The Pros Go-To Baits When NOTHING Else Works | Bass Fishing - Duration: 7:09.
Glenn: Hey, folks.
Glenn May here with BassResource.com, and today I'm asking the elite pros questions
that you submitted on our forums.
Let's see what they have to say.
Next question is from George Greebe from Davie, Florida.
He says, "When fishing gets really tough in a tournament, and you have tried almost everything
in your arsenal, what's the one confidence bait you turn to?"
Kevin VanDam: Well, there's never just one bait.
You know, for me, I wanna look at the conditions that I have.
You know, the water clarity, the time of the year, the habitat type, the depth, and I'm
trying to pick lures that are the most efficient for that set of conditions that I have on
a given day.
So, to say I have one go-to bait when everything else has failed is not really the case.
I'm gonna use what I think is the most efficient to cover the water that's in front of me,
based on the conditions that I have.
Glenn: Now, how do you get that confidence?
Kevin: Really it comes through experience.
You know, we all have our own confidence bait.
So, like, for me, in clear water when things get real tough like that, I know if I got
to be able to cover water and be efficient, a jerk bait's a go to bait.
Well, this...next guy over here Casey Ashley it may be a jig, or a shaky head or something
like that.
There's no one answer for every situation.
You know, there's always multiple ways to catch the bass, but you have to have confidence
in what you're doing.
So, you know, that comes through experience.
Glenn: What's the one confidence bait you turn to?
Brand Palaniuk: I would say one bait that I feel like I can always get bit on is gonna
be a drop shot.
No matter where we're at in the country, almost every single water condition other than maybe
a just super dirty muddy nasty situation where those fish can't see anything, I would say
90% of the time a drop shot is gonna be my go-to.
The reason being I can apply a lot of different weights for different situations and depths.
I can also change the bait, whether it's a seven-inch Zoom Trick worm, a Swamp Crawler
that's a little smaller, all the way down to a Zoom Z-Drop.
I can apply those across different situations and different conditions to be able to get
bit as well as color.
So, you can take a drop shot and do a lot of different things with it to be able to
apply it to where you're efficient.
Glenn: What is the one confidence bait you turn to?
Gerald Swindle: 3/8 ounce ballhead jig made by Buckeye.
It's just a ball headed jig with a 4/0 Gamakatsu hook in there.
I usually throw brown and green.
Ninety-nine percent of the time it's just a base color and then I use the Zoom green
pumpkin twin tail or Z-Crawl trailer.
That's my confidence bait, so when I get backed against the wall and I'm gonna struggle, I'm
gonna struggle with what I feel the most confident in that I can make something happen.
Glenn: Now, what makes that bait so versatile?
Gerald: It's just something I've throwed forever.
You know, I can throw it and reel it, I can burn it down a retaining wall, I can skip
it under a dock, I can cast it 25-foot-deep in a brush pile, but when I've got that in
my hand I feel like I can do everything, still be productive, and if there's a fish there
I believe I can catch him.
Glenn: And that's the real key actually.
When the fishing's really tough, you have to have confidence in what you're fishing
in.
Geral: You have to have the ultimate confidence in what you're fishing.
You can't ever second-guess or doubt what you're doing.
So, to me, fall back on whatever that bait is.
Fall back on your confidence and then ride with it.
Glenn: What's the one confidence bait you turn to?
Justin Lucas: It's gonna be a six-inch...six and a quarter inch Berkely Havoc Bottom Hopper
on a shaky head, drop shot, or whacky rig.
One of those three.
I mean, when I'm struggling I'm pulling out the spinning rod.
It happened at the Potomac River last year.
I pulled it out and ended up winning that tournament.
So, you know, it's one of those things that as we start to get more people involved in
the sport and there's more pressure on these lakes than ever before, I think a spinning
rod is becoming a bigger factor and I tend to pull it out a little bit quicker than everybody
else.
Glenn: What would you say to folks that are like, "Ahh, I hate spinning gear.
I'm never gonna throw that."
Justin: You're missing out.
And I don't care.
If you don't wanna throw a spinning rod, don't throw it.
Because it just helps me.
So, that's what I tell them.
People that refuse to throw one, that's fine.
I mean, not gonna hurt my feelings.
