Funny is a relative term.

HassleBot yelled at me today, just like it has been for the last five months or so about once every week.
However, I think I'm going to take a moment to actually write something every time it tells me too. Who knows, it could lead somewhere...

I want to talk about Colour today. The dictionary states that colour is...

"the quality of an object or substance with respect to light reflected by the object, usually determined visually by measurement of hue, saturation, and brightness of the reflected light; saturation or chroma; hue."

But what is it really? What is RED? Why does it exist? I mean, we can all look at something and say, "Oh, that's red," but what does that mean? And how do you know it's red? No two people see colour exactly the same, but how dramatic of a change is it between one person and another? Doesn't that mean that RED could actually be GREEN? Which brings to the question: What is Green? Colour has many effects on each person. One person could hate it, another might think that no colour could possibly be better. To one person, YELLOW might mean "happiness," but to another it might only remind them of Pee. Ew. I'm not a philosopher, and no matter how hard I try, I could never sound like one. So, I'm just going to leave you with this song. I feel that it does a decent job at explaining at lease SOME of my ridiculous questions...
Please excuse the video. It's the song that matters.

I'm feeling pretty BLUE today.
