The Entity IV: A Reflection of Time

The Entity IV: A Reflection of Time

Sitting on the waters edge
You see a reflection of time
Like a pictureshow
I let you know
This isn't body, just mind

I see through it all
As you watch on the waters edge
A mind in a dream
A dream in a mind
In a world you haven't seen

It draws to an end
As the waves roll in
To a sin with a green sky
You look up in suprise
As you come back to reality

Chances

Chances

Give me a second chance
That's one before three
Just a second chance
A time to see

You know the story
We've all been here before
Thing about it
The choose a door

No time for fun
The walls close in
Make your choice
Maybe you'll win

Get caught up in reality
Spend some time
Go chase a dream
Drop in a line
When you reach that dream
Now your back in a reality
It's time to go on
—Chance three

Lost Time

I don't rent a lot of movies —maybe 1-2 a month, but it's pretty much become a must on Saturday nights lately as there is absolutely nothing on to watch.  (Bear in mind that I only have basic-basic local channel cable.)  The past three weeks have been a brutal marathon of running around for my wife and I because her mother has been in and out of the hospital…another story unto itself.  So in an effort to spend some time together and decompress I figured I'd stop and get a movie on my way home from the hospital Saturday evening.  I figured I'd find a comedy as we could certainly use a laugh right now.  With the weather being as shitty as it was this weekend, the video store was pretty well tapped out of all of the new releases.  It was somewhat comical to listen to people groan about there being nothing to rent.  No, there's plenty to rent it's just that you've been renting to often!  So for me it was just a matter of cruising around and picking something because there's lots that we haven't seen.  So I'm looking around for something "just right" and heard a couple of people commenting on how funny Napoleon Dynamite was.  I kept looking and finally found something…which must have been a good choice because I don't recall what it was that this point.  So as I was making my way to the counter when I heard another guy who appeared to be a few years old than me raving to an employee and another customer how hysterical this movie is.  So instead of staying the course, I returned the movie I had an went and grabbed a copy of Napoleon Dynamite.  Yeah, a relaxing evening of movie fun!

Once the kiddies were all settled in for the evening it was on with the movie.  I told my wife basically what you just read, but that I was still concerned that I was going to regret my choice.  And the verdict?  Well, it had a few pretty funny moments, but all in all I'd just assume have that 90 minutes of my life back!  ARGH!
