Yes, a "Blue Moon" is just the second full moon to occur within one calender month. When I was in college I got lucky on the night of the blue moon and I think I set up an unfortunate situation that would define my love life, i.e. "once in a blue moon". oops.

No but I have seen the harvest moon and a moon that was kind larger then usural that was more red. I wasn't drining nor do I take drugs so when I saw it I felt a little freaked out.

One modern blue moon definition is a result of a misinterpretation of the Maine Farmer's Almanac, where a second full moon occurs in a calendar month. The older definition of blue moon is for an extra full moon that occurs in a quarter of the year, which would normally have three full moons,not always, but sometimes has four. Oddly, it is the third full moon in a season that has four which is counted as the "extra" other full moon and named blue moon.
The most obvious meaning of blue moon is when the moon (not necessarily a full moon) appears to a casual observer to be unusually bluish, which is a rare event. The effect can be caused by smoke or dust particles in the atmosphere, as has happened after forest fires in Sweden in 1950 and Canada in 1953 and, notably, after the eruption of Krakatoa in 1883, which caused the moon to appear blue for nearly two years.
August 2005 — Third full moon in a season of four full moons
June 2007 — has a second full moon falling on the 30th
May 2008 — Third full moon in a season of four full moons
November 2010 — Third full moon in a season of four full moons

I thought I saw a blue moon one time but later realized I had blue lens in my eyeglasses.

A lovers moon is clear and bright,
It came to guild true love through the night.
A liers moon is dark and grey,
It came to chase true love away
(Scene from "American Warewolf in London")

Yes in May, or June?
The Full Moon occurs at 01:05 hrs UT on June 1, 2007 (UT is Greenwich Mean Time in the old money), which is 9:05 PM EDT on May 31 in the Americas. So by a curious quirk of time zones, the month of May 2007 has the two Full Moons in the US and places west of the Meridien (including Canada, Mexico, South and Central America and the Caribbean), the first on May 2 in Scorpio (the Wesak Moon) and the second on May 31 in Sagittarius, but for people who live in the UK, Ireland and places east of the Meridien (Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand), it is June 2007 that has two Full Moons, the first on June 1 in Sagittarius and the second on June 30, in Capricorn. What an oddball situation!
Australia will get its next blue moon on New Year's Eve 2009.
