A day can be as busy as we make it.

From the moment we wake up, until the time we turn our brain into ‘sleep mode’, the interaction with events, obligations, projects and other such business functions is a continuum that we rarely dare interrupt.

During prolonged periods of time when we need to rest, take vacation, enjoy a trip or simply unwind away from these daily functions, certain things are bound to happen.

You know it.

Step away from your daily schedule and you will forget about the time you planned to make that phonecall. Take a longer nap and the closing time to enter a domain auction will be gone by the time you wake up. Take a vacation, have a holiday, drive to the store at a time you planned to watch that domain drop – and it will drop and be caught, just not by you.

There is no such thing as a holiday in the Domain Business.

Even on a Sunday, things happen, around the clock and you can’t be missing out. Even on Easter Sunday, Frank Schilling will be watching the clock before the auction ends, to beat those of you who thought it’d be luxurious to have an extra beer with your Easter meal.

And that’s exactly how you lose great deals, you miss opportunities or you fail to succeed. The Domain Business is open 24 hours a day and it requires a lot of effort and discipline.

That, and a good alarm clock.

I admit it, I am a Star Trek fan. I discovered the series in the late 70′s, long after Space 1999 and right after the success of Star Wars. I’d rush home from school and I’d turn on the TV to watch – in glorious black and white – the adventures of Starship Enterprise and its brave crew.

What set Star Trek apart from the other sci-fi shows, was the depth of its characters. Each and every member of the Enterprise’s multi-cultural crew, which included men and women, humans and aliens, black, white and Asian – maintained their own important role in every episode.

There would be no complete show without captain Kirk’s boldness and tongue-in-cheek humor, Spock’s ultra-logical genius, the seriousness of Dr. Leonard “Bones” or the agonizing dedication of Uhura, Sulu and Scotty. And at a time that the Cold War was at its peak between the US and USSR, Chekov served as a hint to the TV viewers that the Russians might not be evil after all.

Without further ado, “Friday Funnies” brings you Star Trek – the Domainers’ version. Click on the image to view at full size.

Live long, and register.

Things get too serious sometimes. In order to instill some fun into the serious business of domains, I’m starting the “Friday Funnies” section.

Each Friday, a cartoonized photo will attempt to deliver some humor without – hopefully – hurting the feelings of those it depicts.

Today’s “Friday Funny” is about social media “wars” and two well-known personalities, Frank Schilling and Rick Schwartz.
