Discussing words tonight and the thought crossed my head. What the hell is a see-saw and why is it called that? Well, it was put to me in a very colorful fashion by Mr. Jake. I will paraphrase what was said for I do not have a photographic memory. When you go up you have seen something and then once you come back down you have saw something. Essentially this is a colliding of the present and past in one swift motion. What a wonderful spin on something that no one would even give a second thought too and there it is. I hope that this spreads around because the definition that is giving elsewhere is quite stuffy and boring. I love creativity and it's amazing how one simple question can become such a wonderful answer. Now whenever I get on a see-saw I will smile at the thought at how much more there is to a name then what we ever give it credit for. How one idea can jump to another and end up in creative bliss. It was a wonderful day and I hope tomorrow brings more enjoyment and enlightenment. I'm beginning to understand breathing new life into something you once thought was tired and stale. Life is but a series of happenings that we often take for just a series of happenings. There is so much more to life though. Believe me. I have a pretty interesting idea on what life entails. =D
I miss see-saws, tried it once as an adult bad results.....
