OK! If you're still waiting for an update this tuesday or the coming tuesday, I am ought to at least tell you a little story. Some are asking where have I been. Others and most people have already given up on that. But if you're here reading this, you're probably wondering what exactly happened.
Nothing and everything.
When this site started it was a simple homage page as there were non. But from there it grew. I thought to myself, if I want the 3 or 4 people who visited it to come back, I need to update it frequently. And so became Tuesday our day of meeting. It was fun. It was nice. There was a lot of enthusiasm, lots of plans, and a lot of good will. Days rolled. I became very obsessed about the site. At one point it was becoming a job. Less was the fun, more was the obligation and that was the time I began to drift away. I hardly listened to the songs anymore. I didn't like how the situation has evolved. I rejected it subconsciously (no I haven't seen a therapist, at least not yet.) But still I was unable to move on. I kept clinging to it, promising to update it and never getting it done. It felt like a chain was wrapped around me. That and my loss of interest in the Internet as a daily habit.
Well guess what. I am just a fan. And that's all I want to be now.
The site is going to be online for as long as I can afford it. As a reference for some. As a memory for others, just like our photo albums, things to look back to and feel good. One day we were there, and it was nice and it was fun.
I am sorry to have disappointed a lot of people. I am sorry to not have told you this before. And I want to thank everyone who came to the site, and those who still visit it once in a while.
Yours truly,
Khaled.
