this is how a crippled gets up

[lyna732]

can someone tell me..what disease that he had..

[bengjie]

@lyna732 i'll be glad to answer that myself :) I have Congenial Muscular Dystrophe

[bengjie]

@indianlady817 =) he knows i was just kidding..bassets are NOT good listeners and kinda do what they want when they want. ..but for the most part he's trained pretty well. .i was yelling "i can do it myself" cause that's what y crippled ass will say to people joking with them. .you know, the whole "i'm too proud to ask for help" thing =) he's a good boy and i agree, he was absolutly worried for me.. he's very in tune with me and he gets all happy and excited when he sees his daddy be strong =)

[Wavewolfaroha]

Ah, Ben--I laughed with you, having been there (on the floor) so many times I've actually figured out the "lift and flip" maneuver you used for myself! I am paralyzed at L3, but the issues of getting up are similar. Gotta laugh, and keep working to get the moves, right?! Just be safe...and keep that sense of humor.

[bengjie]

@Wavewolfaroha Thanks! yes...we GOTTA laugh otherwise we are just gunna fall further from the weight of our depression. besides....it's actually pretty funny on the outside looking in :) Take care!

[tommyballa]

Jævla sugge.sausesuger.....

[druebwake]

this is hilarious! pretty much me when i fall

[bengjie]

@druebwake - thanks! . .sometimes we gotta laugh at ourselves..otherwise, what's the point of being crippled?! =p

[bengjie]

Thanks Natalia! What kind of MD do you have. I have congenital muscular dystrophy.

[thedoors117]

They dont know yet, supouse is... i dont know the english name, is a waist distrophy.

[thedoors117]

Hi, im Natalia, I get up just like you, and is reallt hard, sometimes I cant, I have muscular distrophy too, by the way, great song, is my favorite!!!

[kimarnu]

It is an awfull thing saying that he is facking this and is making fun of injuries.

I hope for people who are making fun of this vid that they never have to go through such a thing and rather stay ignorant of it.

My friend; Making fun of your own condition is a very healthy way to survive. It makes you strong and able to handle it. Bless you.

[bengjie]

THANK YOU!! thank you sooo much.

[ganzobenstehn]

Looks fake.

[tenderlovincare89]

ihave cp as well, i really do hate the word "crippled", i wasborn w/ cerebral plasy and my legs kinda bend when i walk, i was made fun of in fourth grade of my disability

[bengjie]

..yea, growing up with any kind of disability is NOT as easy as getting up off the floor. .i never had any crutches or braces to "tell" that i had anykind of condition..so people..and kids would always make fun of me...i got pushed alot...i fell even more. other kids would walk up to me in elementary school and tell me they wanted to watch me walk..or run..which i cuoldn't. . . .i seen u said you had cp..i have muscular dystrophe. but we definately share a harsh childhood. ...stay strong.

[angie4josh]

my son has cp right side hemiplegia and let me tell you nothing in this world will stop him in life! he is 8 years old and he laughs right back at the bullies.one kid teased him about his leg so he kicked the kid with his right leg and said, see i told you im not crippled. needless to say the boy hasnt teased him since! lol i find that was a very creative response to ignorance! where theres a will theres a way!!!

[quadfather22]

are u a recovering para or just messing around? i hope ur serious because karmas a bitch.

[bengjie]

no i have congenital muscular dystrophey..and yes karma is a bitch.

[ibbi34]

fu cking di ck head!!!

[jamesalma1]

Ben I have known u since 2nd grade and Ive carried your gimp ass all over the place. If u where faking man did I get punked.

[bengjie]

you did get punkd! ah man it was worth it!...but man is Make-a-Wish gunna be pissed.

[mrctonk]

hey ben, it's marci here. just seen ur video and comments and you know what screw all those people who don't believe you!! fuck them assholes! I've known you since grade school and we all know you've always had problems! So I say to you just tell them to fuck off and keep ur head up!! get ahold of me on myspace sometime.

[jenny5311977]

hey ben i asee you are still the same old ben. still making fun of yourself. its funny the people that know you can laugh. anywyas keep on fighting. my son and i were just laughing about how matt used to beat you with popcorn tins on christmas oh the old days. i love how people on here think they are experts they dont know crap!

[bengjie]

lol ah the good ole days.

[stylostef]

Youre not cripple.

I can see you move your legs perfectely..asshole..

DOnt make fun of this kind of injuries..

And the bastard cameraman is laughing all the time..

