5 am and I've been up for an hour and a half. But I'm
watching Futurama so hopefully it'll put me back to
sleep soon. Not like I have anything going on today
to get up for. I could just sleep in.
Jenna on the mind. Obviously. Something won't go
away. She told me that she said to a friend whatever
was going on between us, I was never mean. I never
said mean things. But this time I had. This time I
went too far she said. What I did say was mean, was
something I regretted saying right away, but it was
an angry moment, in a bitter argument. She was saying
mean and awful things to me and I shot back with a
bitter comment. It goes both ways, but it sticks in
my mind.
I found this I had wrote back on Thanksgiving of last
year. I never published it to my site (or if I did I
for some reason took it off).
And the story goes like this....
A time from now a guy will walk into a building in
some town or city. Whether it is a bar, hotel, store,
or some other residence does not matter. Nor does the
name of the city or town. Nor does the date, year, or
time. Its is all immaterial to the story.
The guy walks into a building. He looks across the
span of the room and there he recognizes her. Its
been some time since he last saw her. And he gets a
smile on his face. A happy smile. She sees him and
can't believe its him. The walk to each other.
"Its been a while," he says.
"It certainly has been. I can't believe its you,
here." she replies.
This is stupid he thinks. This shouldn't be so
awkward. It was hard then. It shouldn't be now. And
finally he says "Its good to see you," and reaches in
for a hug. And she hugs him back. And they relax. And
they sit and talk, about everything and nothing. And
catch up. And smile. And.....
I wrote it back then. I could write it today. I still
like it.
Anyways. Five am. Six am now really. Jurassic Bark.
Great Futurama episode about how Fry finds his dog
that has been flash fossilized. He has all these
lovely memories about the dog, which was his best
friend before he went to the future. He eventually
decides that his dog must have lived a long happy
life without him, and to bring the dog back to life
would be cheating the dog from the happy life he
lived without Fry. So he leaves Seymour (the dog)
fossilized. The end credits show Seymour living a
lonely life without Fry, waiting for him to come back
to him, but Fry never does. Its a sad ending. One of
the more sentimental episodes of Futurama.
As the long lonely life of Seymour is shown a song is
played. 'I Will Wait For You,' sang by Connie
Francis. The lyrics are quite beautiful.
If it takes forever I will wait for you
For a thousand summers I will wait for you
Till you're back beside me, till I'm holding you
Till I hear you sigh here in my arms
Anywhere you wander, anywhere you go
Everyday remember how I love you so
In your heart believe what in my heart I know
That forevermore I'll wait for you
The clock will tick away the hours one by one
Then the time will come when all the waiting is done
The time when you return and find me here and run
Straight to my waiting arms
If it takes forever I will wait for you
For a thousand summers I will wait for you
TIll you're here beside me, till I'm touching you
And forevermore sharing your love
TIll you're here beside me, till I'm touching you
And forevermore I will wait for you
I haven't watched Futurama in a while. Just threw the
dvd in this morning (night, morning whatever) and
that episode played. I always liked the song and
since I was awake I opted to look up the lyrics. Its
a little on the nose, goes along well with that
writing from Thanksgiving though.
I also found it on youtube. Listen to it. Perchance
you'll like it.
I WIll Wait For You