Glenn: But your confidence bait is on a spinning rod
Justin: If the world ended tomorrow I would grab a spinning rod, a bunch of worms, and
I head for the hills.
Like, I know I could go catch fish on that and survive.
So, that's my number one right there.
Glenn: Perfect.
Great answer.
Glenn: What's that one confidence bait you turn to?
Jason Christie: If I'm fishing shallow, not only confidence bait, but confidence technique,
if I can pick up a flipping stick, I feel like that I've already...
If I'm struggling I'm probably gonna pick up a flipping stick if there's something that
I can flip.
For one, I think you're getting that reaction bite.
That fish is not gonna choose whether he bites or not.
If he's there, he's probably gonna bite, and as far as a bait, we have a new bait that
came out, I think, three years ago and I designed it.
It's called a Christie Critter.
I guarantee you, you can open that rod locker right there and not only will I tell you that
there's at least two rigged up.
I bet you they're lying on the top where they get accessed first.
So, that's absolutely my confidence bait.
Glenn: Even with cold fronts, and, let's say, the water temp has dropped 10-15 degrees that's
what you pull out?
Jason: Yup.
I mean, you know, we're talking about the big picture not a specific.
Obviously, if the water temperature dropped to 40 degrees, I'm probably not gonna pick
up a Christie Critter, but day in and day out, you know, normal spring and summer events,
I'm gonna pick up something that I know if that fish sees it he's gonna eat it.
Glenn: And confidence is the key to all of this.
Jason: Confidence is the key not only to this, this sport, all sports.
I mean confidence is...I mean...the boys that walk up and ask the girls if they wanna go
to a date got to have confidence.
And I didn't have a lot of that because I wasn't the prettiest guy on the street.
Chris Zaldain: I'm a west coast guy.
George.
Drop shot or a little wacky rig.
I mean, I don't care if the water's dirty like here in Conroe or you can see down 15
feet.
If I'm struggling out there, I'm not afraid to break out the six-pound test line, a little
six foot ten mega bass spinning rod, and a 2500 series spinning reel, and fishing like
a weightless wacky rig.
Sometimes even a four-inch worm, but most of the time it's a five or six-inch weightless
worm just pitched to the most obvious piece of cover.
Yeah, a guy may have went down that stretch or that dock with a spinnerbait or crankbait,
but I feel like I can go in behind guys with a little wacky rig or little drop shot rig
and just sit there, and shake that worm, and talk that fish into biting.
Glenn: Great technique.
Great follow up technique too.
Chris: Yeah.
Absolutely.
Glenn: And there you have it.

Trump blames Obama for Mike Flynn scandals - Duration: 1:55.
Trump blames Obama for Mike Flynn scandals
by Kyle Feldscher
President Trump on Monday blamed former national security adviser Mike Flynn's transgressions
on President Obama, because Flynn had his security clearance renewed by the previous
administration after he took money from foreign governments.
"General Flynn was given the highest security clearance by the Obama administration � but
the Fake News seldom likes talking about that," Trump tweeted.
Flynn, who was fired as the leader of the Defense Intelligence Agency by Obama in 2014,
is in hot water for lobbying for the Turkish government and taking money from the Russian
government to speak at an event after he left government, without clearing it first with
the government.
The Constitution requires those payments to be approved, and Congress has authorized the
Departments of State and Defense to make those judgments.
The Obama administration did renew his security clearance in 2016, and Trump made Flynn a
top aide on his campaign and then named him his national security adviser.
Trump and his team have been criticized for not catching any of the red flags about Flynn
during the vetting for his White House role.
But the White House has cast the blame on Obama and argued they didn't do as much vetting
on Flynn because he had already received a security clearance from the previous administration.
