Sign-in, if you are for peace

Was never in a fight, where you exchange fists. Not even a sissy word war. I only had punched someone twice in my entire life. One in grade 4. Last was junior year, when my classmate teasingly didnt hand my takyan. I was furious, i gave him a quick nose punch. ye! I had a good throw on him. His nose bled and I wasn't even terrified because simply i know some friends would always take my enemy's return punch.

It had always been like that because I am the smallest in the class. My tall friends would always protect and would call the fights for me. I learned it
first when they pushed me to accept a fight in grade 4. They instructed me to give the first punch then they'll instantly split us so my enemy won't have a chance of boxing back. Wicked plan, ayt. But when the other boy insists on, my tall friends would then challenge him for a fair fight because hitting a small guy - that's me! - is lamely gay. "Choose your own size," my tall friends would always say.

From then on, i got my private army but
never a head bloated with air.

That band of brothers who stood in the frontline to defend, protect and challenge any violent adversaries had an other adverse effect aside from nobody daring to fight with me: I became peace-loving.

Peace became my comfort zone. I stopped seeking stupid fights. I do away from fight clubs and resolve conflicts immediately, as possible. When friends are in conflict, I always go in-between to resolve the harsh exchanges....that is if they are willing to listen. But when they dont, i dont simply give a damn. Instead, id even encourage a brawl. Easier said than done. I still ended up giving a damn and no brawls among my friends were recorded by my
pentium 1 memory.

I dont have my private army anymore to clean up any mess that my other friends would make. Im still secured though because im not going into any warfare. Call me coward, too neutral, sipsip, faker, handwasher and lame. but anger is such a baggage in any way it is expressed and I AM CALLING A GRAND PEACEFUL RECONCILIATION.

A handshake/a genuine hug/light (or even hard) tap at the back/a game would do to resolve any complex conflicts.

who is up for reconciliation on 2pm, Sunday, Tionko Fields? bring and tell your friends and we'll play the friendliest game ever in history. sign-in if you are for peace and write your reconciliatory testimony and contribution here!

we may not be equally party freaks or the happiest disc community. making this GRAND RECONCILIATION happen would mark us as the Most Spirited!
