Man, what a day! I swear, Karosta is a wild ride. I woke up, and the sun was blaring like it was auditioning for a role in a summer blockbuster. I’m a broker, right? So, I’m all about those deals, but today? Pffft, it was like trying to catch a greased pig.
First off, I hit up the main drag, Zvaigžņu iela. It’s like the heart of Karosta, ya know? But today, it felt more like a circus. I’m cruising down, and boom! A seagull swoops down and almost takes my sandwich. Like, dude, chill! I’m just trying to eat here. I mean, I get it, it’s a coastal town, but come on!
So, I finally park my ride near the Karosta Prison. That place is creepy AF. I mean, it’s got this whole “I’m gonna haunt your dreams” vibe. But hey, it’s a tourist spot, so I’m thinking, “Let’s make some deals!” I’m meeting this client, right? He’s late. Of course. Typical. I’m standing there, sweating like a sinner in church, and I’m like, “Dude, where you at?”
While I’m waiting, I start chatting with this old lady. She’s sitting on a bench, knitting like it’s the last day on Earth. I ask her about the prison, and she goes off about how it used to be a military base. I’m like, “Wow, history lesson!” But then she starts telling me ghost stories. I’m trying to keep it together, but I’m low-key freaked out. I mean, I’m a broker, not a ghostbuster!
Finally, my client shows up, looking like he just rolled outta bed. I’m like, “Bro, we’re in Karosta, not a sleepover!” We head to the beach, and I’m trying to pitch him this property. The waves are crashing, and I’m like, “This is prime real estate!” But he’s more interested in the seagulls. Seriously?
Then, outta nowhere, this kid runs by, chasing a dog. The dog jumps into the water, and the kid’s like, “Noooo!” I’m cracking up. Like, dude, it’s just a dog! But then the dog comes back, soaking wet, and shakes off right next to us. I’m drenched! I’m like, “Great, now I smell like wet dog.”
After that, we finally get back to business. I’m trying to sell him this sweet spot on Jūras iela. It’s got a view of the sea, and I’m all hyped. But he’s still distracted by the beach volleyball game happening nearby. I’m like, “C’mon, man! Focus!”
Then, I get a call. It’s my boss. He’s like, “Did you close the deal?” I’m like, “Uh, kinda busy here!” He’s not having it. I can feel the pressure. I’m sweating bullets. I’m thinking, “If I don’t close this, I’m toast.”
Finally, my client decides he’s in. I’m like, “YES!” But then he says he wants to think about it. I’m like, “Dude, we just had a moment!” But whatever, I’m just happy he’s not running away.
As the sun starts to set, I’m walking back to my car, feeling like I just ran a marathon. Karosta is beautiful at dusk, though. The colors are insane. I stop by the beach for a sec, just to breathe. I see the old fort, and I’m like, “Man, this place has stories.”
But then, I trip over a rock. Classic me. I’m laughing at myself, thinking, “What a day!” I get in my car, and I’m just grateful. Karosta, you crazy town, you’ve got my heart.
So yeah, that was my day. Full of chaos, laughter, and a sprinkle of madness. Can’t wait to do it all over again tomorrow!
