What invention doesn't get a lot of attention but has made a huge positive impact on the world?
TristanNuvo comments on Jul 19, 2018:
Homeless shelters.
TristanNuvo replies on Jul 19, 2018:
@Omen6Actual On that I have to agree with you. I've nothing but horrible shit about the salvation army. At Pinellas Hope (that's the place Is am talking about) they take very special care for vets. and people are not all crammed into one big floor. There are little huts, or casidas I think they call them for every one. I'm sorry you had to go to a shit place like that you describe, I wouldn't want to go there either. Oh, and the reason I volunteer there is that after I got out of the hospital i has homeless, and I got to stay here. I litteraly got to get back on my feet. and for that I always try to do my share of helping others.

TristanNuvo replies on Jul 19, 2018:
@Omen6Actual I can't speak for Tampa, but the one I volunteer at is in Clearwater. They do background checks for people that are wanted. There are programs for people with substance and alcohol abuse.There is a classroom to get people to get a GED, there is a computer room for people to apply for benifits, or look for a job. There is a special program for vets. and many other things. and the staff and volunteers treat every one there with courtesy and respect.

Women (and men if you choose to answer), when does a compliment go too far?
TristanNuvo comments on Jul 19, 2018:
I'm not sure if it's a compliment or not, but get 'you look just like some one i used to know' a lot.
TristanNuvo replies on Jul 19, 2018:
@Hihi yep, I get from both men and women as well. I also get ' you look just like that guy in that movie, or that TVshow' .although they never can remember who that was. I think you are right, It must be because we have one of those faces.
Pick one and tell me how you would solve it: National Debt, Child hunger in USA, Homeless Veterans.
TristanNuvo comments on Jul 19, 2018:
I wouldn't know how to 'fix' any of those. But I do try to help the homeless. I volunteer at a homeless shelter. It's called Pinellas Hope. there around 500 people here, most are vets. This place is really great because it's not just a place to stay, we have GED classes, a computer room so ...
TristanNuvo replies on Jul 19, 2018:
@Mitch07102 It is. Through my time being here I've see many peoples lives change around, and I am very fortunate to have the time to be there and help out as much as I can. All of the staff and volunteers are very friendly and helpful. We really need to have more places like this.

TristanNuvo replies on Jul 12, 2018:
@Gareth Oh well, I'll bite to your trolling. As to my feelings about using the correct pronowus, it not because I have a problen I have. The problem I have is that some people go through many terms as want to be called. at this point there are about 50 different pronouns, Am some how I'm just to be psysic to know which title they want to be called. And to be honest I have to elaborate on a few points. I lived with my sister for a while because we had a great understanding Of being to go back to colledge, and Would help her with raising her kids. And I honestly think I did a great job of it. her son (at the time) got along rather well, we had the same taste in music, movies, games and such. After I moved back in Florida I found that Me (mehew) who decided to refew as a woman. And that made now difference to our relationship. We still have the same tast in movies games, movies and such, but I, because will call him by his, or hers name that she wanst to be called. I had the same thing with my niece, we also got along with her from when she was about 4, after a while she went from samantha, to Sam. She identifies as a male. and again, for her/him I will call him for what she wants to have to be called. I honestly love the both of them with all my heart. My problem about pronouns. To me there are about 50 different pronowns of what they want to be called whatever it may be. and to be honest, I'm not psycic, I have now idea what they want to be called. And for the record, I (as like i made a point to make) is that Ill call my neice by the name I use toward her/ him is to call him Sam.. My problem I have is that there are a bajillion pronouns, and I just can't keep up on the correct pronown. I would rather call them by their name rather than lable them.

Very much so. He was my intro to start playing and writing with a Spanish feel. Jesse Cook was another one. I've been playing since I was little and did my fair share of metal shredding. But over the years i kind of lost interest in that. After a while of that I ran into an old guitar friend, and he turned me on to the whole Spanish guitar. I fell in love with that style instantly. It's just so much fun to play.

I live in Clearwater. I love it here. it's on the west coast so it's on the Gulf, where that water is warmer, and real clear. It's no too expensive to live here. Well, I'm comparing that to where I used to live which was CT.
TristanNuvo replies on Jul 9, 2018:
@Bigwavedave Yes, it is. when I lived there My parents were loaded and they still are, but after I finnished high school I was given the boot,and not being to be able ti earn that kind of monet, I had to move away. On the up side, after making it on my own I have some what a little respect in their eyes, and they pay for my flight to come visit over the hollidays
That a HA moment.
TristanNuvo comments on Jul 9, 2018:
I can remember that same feeling. When I was younger a few friends and I used to travel to Vermont to ski. Take the ride to the top, and just stay up there for a while and soak it all in. like you said there was no sounds other that the wind through the pine trees, and the freshness of the air. And ...
TristanNuvo replies on Jul 9, 2018:
@Bigwavedave I agree, we also have dolphins. They love to swim with boats. I've had the pleasure of going sailing with some friends and got to see that in person. Dolphins are not only beautiful animals, but the love to play. I don't even have the words to describe how wonderful it is to see them up close.

Marionville comments on Jul 9, 2018:
I have just listened to this and have to agree that this is a very good version of the Simon & Garfunkel classic. He has a powerful voice and uses it to best effect. I am a singer mysef and recently sang this with my choir in four part harmony. It is the dynamics between the soft and the loud ...
TristanNuvo replies on Jul 9, 2018:
Agreed. I have always loved the original S&G version. But I was pleasantly amazed by this performance. I'm not usually into covers because most do it just like the original. But when some one does a cover and put their own flavor to it, it some times works out rather well.

TristanNuvo replies on Jul 9, 2018:
I agree. Not theor normal kind of song, but I think they pulled it off rather well.

This blew me away the first time I heard it.
TristanNuvo replies on Jul 9, 2018:
Same here. When I saw the title I wasn't sure what to think because I've always loved the original. I've been a disturbed fan for a long time and I know the pipes David has, but i still wasn't sure if I'd like it or not. I was very surprised at just how well he sang it.

Collective Identity of Non-theists
clarkatticus comments on Jul 7, 2018:
I do not believe we are held together at all really. In general we are liberal, but not all it say some. I cannot trust a conservative atheist, I simply do not believe it is possible-too many contradictions. I am a fiscal conservative, that is all, and even that comes with caveats.
TristanNuvo replies on Jul 7, 2018:
I in my own way kind of agree with you. I am conservitive about some things, yet liberal about others. I don't feel the need to be labled as either.
I realize that this isn,t metal, but I just had to post it.

I agree. I love the original NIN version, but Johnny gave it so much depth.I was never a big Jonny Cash fan, yes I do like some of his songs. But Him going outside the box with this gave me a whole new likeability to him
What is vulnerability to you?
TristanNuvo comments on Jul 7, 2018:
To be dumbfounded by such stupidity from one that I can't even begin to figure out the words to teach them just how silly what they have stated really is.

@MarilynRoman I can mention a few. That there are some that the moon landing was a hoax, that the earth is flat. That evelolution is just a 'theory',. the list goes on and on.

Since I posted Johnny Cash doing a NIN tune, I thought it would be good to post a real NIN song.
NothinnXpreVails comments on Jul 7, 2018:
He did a great job on 13 cover, too.
TristanNuvo replies on Jul 7, 2018:
I have never been much of a Johnny Cash fan. I do like some of his songs. But the thing that really got me was that he had no fear in putting his spin on some modern tunes. I love him for that.

TristanNuvo replies on Jul 7, 2018:
@LadyAlyxandrea Thank you. As much as I have a problem with being around other people, I do love blog sites because I don'have the fear of actually letting the paranoia get the best of me. in fact, I've learned to use a blog that lets me say what is on my mind rather than claming up with real people. Aside from my music that I write writing wrat I really go through is kind of theraputic. Also, every so often I get some feedback from some one that knows what I go through. From the bottom of my heart I say thank you for your input. It means a lot to me.:)

