When life moves a thousand miles an hour some times you find yourself looking up and realize that 15 years passed before your eyes. My daughter graduated from High School yesterday and I admit I was teary eyed the whole day. When she leaves for college, I just can’t imagine a day without seeing her eating breakfast. Yeah, most days I bug and embarrass her. But those times when she looked me in the eye and asked my opinion on things are days I will always cherish. I realize there will be more of those days ahead but it won’t be every day from this point forward. I actively participate in her life and was always right there. I did work long hours but I was there when she woke up and was always there to say I love you and Goodnight. I refused to miss those moments. But as she moves away there will be less of those moments and I don’t want that to happen. I have to accept it but it doesn’t make it easier. You don’t have to have children to know what it feels like. That someone can be in a different room, never speak a word to each other all night, but the mere presence of that person makes you feel better and more comfortable. Without them you aren’t the same.
Domain investing and blogging played a big part in all of this in that it provided the income to do things that I would have never done without the side hustle money. We bought some stupid stuff and had some stupid fun that we never would have spent money on otherwise. It also showed her that there are a million ways to make money because of the Internet. It showed her a room where every door and window is open and she merely has to choose a path. All take time, effort, and consistency. And that time certainly flew by. I looked up yesterday and realized I have a grown woman for a daughter. One that no longer needs me but I’m glad she wants me. Here are today’s domains. Click to see the latest price
Quote of the Day: “Another day, another sunrise”
Domain of the Day: MaxToken.com One of my favorite token names this year
Namejet and Sedo Names at Auction
Chainsaws.com One of the best selling tools in the US. I’m sure Stihl would love to own his as a marketing name. 21 years old and now up to $6K and climbing
JobPic.com Was an old YCombinator name with some decent backlinks
BadPublicity.com I thought there was no such thing
DeepSun.com Nice solar name
MedicalFarmer.com I see this as a cannabis grower name
Hilo.org One of the two big cities on The Big Island of Hawaii
Godaddy Domains That I Like With Multiple Bids
CyprusAir.com Was a real airline. So you can own a former airline. Or at least their name
SmokersClub.com 1996 name with lots of backlinks.
HotCafe.com At $300 at press time. Upgrade name for a few places
Siteok.com The only thing I see here is a website that lets you see what your website looks like in all the browsers and other site health checks. But I guess that’s good enough
Blippr.com In 2007 tons of sites used the “drop the vowel” at the end domains. 11 years later they still sell pretty well. As Brandbucket
Brokn.com Let’s try another one
ColorLabs.com I figured this one would be popular. Old photo startup that folded
bClear.com A lot of good uses of this one. Zits, speeding tickets, eyeglass cleaner
eSki.com Godaddy gives this a big value. And they are actually pretty right this time
FindCannabis.com Obvious use on this one. Generic for Leafly
UpWing.com Don’t buy it just hoping Upwing Energy wants it. But they probably do
Godaddy Names With One or NO Bids
UrbanReserve.com Sounds like a good whisky or a place for a high interest rate payday loan
Dicat.com No bids on this 5L.com. 2001 birthday
Rainquest.com Company that seeds clouds? I know, that’s pushing it. No bids
SpeedSquare.com Nobody uses these anymore unless you’re in carpentry but most know what it is
SwingForce.com sounds like a startup. No bids
CutTheSugar.com we all probably should
RidingTheTiger.com Love this as a blog name
SameDayFunds.com Instant money has always paid well

Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. We Charge $10 per name per day. We may be able to help. If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details.*All names chosen by us, Shane and Josh . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything we say is based on our own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or our opinion is correct. We hand choose the names but we are paid to make this list by both the auction houses, individuals that are auctioning names, and Godaddy affiliate links. Keep that in mind and only buy names that YOU think are good
Congrats and well put.
Nicely put Shane, I know exactly where you’re coming from.
Wishing your daughter much success in her college years.
Very touching…
Great Article Shane! As a father of three daughters, I have felt your pain. It’s painful, but it will get better. As she experiences life on her own, she’ll rely on you more and more, just in different ways. Sounds like you’ve raised a great daughter! Best of luck to her!
Thanks all. I have her watering at the nursery today so I’m getting the most out of her before she goes 🙂
You see Regent Spark, I see Regent’s Park. Either way the price is on the up.
Congrats Shane to your daughter and your family- it is quite an accomplishment. Enjoy the summer pre-college!
Cheers,
Mike
