Standing Still

Welcome

It would appear that you have stumbled upon this site...whether that was by pure chance or whether it was deliberate, I would hope that you will take the time to read what is written here—at the very least, read a few lines before you continue on your merry way. I will admit that I do bear slight reluctance toward asking you to stay (as I prefer not to ask anyone to do anything they would otherwise not want to); however, this little site you have found your way to just happens to be my own little corner of the world. In the impersonal, fast-paced, capitalist world of today, this is the one place that belongs to me. It's mine. I can do with it as I wish. I could tear it down right now, if I wanted to, or I could keep it just as it is. I can build it up, I can bring it down. That, o weary wanderers of the internet, is precisely why I ask that you stay a minute or two...so that my small portion of the world can be made aware to more than just my own self. So that I can satisfy my all-too-human desire for appreciation...or rather, realization. This human quest for realization is not extravagant, nor is it selfish; in philosophical terms, it just is. Plain and simple, that is the best explanation I can offer at this time. Perhaps in the future I will understand it well enough to think up a better one, but for now, I leave you with that. And so, without further nonsense, ramble, or philosophy, I will conclude this block of words with a sincere thank you, to all those who didn't wander away from this site upon entry. I hope that you few will stay even longer—I hope, but I do not request—and take the time to read a few of the things I will post onto this site in the future. Until then, I bid you my farewell. Take care.

Help:

As you may or may not have noticed, most of the titles on this site are song titles or album titles, or have been adopted from one or the other. I know it can be hard to navigate through the site without knowing what page each title in the sidebar leads to, so I will help you out and translate...

Achtung: My blog, where I post all the things I write for this site

Promenade: Members page, where you can register as a member or see existing members

Echoes: Guestbook, where you can leave a comment (you do not have to be a member)

At this time, I will not tell you what song, album, or artist any of these titles have come from, nor will I tell you why I have chosen them for each section. I'll leave it up to you to come up with your own interpretation of the titles.

P.S. the site title, Standing Still, was adapted from a song title as well.
