I've stopped complaining about anything a long time ago. Becoming more resigned in my elderly years. The campfire has simmered down. In my wild years I would enjoy playing guitar and improvising everything from songs to my life to entertain people. Now I choose to do "The Standstill". I guess one could stay "The Standstill" is probably along the same lines as John Lennon's "Watching the Wheels". The major differences I can point out right of the bat between "The Standstill" and "Watching the Wheels",. would be for one "Watching the Wheels" is a song, and "The Standstill",. well to be honest with you it isn't a song, it is doing nothing about something. Another huge difference between the two would be I never became famous. If i ever did become famous I wouldn't be able to perform "The Standstill" anymore, I guess I'd just be able to sit there and watch the wheels for people to realize that I was doing nothing about something.
The best time to do the "The Standstill" is when you find yourself in any kind of a public setting and you find people in a heated disussion (argument) involving politics and/or religion. But I would feel obliged to encourage the reader to take a few moments off from "The Standstill" ( don't force it) to observe what is actually going on in front of you. Something will click inside you while you are doing nothing about something (The Standstill), You will realize that the people you are observing really aren't listening to what anyone else is saying. The reason for this is the people involved in the heated discussion are actually only paying attention to the words and thoughts the individual is presented with during the conversation. As if the individual is re-upping on ammo for the next discharge. There are great rewards to doing "The Standstill", if you don't believe me take some time out from your nowhere busy life to do "The Standstill", you will quickly find out what I am referring to. But do not mistake me, there is great effort involved with following through with "The Standstill" adaquately. It might even seem to be like going directly against your exact nature in early attempts. But do not be discouraged, because just like anything else "The Standtill" takes practice.
What exactly is "The Standstill?"
Who me? You know after reading all of that I am a bit offended you'd even ask me out of all things a question, this involves great effort. You should be ashamed.
How do I know when I'm doing "The Standstill" correctly?
I will provide you with only one brief answer. You aren't doing it now . You are just sitting there looking dull, inquisitive, naive, and curious.
Is "The standstill" similar to "The Hokey Pokey"?
Finally an intelligent question. Somebody give this man something, or nothing.
So there you have it, you are perhaps better off with doing something about nothing, or nothing about something.
