Jurassic Bark

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
