The Meaning Behind My Avatar Design, What Is Your Avatar Supposed To Represent?

reply to post by olaru12


It's a nice color

:-)

Saw cody post this avatar in the halloween avatar contest thread and loved it. Asked if I could use it and received permission. No secret super special meaning... Just something that I think looks cool. I also like the caption for top secret reasons.

Interesting opinion. To me the Avatar in this instance applies more to an alter ego or extension of a personality. It does have other definitions applied to it that pertain to the following:

en.wikipedia.org...

In computing, an avatar (usually translated from Sanskrit as incarnation) is the graphical representation of the user or the user's alter ego or character.

dictionary.reference.com...

noun 1. Hindu Mythology . the descent of a deity to the earth in an incarnate form or some manifest shape; the incarnation of a god.

Of course you are entitled to give your own definition. Thanks for stopping by.

Never watched that movie, the previews were creepy. I don't do creepy and weird movies. Cool avatar though and thanks for sharing.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Who guards the guards?

That's where it comes from. It basically expresses the conundrum that you can never create a law without putting someone above it. How else is the law to be upheld?

I'm Batman.

Well Superman was always one of my favorites, along with Batman, Spiderman and the Hulk. I hated this scene in the movie because I was forced to see a side of him that I didn't like. Thanks for sharing though.

When I revealed that I had finally seen it, the reactions from my lose friends were, "WHAAAA? You only just NOW watched it? What took ya so long?"

Because they know I'm a junkie for idealist stories. And V for Vendetta is absolutely idealist. It's revolutionary, it's transcendent, it's inspirational, and it's utterly inflammatory. I highly recommend it.

...Oh, and if you don't do creepy and weird, then my deepest condolences for your having been born a member of the human species. Life must be absolutely hell for you.

Never been much of a heavy metal lover, most of the lyrics I hear I don't understand. Might have something to do with my hearing deficiency. Then again it might also have to do with the generally violent nature. I prefer easy listening songs with sweet melodies and words I can relate too. Party On Dude and thanks for sharing.

Free is good, hate to think you paid for it. Keep telling yourself that about how it makes you look, you will eventually believe it....I know I feel completely capable of trusting you, NOT! Just kidding. Thanks for stopping by.

I love your avatar. I actually used to spend hours when I was in college taking pictures of trees in B & W. I just always loved the energy and soul. I even want to do a coffee table book about trees someday. Thanks for sharing.

My avatar is the great Harry Houdini.
i chose this picture not because of any hidden meaning like two faces or im watching you etc.
Look at the picture. How did he do that? It has'nt been tampered with. It should'nt be possible. It was taken over 60 years ago. So the knowledge is secret...... SecretKnowledge.

Oh, crap...

I only meant to do the drive by

You're newish here (nice to meet you by the way)

Once upon a time I used to change my avatar often - very often - always an ape or monkey

You want something deeper?

Well, it's a baboon...In a field of poppies - under the moonlight

it's a monkey Rorschach - let it be whatever you want it to be

:-)

it might be time for a new one - been saying that for a while now - but I feel one coming on

I only recently put up an avatar. I was going through personal pics and decided to use this one of my lil guy checking out the latest news on ATS. He has this thing about earthquakes.

I just like the sentiment of mine. I think we should all remember that we are awesome at least once in a day.

I was torn between my current one and this.....


I also think we should be reminded daily how douchey we are as well.....BUT remembering you are Awesome is better than remembering you are a douche, so I chose awesome......

I reserve the right to change it if I ever become more jaded though...lol
