Finding Nemo was perhaps one of the greatest movies ever. Not only was it simple with a complex moral and story behind it, it was funny, cute, and quotable. And something has always been quoted is her mispronunciation of the word, “escape.” Hence, the title of my blog tonight.
I’ve finally figured out how to get away from the world. I’ve also found that Forrest Gump and I have more in common than I thought.
“That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run. So I ran to the end of the road. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd run to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd just run across Greenbow County. And I figured, since I run this far, maybe I'd just run across the great state of Alabama. And that's what I did. I ran clear across Alabama. For no particular reason I just kept on going. I ran clear to the ocean. And when I got there, I figured, since I'd gone this far, I might as well turn around, just keep on going. When I got to another ocean, I figured, since I'd gone this far, I might as well just turn back, keep right on going.”
How I wish I could run like that. I think if I had the time and no life, I would do that. Running is my high. I run when I’m stressed, I run for fun, I run in the rain, I run in the snow, in the sun, in the grass … I just run. The past few months where I haven’t been able to run, it’s been very difficult to deal with stress. Then, all of this happened and for once, I can run it off. So that’s what I’ve been doing. On Friday, I ran my two miles and had all that soreness the next day, but did I care? Nope, I went and ran again on Saturday, creating more pain. And on Sunday, well that was a not so good day. I went and ran and listened to my iPod, and thought about things, and I was back in my driveway in less than nine minutes. All I could do was think about what was going on, how it made me feel, what it made me want to do. I thought about it all until it flat out pissed me off and so I ran it off. I could feel everything I felt hit that pavement every time I took a stride; every time I lifted my foot off the pavement, I could feel a bit more of a burden being lifted. It sounds so cliché and stupid, but it’s the honest truth. Running releases something in me, it makes me so passionate, so aware of my surroundings, of my thoughts, of my body, of my existence. And I love stepping out to run. I love walking down my driveway to the road where I may have to wait for a car to drive by, but it’s then when I feel invincible. I feel like nothing can touch me, nothing can hurt me, nothing can get anywhere near me because I’m about to run. I’m sure the look on my face is priceless; I’m sure I probably look like a pissed off anorexic with ridiculously muscular legs. But I’m not going to lie, I feel like a real BA. An invincible, BA runner.
It’s been since Thursday. It hurts. What else is new, anyways..
The Part Where You Let Go
(Dan Messe)
When the rain breaks the road
Are you holding on
Are you holding on
To your last good day
When the stone breaks the wheel
Are you holding on
Are you holding on
Til the stone rolls away
And I don't know
Is this the part where you let go
And tumbling out of a window
Is this the part where you find out
I'm there for you
When the sun leaves the field
Are you holding on
Are you holding on
To the last sweet light
When the flame leaves your eyes
I still see you there
I still see you there
On your darkest night
And I don't know
Is this the part where you let go
And sinking under a shadow
Is this the part where you find out
I'm there for you now
As your hand's breaking free
I am holding on
I am holding on
As you've held on to me
And I don't know
Is this the part where we let go
Tumbling out of a window
Is this the part you're there for me
And I don't know
Is this the part where you let go
And sinking under a shadow
Is this the part where you find out
I'm there for you
You find out I'm there for you
You find out I'm there for you
Half Asleep
(Dan Messe)
I want to tell you
I've watched the waves
That wake the sea
The lightning that wakes up the ground
And my heart has been half asleep inside of me
It wakes up when you come around
I want to tell you I've watched the moon
That trips the tide
The shadows that trip on the tree
And I'm wearing a blindfold, a shoelace untied
I'm steady when you're next to me
I've been half asleep all of my life
Lost in the dark of some perilous night
Is that you or some beautiful light
Finally coming around
And my heart has been half asleep all of my life
It wakes up when you come around
It wakes up when you come around
