For months I’ve been eyeballing the domain name “SuzyG.com”. When I first checked it’s availability, I was amazed that it was even open; but like a moron, I didn’t actually register it. I went back to godaddy.com every few weeks and checked it, finding that it was still sitting there waiting for me to register it and do something amazing with it. I dreamed about all of the great stuff I would do with it. It would be a store, a brand… I would eventually move my blog over to the shorter — and cooler — name. But still, I never actually registered it. I couldn’t bring my cheap arse to hand over the $8.99 to make it officially mine.
Tonight Jon sat looking for cool domain names for his great new idea (he gets a great new idea every few days). I said, “While you’re at it, register SuzyG.com before someone actually takes it.”
Someone registered it on December 30th. Two friggin days ago. And when you go to the page, it’s on a “parked” page, meaning no one will ever actually do anything with it.
I almost cried.
Godaddy.com gave me a helpful list of other domains I may like… but they all stunk. I mean, sure, I could register SuzyG.TV… but then I’d have to get a TV show, or at least an agent or something, and that just really sounds like a lot of work.
In my heart SuzyG was already mine; I’d dreamed — and daydreamed — about it. But it wasn’t to be.
A moment of silence please.

Aw, Suz. I’m sorry. And I can’t help but think of that song “Could’ve Been” by Tiffany. Remember that song?
“Could’ve been so beautiful, could’ve been so right, I’ll never hold what could’ve been on a cold and lonely night.”
(I’m singing it just for you.)
