Even though this is technically a day late, I feel it is my duty as Captain, to make sure I pay homage to the man that has inspired each and every one of these entries. Yesterday, he turned 63. Oh that must have been tough growing up, celebrating your birthday and Christmas on the same day. Your booty surely must have suffered. But as we all grow older, even the King Pirate has a positive outlook on aging.
Here I’m singin’ happy birthday
Better think about the about the wish I make
This year gone by ain’t been a piece of cake
Everyday’s a revolution
Pull it together and it comes undone
Just one more candle and a trip around the sun
I’m just hangin’ on while this old world keeps spinning
And it’s good to know it’s out of my control
If there’s one thing that I’ve learned from all this livin’
Is that it wouldn’t change a thing if I let go
No you never see it comin’
Always wind up wonderin’ where it went
Only time will tell if it was time well spent
It’s another revelation
Celebrating what I should have done
With these souvenirs of my trip around the sun
I’m just hangin’ on while this old world keeps spinning
And it’s good to know it’s out of my control
If there’s one thing that I’ve learned from all this livin’
Is that it wouldn’t change a thing if I let go
Yes I’ll make a resolution
That I’ll never make another one
Just enjoy this ride on my trip around the sun
Just enjoy this ride
As Jimmy begins his 64th trip around the sun, let us learn something from him. There are times we find ourselves feeling like we are just barely holding on as the world keeps spinning. Once you have realized that you can't control the craziness that the world's spinning causes, the stress of life is no longer a burden. You can start living for the day. And as Jimmy says...enjoy the ride!
