Default Confessions of a Domain Junkie

Okay I admit that if I had spent as much time on something productive as I have searching domain names, I probably could have discovered a cure for some serious disease. Well that may be an exaggeration but i'm just trying to make a point.
Now I know I am not the only out there that does this. I'm sure thousands share the same affliction but the question is why? Why do we spend hours coming up with names and doing bulk searches at 2am when we should be sleeping soundly in our warm beds? I like to compare it to the Gold expeditions where thousands flocked to the Yukon in search of a windfall. These cold and tired miners would spend weeks even months sifting and panning the rivers for their Sex.com. Even though our chances of uncovering a valuable new unregistered domain is slim to none. We hope that our little nugget of rock will turn into a nugget of gold in the not so distant future. As I've said I have had some monetary success selling domains but when I think about the time I've put into it I'd say I'm about even. But I will continue to pan the rivers because the hunt is just as fun as the discovery.

I assume there could be more opportunities for domain names as new words are brought into the vocabulary.

For example, just a few years ago email, spam and blog didn't have the meanings they have now.
