Man, what a day! I woke up in Hoenoe (se) and thought, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Spoiler alert: it was NOT chill. First off, I hit up Main St. for coffee. You know, the usual spot, Java Jive. Best brews in town, but today? They messed up my order. I mean, c’mon! I asked for a caramel macchiato, not a plain ol’ black coffee. I was like, “What am I, a caveman?” So, I had to chug that bitter stuff. Ugh. Then, I decided to stroll down Elm St. It’s a cute street, lined with those old brick buildings. I love the vibe. But guess what? There was a street performer. A dude in a chicken suit. Seriously. He was dancing like he was on fire. I couldn’t help but laugh. I mean, who doesn’t love a guy in a chicken suit? But then, he started asking for money. I was like, “Bro, I just gave you my dignity!” After that, I headed to the market on Maple Ave. It’s always buzzing. Fresh fruits, veggies, and all that jazz. I was in the mood for some strawberries. But, of course, they were sold out. I was like, “What is this, a strawberry drought?” So, I settled for some sad-looking apples. Not the same, man. Then, I bumped into my buddy, Dave. He’s always got some wild stories. Today, he told me about this investment scheme he’s into. Something about crypto and llamas. I was like, “Dude, are you high?” But he was dead serious. I couldn’t even. Next, I decided to hit up the park on Oak St. It’s my go-to spot for some peace. But nope! There was a kid flying a drone. And not just any drone—a super loud one. I swear it was trying to invade my personal space. I was ready to throw my apples at it. Finally, I made my way to the waterfront. The view is killer. You can see the sunset reflecting off the water. But then, outta nowhere, a seagull swoops down and steals my apple! I was like, “Really? A bird?!” I mean, come on! I can’t catch a break today. As I was walking back, I passed by the old library on Pine St. It’s this beautiful building, but it was closed. I wanted to check out some econ books. I mean, I’m an economist, right? But nope, locked up tight. I felt like the universe was just messing with me. By the time I got home, I was exhausted. I flopped on my couch and thought, “What a rollercoaster.” Hoenoe (se) really knows how to throw a curveball. But you know what? I wouldn’t trade it for anything. This city is wild, and I love it. Even if it drives me nuts sometimes. So, here’s to more crazy days in Hoenoe (se). Bring it on!
