Back at the turn of the century when I decided it might be a good idea to have my own website — just in case I ever wanted to try and make a career out of this whole music thing — I tried to purchase AJRoach.com. Much to my disappointment, it was already taken. Some dude in Australia has it. I tried to buy it from him all those years ago, but he wanted a ridiculous sum for it. I offered to pay him what he paid for it and to buy him any other domain name that he wanted, but he wouldn’t budge. He wanted cash for it and judging from the figure he was asking for, I don’t think he really wanted to sell the domain anyway. So I had to settle for www.RoachMusic.com. Not being able to get my own name dot com is probably the reason that I’m not a Lady-Gaga-level star. Yep. That’s definitely what it is. If I had my name dot com, then all the industry types that I’m certain have been searching the web desperately for me would have found me easily and we could’ve “inked a big deal” (back when people used to do that sort of thing still). Instead here we are at AJRoach.net. By the way, feel free to click through to AJRoach.com. It’s been under construction for years. He really should just sell me the domain (at a fair price). Maybe I’ll write to him again.
