#chieftans

hands  clutch  her  face,   kisses  placed  everywhere  as  he  uses  his  thumbs  to  brush  hair  off  of  her  face.   "  your  hair  !  "    he  examines  her  face,  older,   different.   he  knows  the  world  has  done  its  worst  on  her.   he  has  to   push  away  the  anger  at  what  he  can  only  imagine  they  put  her  through,   push  away  the  guilt  that  he  wasn't  there  to  save  her  sooner.    but  none  of  it  mattered  right  now.   he  pushes  the  negative  away  to  focus  on  her.   in  front  of  him,  after  thinking  he  would  never  see  her  again.   "  i  like  it."   a   goofy  smile  before  kissing  her  nose. 

Sooo on Sunday I went to my first ice hockey match with my old man and it waas okaay-ish, na it was great to be fair, didn’t know what expect but defiantly didn’t leave disappointed.

The game was Chieftans of chelmsford against Oxford City (don’t know if they have a special name like Chieftans...o well) and the match had 3 rounds instead of it split evenly like two halves or four quarters, who’d a thought. Anyways, it got to round three and we decided to move seats and found a spot right by the ice rink, like literally so close that dad had his coffee on the ledge #mistake and one of the players collided with the glass, you know the glass the protects you from getting hit by the puck #SodThat anyways where was I...O yes the coffee, basically the player collided with the glass, the glass had a ledge, the coffee was on the ledge #NoCoffeeNewts (Newts is a nickname the Newton family have, you realise my surname is Newton too? Good, just making sure you know)

After being amused of how passionate these Chieftan fans get by calling the referee every name under the sun, yea thats why you lost cuz the ref was rubbish, not the fact your team got out played. So the final score was 4-0 to the Chieftans...haha na just kidding Oxford smashed em up, well played!

I did this mix as a gift for family members in late 2002.
