Meaning Behind Username

[knix20]

I always wonder what everyones username means. Some people have some interesting ones. Whats the meaning behind your username?

Mine- from ny and love the knicks and my fav player/future husband is allan houston (his jersery number was 20) hence knix20


and a friend of mine said my username looked like a boyname... but im a girl 

[Michel]

Lol I thought you was a dude from the username. 
Anyway mines I got from when I first got a computer when I was 14 back in 03 and I tried to get  a aol screen name of cool big dog but had to change it to coolbgdog.  I just alternate with numbers like 1 or sometimes I use fatboi1 in other forums.

[Source Energy]

A name bestowed upon me when I started growing my locks by some rasta friends who knew I wasn't a Rastafarian but appreciated my way of thinking and how I carried myself. In fact it is Empress Naturale but I just shortened it.  

Dem a say she's a true Empress. Blessed still.

[General Overstand]

General

From Dictionary.com: GENERAL

- the whole; the total

- of worldwide scope or applicability

- comprehending many species or individuals

- having a relation to all

From the Urban Dictionary: GENERAL

- Somebody who's in charge.

- The commissioned highest rank in most modern militaries.

I see myself as more of a Scholar Warrior though.


Overstand

I first overstood the word 'Overstand' when I read Monster: The Autobiography of an L.A. Gang Member by Sanyika Shakur in the early 90's and it's a term that has stuck w/ me ever since.

From the Urban Dictionary: OVERSTAND

- To understand a topic or statement to the highest extent.

- Overstand is a word frequently used to express a condition higher than 'understanding.' The background of using 'over' instead of under is rooted in the urban religion of the Nations of Gods and Earth b.k.a. "5 Percenters." The principle derives from what the 5% call "The Universal Balance"

- "Wisdom" may be attained by "UNDERstanding", but can only be sustained by "OVERstanding". OVER=excessive or beyond normal UNDER=below standard or less than, which brings 5% believe will us to the Divine principle of "Balance".


There are other more esoteric meanings than the ones given above but, for now, that's a brief breakdown of how I came up w/ the username.

BTW, I thought Knix20 was a male too.

[LovingLife]

As the name suggest, 'LovingLife' describes my passion for this arena, journey, and process that we call LIFE.  My personal motto and creed is "Living Life and Loving Life Every Single Day!!!"

I am brought to this understanding as a result of my life experiences, and through those experiences I have arrived at the awareness that I am a Diving Being with a Higher Life Purpose.

It has taken my entire life to arrive at this understanding and actually find myself.  Most of my life I was lost as to exactly who I am.  I am an extremely compassionate person who genuinely cares for other people.  Most of my life I have been unbalanced in these qualities.  This imbalance has caused me to prioritize other peoples needs, opinions, and agendas to the point of not being aware of my own needs, thoughts, and desires.  Simply because I loved others more than I loved myself.

The apex of this was me going through a 12 year experience of being in a coercive and abusive religious cult.  A long period of giving myself over TOTALLY to another human being who claims to be "God."  Under the mind controlling influence of this cult, I separated myself from my friends and family, gave THOUSANDS of dollars, pulled up stakes from my home city, and basically adjusted my mind, spirit, and life circumstances to make this cult the center of my Universe.  Most regretable, trying to follow the so called 'righteous' path put an incredible strain on my wife and son; subjecting them and myself to mental, emotional, psychological and spritual abuse.

Finally, after seeing and experiencing so much wrong doing, I came to my senses and left the abusive cult.  I realize now that I had to go on that journey to learn life and soul lessons necessary for my growth and evoulution.  This understanding is helping me to overcome a lot of bitterness and move past the guilt. 

Now me and my family are healing.  The friends and family that I abandonded welcomed me back with open arms, with no anger or resentment. I've got my life back, my mind back, my thoughts back.  I truly love myself and prioritize myself now.  I am able to still be compassionate for others, yet now I am able to balance that with the compassion for myself.

Why do I Love Life?  Because now I understand my higher life purpose.  I am learning more and more about my Inner Being.  The more I learn of myself, the more I see opportunities and possiblities for the future. 

I Love Life because now I have the wonderment, energy, and excitement for Life that I did when I was a child.  I Love Life because I finally understand that my reality is determined by MY thoughts, and not those of some religion, political, or cult leader. 

I Love Life because I am attracting many beautiful people into my life, like you all on the dherbs forum.  The people that I have meet and become acquianted with since the cult madness (here and elsewhere) is nothing short of mind blowing.  I never would have imagined.

I Love Life because it is the arena that allows me to blossom into my full potential.  It allows me to learn, to love, to serve, to create, and to experience well being and abundance.  Through Life I can realize my sacredness.  Through Life I can both inspire and be inspired.

I Love Life because when I relate to it properly, it allows me to know and experience freedom.

My appoligies to knix20 and everyone else for the lengthy words.  It's just that the question resonates deeply within me, given my life experiences and where I now find myself.

Peace, Love, and Blessings,

LovingLife, everyday!!!

[10 Gallon Head]

10 Gallon Head.  I have a odd shaped head as other people don't hesitate to tell me.  The name has always followed me throughout school and so on.  I am able to retain a lot of information.  But then once while just joking around a friend of mine had an empty bottle of water in a gallon jug and but it up to my head and said damn we gonna need 10 of these to match that dome on your shoulders.  I don't like the name but it has followed me.  10 Gallon Head
