ATS Names

I actually gave myself this name, I was watching a college football game on tv and I just said, "Gimme football!" You can probably well what NFL team I pull for. (HINT:Look at the avatar.)

Mine was intentionally misleading. That's the reason I picked it.

I chose my name, "benevolent tyrant" because of the fact that almost every time there is a despot, a dictator, a sole individual who is a leader, he is a tyrant. Why, I would wonder, would someone want such absolute power only to have his own people hate him. Why wouldn't someone who found himself in that position actually be good -- benevolent?

Fidel Castro, ironically enough, seems to be the only dictator in modern times who actually fits the bill but, of course, he does fall short of the mark. But I always wonder why absolute power would corrupt an individual to the point where he would stop being benevolent. I have always asked myself why someone could not be so good to his people that he would be loved, admired and hailed as the great leader -- and not just because he was demanding this from his people.

In true conspiracy theorist fashion, I didn't want to use the name I blog under... I had to come up with a name I'd never used anywhere else. It occurred to me that I read ATS to keep my mind busy; you know, give myself something new to think about. Thus: BusyMind

It's an homage to this man, the original Dr. Love:

I've tried to emulate his way with the ladies, but my tongue is not that long.

Peace

I had the best name ever all ready to go. I mean, a unique name that everyone would have immediately been envious of. It was perfect.

Then I submitted the thingie to register and didn't fill it out all the way. I believe I left off the "why do you want to join?" part. So I got an email back telling me my application had been rejected, but I could try again in 30 days.

Of course, it had taken me months to decide to register and I wasn't about to wait 30 more days so I submitted another request, properly completed. On a whim, I selected "yeahright" since that's a phrase I've been known to use frequently, and many of my other frequently used phrases would not be "appropriate". Figured I could change it later. Well, no you can't. So there you go.
:bnghd:

Some time ago I was making up names for my party members in the game Baldur's Gate II. This is where I originally came up with the name Umbrax.

It may sound terrible but I really love my name .
I took the Latin word for shadow, umbra, and just tosses an 'x' on the end to make it sound better.
Umbra is a little more than just a shadow.
In English Umbra is the darkest part of the shadow.


The dark central region of a sunspot is also called the umbra.


"Top Secret Umbra" is the codeword for the most sensitive category of communications intelligence.

I also just found out recently that the RPG World of Darkness the word umbra is used for the spirit world, the afterlife, and the astral plane.

well after lurking for sometime, there was a lot i didnt know. I wanted the truth about aircraft, and somewhat on area 51 and such. But I wanted a ghetto twist. So truttseeker was made. I mean, come on that just sounds so aweosme "trutt". just makes you want to go out and hit things with a baseball bat

Mine is open to speculation!

Well it's not but you can probably guess anyway..............
