When I sat down to start this blog, I had one name and one name only in mind for it.
wanderingmind.com
That was the name, Wandering Mind, of the humour column I wrote every week in the last newspaper I worked at.
But wanderingmind.com was taken. Its registration ends in 2017 but the owner would probably renew it. I could have contacted the owner and asked to buy it but implied in the word “buy” is the word money and I don’t have any. I tried mywanderingmind.com. Taken.
Aaargh!!!!
I tried a few others. Most of them taken. Here are a few I came up with:
mybusykeyboard.com
thoughtsforsale.com
wanderingkeyboard.com
thewanderingkeyboard.com
storygallory.com
untidymind.com
thestorymaker.com
storiesoutofschool.com
storycooker.com
storiestosmileby.com
I gave up and went to bed. The next day, lifesentences.com popped into my head. But it had a justice system ring to it. Criminals would be going to my site to figure out how they could get out early.
I like the word “sentences” and given that these sentences would be about my lifetime here on earth, I thought I would put the two words together. I ran the concept past each member of my family. It was the first one (after wanderingmind.com) that they all liked and liked a lot.
So I did a registration check on lifetimesentences.com.
It isn’t available.
I own it now.
