WHY DO PEOPLE BELIEVE IN THE SUPERNATURAL?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 12, 2018:

Not only superstition, but there some real whack jobs out there. Like the chem trails people, the moon landing deniers, The flat Earthers, and many more.

For those of you over 50 years old, I have created a group for us.

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 12, 2018:

I'm the very same way.

You THEN! I enjoy the banter here, and the rain is letting up, so it is time to get off my butt and ...

What are or were some of your favorite children's or YA books?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 12, 2018:

Lord of the rings, and the Hobbit. Over the years I've re read those books many times over.

Okay share your disco stories.

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 12, 2018:

I grew up in that era, an I still have to stick to my guns here and say I fucking hated disco. Most of it was stollen from some great Funk bands, like the commadors, earth wind an fire, George Clinton and the parliment funkadelic,, and many more. Alwaysy lovrd the funk, but I've alwayse hated disco.

Have any of you shared this site on Facebook?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 11, 2018:

I have, a few times. Most of all my friends know I'm an Atheist anyway, so I've never got any backlash from them. But it is quite comical to read some of the posts from others.

On dating sites, everyone says they like long walks on the beach.

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 11, 2018:

I actually live on the beach, but it's rare that I'll take a long walk on it. Mostly I like to just sit there and absorb the nature. The sound of the waves, The sounds of seagulls,just looking out at the horizon, things like that. The best though is that I live on the west coast, so we get some amazing sunsets.

Do you find that the more you learn about music, the more picky and closed minded you get about it?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 11, 2018:

I always get something from other players. I love to learn something new. I've always been open minded, but over the years it's grown stronger.

Anyone else out there diagnosed with bpd?

Good morning and TGIF!

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 10, 2018:

I can very much relate to that one. And good morning to you as well. :)

Has anyone ever noticed that most atheist and agnostics know more about the Bible than most ...

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 9, 2018:

I was lucky, I wasn't brought up in a religious household, so essentially I've been an Atheist all of my life. I never thought much about it until around around 2000, when the internet was on the rise, especially Youtube. I watched a lot of debates about religion, Science, and creationism. So I figured,I woul;dn't get involved in any debates until I read the bible all the way through. The whole time I was thinking, are you serious, people actually believe this crap.

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 9, 2018:

I've not been here all that long, but with the help of others, I got to figure out a lot about where every thing is and such. So I've been paying it forward. I've helped a few new comers find where things are, how to post vids and such. In all honesty, this site has the best community of any other blog sites I've been a member of.

Is there ?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 9, 2018:

I've heard of all kinds of so called 'miracles' from believers. If that were true, then how come god has never 'cured' an amputee. I Think I'll just stick to no, there is no god.

Good morning!

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 9, 2018:

Just having some myself. And good morning to you as well. :)

Why do people post pictures of their motorcycles on dating sites.

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 8, 2018:

I used to have a bike, zx1200 Ninja. but it was a racing bike,nothing that thing that a 'biker' would call a bike. they mostly go for the Harley thing. to me it's just apples and oranges. But I've never posted any pics of that, unless they ask. But I do get what you are saying. I've noticed it too. I don't understand it but yes, harley riders love to show pics of their bikes.as if that is all the information any one needs to know about them. my sister does the same. She posts pics of her and her roadster all the time. this is just a pic I pulled off the inyterwebs. but it is the last bike I owned, only mine was green. I broke a lot of speed violations on thay bike. lol.

Where do your facts come from? How do you discuss politics if you can't trust sources?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 8, 2018:

I actually try to avoid political conversations, or discussions. But I can answer your question in something else. Before I'll make a point, or retort about something in History, Science, Cosmology etc. I will look up many different sources, preferably papers from Published peers of a certian topic. That's how I was taught in school how to do. I think it's the most effective way in my opinion.

Carl Sagan’s Cosmos

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 8, 2018:

I remember it well. It had a huge impact in my life. It gave me a much better understanding, and the fascination of Science. I also really enjoyed the remake with Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

I'm admitting I dont have a high IQ but i would like to learn from those who do.

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 8, 2018:

Although I can hold hold my own, I do favor being around people that are smarter than me. I love nothing more than to learn something new.

Have you seen anyone list their IQ in their single's profile?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 8, 2018:

I'm not going to give a number, but i was tested a few times with an above average IQ. Please do not get me wrong on this, I'm not trying to show off or any thing. In fact quite the opposite. Myself and a few I've met deal with the same few things. First off, I am fairly unstable. Where some things that I can do or think of comes to me quite easily, yet some of the simplest tasks that come easy to most people I struggle with often. For instance, I can't figure out what goes together clothes wise. So I have the same outfit many times over, the same pants, the same shirts Etc. I usually have bad insomnia because My brain sometimes won't shut up. Sometimes It's some mathematical equations, some times it's A piece of music that I've been writing. So I'll get up and start working on some math, or grab my guitar to try to get it out of my head, but that only makes it worse. The ironic thing is that I was not a great student at my regular school. I got bad grades often, so i was put into an advanced learning facility. (I think that's what they called it). That was a great fit for me for many reasons. One is that regular schools have you read something out of a text book, and you have to memorize it and then take a test on it. The problem I have with that is that for the most part, especially History, was that you were tested on names, and dates. You are never going to use that information in any real life. What we did at our school was talk about the events that led up to and during an event, given a topic, and let us do our research on it by ourselves, and submit a paper on our findings Honestly I think all schools should teach that way. essentially we were taught how to think, rather than just memorization. Although I am generally a nice person. I like to say 'Hi' and wave to people i meet on the street on one of my walks. But IRL I'm very socially awkward. It takes me a long while of getting to know some one before i can have any kind of conversation with them. Although when I do get to know some one, I'm an open book. That is one of the reasons i love places like blog sites. I'm not actually meeting anyone face to face, so it is a little easier to open up and be myself. I had more, but I didn't really want to make a long comment.

never huge bush fan but this song is so gooood [youtu.be] little things

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 8, 2018:

Not really a big Bush fan either, But they did have a couple of songs that I did like.

