I cut myself the other day in practice, and instead of a dull, dark red. My blood was very bright and really red. Does this mean im getting good circulation, and a lot oxygen through my blood.

Becoming is absolutely correct. The only thing that determines the colour of blood is oxegen/nutrient content that is delivered by the lungs, to the blood, then transported to wherever in the body it should go. As it gets used up by the body it is slowly being delivered BACK to the lungs to get "filled up" again with oxegen.
Depth of cut does not dictate colour of blood. It may seem that way because if you cut, for example, the liver the blood tends to be dark and viscous, this is a function of what the blood is composed of by the time it gets to the liver as opposed to how deep it is. There are plenty of spots internally that when cut or torn will produce that nice bright cheery/cherry coloured blood.
Typically because arteries carry blood away from the heart and lungs, arterial blood is that bright "happy" blood. The veins typically return blood to the lungs to get "filled up". Hence it is all used up and is dark and "sad".
