Google and the Path to Enlightenment

[boskie]

Ok, i know this is a really pointless thread, but its late at work (4.20am to be precise) and i'm having to digitise 25hrs of reality tv rushes for an edit on monday. Indulge me.

After about 10hrs of this and countless mindless google searches i decide to look up my nickname BOSKIE.
What I found:

Loads of polish links, which was of no surprise;
Tons of stuff about a baseball player named Shawn Boskie
This (http://www.geocities.com/aileenmaguire/Boskie.html):D
this freaked the crappola outta me...
www.kabalarians.com/male/boskie.htm (http://www.kabalarians.com/male/boskie.htm)

But then i found this (http://www.poltran.com/pl.php4), converted my name from polish to english; and it all became clear:cool:


This is scarily like me yet it was a name given to me as a prank when i was about 6 years old!

Am I alone, or are there any others out there with nicknames which lead to enlightenment:cool: :D :cool:

EDIT: I'm still going:

;)http://folding.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/userpage?name=Boskie and i can now say in truth that only good will come of this...
A wrestler in W. Virginia (http://www.angelfire.com/wv2/wrestlersofwv/results.html) - check Nov 19th;)
And of course (http://www.echinatex.com:8080/e-version/market/showinfo.asp?id=243) a type of silk in china

Edit: thanks scem0, i might be everywhere at once, but my typing is damn* right atrocious - and i've been up for about 30hrs

*it's ok, i'll allow it this once

[Perci Mac]

Boskie = God. That's a nickname that would be hard to live up to.;)

[scem0]

some of your links don't work, and you need to add the list tags
at the place you edited. :)

[shadowfax]

you should come and settle all our problems, once and for all.

My Me! This website (http://www.kabalarians.com) is awesome (for someone with little or no sleep)

Ironside (http://www.kabalarians.com/male/ironside.htm)

You are fond of sweets and rich foods and your tendency to eat heavily, causes overweight. You could be subject to skin disorders, swelling of the legs and ankles, fluid function disorders or weakness affecting the back.


Mac (http://www.kabalarians.com/male/mac.htm)

The first name of Mac creates a shrewd, aggressive, business nature, intent on personal gain. You are capable of very logical and analytical thinking along practical business lines, and could excel in financial fields, law or politics. Your judgment is seldom swayed through your feelings. You have definite executive and leadership abilities, however you are inclined to be too blunt and forceful in dealing with people. There is a need to show more tact and understanding toward others in order to moderate a rather self-centred nature. The desires for independence and financial success have been strong motivating forces from very early in your life. Sacrificing much for material ambition will result in a lack of harmony and balance in your personal life, particularly a lack of appreciation for social courtesies and things of a more inspirational nature. Your health could suffer through ailments centering in the head. Also, the generative organs could be affected.

LOL, I reckon Mr Jobs should of been called Mac!:D

[rainman::|:|]

well i don't usually even read stuff like this (and horoscopes, etc)... i know it's a generalization, but this is eerily close to me for my name too. In fact, pretty dead-on.

edit: okay, this is too creepy. i just looked up the name of a good friend of mine, and it actually matched perfectly some things she told me just today... fits her personality completely...

Paul, I Know!!!

I've tried at least 10 people family, friends, relatives, partners - past, present and future - and i've only found one that was off the mark even by a degree of doubt!

[shakespeare]

I've had the same experience with that website. The thing that gets me is that the descriptions aren't very generalised at all, some of them are quite specific, and yet still very accurate. The name of the Artistic Director of a theatre where I act, for instance, turned up a description containing the phrase 'you would be happiest helping others realise their artistic potential in a public setting'.

Very odd.

[NavyIntel007]

Yeah I would always do this with girlfriends. It's weird...

The name of Elliot gives you the desire to meet and mix socially and to create congenial circumstances for everyone. However, all too often, you express yourself in a matter-of-fact or awkward way that results in your good intentions being misunderstood. If you are in sales work, you could do well because of your friendly personality, interest in people, and desire to please. You prefer situations that allow a degree of independence, but are not too demanding in work-load or responsibility. When asked, you are able to give others good advice that you would probably not follow yourself, but must guard against being too opinionated in controversial matters. While you can appear to be confident, you need the moral support and encouragement of others who give inspiration and strength. Weaknesses in health show in the senses of the head as well as in the various fluid functions of the body.

Does this mean I'll have trouble peeing in the future?

nah prob means you'll either be a dribbler or have really bad waxy ears, however your only consolation is that i'll be joining you as Elliot = Adam as well:D

Okay here's mine:

The name of Veronica creates a happy, versatile, and expressive nature, with good business judgment and a fine sense of responsibility, which should enable you to establish congenial relationships in positions of trust where you are dealing with the public. You have a clever, quick mind, with the ability to accomplish a great deal in a short period of time, although it is not easy for you to systematize your efforts. This name could allow expression along musical and artistic lines and gives you the desire to entertain and to meet and mix with people of refinement and culture. It also brings out your love of home and family, and in close association you are able to show understanding and affection. Others are attracted by your generosity and your consideration of their interests. Although this name is well balanced, if it is combined with a surname that is not harmonious, you would tend to worry and find it difficult to organize your efforts. Also, should you over-indulge in sweet, rich foods you could experience skin or liver problems.

Your first name of Bengt has given you a quick, active mind, which has caused you to delve into many different ideas and theories. You have a desire for association with people and, since you have no difficulty in being spontaneous and expressive with others, you have considerable ability for discussion and debate. You enjoy unexpected opportunities for meeting people, or doing things on the spur of the moment. Where you have difficulty is in organizing and systematizing the handling of your responsibilities. Though you can work on any undertaking intently as long as it absorbs your interest, you cannot persevere when confronted by obstacles or by tedious monotony. Thus your success in your undertakings is limited. The tasks or activities you enjoy the most allow some form of creative or artistic expression. You will never tolerate a situation where your independence and individuality are curtailed. Conditions in your personal life can change very quickly to turmoil any time you are challenged, or when there is any friction or misunderstanding, because you can be very caustic and outspoken. There is an element of idealism in this name which makes you generous toward those who are less fortunate than yourself, and also causes you to uphold the rights of others. This name creates an over-sensitive nature that allows your emotions to be unduly aroused. You are apt to be indulgent in eating rich, quick-energy foods, which you crave because your nervous system becomes depleted of vitality. Ailments of the liver and a weak back could result.

Haven't read it yet, just cut and pasted it over here. I will go and read it now.

[wdlove]

Your name of Winston gives you a clever mind, good business judgment, a sense of responsibility, and an appreciation of the finer things of life. You are serious-minded and not inclined to make light of things even in little ways, and in your younger years you had more mature interests than others your age. Home and family mean a great deal to you and it is natural that you should desire the security of a peaceful, settled home environment where you can enjoy the companionship of family and friends. Whatever you set out to accomplish you do your very best to complete in accordance with what you consider to be right. In the home you assume your responsibilities capably, having the self-confidence to form your own opinions and make your own decisions. Others can rely on you; once you have given your word you will do your utmost to fulfil a responsibility. However, there is a tendency to be a little too independent in your thinking and it is difficult for you to accept the help of others when you should. Due to your strong sense of responsibility, you could experience worry and mental turmoil through assuming more responsibility than you should. Friction could arise through others feeling that you were interfering with their rights and privileges, even though you are only trying to help.

It always amazes me how much of the is reality!

But what's really gonna rock ya noodles is:

Have we somehow conformed to the Kabalarian Philosophy since birth - is it predetermined.

Or,

Have our parents somehow - unknowingly - been coerced into naming us thus...

Is there some greater good/evil which predetermines who/what we are?
