Is the 989 significant in any way? Not really - whilst creating a hotmail account all those years ago - in work, when I wasnt supposed to - the sweat appearing on my brow told me to act hasty and pick something I was pretty sure was available...so I went for a high number with a palandromic vibe goin' on. Pretty dull I'm sure - but the positive thinker in me feels theres many many tales of excitement and joviality to be had with one and alls utterings...where did your name come from? (just to confirm - the name Im referring to is your SL moniker - not your name in real life. In fact fuck it - if theres an exciting tale behind that also - do tell).
Before I was "bored", now I am "lostpilot".
bored - I believe it's quite obvious what is the background to this. Yes, there were times that I was a Deftones fanboy. And I was mostly a bored de-motivated teenager.
lostpilot - I got it from The Out_Circuit song. Not because of the song itself - I really like the concept of a "pilot which is lost". It's like a paradox. And it does define me in some sense - so why not.
My name.. my grandfather wanted to call me "Paul" (English-ized version). But my mom stood up and said no - he is going to be Darius. My name's origin is Persian and it means "the keeper of the goods". I can relate to that in some sense too. And we're not talking about material goods here :)
i always wondered about the member name "deftones_161" what IS that number
I was into Gundam as a kid, wanted something easy so stuck "old" in front of "newtype". Been using the name all over the net for years now.

I write my own music...guitar and lyrics. My thinking was guitar strings vibrate at different frequencies. Chemist being a form of scientist perform experiments. When I write music I don't approach it with any rules. I just play what sounds and feels good to me.