Flynn was fired after lying to Vice President Mike Pence about the nature of his conversations
with the Russian ambassador to the United States during the

Nose Shave Biopsy Results in a Brown Noser | Auburn Medical Group - Duration: 4:46.
hey thanks for joining us this is my
friend Jerry and he comes in with some
skin lesions we're gonna evaluate we're
gonna be able to get a biopsy of this
things growing on your nose that
sometimes you can scratch off yeah but
this one on your ear how long has it
been growing at least a year okay when
we do things last had it looked at and
had it frozen it's been about a year had
it frozen seemed to respond to getting
frozen but for a short time
something grew back yeah so in my
estimation and I showed the picture to
dr. Dwayne we agree it looks like a type
of cancer called squamous cell carcinoma
skin cancer not the bad type of skin
cancer like malignant melanoma the
spreads everywhere it doesn't look like
that but should be operated further
we'll refer you to dr. crowler who's
done work on some of our patients and is
that actually on a video doing a
procedure not to it like he would
probably do for this so we'll
communicate with them and find out about
getting me set up with them as far as
lesion on the nose we don't know for
sure we're going to shave it off and
send it off and get some pathology back
do you mind if I put in the description
in the video the results okay now help
people this is okay and we'll tell you
first important okay all right you ready
okay just hold still because this is bad
I'll just stay out of province bad I
don't know how you're holding that still
I think at this point it might start to
be getting a little less painful a
little more tolerable not that bad hmm
well we are using some buffer in the
medicine so it's not as stinky tiny tiny
needle I inject slowly because it hurts
less if you inject slowly some people
have this idea that the priority is get
the anesthetic and as quick as they can
so it'll start numbing and you've
probably done this before that hurts
when they do that I had that done to me
once so you've got to be white area on
the tip of your nose from the medicine
that's in it called epinephrine which we
used to know yeah yeah yeah because it
pushes the blood out and closes the
blood vessels a little bit let me switch
hands on this now this is the worst part
of this that's right worst part of this
is you can completely see what I'm doing
we'll worry that close
slips kind of hold the nose steady with
the forceps
the crab
I will have to have you close your eyes
for this part cuz I don't want this that
it dries whatever it touches okay let's
see how it's coming here you can
actually open your eyes and we're going
to have you in order to get some that
powder off actually close your eye while
I have you turn onto your right side so
this is just going to kind of flake off
onto the paper or not you kind of yeah
you already got the X rays go ahead and
sit up sideways or sideways move
sideways and sit up let me flick some of
that spot a blood off
so the idea of this is so that you don't
have to have band-aid that you're just
going to keep bleeding into right and
it'll flake off as a scab would we have
some discharge instructions for taking
care of it after you get out hey guys
thanks so much for watching I wanted to
let you know that Jerry will be back in
the next video for getting that lesion
completely removed I spoke with the
surgeon
I spoke with Jerry and the agreement was
that we would actually do a shave biopsy
in our office we'll explain it in the
future video so be sure to watch that I
do need to thank Lindsay antwine booboo
Kitty and Petra Rosenberg thank you so
much for those patrons and if you want
to be on patreon please do click on the
link to be able to participate on these
videos and also to get something behind
the scenes footage until next time dr.
Marc Vaughn telling you to stay in good
health

How to make three useful Patterns - Duration: 16:43.
hi everyone welcome to my channel my
name is MaiLee and today I'm gonna show
you guys how to make three simple
pattern that you will use a lot so I
hope you guys would enjoy this video
subscribe if you guys are new to my
channel and let me know what else you guys
would like to see. So let's go
For our first
pattern I'm going to show you guys how
to make a regular shirt pattern is just
a regular shirt you could make a tank
top, a regular t-shirt or anything. I use
this the most. if you guys haven't
noticed but this is very simple so I'm
gonna show you guys how to make this one first.
so first we are going to take the
measurement of your shoulders, so from
the middle of your chest to the end of
your shoulders. so just mark that at the
top here and then put a dot. so make sure
you put your dot and then now we're
going to measure from your shoulder down
under your bust, so basically where the
armpit area will be. so right under your
armpit, basically and then you mark that
down so you'll be going sideways and up
and down. and then mark you're dot.