TristanNuvo replies on Jul 7, 2018:
At the time when I wrote this i did forget the part of hearing voices. Mostly they tell me things like, You are damaged, you are worthless, you are a burden on other people, you might as well do every one a favor and just end it all, and many things like that. Sometimes they will wake me up in terror. Thinking there is some one in my room with me. It takes a while to shake that off. But at least through some good therapy, I've learned how to minimize that feeling of dread. I realize that I will never be cured, but I do take some solace in that I am willing to try to work on the therapy. It doesn't work all the time, but I have learned some coping skills that help to at least minimalize what I go through. Because I have finally found the right psychiatrist, and therapist, I've been doing a lot better an most things. One of the meds that I take is seriquel, that helps me with the voices, halucinations, and mostly sleep. Although, there are times when even after taking the meds, it still doesn't work, so I will drink a bit. that combined with the meds usually knocks me the fuck out., One thing I have noticed is that when I do actually get some sleep, my symptons lessen a bit. And thank you for the thumbs up an being the 'friendly guy'. but it took me a long set of baby steps to get there. I still have a long way to go, but after a few good results, It helps me to try and progress more. Thank you btw, for your input. It helps me to realize that I am not the only one that goes through this. I wish nothing but the best for you and your ex.

TristanNuvo replies on Jul 7, 2018:
I am truely sorry that you go through that. But in a way I really glad to hear your story. It gives me a sense of I am not alone. I've gone through years of different doctors trying different medications. Its really hard to medicate for schizoaffective disorder, because there are so many things to tacle. Depression, voices, halucinations, major depression, mood swings, insomnia,paranoia,suidal thoughts, and plenty more. I have finally found a psychiatrist, and a good therapist that worked with me a great deal of getting the meds that work the best. some I used to take would work on some things, but not others. I am very aware that there is no cure, and even at best the right meds, and doses help a lot, but even at that trial and error, they only work so well. The only thing I've learned, or decided, was that when I get bad enough, rather that trying to kill myself again, I will seek help, which has helped me many times. I've had to be into the mental ward so far 6 times. even that isn't a cure, but just the fact that I will seek help rather than suicide again gives me a little hope. I can't offer much to you, but I can say I wish the best for you.

TristanNuvo replies on Jul 1, 2018:
Even though I am still A Steelers fan, I do have to agree with you. The knitting group that has become the norm on the NFL Is really not what football has been in the past. I do love a great touch down. but I really have to admit that I love how it usred to be when hitting hard really mean't something People like Jack tatem, orDick Butkis, or Jack lambert really changed the way the sport. Which is sad because as great as they were, the nfl wold never let them play. I truelly miss gold smash mouth foot ball.

yes it is. I'm not sure how it was made, or who made it but I do love it. I have a bunch of shirts that have that symbol on it. It's kind of a sweet thing in that it really is not known by theists am I've noticed that that the religious folk don't have a clue to what that symbol actually means. Which I find rather funny.

@Donotbelieve Sorry to come across crass. There are some times that i can't voice my opinion with words as much as I'd like to. The truth is that I am 53 years old. I've done my fair share of dating, but I do enjoy very much love the friend that I have. i have a better connection with my friends than I've ever had with girl friends. In fact there many of lovers that I have been with didn't go so well, but we have grown to be great friends. The comment I made about being alone was a long time awaiting. It took a long time to love my self. as much as I do love to be with my friends, I have learned to make peace with myself, and I love the times that I love to have my time to be alone and enjoy it.
Woot.

I saw an ad about this. So I gave it a go, only to find that this was something i have looking for a long time. And the people here that when i was new they were very polite, open minded, and friendly. For the most part, I have not haveing attact by trolls.

I agree. For the life of me I just can't how some are so convinced to believe something regardless of the evidence that shows just how they are. Most of the time I will just blow it off, and move on to something else that makes sense. but some times I will have to admit that I just can't help but calling out their BS, and give some real evidence. yet to my dismay, it always seems to fall on deaf ears. Sad really.

TristanNuvo replies on Jun 27, 2018:
@Annitonn I do agree that "One" is not the best song to react to from that album. For me I would have rather they did blackened, or something like that. but they get the songs they play from sugestions from every one that comments on their page. so I would imagin that it is haed for them to pick what ever song they do.

TristanNuvo replies on Jun 27, 2018:
@Annitonn Their vids are fairly new, so they have a limited amount of songs they've not had many reviews so far, but they seem to favor metallica, as well as slayer, korn, soundgarden, and a few others. I just like them because they are open to listen to other types of music than hip hop and such. I've always had a great respect for those who will think outside the box and be turned on by something new.