Thanks man
This could be the start of something beautiful...
I created my moniker a few years back, specifically to create an e-mail account with which to keep in touch with a good friend of mine who moved to the total opposite of the country. We are both writers and artists and collaborate on many projects, so phone and e-mail is our main way of doing that. Since i created the account mainly for that purpose, i decided to choose a name that he would recognize easily, some kind of inside joke.
The name Bodywars9000 comes from the name of a themed ride in Epcot Center in Florida. The ride (just titled "Bodywars"), was one where you sat in a chair, in a sort of theater. A screen played a movie about scientists that shrunk a ship down, with themselves inside of it, to travel inside the human body via the bloodstream to fight off diseases or bacteria, or something like that. I know there were other movies and shows that used this same premise, but this was just a ten minute short made specifically for this "ride". I was about 9 years old when i experienced this "ride".
Now for the interesting bit, the meaning behind the "inside joke", although it's not much of a joke at all. The good friend of mine, let's call him "Ed", went to Epcot Center when he was around the same age (nine) as well.He and i are the same age, give or take a few months. However, keep in mind that we did not meet and become friends until we were 15 years old. That bit is important. As a child, my parents relationship was rocky, mostly having to do with my fathers alchoholism, which ultimately led to their divorce. As a child, "Ed" had a similar tumultuous relationship present is his parents as well. So here's the thing:
When I was at Epcot Center with my parents at age 9, my father got drunk as hell in "Ireland". For those of you that don't know, a large portion of Epcot Center is set up as to mimic different countries, there is a China section, Egypt, etc. My father got so drunk in Ireland that he passed out on a bench in Italy next to the leaning tower. My mother took me away from him to a science themed section of the park. She suggested we go on this ride, Bodywars, to which i strongly protested. Number one i was most likely pretty upset, not in the mood for rides, and number two, i really hated the idea of going "inside" the body. She demanded and essentially forced me to go on the ride. I must say it was extremely traumatic for me. To this day anything that makes me think about the internal workings of my body makes my anxious and panicky, it's fairly extreme. After the ride my father found us and my parents had a huge argument, my father saying to my mother that she was "brainwashing" me against him, etc. He was extremely angry that we had left him and went to the science section. I couldn't take anymore of this, this was supposed to be my birthday present by the way. I had heard and seen them argue before,my father drunk out of his mind and all that, but my young mind reached some kind of breaking point, covering my ears didn't work anymore. We happened to be in an area that was a large pier, high over water, with rocks at the bottom with shallow water covering them. About 50 feet over the water, i climbed up the railing, intent on jumping into the water, a means to escape these feelings. My parents were arguing so intently they didn't even notice. The exact moment i attempted to jump off the railing, someone caught me at the critical moment, it was some stranger, my parents never even noticed.
When "Ed" was nine years old, his parents took him to Epcot Center for his birthday. His parents were very argumentitive in general, and very verbally violent as well. He and his parents came to a science themed section of the park. His mother suggested that they go on this ride, Bodywars. Ed protested. She continued to pressure him into going on the ride, which provoked his father to become inceasingly angry. He argued that if Ed didn't want to go on the ride, he didn't have to. The argument got out of control, and while his parents were distracted arguing, Ed fled the scene, ending up somewhere in China. He had been "lost" for about an hour, when a security guard in a "golf-cart" type vehicle found him, and took him to the main office. When he arrived, his father was there, but not his mother. As they left, his father told him that his mother had left to go to the airport, she was catching the first flight back home. She blamed his father for the argument leading to Ed's dissapearence, and now, Ed's father told him "It's your fault your mother left". They went back to the hotel, and Ed's father left him alone in the suite as he went down to the lobby to pay the bill and check out. While his father was gone, Ed got one of his father's belts. and attempted to hang himself from the shower rod in the bathroom. Fortunately before he could suffocate, the shower rod gave way and clattered into the tub with him in a heap, just as his father entered the bathroom. His afther, not understanding the situation, asked angrily "What the hell are you doing?!". Ed replied that he was playing. "Stop fucking around" his father said, and left the room. He never realized what had almost happened. They left Florida that night.
The point is this: I met and became friends with Ed many years later, and we became friends instantaneously, we shared an attitude, hobbies and tastes so similar that i can honestly say it's a bit like a brother from another mother, or a soulmate kind of thing. Kindred spirits. It wasn't until a few years ago, now in our 20's, that we had some conversation that led to the incredible discovery that we shared this very similar, specific event. We both were taken to Epcot Center for our 9th birthdays, and attempted to kill ourselves, our parents both partly responsibe, and remaining totally oblivious. Meeting each other 6 years later. A common theme was this Bodywars ride. Hence the name. The "9000" has no meaning, i just needed a number and thought it sounded funny, in a futuristic type of way. When i created my sharinglungs account i used the same moniker, just because it's familiar. Pretty crazy...
How does a 9 year old know how to hang himself from a shower rod? I'm not trying to doubt you man but that seem's a bit flawed :S
Haha, pretty funny man. If i wanted to make shit up, i would've come up with a more interesting set of stories, it is as it is, the honest truth.
How does a 9 year old know "how" to hang himself from a shower rod? Having seen something similar in a movie, perhaps. It's not that difficult of a concept to grasp, even as a child. You'd need something rope-like (a belt will suffice), and something to hang it from. The point had to do with the attempt, the mindset of the person in question. For that matter, child suicide may be rare in the scope of things, but does occur. My friend was not the only 9 year old that ever tried to hang himself, and some succeeded.
I don't really care what you think, as i don't even know you, but felt compelled to reply as frankly, what you said was pretty insulting. I was relating a personal story. I also have absolutely zero doubt on the validity of my friend's story. We are quite close, and i know him about as well as i know myself.
Makes me wonder where your intelligence level was at when you were that age...had you figured out how to use the potty yet? Or maybe that's too advanced for a nine year old too. BTW nice move casting aspersions and attempting to relinquish responsibility in the same sentence. That kind of passive aggressive shit infuriates me. I guess i shouldn't be surprised considering it was coming from someone named after a Power Ranger. Go Mighty Morphin Phuck Yourself. :S

XD Chill man, I honestly did not mean any disrespect. don't go and be an asshole cuz I speculated. I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds it a bit hard to believe a 9 year old tried to hang himself, probably because it's not something one tends to think of, but yeah I guess it happened then... :P
It's whatever. My response was reactionary, like a reflex. I was insulted and went a bit overboard.
all cool?
^^ Oh shut up and stand your ground. Just because he insisted, aggressively, that his fake story was true, doesn't make it so. Your instincts were correct. Now your going to let an idiot that made up a lame story to get sympathy from strangers, coerce you into apologizing? Really?

