A disturbing Holiday image

Imagine, for a second, a lonely man drinking heavily in a bar on Christmas Eve. As last call arrives, he manages to deeply offend a fellow patron, and they take it outside. The fellow patron proceeds to beat the crap out of this man. Instead of this man being angry, or shocked, or depressed, this man is delighted, because this ass-kicking is the most intimate experience he's had in a great while. Being so lonely and isolated, he feels lucky to find someone who cares enough to spend the first minutes of Christmas with him -- unfortunately, not in a positive, heartwarming way. This man goes home bloodied, bruised, and full of hope.

Happy holidays everyone!

P.S. As I typed "Happy holidays everyone", I realized that this entry is very reminiscent of the entire Girls Are Pretty site. I apologize for inadvertently stealing that site's style.