And than now
we are going to measure you want to do
where your nipple is. Yes and then just
measure around the bust divide this by 4
because we are going to do this one
piece that's going to be cut on fold so
divide by 4 and then do mark your spot
so now you're going to do the
measurement of from your armpit area to
your waistline so the thinnest part on
your body that is on you of course and
then you will mark that down so your
go from the armpit you know your last
measurement from the armpit the last dot down
and then you do another dot
right there and then the next one you will
measure around your waist and divided by
four and then you will mark this on that
same level of the other dot okay, so I'm
just showing you guys step by step so
this should be where your waistline is
the smallest part of your waist or your
body and then you'll mark that dot how
long or how wide it is and then now
you're going to do your hip and divided by
four and measure and then just do from
your waist. Don't forget to measure from
your waist to your hip and Mark that
also, so there should be on each
measurement there should be two dots you
guys see how I have two dots right there
see and then so you have a width dot and
a length dot. so now you're just going
to curve that top so that top is where
your shoulder is and then just curve it
down to you where your armpit is and
then just go down to your waist and then
go down to your hip and you can always
make this shorter if you like your
shirts to stop a little bit shorter you
could stop a little bit shorter but I
like to make it long because sometimes I
like to make you longer shirt too so
that's that and then I just add like a
quarter of an inch seam allowance on
this because you don't want to forget
when you are doing your fabric so I'm
just doing my seam allowance right on my
pattern so it would be a lot easier then
you know trying to remember the next
time you actually do it so I'm just
going ahead and do this and then this is
just a quarter of the pattern that you
have okay, so you will cut this on fold
and you will cut this for a front and a
back piece so basically
so basically you just cut the neck hole
like the neck hole will just be
different like in the back I will just
go straight and then in the front I will
bring it down and just remember to do it
on fold so you always just want to fold
your fabric and um you know trace and
cut so that's it for that
so for our next pattern
we're going to make a sweetheart
neckline bodice so for the first
measurement you're going to get is from
the middle of your chest to where your
nipple is and I got that measurement and
that is going to be the width of this
fabric (pattern) so I'm just going to mark that
and then I'm just going to go back and
measure the roundness of my boob so
basically the top to the bottom and then
I'm going to mark that and I also going
to mark the length of the bodice that I
want and Mark that also so there should
be two marks going downwards the mark of
the roundness of your boobs and then the
mark of the length of your bodice like
however long you want then now we're
going to go and measure the waistline
well yeah so we're going to do the
middle of... we're going to start from the
middle and then measure from where your
nipple is down and that will be what you
get. Mine was just only an inch apart so
I don't know it just depends on how
different you are and then now I just
mark that on the bottom and I do my
curve so how I draw this is I curve it
at the top a little bit and then you
know meet it out where the nipple is and
then curve it back down to the
measurement I got of my waist so
basically that inch difference then I
just traces straight down to the length
of my bodice and then at the top here
I'm just going to curve it down to my
sweetheart tracing so basically you
could go down deeper if you wanted lower
you know however much cleavage you want
and just curve this a little bit the
bigger... the bigger your boobs are the
more curves you want to put in this and
the smaller your boob is the less curve
you want in this and then I just make
sure I write it on there because you
want to remember that
it's you know front piece back piece so
make sure you curve that because it will
lay on your body better and then I just
go straight down to where I want this to
stop and then I just stop right there
and then the next piece we will measure
from the nipple to the side to where
your arm starts so you're just going to
stop right where your arms stop okay so
from the middle of your boob to where
your arms stop so that's your
measurement for this and then you're
just going to mark that down and that will
be the width of this pattern this time
so that's how you get the width of this
pattern and the right measurement of it
then I would just make a triangle (rectangle)
all the way down so the length of my
pattern all the way and this will be
your actual pattern before we put all in
the curves because you want that width,
the widest width to make that curve
right and don't forget to add seam
allowance and now I'm just going to
measure the curve of my boobs at the top
to the bottom and then the length of the
bodice that I want and then after measuring
that I actually measured the bottom here
too so just to go down from your nipple
to your waist and then go to the side
where your arm rest. just right where your
arm rests not under your arm okay and
then you just do this measurement so
what you do now is you will do another
bubble for..I mean another bubble (confused) another dot
of the length of your boobs like from
the top to the bottom and then the width
will be that width that you got from your
waist line so basically mine is like
half an inch apart