Oh here comes Variable to the rescue!!! Ah, alas, it was only a matter of time.
I don't care if you choose not to believe my explanation, nor am i trying to garner some sort of sympathy. It's not even that sympathetic of a story, it's fairly ugly, but nonetheless quite true. Matter of fact the only reason i included all of those details that one might see as a quest for said sympathy, were just for context. Sure, i could've just wrote "Bodywars is a ride, my friend and i have a shared experience with", or maybe even a little more detail than that, but that would take away from the dramatic effect. My motivation to lie is nil. I just saw this topic, and decided to tell the story behind my name, the end.
By the way, ooh look everyone, the "Army Man" called me a pussy!!!
What's the story behind your name, you epically sad troll. "Variable"?
The only thing that seems to "vary" with you is who you're picking a sad troll fight or taking some quasi-intellectual, egotistically heroic stance with.
You should change your name to "Predictable".
I usually would leave well enough alone, but i've read just about enough of your high-horsing bullshit.
For the sake of argument, let's just say that you're not actually in the service, whatever branch you claim to be in, i really don't give a goddamn. What's the matter, not seeing enough action on the front lines, you have to manufacture verbal warfare wherever you go? Who the fuck do you think you are?
Calm down G.I. Joe, save your vigor and for someone else. I feel bad for your relatives and friends, if you have any, if this is how you carry yourself in real life as well. You're an obnoxious prick, and a bullying troll.
If you wish to enter a war of words, go ahead and launch some more nonsense my way. You want a battle of wits you'll get it, but assuredly lose.
Go ahead man, i'm offering satisfaction, you seem to always be looking to start a fight. Kudos, you've succeeded! Con-grat-u-fucking-lations!!!
ASS CLOWN.
[ disclaimer: I actually have nothing but the utmost respect for our men and women in service, i just can't stand THIS guy in particular. Sorry if any of this was offensive to anyone other than Variable. ]
I think you have to be aware of that the more you write,bigger chances that many will think lots of different things about what you say.sometimes positive things, sometimes negative things - and you should be able to understand both.it's just reactions. not everyone will stand up and clap their hands.
I can understand billy, you say that you are a writer,these persons tend to be pretty close and on the border to fantasy land when they sit down and write :) i'm not knocking the story, just saying
I'm just surprised anyone actually read your novel. You could have easily shortened it with, "body wars is when i take my weiner and slap my friend with it while he does the same thing to me. WAR!"
that was in chapter 9 right?
That is pretty insane. My husband and I share a memory of being in the same place as children and having met, but we haven't been able to conclusively decide if it's "true". It was a swimming park type thing and he remembers hanging out and talking with a girl that looked just as I did in childhood pictures and vice versa. My husband likes anything with a vagina, so it's kinda hard to narrow it down. But, we did both go to the same place with our families as children (even though we lived about two hours from each other) and remembered some pretty specific attributes about meeting each other that would fit the "story". But, neither of us can remember enough to verify it 100%. Just some gut feelings and some shared experiences that seem to mesh.
Your story gives me the chills, I'm glad you posted it.

Really? Thats how you follow up your "for the sake of argument?" That doesn't make sense. Kind of like your story
But if you weren't an idiot you would know that we don't have any front lines. Korea was probably about the last war that we fought that actually had lines. So, no, I don't suppose that I am getting enough action on the front lines.
And I'm not manufacturing verbal warfare. I can just simply tell when something is bull shit. The whole time I was reading your story, my bull shit meter was pinging off the charts.

lol, I was actually thinking about using that as a campaign slogan when I run for President
*sigh*
Someone who obviously does not know the correct usage of "your" and "you're" wants to criticize my grammer? Of course.
My rant was not to prove that i don't care. If you couldn't tell, the point of it was that i think you're an asshole, plain and simple, i do not like you.
You will continue to prove yourself as a jerk, with or without my involvement. BTW i'm aware there are no definitive lines in this/these "wars". I guess at this point, i kind of think of anyone that is seeing combat time as "on the front lines", it's more of a figure of speech.
From_musings, i do understand what you mean. Also, i'm fine with that, although i may have snapped at Billy. I was insulted, on initial reaction, that's all. Mainly he pissed me off by doubting the story then saying he wasn't at the same time, i can't stand that. Everyone's entitled to their opinion. If poofing, you, and whoever else wants to make jokes about it, that's fine with me. I get it.
This Variable guy....i just dislike him intensely. It seems like not a week goes by without him calling people retards and pussies, or whatever other insults his limited vocabulary has to offer.

this one made me lulz. he didn't misuse the word once.
I was mistaken about that, for sure. He in fact did not misuse the word. Whoops.
However, he remains an insufferable troll. Of that much i am certain.
I've come to like Trey. He might be a giant asshole, but he proves a point. Believe me, he takes some getting used to but you'll eventually warm up to him.

