Have you noticed a pattern to the men or women you go for?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 30, 2018:

I really don't think I have a specific pattern. Every one I've been with has been both mentally and physically stimulating. However, Mentally has more weight to it.

Good morning! Thank you for the well wishes yesterday! Doing much better today and going back to ...

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 30, 2018:

Having mine now too. And Good morning to you as well. :)

Spent part of my day visiting a Baha'i temple.

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 30, 2018:

Good art is good art, good architecture is good architecture, good music is good music, good people are good people. regardless if religious or not. It makes no difference to me what inspires them to create it. JMHO. That looks beautiful btw.

Post a song, maybe even daily, about our age group/generation.

Stevie Wonders, Songs in the key of life is one of my all time favorite albums. https://youtu.be/hYKYka-PNt0

great live rendition of gimme shelter by bruce springsteen [youtu.be]

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 30, 2018:

There is another great cover from Bruce, and a few others. It was a tribute to Joe Strummer. sorry, the volume is a bit low. https://youtu.be/XF6muISjM2k

Interesting, have seen this through the years. Anyone here go?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 30, 2018:

This looks like it be a world of fun.

So the dog ate one of my house shoes last night.

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 30, 2018:

Making shoes out of the dog sounds plausible. depending what kind of dog it is.lol :)

My recent shopping trips are not working out as planned.

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 30, 2018:

I love the use of the book the necronomicrom, this reminds me of the evil dead. Good stuff.

Which do you think is more important ?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 29, 2018:

My mother and I are very tight. I was very close to her mother (grandmother). There was , and still a lot of love and understanding there. As for my father, well he was very abusive mental, and physicallyI was terrified of him, and he made sure that it stayed that way. At 16 after one of his 'moments' with me, I had enough, I walked to my room, grabbed some things and was going to leave. just before I went out the door, I looked at him and said, You no longer have a son. That was the last time I have seen or heard from him. It was very liberating, and for the most part I was able to just put it all behind me. But every now and then I did have the thought of meeting him again, I am a lot bigger than I was then. And I thought, look at me now you piece of shit, try that shit now. But, I realized that would bring me down to his level, so i just let tossed that notion away. Although, one thing good happened on reflection, I learned how to not treat people.

My Queen-size bed feels aspirational lately: I use only a sliver of it while sleeping.

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 29, 2018:

I have a big bed, but that's because apparently I roll around a lot when I sleep. Not the best sleeping partner.

JUST FOR FUN .

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 29, 2018:

I remember this. It's always funny at just how much they look a like. I never knew that Will Farrell played the drums.

Veggies you like

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 29, 2018:

there isn't much I don't like. I'm no vegan by ant stretch, and as much as I am a steak lover, I also like veggies well. Among many, I love sugar snaps, and snow peas, roasted red peppers,spinach, just to name a few.

Ever spent time around someone who was a perfectionist?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 29, 2018:

I'm usually fairly laid back, and I let a lot of shit slide. But when it comes to the music I write I am a true perfectionist. Now matter what I do to a song, I always thing it could be better, I'm never satisfied. I've changed some of my songs so many times to get it just right, that sometimes the song isn't any where like the original.

Regarding age, how much younger or older are you willing to go in order to date someone?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 28, 2018:

I think it has a bit to do with how old you are. For example, A 5 year difference whet you are a teen is kind of a big thing. But in your 40's or 50's 10 years isn't really a big deal. That been my experience ant way But in truth, If the compatability is really there, I would have to say that age doesn't really matter.

This is for you German Girl!

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 27, 2018:

I'm like that more often than not. First off I'm not a morning person, although I do wake up fairly early. The second thing is that on of the side effects of my antipsycotic med(seroquel) makes me very sleepy for the first hour or two. So some times I have to have a few more cups than usual, so I'm not a total zombie.

Say something ?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 27, 2018:

Not as insane as I used to be.

Good Morning! Sharing what I am most proud of today ?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 27, 2018:

We have Jazz, and Blues festivals here in the Tampa-Clearwater area, especially in a town called Ybor city. They close off a block or so, and you can go get some beer or some wine, and take it out side.. And a lot of resturaunts bring food for the ocasion. Some times they will have parades with bands playing music. They have many celebrations like that many times a year. I try to go there as much as possible with some friends and listen to some great bands. Hell of a great time.

