Man, what a day! Seriously, Zeewolde, you’ve got me all kinds of twisted. So, I wake up, right? Sun’s shining, birds chirping, and I’m like, “Today’s gonna be epic!” Spoiler alert: it was not.
First off, I hit the streets. I’m cruising down de Ronde, thinking about my game design project. You know, the one where you build your own theme park? Yeah, that one. I’m pumped! But then, BAM! I step in a puddle. Like, who even leaves puddles in the middle of the street? Ugh! My shoes are soaked. Great start, right?
So, I’m grumbling, walking past the Zeewolde marina. It’s kinda pretty, I guess. Boats everywhere, people chilling. But I’m not in the mood for pretty. I’m in the mood for coffee. I need caffeine, like, yesterday. I swing by this little café on de Wetering. The barista? Super chill. I order a cappuccino, and she’s like, “You want extra foam?” I’m like, “Heck yeah!” I mean, who doesn’t love foam?
While I’m waiting, I notice this dude outside. He’s trying to impress some girl with his skateboard tricks. But, man, he totally eats it. Like, faceplant city. I can’t help but laugh. Sorry, dude, but that was hilarious! The girl? She just rolls her eyes. Ouch!
Finally, I get my coffee. I take a sip, and it’s like heaven. But then, I spill it all over my shirt. Seriously? I’m a mess! I look down, and it’s like a coffee crime scene. I’m standing there, trying to wipe it off with a napkin, but it’s just smearing everywhere. Great. Just great.
So, I decide to head to the park. You know, the one by de Korte Dijk? It’s usually chill, but today? Nope. There’s a kids’ soccer game going on. And let me tell you, those kids are intense! They’re running around like little maniacs. I’m just trying to find a spot to sit, but it’s like dodging a minefield. I almost get taken out by a flying soccer ball.
I finally find a bench, plop down, and try to chill. But then, this old guy sits next to me. He starts talking about his pet parrot. I’m like, “Cool, man, but I’m not really in the mood for bird stories.” He goes on and on about how his parrot can say “hello” in five languages. I’m just nodding, thinking, “Dude, I just wanna design games, not hear about your feathered friend.”
After that, I’m like, “I need to get outta here.” So, I head to the Zeewolde shopping center. I’m looking for inspiration, ya know? I walk into this game store, and they have a sale! I’m like, “Yes! Finally, some good luck!” I grab a couple of games, but then I see the price tag. My wallet screams. I put them back.
On my way out, I bump into an old friend. We start chatting, and it’s all good vibes. But then, he mentions this new game that’s dropping soon. I’m like, “Wait, what?!” I totally missed the memo. Now I’m stressed. I gotta keep up with the industry!
As the day winds down, I’m walking back home, and I pass by the Zeewolde windmills. They’re kinda majestic, I guess. But I’m still in my head, thinking about my game. I’m angry, happy, confused—like a rollercoaster of emotions.
Finally, I get home, plop on the couch, and just breathe. What a day! Zeewolde, you’ve thrown me for a loop. But hey, at least I’ve got stories to tell. And tomorrow? Tomorrow’s a new day. Let’s see what you’ve got for me, Zeewolde!
