Man, what a day! I’m tellin’ ya, Cocieri (md) really knows how to throw a curveball. I woke up thinkin’ it’d be just another chill day, ya know? But nah, the universe had other plans.
First off, I hit the streets of Strada Muncesti. It’s like the heart of the city, ya feel me? I’m cruisin’ along, just vibin’, when I see this old dude tryin’ to cross the street. He’s like a turtle on a mission, slow as molasses. I’m thinkin’, c’mon man, I got places to be! But then, he stops and starts talkin’ to a pigeon. A freakin’ pigeon! I’m like, “Dude, you’re gonna get run over!” But he’s just there, givin’ life advice to this bird. I couldn’t help but laugh.
Then, I hit up the market on Strada Călărași. Man, the smells! Fresh bread, fruits, and that sweet, sweet aroma of grilled meat. I’m droolin’ just thinkin’ about it. I grab a kebab from this stand, and it’s like heaven in my mouth. But then, outta nowhere, this kid runs by and knocks my food right outta my hand! I’m like, “Are you serious, bro?” I was ready to throw down, but the kid just giggles and runs off. I mean, what’s wrong with kids these days?
After that, I needed a pick-me-up. So, I head over to the café on Strada Vasile Alecsandri. I order a coffee, and the barista, this cool chick, gives me a wink. I’m thinkin’, “Alright, maybe today ain’t so bad.” But then, my coffee comes out cold! Like, what’s up with that? I’m not tryin’ to drink iced coffee in the middle of fall! I tell her, and she just laughs it off. “You gotta chill, man!” she says. I mean, I get it, but c’mon!
So, I’m walkin’ down to the park by the river, Strada Prutului. It’s beautiful there, with the trees and the water. I sit on a bench, tryin’ to calm down. But then, I see this couple havin’ a full-on argument. They’re yellin’, throwin’ hands, and I’m just sittin’ there, eatin’ my feelings. I mean, who fights in public like that? Get a room, people!
But then, outta nowhere, this little girl comes up to me. She’s got this huge smile and hands me a flower. “For you!” she says. I’m like, “Aww, thanks, kiddo!” It totally made my day. I mean, how can you be mad when a kid gives you a flower?
As the sun starts settlin’ down, I decide to hit up the local bar on Strada 31 August. I need a drink after all this craziness. I walk in, and it’s packed. Everyone’s laughin’, talkin’, and I’m just tryin’ to find a spot. Finally, I squeeze in at the bar. I order a beer, and the bartender, this dude with a beard, gives me a nod. “You survived the day, huh?” he says. I’m like, “You have no idea, man.”
I sit there, drink in hand, and just soak it all in. Cocieri is wild, man. It’s got its ups and downs, but that’s what makes it real. I mean, where else can you see a dude talkin’ to a pigeon, a kid knockin’ over your food, and a couple fightin’ all in one day?
By the time I head home, I’m exhausted but happy. Cocieri, you crazy, but I love ya. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
