Just Get In There… Just Try… Just Do Something

Hey you! Hahaha! Hey hey! Hey! In this last episode of Where Are You From? here, John did ask local television anchor and local television host Ashlyn Hill to meet with him, and to think about, or to seriously, seriously wonder about what it may be like for someone to have to work, and work very, very hard to become a fixture or a staple, or a vital, vital and relied upon part or partner within a brand new community or town! Wow! Wow! Wow! And the thoughts and the answers and the responses that did come up, or that were put forth will really, really, really make you think there! Hahaha! Yes! Yes they will! https://www.valleynewslive.com/video-gallery/news/north-dakota-today/ (Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio!) https://youtu.be/wnDuEAtWDso

Hello hello! Ho! Hello straight away, and let us get right down to business huh, ha, or small business here on this episode of this Where Are You From? series with John stopping by Replay Games Downtown Fargo, and chitchatting with owner Cassidy Schnase about some funny, and some nostalgic, and some totally, totally philosophical and ethical, and moral, and community-related or community-based, or sensitive issues or considerations! Gosh! Gosh! Gosh! Like, this entire episode was a huge, huge, huge win for communication, or for communicating our own thoughts and our own values, and for memory, or for remembering, and for not letting go of what it is that is supposed to be so, so very, very, very important to us!

They’re Going to… Sometimes Make You Feel Like… You Don’t Know What’s Best

Hey now! Haha! Hello! Hello! And what a conversation that I was that John did have himself with Cassie Valenzuela, president of the Red River Valley Asperger-Autism Network in Fargo, and a parent of children with their own particular or specific and varying, varying needs! Parenting and protecting our children or our kids was discussed or talked about, yes, yes, and the idea, or the concept or hope and hopes for fairness and equality and opportunity was emphasized as well! And of course, like, of course John and Cassie did ponder what it is that life itself would be like if we all were immediately a little more like Batman y’know! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Ha! What is it that that would be like for sure! https://rrvan.org/ (Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uV4pdsEV7RM

Really Young People Don’t Watch TV

Hi there! Hi! Haha! And hey, hey, hey! Artist and art educator and friend Chelsea Lee did virtually catch up with John some time ago now, while it was so that he was at his apartment in South Moorhead, Minnesota, and the two former classmates and coworkers and collaborators did discuss what fame and what celebrity and what popularity are, and how it is and where it is that they may begin in our society, and how often it is that some of us do chase after them, or seek them out, and try and try and try to be in the spotlight, and be seen! http://chelsealeeartist.com/ (Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio!) https://youtu.be/vzcy7OdjDVk

Where Is That Line Of, Well, This Person Is Frustrated With What I’m Doing So I Have to Change?

Hey hey there now! Ho! Ho! Ho! John and Brian Clark, behavioral specialist and owner of Beyond Behavior did get together at Roasted Rail Coffee House in Dilworth, Minnesota, and the two of them did visit about how special it is and how valuable it is that John is himself, and how aware and how authentic, and how committed and supportive each one of us can be if we do mind our surroundings, and if we do mind our manners, and if we do practice mindful and respectful and kind, kind, kind and active and wise, and fulfilling types of behavior and conduct and methods of expressing ourselves, and interpreting the world and the circumstances around us!

Ideally, People are Free to Express in Any, Like, Space Here

Hey hey! Hey! The director of Plains Art Museum Andy Maus did allow me to and you to down with him, and he and John did converse about the question that is the title of this series, “Where are you from?” And what it is that it can be like to appear to not fit in completely, and not be just like everyone else, and how invisible or unnoticed it can be that some people with physical and with intellectual disabilities can be! And how it is that art itself does not have to be from one place in particular, or from one time or one context, or even from one city, state, or continent! No! No! No, it does not! https://plainsart.org/ (Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio!) https://youtu.be/dWYnX4tagu8
