when i was around 4-7 i lived in livermore. i remember going to this park behind my house (more like apartment) with my dad all the time. there was this rocketship shaped playground thingy. it was hollow and made of those heavy steel wires you see a lot of the buildings made of in saudi arabia. i think they reinforce the building before they slap the concrete and cement on there or something. anyways, there was this mini ladder thing in there and three "levels" set up so you could climb to the middle level and look around and then to the third.

i remember going to the third and highest level sometimes and sitting there scared shitless. this level was something like 25-30 feet off the ground...and for a five year old, that's really tall. i remember looking out and around and realizing how un-sturdy and ridiculously high i was.

i loved being up there though.

in a way, i wish i could go back to being a little kid. it was like constant a.d.d. everything excited me and fascinated me. everything was fun. playing imaginary games with my friends and killing small animals was pretty fun too.

this song reminds me of those times.
