small ponderings

i am the first to admit my mind is a vast place (space?) of wonder and intrigue.  so i give you a couple of reoccurring thoughts i live with . . . ponder with me.

• when i look at color do i see the same color that you do?
• we all process things differently and have opinions that are as varied as we are - so how is it possible that emotions like sadness, humor, pride, appreciation of beauty, etc. strike such a common chord?
• when we are on the outside of an issue looking in, how come the view is so painfully clear? yet if the roles were reversed and we were on the inside of the issue our clarity would be clouded by emotions like sadness, humor. pride, appreciation of beauty, etc. ?  And didn't we just contemplate the common chord they strike?  so, shouldn't we be able to have clarity on either side of the issue?  think about it . . .
• why is brown cake called chocolate cake but white cake is not called vanilla cake - it is called white cake . . . ?
• remember the movie "finding nemo"?  why is nemo not pronounced like memo with an n?
• i think it is really funny when skit actors on snl get the giggles during their skits. 
• you know those couples that truly enjoy each others company (think laurie and tony, missy and greg, carl and marsha, kevin and carol)?  are they happy because they make the choice to be that way, is it chemistry or a combination of these two things?
• when was the last time you tough loved someone and did you regret it in hindsight?

that is all for now.
