About me:
I just joined. You, too, can be like me.

"I think people who truly can live a life in music are telling the world, ‘You can have my love, you can have my smiles. Forget the bad parts, you don't need them. Just take the music, the goodness, because it's the very best, and it's the part I give most willingly.'"
~George Harrison 25.2.1943 - 29.11.2001~

Just call me Swanky...
Ok, so me in a nut shell... not a good idea, don't really like small confined places. Now that that's out of the way, let me just say that I am a strange college student from CT. Contrary to what the movies will have you believe, I did not grow up in a borring small town, I'm not a yuppie, and I most definately am NOT rich. Rather I grew up in a borring city, I'm more of an Artsy-Fartsy, Hippie-ish, conservative capitalist who is just the average broke college student. I'm sure that this makes no sense to those who don't know me, so leave me a post if you feel daring enough to brave the unfathomable depth known as Swanky...

And Now I shall leave you with a few quotes from one of the most enjoyable authors (IMHO) of the 20th century:

"The knack of flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.."
~Douglas Adams 11.3.1952 - 11.5.2001 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galexy

"It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination."
~Douglas Adams 11.3.1952 - 11.5.2001 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galexy

"Now it is such a bizarrely impossible coincidence that anything so mind-bogglingly useful [as the Bable fish] could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of the nonexistence of God. The arguement goes something like this:
'I refuse to prove that I exist,' says God, 'for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.'
'But,' say Man, 'the Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED.'
'Oh dear,' says God, 'I hadn't though of that' and promply vanishes in a puff of logic."
~Douglas Adams 11.3.1952 - 11.5.2001 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galexy

If the color names of blue and green were to be switched, would the human mind actaully see a green sky and blue grass, or would the actual colors remain the same and only the name we identify them by change?
It is my opinion that the human persepction of the world is not only based on the physical properties of our enviroment, but also on the way in which our minds' interpert those properties. Therefore, I would say that the actual color of the sky and grass may not change, but what we see would be only our own interepertation of the color we believe we should be seeing. There is no way to tell if when I look at a blue sky I am actually seeing the same color as anyone else, and there for there is no way to pinpoint exactly what physical color is identified as blue by an individual human mind. In short- I think that we would see what ever color we wanted to see regaurdless of what the actual color was, but I do not believe that the actual color of the sky or grass would change.
