Closing This Chapter For A New

Waiting for everything to end
And move on
Is like waiting for a clock
To tick along
And keep the day goin
To release us from this cage
Of youth and no worries
As we let things go with age
And turn this page to the next
As life speeds up even more
And turn to the next chapter
Open a new door

(Chorus:)
We’re closing this chapter for a new
After everything we’ve been through
And our memories
Of everything we’d do
We’re closing this chapter for a new

Barbies were yesterday
GI Joes were there too
Then we kept aging
And it came to I love you’s
And driving around
Talking with friends
Like nothing could touch us
Life was just a trend
Like those presents under the tree
That we’d open up so fast
Not even reading the cards
The smiles were still cast
As we lived life at its best
Like it were our last

(Repeat Chorus:)
We’re closing this chapter for a new
After everything we’ve been through
And our memories
Of everything we’d do
We’re closing this chapter for a new

Now the years have moved on
We’ve grown up so much
We’re not those little kids anymore
Now its those kids live’s we’ll touch
As role models and everything more
As we get life jobs
And have families to care for
Because in the end we have memories
We’ll look back on later
And become even more free
Because graduation is just one mark
Out of three…

(Repeat Chorus:)
We’re closing this chapter for a new
After everything we’ve been through
And our memories
Of everything we’d do
We’re closing this chapter for a new

This chapter is a new
As we move on
And learn to choose
After moving on in this book
To a chapter’s new
(Fade:)
INSTRUMENTATION: Vocals, Lead Guitar, Bass, Drums

Did I say whoa? I guess I have some song writing to do. I'll write these prospective clients back with quotes for their desired products.

And all this thinking about mail reminded me of the word male which in turn reminded me of Father's Day. Ahh Father's day, the day of Fathers, or as they say in Spanish, Padres.

Yes the Padres...The baseball franchise located in Orange County's bastard step sister city San Diego. I don't much care for those Padres... Here's why:

1. In 2003 when attending a game at the old Qualcomm stadium, Ari, Gabe, Walker, Sam and I could not find the park as there were zero signs on the highway. After finally finding our way there we were told that the upper deck was sold out and we were forced to buy expensive "field level" outfield seats. First off not a soul was in the upper deck and secondly an outfield seat should never go for a field level price. Plus their food sucked.

2. Just two weeks ago Sam, Gabe, Adam, Eric and I drove down for the game against the White Sox. It took almost 3 hours to get down there (about 100 miles) which I blame on Padres fans solely. When we did get there the park and district that the park were nestled in were quite amazing I must say . . . BUT, the fans were straight up ASSHOLES!!! They surrounded us and chanted that our team sucked, and even as we were leaving the stadium after the heartbreaking loss, they continued to taunt us.

I officially hate the Padres more than any other franchise in sports and that's saying ALOT. But I can't go out on a negative note so I'll end this long entry with the . . .

TOP 5 things Father's SHOULD NOT SAY to their daughter's boyfriend:

5. In reference to an athlete falling from grace, "Marriage ruined his focus. If you can help it NEVER get married."

4. "Did you get a load of that girl...? Whooo-weee!"

3. "If she's anything like her mother, there's this little move in the bedroom that typically gets the job done."

2. "If you decide to hang in on this relationship, and believe me I won't be shocked if you bolt, but if you do stick around, you mind eloping?"

1. "If she's anything like her mother, you really should bolt."

Oh Padres.
