How Much of Human Life is Lost in Waiting?

And so, here I lay, waiting, ever waiting. I'm bound to be able to walk down the stairs sooner or later. I was watching the Truman Show. I forgot that was my favorite movie. Here are some memorable quotes, Truman Burbank: Somebody help me, I'm being spontaneous!
and Christof: Cue the sun! and this one was good Truman Burbank: Was anything real? Christof: You were real. That's what made you so good to watch... This one my freshmen English teacher had a field day with Christof: We accept the reality of the world with which we are presented. But now, I am going to go pee, wish me luck; and in case I dont see ya, Good Afternoon, Good Evening, and Good Night. *throws up arms to form a cross, and exits stage left* (sniff)

John, that's one of my favorites too! When I was in 7th grade me and Betsy Newman (wait... Suza) watched that at least 363 times. At least.
