Man, what a day! Overschie, you wild little town. I woke up this mornin’ thinkin’ it’d be just another boring day. But nah, Overschie had other plans.
First off, I hit up the local bakery on the Hoofdstraat. You know, the one with the best stroopwafels? Yeah, that place. I’m standin’ there, waitin’ for my fix, and this old dude in front of me is takin’ forever. Like, c’mon man, it’s just bread! I’m about to lose it. But then, he turns around and gives me this huge smile. I mean, how can ya be mad at that? So, I just chuckle and let it slide.
Grabbed my stroopwafel and headed to the park. The sun was out, and I thought, “Hey, maybe today won’t suck.” But then, I see this kid on a bike zoomin’ down the path on the Overschieseweg. He’s goin’ way too fast, and I’m thinkin’, “Dude, slow down before you eat pavement!” And guess what? He wipes out right in front of me. I rush over, heart racin’, but he just hops up like it’s no biggie. Kids these days, man.
So, I’m sittin’ on a bench, tryin’ to chill, when I hear this loud commotion. Turns out, there’s a market on the Markt! I love a good market. Fresh veggies, flowers, and all that jazz. I stroll over, and it’s packed. I’m dodgin’ people left and right, feelin’ like I’m in some kinda obstacle course.
I spot this vendor sellin’ the most beautiful tulips. I mean, they were yellin’ at me to buy ‘em. So, I do. I’m walkin’ around with these tulips, feelin’ like a king. But then, I see my ex. Ugh, why? She’s with some dude, and they’re laughin’. I’m tryin’ to act cool, but inside, I’m like, “Why’d I even come here?”
I decide to grab a snack to drown my sorrows. I hit up this food truck on the Zandweg. Best frikandel ever! I’m munchin’ away, and suddenly, it starts rainin’. Like, outta nowhere! I’m runnin’ for cover, frikandel in hand, lookin’ like a wet dog.
Then, I bump into my buddy, Jeroen. He’s always got the craziest stories. He tells me about this ghost he saw near the old church on the Kerkweg. I’m like, “Dude, you serious?” But he’s deadpan, and I can’t help but laugh. Overschie’s got its share of legends, but a ghost? Really?
After all that chaos, I finally head home. I’m exhausted, but I can’t stop thinkin’ about the day. Overschie, you’re a trip. One minute I’m mad, the next I’m laughin’. It’s like a rollercoaster.
I plop down on my couch, tulips still in hand, and just think. Life’s weird, man. But I wouldn’t trade my crazy Overschie days for anything.