Remember when you were young and had dreams, hopes and aspirations?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 27, 2018:

I've had my ups and downs, but Fortunatlly I am very happy with my life. Even though my dreams have changed over the years, I still pursue them with the same vigor that I did when i was younger.

Does anyone else have difficulty deciding if an artist belongs in this group?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 26, 2018:

I love Smashing Pumpkins. Siamese dream is my favorite. I got to see them live at a lollapalooza tour. I don't think it matters if one calls it metal or not, I've posted some that were not metal or punk. I just figure if you like it , post it.

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 26, 2018:

I love it here. For the most part every one I've met are friendly, and made me feel welcome. There seems to be a great sense of community here, and I like that. I honestly can't think of anything I do not like about this place.

Sunday activities. What does your 'normal' Sunday look like?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 26, 2018:

Nursing a hangover, and watching movies. And maybe a nap.

I am home from my award-winning weekend. No bail necessary. Imagine that!

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 26, 2018:

I hope you had a great time.

I didn't realize there are so many of us, here. Yeah! Anyone close by St Augustine?

I was surprised myself when I first got here at how many people from Florida there aer. I live in Clearwater.

Does anybody else struggle to find open and honest reporting?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 26, 2018:

I was taught at an early age to question every thing, or better using the Scientific method. The big problem these days is that a lot of people because of the internet, believe in some wrong information. For example, some treat a paper or a lecture from a published Scientist with a doctorate, with the same weight as some crack pot consiracy nut.

Good morning to you as well. Just making my coffee now, and it's not brewing fast enough. lol. :)

I wonder how many people here were born Atheist/Agnostic or were perhaps brought up religiously then...

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 25, 2018:

I was lucky, I wasn't brought up in a religious household. I was never a believer.

You think you invented it?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 25, 2018:

I don't care what label it has I either like it, or I don't.

This would be cool in your yard.???

It would do a gob of keeping Jehovah's witnesses away.

What is it that you would prefer to be doing tonight?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 25, 2018:

Having a few glasses of some good wine, and playing/ writing some Spanish guitar. I've been on the upside in creativity lately, so I want to take advantage while I can.

Good Saturday morning! Have a great weekend everyone! We're off to Orlando today, to do some ...

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 25, 2018:

Good Morning to you as well. Having my coffee right now, still groggy, so it might take a couple of cups.

A quick shout out to siblings.

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 25, 2018:

I have 1 sister, but I didn't know her very well. My parents split when I was younger, I went with my mom, and my sister went with my dad.And since neither me or my mom communicate with my father, I rarely ever got to grow up with her. After we both got older we reunited, and got to know each other. She has two kids, that I get along with really well.

Isn't this wild.

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 25, 2018:

Now THAT is cool.

Ok so what’s everyone doing tonight? I’m home making a low carb version of “spaghetti”.

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 24, 2018:

Drinking, and listening to music.

Are you heartache proof? Did you ever think you would be?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 24, 2018:

The only heart brake I've ever had was when my grandmother died. We were very close, and it very hard to get over, I still really miss her. But as forrelationships, I've never had a bad breakup. In fact I'm still friends with most of them.

Tell me a heartwarming story, I could use some kindness and cheering up today.

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 24, 2018:

There some elderly people at the homeless shelter I volunteer. At dinner time we have a line, every one goes through and get some good food, and sit at the tables. But rather than have the elderly stand in line I will seat them down at the table and bring their food out to them. They don't need to give me thanks for doing that, but they do. and that makes me happy.

What music could you...?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 24, 2018:

I'm a musician, so it's really hard to pick just five, but off the top of my head I'll name a few that are some of my favorites. Bach. Andreas Vollenweider. Metallica. Alice in Chains. Pink Floyd.

Just a few things that have been on my mind 1.

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 24, 2018:

I'm 53, and even though we live very far away, I go up north somewhere between thanksgiving and christmas. for about a week. She I and my step dad do all kinds of things together. see a movie, take a walk through the gardens. have some great food, I used to be a chef, so I like to treat them to something really nice. then usuall we'll have a glass of wine or two, and watch some Game of Thrones or some other show we like. it's great that we still get to do that.\

A perfect moment caught

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 24, 2018:

Here are a few pics from the homeless shelter that I volunteer at. This place houses around 250 people. their goal is to get people back on their feet. There are computer rooms where people can apply for benifits, apply for jobs etc. There are quite a few groups that bring dinner every night. and some bring clothes.They even have teachers volunteer to teach a class to get people a GED if needed. I'm happiest when I am there, I love to help people when I can.

