TristanNuvo's Profile

I've been watching a bunch of Dexter shows, and I really miss that show.

Buckeyeproud comments on Jun 26, 2018:

Really awesome show with a great concept. Forget his name but he was great in Six feet under really a great actor. Dexter was fun to watch!

TristanNuvo replies on Jun 26, 2018:

Although I also loved 6 feet under, and I'm glad some one else remembers that show. I have to say Dexter is one I like more. I mean how does one make a show where the hero is a serial killer. Either way I have to agree with you, both shows were great.

I have a question for all you music lovers out there: Do you have a favorite song? If so, why?

clmartin comments on Jun 26, 2018:

I like several different songs for different reasons but my all time favorite is Todd Rundgren's Hello it's Me. It's hard to put my finger on why, though. It's really a bittersweet little song.

TristanNuvo replies on Jun 26, 2018:

That's one of my favorites. So is his, I saw the light.

I'm not sure if any one else has seen the vids from Betty Bowers, she is brilliant.

JacarC comments on Jun 26, 2018:

He vid about "marriage is between one man and one woman" is great.

TristanNuvo replies on Jun 26, 2018:

I agree. That's one of my favorites as well.

I listen to "The profane argument" podcast, and so far it's the only Atheistic podcast I've found.

FreethoughtKaty comments on Jun 25, 2018:

The Atheist Experience. I also love watching debates between one of the hosts, Matt Dillahunty and various theists, on youtube

TristanNuvo replies on Jun 25, 2018:

That's been one of my favorites for more than a decade. Great show.

What are the best and/or your favorite musicians of all time?

SmartKidCorner comments on Jun 25, 2018:

I have alot of respect for Trent Reznor. He overcame drug abuse in the 90's and is still making innovative, mind-blowing music. He is not afraid to bare his soul to the masses, even if the masses don't accept it. He is a genius.

TristanNuvo replies on Jun 25, 2018:

NIN is one of my favorites.

What are the best and/or your favorite musicians of all time?

TristanNuvo comments on Jun 25, 2018:

Any thing from Bach.

TristanNuvo replies on Jun 25, 2018:

@chaz13 I used to play the Cello when I was younger and one of things I had to learn to play was this. https://youtu.be/PCicM6i59_I This was my intro to Bach, and since then I'vad the opportunity to learn most of his works. There a lot of musicians and composers that I greatly admire, but Back still holds to be my favorite.

I'm not sure if any one else has seen the vids from Betty Bowers, she is brilliant.

Imatheistically comments on Jun 25, 2018:

Betty Bowers is a "by-product" of "landoverbaptist.org" (a parody website, that if shown to "christians" WILL make them lose their shit! ;). I have been a fan of both for a LONG TIME now (and even have the "Unsaved" T-shirt, and baseball cap "required" to be worn by "Landover Baptist Church"! ;)

TristanNuvo replies on Jun 25, 2018:

I'll have to admit that I've never heard of landoverbaptist.org. So thank you for sharing that. I will have to look that up.

LucyLoohoo comments on Jun 25, 2018:

Betty's been my hero for years! If you don't know her work...PLEASE look into it!

TristanNuvo replies on Jun 25, 2018:

Me too. I watched a bunch of her vids back a few years ago, but I forgot about her. Then a little while ago I stumbled on one of her old vids. I'm so glad I did. That woman is pure gold in my book.

I'm not sure if any one else has seen the vids from Betty Bowers, she is brilliant.

Betty comments on Jun 25, 2018:

It takes courage to combat your insecurities. I admire it. Keep it up.

TristanNuvo replies on Jun 24, 2018:

I failed a few times at comiting suicide. Though it was a horrible thing to bear, the one thing I did learn what when I get that far down, I will check myself into the mental ward.It' has saved me quite a few times. And since I have had the great opportunity to get some real help, it's been a great learning experience. I know now have those dark times. and by the way, Thank you for the kind words. It means a lot to me.

Two of my favorite bands playing to gether. . Was a good time to see these two gether. [youtu.be]

Sorry, i don't know why it didn't show , but it's up there now.

I was never a believer.

CeliaAnne comments on Jun 23, 2018:

I love listening to Neil on Star Talk radio.

TristanNuvo replies on Jun 23, 2018:

That is one of my favorites as well.

So long Vinnie Paul Abbott... you had a great run....

TristanNuvo comments on Jun 23, 2018:

It always seem that the more I like a band there always seems to be some tragity with a member dieing. Lane Stanly, Dimebag, vinny, Chris Cornell, Kurt Cobain, the list goes one and on. I think about this with some great sorrow. Yet I also thing sometimes that all of those guys were the same age...

TristanNuvo replies on Jun 23, 2018:

@Captnron59 I do agree, but it is hard to let go of some one that has had a big influance on my life.Agood friend of mine and I have this ritual that we will have a few beers, or shots in remberance of what they mean to us.

So long Vinnie Paul Abbott... you had a great run....

Didn't know Panterra that well but gone too soon.

TristanNuvo replies on Jun 23, 2018:

Pantera was a great band that changed the way Rock, or Metal was done. It was A great alternitive to the 80's big hair bands. They were heavier than most other bands, but they stuck to their grounds and never sold out. Here is a tune that shows what they were about. https://youtu.be/i97OkCXwotE

Not sure of how many people have seen this site.

I watched many of these...a great show. Is it still running?

TristanNuvo replies on Jun 23, 2018:

Yeah. He had Chris Dautry on a little while back.

I don't know if any one has ever saw this site, it's called live from daryls house.

Melind comments on Jun 22, 2018:

See the one where CHROMEO plays "I can't go for that". soooo amazing

TristanNuvo replies on Jun 22, 2018:

I've seen it. It's one of my favorites.

MichelleGar1 comments on Jun 21, 2018:

So badass!!!!

TristanNuvo replies on Jun 21, 2018:

Thank you, and I agree. I've spent many years teaching myself some great guitar pieces, and put together some of my own stuff on youtube, but although I've learned to play his stuff, I don't come close to writing the stuff he brings to the table

There’s no link. I’m just gonna assume you’re talking about Glenn Danzig ??

Sorry I must have made a mistake when I posted this. Thank you for pointing it out. It was about a Steve Via tune.

Phil makes some of the most moving videos. This is one of my favorites. [youtu.be]

I love his work. I've posted his videos many times through the years, and have made a few posts here using them, including this one. Too bad he's not active anymore.

I'm going to be in DC this weekend.

TristanNuvo comments on Jun 20, 2018:

I am not from that area in any respect. But your post reminds me of the few times that me and a friend went to DC a few times back in the 80's. great times, and the smithsonion was more than I could have imagened. Sorry for the mispelingings, I have a tough time writing on my phone.

TristanNuvo replies on Jun 20, 2018:

@Kokovoko1 agreed. I've had the pleasure if seeing some of the great exibets DC has to offer.

What do you say to someone that insists that "God"

TristanNuvo comments on Jun 19, 2018:

There was a time when I would get into their face and argue my beliefs,or but non-beliefs as it may. but I've learned that a single post, or contradictions a debate won't do much to discourage them from their indoctranation, so I usually just back away. but sometimes I think that speaking out about...

TristanNuvo replies on Jun 20, 2018:

@njoy_life_2 I volunteer at a homeless shelter which is run by a group called group called "Catholic charities.. this is one of the examples that the church is giving to the people that are trying to do well, and get the help that they might need. I have a conflict on that account. while I want to spread my views, I take a back sometimes I get to meet sometimes one might listen to reason that already have. If only one in a thousand actually accepts critical thinking, then I feel that I have lived up to my part.And I will always look up to them with great respect.

Rob Zombie - American Witch [youtu.be]

TristanNuvo comments on Jun 19, 2018:

Zombie is another of my fave's. The album astro creep is one of those that I've played a gizillion times, just like did with Dirt, Vulgar display, aenima, and such. and still after all these years will go back and play them again and again. some music is so good,that they don't lesson over the ages.

TristanNuvo replies on Jun 20, 2018:

@Buckeyeproud I have a friend that I grew a good relationship over the years. We have similar interests in a lot of things. Music is mostly the common denomber. We generally see eye to eye on most bands. But every here and there one of us will find something that the other has never heard of before. I love when that happens. I love hearing shit that is really good but I've never heard before.

Some food for thought.

Dinner ideas...

Actually, I just had an idea for a creation, so I tried it and it turned out delicious: raw tuna marinated in a Hawaiian sauce, mixed with a carton of natto (plus the fish sauce and spicy mustard), then topped with some scallions.

TristanNuvo replies on Jun 16, 2018:

I totally agree with you on the "nothing compares 2 you" song. Yes I will give credit to Prince for writing that song, as well as many other songs as well, but I think that Sinead O'Connor version was much better.

Agnostics are intelligent people based on what I've observed on this site.

See that is the confusing thing to me. I know some wonderful otherwise intelligent people who are god followers. Just can't figure it out. ?☹️

TristanNuvo replies on Jun 16, 2018:

I totally agree. I also have some great friends that are theists. some are not just great people, but very accepting of my non beliefs, we simply just never discuss the topic religion, and talk about other things. The one thing we have in common is that we like to help people in need. A few I've made friends with I've met volentering at a homeless shelter.

TristanNuvo replies on Jun 15, 2018:

@TheMiddleWay I just have to point out that I love the comment option. It gives people the possibility to view differences of opinion, for example, I do agree with you, and differ from you on some thoughts yet I do agree with you and others on their thoughts. I truely admire those that have have the balls to not only dissagree on some points, but are willing to accept annothers point of view. In point I love others input, most of the time it gives me field to maybe re-think what I might think.

TristanNuvo replies on Jun 15, 2018:

I do have to agree. The ultimate ending of any debate concerning theism, vr's atheism always ends with both sides claiming victory. and I have pondered why do it in the first place. The only solace I've come to is that sometimes the logical points made by people like, Dawkins, Harris, Dennet, Hitchens, and many others, might just plant some seeds of questioning what they believe. I think this is so because most people that are believers were tought about god, and usually not allowed to learn about the Sciences that are the basis for critical thinking. Which is also the reason I love shows like Cosmos, and Mythbusters who have shown that the wonders of what that univers really are, and in the case of Mythbusters, that showed, that critical thing is a great way to learn how something does, or does not work. Plus they made it fun to be entertained.
