Color Coding

You can use colors to identify what kind of person you are, what that mystery mass moving in your tupperware is, and even your mood(s). It can be argued (and if you want, I will argue it with you) that all of these things--your personality, your emotions, and even the things you eat--have an impact on your day to day development as a human being [this it not to imply by deductive reasoning that I consider anyone without a personality, feelings or the desire to eat unable to qualify as a person... they have done that all by themselves]. Combine this now established "fact" with the harsh reality that this is my blog, and while you are reading, I technically own a part of you, and soon we arrive at the conclusion that I can say anything else I want afterward and expect you to comply. Which leads me into my next thought...

It is only reasonable then to proceed to assign each of the seven days of the week a corresponding color. Please note that although you might have different opinions based off of your experiences and/or relationship with the days, it is only my views that ultimately matter and are taken into account. Also, there is no consideration taken here with those who are color blind and thus cannot relate. I am sorry but I had already started this process before I realized that. Moving on:

Sunday- Green. It wasn't always this way, but it is official until I change my mind again. There are very few shades, tints and tones of green I do not like. The same can be said of my Sundays, which are almost always varying degrees of pleasant. White also works because it has an appropriate 'clean' connotation to it, although not truly a color.

Monday-Purple. This might be my most difficult to label. Like the color, they can almost always start out attractive enough, but it doesn't take too much to make them unappealing.

Tuesday-Orange. I am learning to appreciate and understand this day. And its attached hue has also begun to endear itself to me. Let me make it clear though, that it is still not within the ranks of Sunday/Green or Friday/Red. It still has a long way to go, but it is making good strides.

Wednesday-Blue. Blue, along with this day, can be one of the most striking and captivating things you can experience, if executed correctly. Sadly, this is not always the case. But Wednesday has a nice sound to it, and I have to give it recognition for managing to confuse everyone with its spelling at some point.

Thursday-Black. Because nobody likes you, Thursday. Black is also not a color, but somehow you manage to make it fit you.

Friday-Red. Not just any red. Bold red. Strong, fierce, independent red. I do not see this one changing. Ever. I love you Friday, even with your faults, few though they be.

Saturday-Brown. This is not an insult to the day. It actually happens to bear one of my favorite colors (yet again, the term "color" is not entirely accurate). Some browns just take it too far in the end, and I've had many, many Saturdays that started out a glorious and beautiful tan and ended up as mud. It is not unlike a blissful session of cartoons being uprooted by hard labor and chores. Why, Mom and Dad? Why?

Done. That's the way it is. You can tell me what you might change, but as I said earlier, it won't make much of a difference. Hey, I don't make the rules. Well, actually I do.

I don't think there is a day of the week I don't like. However, there are a few colors that are less favored. I don't dare tell you though since you are the boss of this blog and my reading privileges may be revoked.

I didn't forget yellow. I purposefully left it out.