Happy Friday! Make it fabulous!

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 24, 2018:

When you are interacting with other members in this group, what makes you happiest?

Up way too early...are there people in this group who have chronic issues with sleeping?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 24, 2018:

I used to do the same, sleeping has always been a big problem for me. I've had times where I would go and not get but an hour or two for days. But for a while now I've been on different anti-psych meds,(seroquel) That stuff puts me down hard. Sometimes a little to hard because I'll wake up very groggy, and it takes a while to function

I saw this the other day. I really do miss him. God is NOT Great, is one of my favorite books.

So question of course.

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 23, 2018:

I love a good glass or two of good wine after the day is over, sometimes i have a taste for a good imported ale. It's very relaxing. But I don't think I could be in a relationship with some one that wouldn't let me drink. or any other thing that I might enjoy. i would never do that to another person either.

Craziest religious thing you’ve ever done?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 23, 2018:

I wish I had something good to post on this, but alas, I've never been a believer so I've never had such experiences.

How many of you have adopted this group as kind of a surrogate family?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 23, 2018:

I'm in the process of applying to be a CASA volunteer.

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 23, 2018:

I don't have the means to be able to home a child, even though I would like to. I do understand though the want to help people. That's why I volunteer most of the week at a homeless shelter.

I met a guy who told me that he's never had alcohol and therefore he's never been drunk.

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 23, 2018:

I think this sums it up for me...

Quick question. What is growing in YOUR garden this season?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 23, 2018:

I grow Peperoncini rossi. They are an Italian pepper. Great flavor, and not to hot, I use them in quite a few dishes. I also grow sweet basil. They both grow well here in Florida.

Who was the first person you told that you were an atheist?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 23, 2018:

I was lucky enough to not have been brought up in a religious household, so I was never a believer. So I never had that 'coming out' experience. But as to the first person. hmm, i guess maybe in a conversation with some one who was religious, but I've had too many of those to remember when was the first.

Do you "dress your age"?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 23, 2018:

Blue jeans, and a white Oxford shirt, and my Sketchers. That's pretty much what I've been wearing for decades.

I got my new Agnostic T-Shirt from the Agnostic.com Store. That should make everyone happy.

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 23, 2018:

Nice. I am going to have to get one of those.

I think your mind either expands or shrinks under either an alcoholic or drug induced state.

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 23, 2018:

It's debatable, But I know that a lot of great music has been written by those that were either High, or drunk. That's even going back to many Classical composers.

"It's not what I say, it's what the Bible says."

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 23, 2018:

It's actually ironic, and yet funny at just how many Christians have in fact not read the whole bible. I've seen many debates, and shows like, the Atheist Experience where the Atheist knew more about the bible than the Believer.

What one physical feature would you change about yourself?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 22, 2018:

I'm not too happy with my mental disorder, I'd like to change that. But physically, i'm happy just the way I am. When I was younger I didn't really have much self esteem,so I had a lot of things I would have liked to change. but,as I got older I've learned to like myself for the person that I have become, I really don't care about my looks any more, for better or worse.

Thanks to this site I am chatting with a good man offline.

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 22, 2018:

I honestly believe that being happy with ones self is key. Too many times I've seen people settle for less than they deserve because insecurities can make one think that you are not worth some one better. JMHO.

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 22, 2018:

I have always found it a bit awkward to have dinner on a first date. way too many things go through my head, are my manors ok, what should I order, and a few other things. I find it rather uncomfortable. I prefer to meet over a drink or two, It seems a lot less stressful, and it's easier to get more relaxed so we can talk more, plus it's cheaper. I don't mean getting sloppy drunk, just a glass of wine or two. If all goes well, and we would like to see each other again, i like to make us dinner. I used to be a chef, so I can make something special. Plus I live on the beach, so a nice thing that I like to do is have a walk, and watch the sunset. I live on the gulf, so we have some great sunsets.

I'm ready ???

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 22, 2018:

That was such a great show.

As you get older ☺?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 22, 2018:

Having some retrospect on how I was when I was much younger, I'm really happy of the person I have become.

That's funny that you mention World of Warcraft. I've been playing for years. I've actually got to meet some of my friends that I play with, not in a romantic sense, but just meeting them in real life was pretty cool.

Are there things you want to change about yourself?

TristanNuvo comments on Aug 22, 2018:
