Like many geeks out there I currently own a domain name, Uberfetch.com. It doesn’t work. I have a couple of dead links and some writing. It is truly pathetic. I have attempted a couple of times to get something going, but with no success. I am sad to say that I don’t even know HTML. I wish I did, but I’m way too lazy to learn any programming language. I once tried to learn C, but with no avail (I should get back to that). I have never gotten past the preliminary, “this is my website” stages. All that has ever been on Uberfetch.com are a few sentences of writing that I used to show off to my friends so they could see that I had a website. My problem is that I am lazy and that I want my website to be something.
I need my website to be something special. Just some random geek’s, nothing website, is, for some reason not good enough for me (no offense to those who do). Like thousands of people, I have this faint urge to be famous, but I don’t know why. It must be some small biologically-implanted part of my brain that aspires to fame, but I can’t help it. I want my website to have hundreds of hits a day. I want people on the Internet to want/need to go to my website. My website could be the next big thing. The only problem with that is that I do not have some epically awesome idea that will attract a swarm of people.
I have thought long and hard about what my website could possibly be. It is one of the great predicaments that I spend time worrying about, endlessly debating, forever questioning. Okay, not really, but when I am surfing the Web and I remember my site I begin to wonder, “How can I just leave it to do nothing?” At the moment, it serves no purpose. Even when these situations arise, I can never get myself to do anything with the website because I know there is nothing I can do. Yes, I guess I could put up some poop about who-knows-what (kind of like my blog), but I just can’t do it. It’s as if there is some unknown wall blocking my entrance into even trying something. It just might be the fear of not creating something worth recognition.
www.uberfetch.com is nothing. It serves no purpose. It is a waste of space on the Internet. Yes, some day it will either die out or will actually have something on it, but for now it doesn’t have anything. I really hope that it doesn’t die out and be taken over by some large corporation, or fellow geek, cool-website wannabe. I guess, when it comes down to it, that is up to me. I guess it’s the way with many things. If I want to do something with my website, I’ll just have to go and do it.
