I know I am drifting away from the topic of photography but the reason for posting in this forum is...... I happen to know more people involved in photography than any other Genere.......... so pardon me if you find this irrelevant. This is just a thought for the day from me..... "A dream Fullfilled is a dream Fullkilled" I would like to know your views on this;) please. Peace out!! SNAKEY

Erm.... True? There is always another dream. Or is that, "There is no spoon"? -Taltos

Hmmm..... not sure I can agree with this at all, I'm afraid. We've recently had to have a re-think about the family transport situation (ie, old car becoming more trouble than it's worth) so had to get a new car... sorted, nice car, great condition, plenty features.. 'er indoors is happy. But as the 'oldies' here will contest I've got this thing about the great British little car, the Mini.... well, it's been my dream for a few years to get another one, and tonight I did it!! I found an absolute bargain of a little beauty being sold cheap. It's noisy (they all are), it's uncomfortable (ditto), it's impractical with a family, it's slow (ie. 85mph flat out), and it's very few peoples idea of a dream car..... but they're great fun to drive and coming home with it I just couldn't stop grinning :D I even had to go back out as I'd "forgotten something at work" just for the fun of an hours' drive!! No, this dream fulfilled is just the start of the fun for me........ (",)

and why is it that nobody can make a grilled cheese sandwich like Mom?....

"A dream Fullfilled is a dream Fullkilled" hmmm... well, we must have our dreams or we'd be dead inside... (what now, is that all there is) but it would be awfully nice to have a couple fullfilled & congrats on the Mini JA :]

Thanks for adding your comments. :O)) I sometimes go through this phase. I pursure my dreams vigourously. I am a go Getter, never say die. I have tried to overcome my limitations and tried to use them to my advantage. I have always pursued my dreams........ and yes, I have fullfilled them, most, atleast. But the enthusiasm, the fire, the killer instinct slowly fades off. It is like, I have reached the very top of a hill and the only option now is to either sit there or come back. It is no longer a thrill. Reaching the top was, maybe, but not sitting at the top, it is no thrill or it is sometimes like...... What next?? From one to another, I need to hop on. I am unable to stick to any one passion. I think I will spend my whole life just pursuing things. Realisation is no fun , thats why I felt this way.... A dream fullfilled was a dream fullkilled. This came in reference to a friends remark who said, why is it that true love is not possible?? and I told this friend, true love is possible, if you don't get the one you love and he or she remains a fantasy, an image in our facination, something like a Romeo and Juliet tale. Marriage or commitment in relationship kills love or what we perceive as love (typicaly romantic). or look at it another way, the very definition of love or what she perceived as love is not love but an infatuation or a fatal attraction. dunno...... but somehow the discussion came to such level that I had to give her a very coarse example........ probably because I was not able to explain better. I said, love as you seek is like a sexual act while you are at it and marriage or commitment is like an orgasm. Once you orgasm it is not the same as the very act of copulating. Sorry, if that goes over the limit of decency. I had to draw some parellel.;) Thanks again!! I think , we all must open up once a while:O)) SNAKEY
