Getting kicks in the nuts



This is the first time I’ve publicly shared this.

Nine months after Labor Day 2004—what I personally consider my rebirth—I became a eunuch.

Fast-forward to Christmas 2016.

My dad, Donal (without the second “d”), received a 45.8-pound brick of lead. Looking at it sparked an idea in my mind. It reminded me of the concept behind Citizens United v. FEC—that money functions like speech. My own thought became even simpler:

What if money is another form of light?

I couldn’t prove it.

So I built an experiment.

That experiment became TrumpDomains.net.

The goal was never to get rich. It was to attract goodness—and eventually prosperity—by giving away more than 100 Trump-related domain names to people who wanted to publish their own ideas. If sunlight is the best disinfectant, I wanted to help more people shine it.

I never charged for a domain.

I never made a penny.

The project is now dead.

Then came Thanksgiving 2018.

I woke up with phantom testicular pain.

Being a eunuch, that was… confusing.

By dinner, I checked my email and found someone requesting TrumpHasNoBalls.org.

I was ecstatic.

After two years, someone finally wanted one.

I replied, “It’s Thanksgiving. Let’s finish the transfer tomorrow.”

About ten minutes later, he wrote back.

“Never mind. I found another domain.”

And then I started laughing.

The universe had finally explained the phantom pain.

That guy had just metaphorically kicked me in the nuts.

The project never attracted the money I thought it might.

But it did reinforce something I still think about today.

Maybe my idea wasn’t completely wrong.

Or maybe God just has an outstanding sense of humor.

Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned…

Life can still kick you in the nuts—

even after you’ve gotten rid of them.
