I know this might sound a little strange, but my mom keeps telling me that im related to Christian. I keep trying to find a way to see if this is true. I cant find a internet site thats just his where i can talk directly to him, so this is the close i can get. I doubt if he even reads these comments. But if he does i would like to get an answer. Thank You!
