Man, what a day! I’m tellin’ ya, being a matador in Moisei is like riding a bull on a rollercoaster. So, I wake up, right? Sun’s blazin’ through my window on Strada Principală. I’m like, “Great, another day to dance with danger.”
First thing, I hit up the local market on Strada Călin. You know, the one with the best mici? I grab a couple for breakfast. I mean, who doesn’t love grilled meat at 8 AM? But then, this old lady starts yellin’ at me. “You’re gonna get yourself killed!” she says. I’m like, “Lady, I’m already dead inside!”
So, I head to the arena. It’s packed! People from all over, even some tourists. I see my buddy, Ion, waving from the stands. He’s got this ridiculous hat on. I can’t help but laugh. But then, I get this weird vibe. Like, something’s off.
The first bull comes out. Man, this guy is HUGE. I swear, he’s been lifting weights or something. I’m thinkin’, “This ain’t gonna end well.” But I gotta do my thing, right? So, I strut out there, all confident-like.
And then, bam! The bull charges. I dodge, roll, and somehow end up on my feet. The crowd goes wild! I’m feelin’ like a rockstar. But then, I trip over my own feet. Classic me, right? Everyone’s laughin’, and I’m just there, red-faced.
After that, I’m on a high. I’m like, “Bring it on!” But then, the second bull? Oh man, he’s a whole different story. He’s fast, like, “Where’d he go?” fast. I’m runnin’ around the ring, and I swear I see my life flash before my eyes. I’m thinkin’ about that time I got lost in the woods near Moisei. Not my best moment.
Finally, I manage to outsmart the bull. I’m feelin’ like a champ! But then, I hear this loud crash. Turns out, some dude in the stands dropped his beer. Everyone’s lookin’ at him like he’s the enemy. I can’t help but chuckle.
After the show, I’m walkin’ down Strada Tineretului, still buzzin’. I stop by that little café, you know the one with the best cozonac? I grab a slice, and it’s like heaven in my mouth. But then, I see this kid, maybe 10 years old, tryin’ to impress his friends. He’s got a stick, pretending it’s a sword. I’m like, “Kid, you’re gonna need more than that!”
But then, I remember my first time in the ring. I was scared outta my mind. So, I go up to him, and I’m like, “Hey, wanna learn some moves?” His eyes light up! We spend the next hour goofin’ around, and I’m feelin’ all warm and fuzzy inside.
As the sun sets over Moisei, I’m walkin’ home, thinkin’ about how crazy life is. I mean, one minute you’re dodging bulls, the next you’re teachin’ kids how to be brave. It’s wild, man.
So yeah, that was my day. Full of ups and downs, laughs and scares. Just another day in Moisei, where the streets are alive, and the bulls are always ready to dance. Can’t wait for tomorrow!
