Still trying to figure out what this site should look like. Feel free to let me know of any great ideas you have here.
A story from earlier in the week - went to a wedding - perhaps two of the nicest people in the world got married. It was a great ceremony - touching and funny and loving - fit their personalities perfectly. One of those weddings which really makes you want to fall in love.
There was a big break between the ceremony and the reception (so that we could eat dinner on our own, which was kind of cool), so a few of my friends and I headed towards a bar to have a drink in the newlyweds' honor. On the way there we ran across another friend of ours on the sidewalk in front of the movie theater (which is on the main street "downtown"), pacing back and forth. It's a really long story, but basically he had some words with a guy inside the theater about a lady they both like, and my friend asked this guy to "step outside". And after a couple of minutes, the guy came tearing out of the movie theater, and he and my friend tussled for a while, and eventually we broke it up (with the help of an extremely brave older gent) and got everybody out of there before the cops showed up.
It was ironic - we come from a wedding, all about peace and love, and walk into a fight, which was all about hatred and passion. My Sleepy Hamlet never ceases to amaze.

There must have been some love involved in the fight, or there would't have been such a passionate reaction. Don't you think? Clearly a woman's honour was at the stake.
I wish someone would fight for me.
There was definitely love involved in the fight...one of the couples was married, although the girl wanted out. That added to the irony - the fight was basically about the dissolution of a union, and we had just watched the creation of one.