[bengjie]

what laughing?..there was no cameraman..i set the camera on the top of the couch. . .and i don't have "injuries"..i was born with congenital muscular dystrophe. . .it seems like i'm making fun because i'm making fun of myself..this is how i get up and when normal people see me they get kinda weirded out...so sometimes the best thing to do is to make peole laugh..sometimes it's all i got from making me an angry cripple . oh..and go fuck your mother.

[stylostef]

It just looks weird dude..

Im a pysiotherapist and see this shit often..

Sorry I I have insulted you It just looked like you were making fun of other people..

Dont involve my mother on this..Or I would have to say:

vieze flikker

[bengjie]

ah no worries...sorry about the "go fuck your mother" thing.

[andymoor24]

I dont know what ur goin through man, but by the looks of it, its not good. Dont give up though, even with this problem try live ur life as good as u can. Vaib is right, u are a great fighter. but i fighter must know his limits. if it gets to much for u, i recommend stayin on the floor. like lower a few tables, and only get up when necissary(dno if tht spelt right). im not a doctor so if this is useless info, thts ok.

[kimarnu]

Hi Ben,

This is so familiar to me, I lost a piece of my spinal cord and a thigh muscle.

It's sometimes f* frustating.

keep hanging on dude

[bengjie]

you too my friend!!

[stephaniedowney]

Granted I havent seen you in what 10 years. you wernt faking it then and your sure as hell arnt faking now... sorry you have to deal with crappy people sometimes.

[stephaniedowney]

Hey Ben... I found your page from myspace..... yes I do remember you. I would like to say to all these jerks who dont believe you and are kind of an ass about the fact that you have Muscular dystrophy really need to get a life. I am sorry but saying that someone will stand in judgment someday... what really is the point of that and why would he lie about his name? or is that your way of not looking like a total ass because you think he is faking it?

[bengjie]

.....sorry it took me a while to get to this.....but..Thanks Steph! =0)

[Vaibhav296]

For all of those who don't know. This guy is for real. He has a type of Muscular Dystrophy -a muscle wasting disease that progresses with age. You only get weaker with time and there are some other types where the muscles go so much weak that the heart ceases to function!! Yeah hes not crippled -HE IS A GREAT FIGHTER WHO NEVER GIVES UP!!

Search for Congenital Muscular Dystrophy on Google if you wanna know! Ignorant peeps!!

[bengjie]

=0)

thanks!!!!! ...preach on!

[mikeniemeyer]

You know "BEN" if that is your real name...we will all have to stand in judgment someday before the Creator of the Universe, Almighty God and I fear for your salvation....Repent from your sins today and ask Jesus into your heart...It isn't to late. God Bless you brother and I will be in prayer for your salvation and well being

[alanwolfmoon]

whaaa?

[bengjie]

thank you for your psudeo blessing my friend.

my lord knows me....and i know my lord, as well as i can. .. .. ..i will be judged...and that's why i am me......ME. .. because i will not waste my life that the lord gave me being something less than me... .less than a "character" ...i will not be some "bit-part" player in a bit scene...........i will always be me. and you should have realized that i am this and that the world does not spin around me..but i will spin the world in it's place.

[TiLiteJoel]

i was friends with a guy who has your disability and it was hard for him to get up from a seated position or when he was on the floor. Dont give in keep on living strong!

[bengjie]

thanks man...i've since moved closer to family and have started training myself to basic movements....if that makes sense.

[missoptimistic]

Be healed in the Name of Jesus Christ..

he can heal you, do you believe?

[Pieterfum]

Hello, you are very beauttifall man!

I'd like to see more off you!

[bengjie]

growing up i had to deal with people asking what my problem was or if i was high or drunk as i got older...becuase i walked funny and had no cane, braces or other devices to solidify proof i was disabled. it's great that even "my kind" have judged a book by it's cover even when you SHOULD ALL KNOW that there are many types of disabilaties. I was born with Congenital Musuclar Dystrophe, i walk with a cane and sometimes need more than that. So that being said, i understand& you'll see more proof.

[Chucky13590]

your not even crippled!!

[D3M0N501]

im crippled

[tinaingerfield]

thats bullshit...

[UNDERTAKER730]

MMM THATS NOT EVEN REAL

[oilsucks]

No, I'm truly crippled! I have a hard time believing what's going on in your video. If you have to make fun of people who are crippled, then all I've got to say is: karma is a BITCH!

[oilsucks]

Is that suppose to be funny?

[bengjie]

why? ...did you laugh?
