I am Red-Green Colour Blind so I thought this was interesting. 14-billion-years-later: Forbidden ColoursThe news that there are “colours” that you cannot see should not be new news to you. The idea that mixtures of colours based off the visible spectrum that you still cannot see may be however. Certain colours, such as pink, are mixtures of different wavelengths of light, but other colours that are mixtures simply cannot be perceived and sound a bit like a real life octarine. These are colours such as red-green and blue-yellow, which are not actually what you get when you mix the two, but really a reddish variety of green or a bluish yellow colour. So why can’t we see these colours? The answer lies in what are known as “opponent neurons” in the eye’s retina. When red is seen one type of these neurons will fire, which the brain sees as red, when green is seen the neuron is silent and this lack of signaling is perceived as green. Interestingly this is also the basis of Red-Green colour blindness. So although these colours actually exist, we cannot see them because we cannot have a neuron firing and not firing at the same time.

LAME!

I’m pretty excited tonight. I’m gonna hang out with my friends and play some D&D. Now I know what you’re thinking, but I have had sex. (haha) It feels like it’s been a while since we’ve played. We usually play once a week. My character is a bad ass Tiefling Rogue. He is very sharp witted and extremely charismatic. I guess I chose that character because that’s how I would like to be. Maybe playing will give me even more insight into myself.

But for now I’m done. Time to slay the beasts of the land!

Spare Change?

Why is change so hard? If you don’t like what is happening in a certain part of your life or even your life as a whole, then change it. Easier said then done. We become comfortable in the banality of our lives. So much so that we are afraid to change, even if it’s for the better. Get out of your comfort zone, even for a second. You’ll be surprised at how much good can come from it. A friend told me this quote:

‘If you want something you’ve never had, you have to do something you’ve never done to get it.’

-Unknown

That quote really hit home with me.

I know I don’t have many followers but when I get more, I hope this helps them.
