Man, what a day! I’m tellin’ ya, being a bouncer in Huizum is like riding a rollercoaster blindfolded. You never know what’s comin’ next. So, I roll into work at this club on de Dijk. It’s a chill spot, but tonight? Oh boy, it was anything but chill.
First off, the weather was all over the place. One minute, it’s sunny, and the next, it’s pouring like the heavens opened up. I’m standin’ outside, lookin’ like a drowned rat, and people are still tryin’ to get in. Like, c’mon, it’s raining cats and dogs! But nah, they’re all about that nightlife. I respect the hustle, but seriously, some folks need to chill.
So, I’m checkin IDs, right? And this dude, I swear, he’s got a fake ID that looks like it was printed on a home printer. I’m like, “Bro, you think I’m blind?” He gets all defensive, starts yellin’ about his rights. I’m just tryin’ to do my job, man! I told him to hit the road, and he storms off, muttering something about “discrimination.” Like, dude, it’s not discrimination if you’re not even 18!
Then, outta nowhere, this group of girls comes up. They’re all giggles and glitter, and I’m thinkin’, “Okay, this could be fun.” But then one of ‘em trips on the cobblestones on de Wier, and boom! She goes down like a sack of potatoes. I rush over, and she’s laughin’ and cryin’ at the same time. I help her up, and she’s like, “I’m fine, I’m fine!” But her friend is freakin’ out, like she just saw a ghost. I’m just standin’ there, tryin’ not to laugh.
After that, things got wild. Some guy starts a fight over a spilled drink. I mean, c’mon, it’s just a drink! But nah, fists are flyin’, and I’m in the middle of it, tryin’ to separate these clowns. I’m shoutin’, “Yo! Chill out! We’re not in a boxing ring!” But they’re not hearin’ me. Finally, I manage to get ‘em apart, and they’re both lookin’ at me like I’m the bad guy. Like, really? I’m just tryin’ to keep the peace here!
Then, just when I think it can’t get crazier, this old lady walks by. She’s got a shopping cart full of groceries, and she stops to watch the chaos. I’m thinkin’, “Lady, you’re in the wrong place!” But she just shakes her head and says, “Kids these days.” I couldn’t help but laugh. She’s got more wisdom than half the crowd.
As the night goes on, I’m feelin’ a mix of emotions. I’m angry, I’m happy, I’m just... exhausted. But then, I see this couple on the corner of de Wier and de Dijk. They’re just standin’ there, lookin’ at each other like they’re the only two people in the world. It’s kinda sweet, honestly. Makes me think about love and all that mushy stuff.
But then, bam! A firework goes off in the distance. I jump, spill my drink, and the couple jumps too. Turns out, it’s just some festival down the street. I’m like, “Great, now I’m on edge for no reason!” But the couple starts laughin’, and I can’t help but smile.
Finally, the night winds down. I’m standin’ outside, watchin’ the last few stragglers stumble home. The streets of Huizum are quiet again, and I can finally breathe. I think about all the craziness, the fights, the laughter, and the old lady with her cart. It’s a wild job, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
So yeah, that was my day. Just another night in Huizum, where the unexpected is the norm, and every moment is a story waiting to happen. Can’t wait to do it all again tomorrow!
