The Christianville Spirit: What I Think When I go to The Airport

So, I’ve been thinking about something that I think about when I go to an Airport. Where most people just think you go to, to get from Point A to Point B but, I think about it a different way. These thoughts start when I’m standing at the Airport waiting to go through security. My theory is that when you pass through the metal detector at security that you aren’t officially in The State and City that you are leaving. Like for example if you are at the airport in New York City, You’re no longer in New York City or New York State. My next theory is when your about to get on the plane from the walkway, your not on the State’s ground anymore. Now, my thoughts are different when you arrive into another airport, I’m going to use Dallas-Fort Worth Intl’ for my example. So, after you landed and you get off the plane, as your foot steps from the plane to the walkway, you have touched the ground of Texas. Then, after you’ve gotten into your car and drive along the airport road which in Dallas is called International Pkwy. There is a toll booth that you go through and at that point, you are officially in Texas. So, A little joke came to my mind before writing this and here it is. “So, this guy goes to The Airport and pays the baggage fee for his 1st bag. Well, The Ticket Counter Person says “You look Depressed” he says “I am” and The Ticket Counter Person says to him “Well, you’ll have to pay for the extra baggage!” All in all, this is how I see it and what I think about when I go to The Airport.

The Christianville Spirit: The Buried Life

So, A couple weeks ago, I was watching a Movie on TV when I saw a commercial that interested me, it was a show about 4 young guys who created a list of 100 things that they wanted to do before they die and along the way, while making their dreams come true, they would help others do what they wanted to do before they die. Anyway, this show was actually on MTV. Now, before I get to the show I’m going to give you a brief history of MTV. First off, MTV was a channel to watch your favorite Music Videos. Until they started to add Reality Shows (which by the way, they still have) and, then recently they started to add a more sensitive touch to it instead of the normal reality shows or shows that are raunchy; it started with a show called how’s Your News? Which starred people with various special needs and then, that show unfortunately ended? And, now we have this show touching called The Buried Life. Like I said before, this is show about 4 young men who do 100 things that want to do before they die. Now, this question that this show is themed around, what do you want to do before you die has various answers. Like for example, asking out The Girl of Your Dreams, Have a Baby, Meet Your Soulmate, go somewhere you have been dreaming of going, or face your biggest fear. The list go on, The sky is the limit. So, writing this newsletter can’t go without asking that Life-Defying Question, What do you want to do before You Die? Me? Here are some of my things…
Go to Switzerland to see the pretty Alp Mountains
Stay or live in a wood cabin
Live closer to Family
Teach people about Potocki-Lupski Syndrome and how it makes me, me
Meet a couple celebrities like Sandra Bullock, Katherine Heigl, Selena Gomez, Jennifer Garner, and Oprah
Meet My Soulmate
Travel The United States and Europe
Maybe even live in Europe for a while
Give at least one homeless person, a home
So, those are some of the things on My “Bucket List”. All in all, I think that you should think of all the things that you want to do and do them.

The Christianville Spirit: The Key to Life,Your Purpose

Do you know the reason of what gets you up in the morning and go to work? Is it just to make money? Just to pay the bills? Or maybe because it’s your purpose? Ok, so my friends I know you’re asking, what is Purpose? Well, I’m going to tell you. Purpose, as I mentioned is that one thing that actually gets you up in the morning, head to work, and sometimes make you not mind sitting in Traffic for 2 hours. But, mainly Purpose is the one thing that makes you happy with your life and lets you feel like your doing things right. But, unfortunately most people spend their lives searching for it. Now, there are many things that have a purpose that we may not notice. Like, here’s one of my favorites, why do they have Road Signs? And the answer is to tell you where to go or where you’re at. And, of course to warn you of something going on ahead on the highway; or here’s another one, Why are there Subtitles on the TV? The reason for that is so, the people who are deaf, hard-of-hearing, or someone like me who wants to hear exactly what their saying so, that when someone says something that is funny, I know what the joke is about. Anyway though, everyone on This Earth has some kind of purpose, they don’t just know it. Instead they go to work every morning and deal with it, they enjoy what their doing because it’s what their supposed to be doing. Do you know what your purpose in life is? As for me, my purpose is to show people how I see the world, maybe inspire people and teach them about me and Potocki-Lupski Syndrome. And, show them that people with Special Needs can have strengths and a Purpose on Earth. All in all, though as you are reading this, realize that you have a purpose on earth, just look in your heart, it’s there.


Thanks for Reading The Christianville Spirit. Once you find your purpose, go for it and be happy!

The Christianville Spirit: Happy New Year 2010

Hello everyone and Welcome Back to another exciting year of Newsletters to Inspire you. But, first off, Happy New Year! And Welcome to 2010. I believe 2010 will be an awesome year for you and all of us here at The Christianville Spirit. So, to start off this year I’m going to write about the song they play at the very beginning of the year, “Auld Lang Syne”. So, for the past several years; I asked in my mind, what does this song mean? And Every New Years, it’s sung and I didn’t know what it meant. But the thing is it means different things to different people. For some people it means that you should completely forget what happened in the past year and move on to the New Year. For Other People, it means you go through your friends and events list. Then, picks which ones you want to get rid of. And, of course, there are people who had such a bad year, they want to forget EVERYTHING that year and really can’t wait to scream, Happy New Year! So, those are a just a couple of meanings to that song. So, here’s what the song means to me. This story goes back to when I was in about 7th Grade when I had to take a Figurative Language Class and they taught me the saying “Wipe the Slate Clean” and I asked if it applied to New Years and, well it stuck. So, every New Year’s I do my normal things like take down my Christmas stuff; write a year-in-review, and many others. But, when I get to say Happy New Year, I wipe my slate of whatever negative things happened, something I just don’t want to remember, or something I did wrong. I wipe it all clean and can’t wait to begin the New Year. And, I’m only kidding here. But, nothing is funnier and my New Years isn’t complete until hearing Lake Superior State University’s list of overly used and banned words for the next year. And, yes a lot of them are pretty funny. So, all in all that’s what I believe that this songs; what does it mean to you?


Thanks for reading the Christianville Spirit. New Years is starting the year off right, don’t start it the wrong way.
