I just want to celebrate another day of livin'
I just want to celebrate another day of life
I put my faith in the people
But the people let me down
So I turned the other way
And I carry on, anyhow

That's why I'm telling you
I just want to celebrate, yeah, yeah
I just want to celebrate, yeah, yeah
Another day of living, I just want to celebrate another day of life

Had my hand on the dollar bill
And the dollar bill blew away
But the sun is shining down on me
And it's here to stay
That's why I'm telling you I just want to celebrate, yeah, yeah
Another day of living, yeah
I just want to celebrate another day of living
I just want to celebrate another day of life
Don't let it all get you down,
Don't let it turn you around and around
And around and around

Well, I can't be bothered with sorrow
And I can't be bothered with hate, no, no
I'm using up my time by feeling fine, every day
That's why I'm telling you I just want to celebrate
Aw, yeah
I just want to celebrate yeah yeah
Another day of living, yeah yeah
I just want to celebrate another day of livin', yeah
I just want to celebrate another day of life
Don't let it all get you down, no, no
Don't let it turn you around and around,
And around and around, and around
Around round round 'round and around round round round don't go 'round

why "super" squirrel ?

so I have selected "super" squirrel as my picture for many and various, reasons.

first, I smile when I see this picture. The best reason.

next, the picture reminds me of my old boss; he was always "squirreling" something from someone. his first thought was always "what's in it for me?" you have to both admire and dislike that in a person.

further, it reminds me of some other people i know that could very well be in a first responder field. they are always "squirreling" emergency calls with the object of the game being to either be "first" on every emergency call or the person with the "most" emergency calls to their name. i never could understand this mentality and it makes me re-think my involvement with an emergency call type operation. The reason you might ask? the answer is simple......i could never get myself to believe i'd want to be "first" or "most" on anyone else's emergency situation. mostly because i think if they've called 911, it just can't be "good". makes sense now doesn't it?

in the end, when all else fails see my first reason for this post.

Life perfect Ain't perfect If you don't know what the struggles' for Falling down Ain't falling down If you don't cry when you hit the floor It's called the past cause I'm getting past And I ain't nothing like I was before You ought to see me now
