The title is from the song "Hanging by a moment" by Lifehouse. That song and that band helped me get through the last few days...like I said in the note I posted on facebook, with the lyrics to that song. [I'm not sure if I am relating to this song, because I just heard it again for the first time in a while or if it's because it reminds me of a trip I took in grade 11. At any rate the lyrics are great and I've fallen in love with it again. But not just this song all the Lifehouse songs, they're wonderfully crafted. And Jason Wade has a very comforting voice...] Oh and I think the best way to enjoy their songs is with head phones(actually it's the best way to listen to most songs).
I guess music makes me happy too...but I already knew that.
Oh the point of the lyric as the title was that I spent the better point of the day at the school again(9:45AM until 6:50PM-ish). So in real life, standing was actually sitting and I made myself stay until it was done... But I got my documentary done and let me tell you when I left that class room this evening it was as if a huge weight was instantly lifted off my shoulders. My world turned around(for the better). Not only that but I went to the Slammers game, I was running the music(paying job!), I got there just in time(out of the school by 6:50 at the rink by 7:20, had time to eat and chill for a few mins, not bad turn over).
The guys were happy that I showed up, even if i was a tad late. As you can imagine I was just happy to be at the rink, but was that much more happy when the guys skated out on the ice and leading the team was my fave goalie. Not only had it felt like forever since the last game but it also felt like I had seen him in forever and a day. It was as if the last two days didn't even happen, it's true that the outside world doesn't even matter when you are in the rink. The Slammers got the first goal but ended up losing the lead in the third only to score at 16:17 to tie the game at 3, forcing overtime. Which seemed to end just as fast as it started with the game still tied. Forcing the shoot out, I think this was only the second time we have seen a shootout at home, this season. I knew that 'my' goalie was 2-0 in the shootout, so I figured we would have a good shot(no pun intended). The first two shooters for the Timberwolves and our first shooter, didn't score. But our second shooter scored which ended up being the game winner(4-3 was the final). It was a great game! And a great way to end my week...
The World Pond Hockey Championship is going on 'just up the road' in Plaster Rock...I had kind of hoped to make it this year, but it doesn't look too good. At this point, I'd almost rather travel to Miramichi and see the Slammers play tomorrow, but I know that won't happen...so I am going to sleep until lunch(or later) and enjoy Hockey Day In Canada from the comforts of my room. :D
I've unfortunately got a few things to work on for school...but they can wait, I need a day off and that I shall get! Sleep will happen now...good day!
That was probably one of the best games I seen all season.
