I don't know what's up with this, but lately I've been seeing red. I seem to cycle through colours I'm feeling, and that seems to be where it's progressed to now. Through my teenaged years I was really into purple... it's such a bright, vibrant colour. In the late 80s it was specifically this car that changed my colour to red.



A little white later I was feeling blue, probably around the time I got my blue del Sol. My favourite car colours changed since then (to white and then yellow), but that was just for cars. Instead of single colours, I had favourite colour combinations. Blue and beige, brown and yellow, brown and pink.... but now I'm feeling red.

My red preference has gone back to a rich, deep blood red. Maybe it has something to do with watching all the blood in Dexter, or the new paint in the office. But the big thing is that's all I can see right now. Red cars, red lights, red stripes on wheels... if it's on any colour it's black. It's always red though.

Maybe I just really like my new iPod nano.


Or these new Volk wheels.


Odd coincidence that I've had three red cars, even though at the time I hated the colour. I don't know if I could do it again, unless it was one of these.


I don't know if it means anything other than it's time to update my site and/or blog. I've been thinking about the relationship between the two of the biggest things the colour represents to me: love and aggression. I've been relating it to music, like drum 'n bass vs. sexy house. Or even some old Aphex Twin stuff with mad screwed up breakbeats with quaint melodies on top. Something I've always appreciated on both levels. Like bittersweet, or sweet/spicy (yum).
