the name shattered sanity just comes from the fact I am tired of life and all it's problems, and that I don't even feel normal anymore (if I ever did)

i was going to use my name, I was going to be emily83, but at the time I was using it on a forum and I didn't want to be recognized here

[eskielover]

eskielover comes from the fact that I used to breed & show American Eskimo dogs since 1995. Now I just have the last 3 of my babies & they are the best company I could EVER have. The American Eskimo dog otherwise known as "the Eskie" used to be known as the Spitz before being recognized by the AKC, UKC & International kennel club.

Needless to say I love this breed. They are very loving yet very independent. It took me 3 years to get the obedience title on my first eskie. He knew how to do everything, there were just some showing days when he just didn't want to do it & would mess up something different every time as it took 3 passing scores at different shows to get the title & he loved to do only certain obstacles on the agility course & would go back & do the obstical over again no matter how much urging on to the next obstical I did. I loved him because of his independent thinking. The 3 I have left are all eskies I bred & the bonding is amazing.

Needless to say, I love this breed so thus..........eskielover

This is a picture of the breed though not a picture of one of my babies. I can't figure how to get the photos off my phone & onto here. Like a typical mom, my phone is filled with photos of my eskies

[Apokolips]

Honestly I've been using this handle for the better part of 15 years all over the web and I cannot for the life of me remember why.

Baker is for my favorite race car driver (he passed away last year) But he is and will always be my favorite. The #88 was his number when he had his own team

[AbsurdBlackBear]

Absurd has a double meaning for my username. It means foolish person in one sense. In another sense it comes from philosophy where the Absurd is the concept of their seeming to not be any inherent meaning to the universe. I believe however that you can find meaning in the universe, for me personally it is through God, but you can't communicate that sense of meaningingfulness to other people in the same way that you can transmit words to others. You can't make someone see the meaning in the world, their minds must be opened up to it.

American black bears are known to be a timid be species of bear and I am a timid person with anxiety disorders.

Mine is because I see myself as being too damaged to ever be accepted by the "light" so I regard darkness as my one true ally, friend, and lover, metaphorically speaking of course.

[LifeInProgress]

Nothing too philosophically deep in mine. I am an artist so frequently use th eterm "work in progress" to describe pieces that aren't finished yet. My life isn't finished yet, so "life in progress".

[Steiner of Thule]

Two different things.

Steiner comes from one of my favorite animes, Steins;Gate. Thule comes from an older video game where one of the deitys/religions was Cazic Thule who as a deity was the god of the plane of fear. So I felt at the time that since I was totally controlled by my anxieties that it was suitable.

I'm a little better now but at times it comes lurking.

I also thought it sounded cool too.

Just my name

[ThisIsTheEnd]
