Man, what a day! Seriously, I’m still buzzin’ from all the craziness. So, I’m a banderillero, right? Yeah, that’s a fancy word for a bullfighter’s assistant. But today? Today was a whole different rodeo.
I woke up in Moriyama, this chill city in Japan, right? It’s got that perfect mix of old-school charm and modern vibes. I mean, you got the beautiful Lake Biwa nearby, and the streets are lined with cherry blossoms. But lemme tell ya, today was anything but peaceful.
First off, I hit up the local market on Kawai Street. Man, the food there is unreal! I grabbed some takoyaki, and I swear, it was like a party in my mouth. But then, outta nowhere, this old dude bumps into me. Like, c’mon, bro! Watch where you’re going! I almost dropped my food. I was ready to throw down, but he just smiled and bowed. Classic Japan, right?
After that, I headed over to the Moriyama City Hall area. I had to meet up with the crew for practice. We were supposed to work on our moves, but instead, we ended up arguing about who’s the best banderillero. I mean, c’mon, it’s obviously me! But they were all like, “Nah, it’s Takashi!” Ugh, so annoying.
Then, outta nowhere, it started pouring rain. Like, seriously? I’m in my gear, and now I’m soaked. I was so mad! But then, I saw this little kid jumpin’ in puddles, laughin’ his head off. And I thought, “Man, I’m such a grump.” So, I joined him. We were splashing around like a couple of fools. Best moment of the day, for sure.
Later, we finally got to practice at the Moriyama Sports Park. The sun came out, and it was like a scene from a movie. I was feelin’ pumped! But then, I tripped over my own feet. Yup, classic me. Everyone laughed, and I just rolled with it. Gotta keep it light, right?
But then, the real drama hit. We were practicing our moves, and I saw this bull in the distance. It was just chillin’, but I swear, it looked at me like it was plotting something. I was like, “Dude, don’t even think about it!” But then, my buddy Hiro got too close, and the bull charged! I freaked out! I mean, I’m a banderillero, but I’m not ready for a bull to come at me like that!
Hiro barely dodged it, and we all just stood there, jaws on the floor. I was like, “What the heck just happened?” It was wild!
After that, we decided to call it a day. I was exhausted, but I couldn’t stop laughing about the whole thing. I walked back through the streets of Moriyama, and everything felt different. The cherry blossoms were swaying, the sun was setting, and I just felt grateful.
So yeah, that was my day. Full of ups and downs, but that’s life, right? Moriyama, you crazy city, you never fail to surprise me!