And you remain an idiot.
I'm actually not a troll. I get along with plenty of people around here. People who just have a hard time admitting that they're idiots call me a troll because I don't mind pointing out to them, that they're idiots.
Look, beyond all the name calling and you being illiterate and shit. Here's why I responded the way I did to your initial post.
1. You attacked billy when his intuitions about your post being fake or exaggerated were obviously correct. It annoyed me that he is such a push over that he would rather tell you that you were right rather than attempt to read the gibberish you were retorting with.
2. The fact that you said that bull shit about "oh woh is me. To this day I still can't look at images of the inside of my body. Oh it's so hard to be me wah wah wah, oh it's so extreme" Just further proves that your either lying or looking for sympathy. That is a completely useless part of your story unless you're trying to gain sympathy from your readers.
Heres what I do know. If you really are afraid of the human body because of some ride that you went on when you were 9, then someone really does need to be honest with you, tell you that's ridiculous, and tell you to get over it. The last thing that you need is for people to nurture that kind of behavior and allude that it is in some way acceptable.
Also, I know one or two people who have lived through some pretty traumatic events, as you might be able to imagine. Now, I know some guys who ACTUALLY went through some really traumatic events, and some guys that like to pretend like they actually went through some pretty traumatic events.
It's strange. The guys who actually did live through really traumatic and devastating events, don't usually talk about it at all. Not even to their wives or fathers.
The guys who pretend that they went through some shit, but in reality didn't, LOVE to talk about all the crazy shit that they didn't actually live through. I guess it's a way for them to get sympathy or feel cool and important or like they deserve respect or something. Who gives a shit? They are pieces of shit.
Now, obviously, sometimes even guys who went through some really horrible shit do talk about it. But they usually confide in someone, or a small group, very close to them, e.g., their families or friends who lived through the same experience. They don't usually go on message boards with complete strangers and share it with the whole world. Knowing very well that anyone could pluck anything from it and make fun of them.
Moreover, these guys usually don't like to re-live those experiences. In fact, pretty much the root cause of PTSD is that they CAN'T stop re-living the experiences. So, they wouldn't usually say...put a pic of their dead friend on their kitchen wall so that they have to think about him every day when they eat breakfast. They might also not make a username that remind them of him every time they try to get on a message board and bull shit about music or anything else. You can see how that might be a little counter productive to having a good time?
Now, that kind of behavior only applies to people who have actually gone through something traumatic. You did the exact opposite. So my instincts tell me that you're full of shit or exaggerating.
Even if that entire story is true. Someone really does need to tell you that its not that bad and that you should get over it. So here I am. Maybe calling you a pussy wasn't the right approach. Lets just say that you're not acting like a man.
Oh and you really should work on your grammar. I noticed that you said you're older than 20. It's just disturbing that an adult would write like that, even on a really informal board like this.

Aw thanks. I think most people get used to me once they realize that I'm joking most of the time, then the rest of the time my abrasive comments are just honest. People should appreciate honesty more.
Well, the story does happen to be true, but all your references to PTSD mean nothing to me, in the context of my story. I understand where you're coming from with all that, but it just doesn't compare. The people that go through those terrible experiences, i sympathize with, but i can't truly comprehend it because i never went through anything like that.
The thing is, the story, to me, is positive. I don't harbor any ill feelings about my side, and my friend does not either. It just so happens that it's something that bonded an already strong friendship. It is absolutely nothing like putting a picture of some dead friend on my fridge, whatever that metaphor was that you used. The problem i have with you on this topic, is that not only were you quick to judge, but you were wrong. Not just about the validity of the story, but of my motivations behind telling it. The topic is "The story behind your name", so that's what i wrote. Hopefully someone enjoys it, you don't, that's fine.
Speaking grammatically, i use alot of run-ons, and there are other technical flaws, but i was not trying to win any awards. I just tried to relate the story as i know it, without leaving out too many details. I wrote it rather quickly and pressed post. I think it was at the very least readable, so i'm happy with it.
My intention was not too complain, you misunderstand. The part where i mentioned my anxiety definitely was not central or maybe even important, i just happened to write it. If you want to continue to believe that any of what i wrote was some type of attempt to garner sympathy, go right ahead. You will continue to be wrong. I certainly don't see the benefit in that in the first place.
Both of your reasons for why you responded to my initial post, well, they're precisely the problem.
1.-My story was "obviously not true"?
2.-The fact that i mentioned my anxiety over my body's internal functions "futher PROVES that i was looking for sympathy"?
Wrong on both counts man. I can't prove it to you, so they are understandable doubts, but god you are a real asshole about it. Beyond that, i've noticed you all over this board acting like an asshole. I've also seen you make good points, and be civil at times, but predominantly, you behave like an asshole. Yes i just used the word "asshole" three times. Of all the words in the english language, i can't think of one that suits you more accurately.
I guess i don't fit into your definition of what a man acts like. Let me tell you how upsetting THAT is. Wah. I guess i should drink some brewskis, bury my emotions, and watch Fast and the Furious. Maybe start a fist fight in a bar.
You not being able to look at images of the human body without getting anxiety is PTSD. PTSD is not in any way restricted to combat.
and I still don't think your story is completely true. I think it's exaggerated.
and yes, you adding a part to the story which is irrelevant to the actual story, but would make some feel sympathetic to you, would indicate that you were looking for sympathy.
And I'm not an ass hole. I'm just a really confident dick.
I hate Fast and the Furious btw. You can't put me in a box, so don't try. A "man" can be presented in many different ways. I'm just saying that you, being afraid of the human body because you were forced to go on an epcot ride when you were 9, are not acting like one.
anyways. This conversation really has hit a brick wall. Soooooooo lets be done k? I hate to take up too much of a thread with nonsense. It drives the squares crazy.
If you don't know who the Corleone name is, then you've got some movie watching to do.
Yeah thats actually a pretty good point
I was looking for a new and interesting screen name back when KaZaa was all the rage. I asked my brother for suggestions. He said "chick de la". I later added the "Lynch" part due to my utter love and devotion for David Lynch. Name has stuck to me like white on rice since.
I can proudly say that I never used KaZaa.

