In the fifties I had dreams about touching a naked woman and she would turn to bronze or the dream about hot dogs chasing donuts through the Lincoln Tunnel.

A successful life is one that is lived through understanding and pursuing one's own path not chasing after the dreams of others.

It's insecurity that is always chasing you and standing in the way of your dreams.

Now that I finally have the time for it this web surfing stuff turns out to be as interesting and fun and addictive as you've all been telling me. Zipping from link to link chasing an idea across the noosphere sucking up information like a killer whale - way cool.