What is your explanation?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 8, 2018:

I don't subscribe to the notion that such a thing as a 'soul' exists. I think it's all in ones head. JMHO.

Any reactions? [youtube.com]

How are members feeling about all the memes and links on the site? Asking for a friend. :)

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 8, 2018:

Honestly doesn't bother me at all. I've posted some memes, I've posted vids, and I've posted some that had neither. Some memes I've seen were quite funny.

Who knew that religion had so many loop holes to be exploited?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 8, 2018:

With such a lack of Reason and Logic amongst religionists and spiritualists how do we who have ...

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 8, 2018:

Through out time, and still today there have been many great Scientists that were believers, yet that never got in the way of them using the scientific method.

When was your ephiphany about god?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 8, 2018:

I didn't have one. I was lucky enough to not grown up in a religious household. So I've been a non-believer all my life.

Does religion equal goodness

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 8, 2018:

IMHO, religious or not, good people are good people.

I didn't realize writing original music was so hard lol.

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 8, 2018:

I'm the opposite way. Writing music came very natural to me. Well with a lot of practice when I was younger. But i couldn't put words down to save my life. That's how it used to work in a few bands I've been in. I would write some music. And the rest of the guys wrote the lyrics. But as in anything Practice is everything. Hell even though I can do it well, I still every now and then write some crap music. But I keep at it.

Poor Grandma. Like and share.

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 8, 2018:

Although she passed a long time ago, My grandmother on my mom's side I loved very much. i'm not sure why, but she seemed to favor me too. She was An Italian woman who moved to the USA when she was about 15 ish, She still Had a very strong accent. She taught me some Italian.. She used to teach me how to cook many Italian dishes. Which eventually led to me becoming a chef.

This explains it. Lol.

Seriously, wtf Jesus.

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 5, 2018:

These are great. On an old blog site that I was a member of, a good friend and I used to post these every so often, just to get a rise out of people. And it worked rather well. Ironically, My friend is a believer. Although not at all religious.

What are your favorite instruments in your collection?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 4, 2018:

I love Takamine guitars. I used to have a Classical guitar of theirs, and the sound and playability was great. But I eventually sold it to get an Manuel Rodriguez Model FF. It was very expensive and I had to work really hard to save up the doh for it, but it was worth it. That guitar has the best natural sound I've ever heard. Through out the many decades I've owned a whole crap load of different electrics. But one time at the music store i was going to see if I could find a good strat because they were some how just a great fit for me. One of the guys that worked there asked if I'd ever played an Ibanez before. I told him that I didn't because they were a Jazz guitar maker. This was back in around 1982. he told me that they started making electric models for rock, or metal. So he got me to try one out.If I remember correctly, it was an RG series that I got to play. In a matter of minutes I was in all wonder of just how versitial, and great to play. I bought it on the spot. I've never owned anything other Ibanaze electric guitars since then. My bass 5 string is an Ibanez as well.

To the ladies. How do i tell if a woman is actually interested in me vs. just being nice?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 4, 2018:

It's a hard question. Honestly I'me rather bad at noticing it when it happens. Most of the time I think that it's just them being friendly, so I understand what you mean. But, Some times it's happened that I did notice it, and I was not into them which made me very uncortable.

Ouija boards are recommended for ages 8 and up.

It's weird to say , but I have had some parrtners that couldn't get off without some anal. I'm not sure was. but it was there. I know it's kind of freaky, but I've been with some that they can't get off with out some anal action. ILL probably get reported for saying this. Bot it has happened quite a few times,./ And to be honest I've never known why that is.

Before I became a GOT's fan I was a Dexter fan. to me that was some of the most original writing ever. I was skeptical at first about GOT. but my mum turned ne on to it and we watched the first season together. And I was hoocked. BTW my mum was a huge Dexter fan as well, so I took her value in a show accordingly.

The last two men I was in love with didn't want to love me back.

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 4, 2018:

being a guitar player from the 80's till now I've met many woman that just wanted to get with some member of the band. I've always hated that. I've always looked for a good conection, and just being a member of a band never quite id it for me. Not to say I didn't have my fair share of one nighters. But that is not what I look for in a partner.

It's great to give people something fun to do to take their mind off of the situation they are in. Many here get way into it, and have a great time.

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 3, 2018:

I usually simply just don't reply. They want to get a rise out of me, and I refuse to give them the satisfaction. There was only one time I did say something back. I won't mention his name, but he's here and was trolling me. One time I just had to say something. So I said, There you go again acting like a child. You are a grown man, start acting like one. But otherwise i just ignore them.

Has a song ever changed your mind? What was the song? How did it affect you?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 3, 2018:

Well, it wouldn't really be called changing my mind. But for a decade'ish I was playing guitar in a bunch of metal bands. And one day an old friend of mine that I had not seen in a while came by and had a Spanish guitar with him and he played some for me, and turned me on to some other artists that played the same.It' was just so festive. That changed my life. I was so hooked that I went out and bought a Spanish guitar. Been writing and recording that kind of music ever since. We get together with a few others we know that play as well, and have a great time playing together.