OH YEAH, INXS!!!
I used to be soo in love with Michael! *swoons*
the team that is making the documentary about michael spoke at my uni in 2009. they were super funny and secretive about the whole film.
Hey good job bitching out of the argument.....just kidding. Look man, i'm all about burying the hatchet too. The one thing i will say is that i did not choose to have anxiety, and have overcome a great deal of it. It's mostly subsided. I find it very rude and inaccurate of you to attempt to connect someone's unwilling psychological condition to their level of "manliness". I have more replies to the new comments you made, and i still think you're basically an asshole, but i digress. Confident dick is somewhat fitting, though i'd prefer "over-confident dick". However i suppose if we can agree on at least one thing, i'm happy that it can be that this has gone on long enough. I just feel you shouldn't be so quick to judge and label, but that's only my opinion. You have your opinions as well. I was just insulted since i know the story to be accurate. Any bashing you want to do against me personally wouldn't really phase me under normal conditions, but alot of my anger was directed toward your blind doubt, and your smug sureness of what is only your opinion. After that shit snowballs. I don't fit into a box either, especially one labeled liar. For the record i regard exaggeration as being the same as lying.

I've come to like Trey. He might be a giant asshole, but he proves a point. Believe me, he takes some getting used to but you'll eventually warm up to him.
I don't hold grudges, it's all good. I've read posts where i've agreed with his opinions, or others where he did make some good points using flat facts. Though he is definitely a rabble rouser in my opinion, and it gets annoying after seeing like the millionth argument he's in at any given time, i don't think it's a coincidence, and I don't think anyone enjoys being directly attacked. Lastly I find it diificult to warm up to someone that seems to have the heart of an ice cube.
I won't apologize to him, but i am sorry for anyone else that had to read all that crap, his and mine. Unless they enjoyed it in which case, you're welcome. :)
Anyways other than all that b.s. i like this thread. What's the meaning behind your name? Just kidding lol
I honestly can't remember at all why I chose this name. I'm almost positive that it had nothing to do with its actual mathematical meaning though. I picked this name back on the old official deftones board but didn't really ever use it because everyone knew me under a different name. Then I just used this name when I registered here.
Ironically though, one of my favorite things to say when I'm giving classes on how to prepare for missions is " control the variables that you can control" it makes me smirk a little bit.

Yup
Trey is an educated arrogant dick.
That does not change the fact that he fascinates me with his strength and motivation as a person and that I do love him in a creepy internet way.

Haha, same here! I'm surprised I never got sued for piracy.
I joined this place around the time that the cover art of self-titled was released. It had a skull on the cover. It was Deftones. Deftones + Skull = Defskull. It's pretty stupid now and I'm pretty sure I thought it was pretty stupid then. But it's my moniker in a lot of different places so...hooray!
