Motivation

As I wait in the car for my mom...




I saw an old man yesterday, 7/2/09, at 8:22 pm...









...He had no legs...






...That's why I run. Because he can't...


Do something for someone you may not even know and it feels so good inside...But if anything, do it because you can...

Runnin' In The Rain

So today, it started off splendid! ... Cross practice was in a total downpour! But I wont lie, I liked it a lot =]] I love to run in the rain, although biking isn't as fun as running in it is...too much rain in my face and what not.

I guess I'm writing this so i can look back in a few months when I miss all of this and can remember how splendid it was =]

Who else is gonna miss this time right now? Or am I alone!? Lol

Your Eyes

Kaitlin, I wrote this song for you for our two year anniversary. It was my gift to you, and as the paper wears and tears, it becomes ever more obvious that I need to make a digital copy. There is a guitar part to accompany it, and I assure you, you will hear it in full when you are ready and want to. This is your song, about you and I, and I can only hope that it will bring as much joy reading it, and someday hearing it, that it did to me in all the hours I put into it. =]

Your Eyes

[Chorus]

Baby, don't close your eyes

Embrace what's inside, it's real.

Baby, please do not cry,

I want to do something, special.

Baby, look in my eyes

Tell me you don't see a future.

Lady, you have my heart,

Lets dance the night away.

I remember all those days

Should of never walked away

Kiss my hand and blow away

All the tears from the day.

Baby girl now cant you see

Me and you were meant to be

Take my hand and stay with me

Together we will see eternity

[Chorus]

Two short years have passed by now

I still try and think of how

Will you please just take a bow

Look at all we have right now.

I will spend all my life

Making you my happy wife

Lasting through every strife

It will never cut with a knife

[Sax/Guitar Solo]

All the memories we have made

All the hours we have paid

They will surely never fade

Baby our lives are made.

Sweetie look at me and see

I'm down here on my knee

Giving you my every plee

Sweetie will you marry me?

[Chorus]

[Short Sax Solo]

I Love You

I'm not sure what else to say right now, so ill end it on that note.

Yours,

Running Poem

Cross Country

We’re running and running as fast as we can

No one to look to or to reach out a hand.

The hills are approaching and looking mighty ferocious

Our shoes all muddy and mighty atrocious.

We look to the finish and see our team,

The only ones still waiting, smiling with a beam.

Yeah we’re stupid and yeah we’re gay

But look at our friends…ok they are pretty gay…

But gay or not, we’ve all made it through,

And now we’re sitting here, re-lacing our shoe.

There’s no need to explain, no need to wonder

We have some great coaches, the almighty plunder.

Yes, plunder is right, for we be mighty pirates,

And I’m putting this line here because nothing rhymes with pirates…

At cross country camp, we come together as one,

To explore each other, until the knot is finally done.

This knot will bind us to our dying day on earth,

So that we’re brothers and sisters, from our timely birth.

So let’s run and run, as fast as we can,

Cuz running is horrible, but we’re all a fan.

Running...

It's my favorite thing in the world to do, and now im stuck with Megatron (my air cast) on my leg for two weeks and i cant run for god knows how long. This is oh so depressing, especially at the very beginning of XC season...

Grr...

- I hate stupid doctors who cant read x-rays...i mean come on! I saw something wrong on it!!!

- I do like doctore who actually know what they're doing, and treat/diagnois me well =]

- I hate MRI machines. Why do they take so longgggg!!!!

- I hate my legs...

- I'm still gonna be there for my teams. XC and Triathlon crew, im not gonna leave ya in the dust. Just don't leave me in it.

So that's my life right now...No running...only biking and swimming...and of course i don't have a CFC pass so i can really go in there...even though i am an athlete...and i go to the dang school....

Life

I'snt it swell? Life that is. Well i guess its not all the time. Recently school has ended, and i see that freeing up more time for me to write =] I like to write, it lets me release, i just havent been able to type everything lately lol. Life can be hard at times. Recently it has been hard for me. Very hard. But im trying to move on, forget about it for now, and hope that something new and better comes along, even if only for a little while. Cross Country has just started, and go figure, my leg is still a piece of dump. So all ive been doing is biking...A lot...like 15-20 miles a day. And of course its good for my triathlon training, (i have a triathlon in July), but still, i Love running, and i miss it =[

I guess as crappy as life can get sometimes, someone is always there to pick you up. To my friends, I Love you guys and i am not to sure where i'd be without you all right now. It's been rough lately and have had a lot of help from a lot of people, some more then others. Id like to thank Alex, Tom, Marissa, Mary, Kristin, Donna and Jennifer. You guys have helped me so much recently, and i really couldnt have made it through this tough time without your help.

More then anyone, though, i want to thank my dad. Until recently, i had such a hard time understanding what i did wrong. But he took some time out of his day to write me a lenghty email at work, and it really made me see the light. Because it seemed like he had been down the road before. He has given me hope when there really didnt seem to be any at all.

"Your life will go on Beej. Things will get better. It will take some time, in all likelihood, and it will take some work. Above everything else, remember your respect for her and your respect for yourself. Keep your head up high and roll with the punches."

It really did help me, and im not so sure why. But it made sense to me, and i appreciated it so much. It may have brought a tear or two to my eye thinking about everything, but i appreciated it.

I guess the point to this post it to tell everyone that life does go on and that there is always a brighter side. Somewhere, someone cares about you, even when they may be the unlikliest person or the last one you expect. The journy of life is a long and winding path, but through the strength and knowledge of you AND your friends, it will be overcome. But one must always remember to keep their friends close, because they are the ones who will be there in your time of need. Never stray to far from them, because i have learned that at some point you will need them. And luckly, my friends were there. No matter what the world may throw at us at times, our friends will help us through it. That is, our real friends.

I cannot say i do not miss it, because it would be the biggest lie of my life. But im trying to have fun and not think about it. All i can do is hope and pray that it will get better. And i believe that it will get better in the near future, and some day be back to the way it was.

Yours,

BJ Nelson