now you just curve that bottom piece to
the top to meet the nipple and then now
you just curve the top again just a
little bit. so they should be even so the
curve should be even you guys see how
it's kind of meeting so next you're
going to do the measurement for the top
here so you just measure from your
nipple and then go up and then where you
want to stop so this is basically the
top and this is the other side of the
sweetheart neckline
so you just mark where you want to stop
it and then you just do that diagonal
line right there so I just did that
diagonal from the top of my bodice down
basically that five inches so the lower
you do it the lower it will be under
your armpit and the better it will fit
so the higher you do it it will poke at
your armpit so just remember doing when
you do that diagonal line up and then
now we're going to do this side so
you're just going to do from where you
stopped last time if you want you could
pin on your mannequin or you know mark
somewhere that you know where you
stopped so I just basically measure from
side to side this is basically your side
like your whole side so this is what I
measure my whole side right here and
basically your whole side is where your
arm rest so that's where I measure and
then that's what I'm doing and I'm just
measuring how long the side of my bodice
there is first so that's how long I'm
going to do it because that's how long
it's going to be from the armpit down
and then that's it. it's very simple the
sides in the back are very simple to do
the front is just the hardest piece to do if
you are new at this so I hope I
explained it good enough if I don't let
me know down there below what I can help
you guys with and then now we're just
going to do the back and you just start
from that side seam all the way to the
back and don't go all the way around
just go so you see where your arm is so
you just start right where your
arm end so if you want you could just
put your arm down and measure where your
arm you know end at your back and then
you just go to the middle of your back
and that will be the measurement of the
width of the back that you want and then
you just do the length of the same
length as the other one and so that's
that and just make sure that you label
all your pieces so when you cut it out
you don't mistake any pieces because
they do look alike once they're cut out
so now we're just going to do the circle
skirt and you just measure your waist
and divided by 6.28 and then you just add half an
inch to whatever that is and I don't
want to go through the whole math thingy
migiggy with you guys because it's
just to complicate it just do it this
way it's much simpler if you know less
headache just do your waist divided by 6.8 and
then you get this length and then this
will be the top of your skirt I'm just
telling guys don't even bother about the
math and all the other math and how to
explain it to you guys and whatever else
is just too complicated just do it the
easy way I tell you guys okay your life
will be a lot easier to make circle
skirts and then I just use my wash
bottle I put it on my tape measurement
and then I just put my marker like the
side of it of where my measurement and
then I just go around you know and then
it should make like a quarter of of curve
here so this should make a quarter of
your skirt so if you're going to cut
this into pieces it will cut into four
different pieces and to get this bottom
measurement is just um however long you
want your skirt. So if you want your
shorter you could do it shorter if you
want a longer you could do it longer
I've always done my pattern on cardboard
paper because I can keep them a lot
longer and they will last a lot longer
and they will ripped on you and stuff so
I just do it on... I mean not cardboard
paper, poster paper I don't know why
I said cardboard paper, yes and so
if you want you can add if you want it
longer you can add another piece of
poster paper on the side over there just
tape it up and then make it longer if
you want you know it just depends on you
how short and how long you want your
skirt to be and yes you do poster paper
it makes your life so much easier so you
don't have to worry about ripping and
redoing it I've been using my shirt
pattern
or like five years now so it's it's
really worth it. if you guys haven't
watched my hack on this I did a hack of
me using poster paper, yeah it's one of
my hack by sewing hack because I love
using poster paper for my patterns if I
find a pattern I love I will cut it onto
poster paper because it will last a lot
longer than those tissue paper pattern
that it comes with you know and then I'm
going to show you guys how I cut my
dress I mean my skirt also so I do you
see how it's folded and then I just fold
it again so there's four and then the
top there is folded and then so I just
put my skirt on the two folded side so
the top is folded and then the left side
there is folded also so this will give
me a whole circle skirt instead of
having to have four pieces or two pieces
so it doesn't have any size seam if I do
it this way and this is... you can only do
it like this if you are pretty short so
I'm pretty sure I'm like five feet so
that's why I'm able to do it this way so
yeah I just put it on here and then I
just measure and cut so if you do want a
little bit longer you're gonna have to
have two pieces or four pieces it's okay
to have side seams and stuff yes
it's no big Deal
so you just measure and cut and
don't forget you're seam allowance and
I forgot on this circle skirt pattern to
put seam allowance on it so if you
forget to put it on your pattern, make
sure you write it down so when you
actually make your clothes you don't
forget to put your seam allowance okay
guys
well I hope you guys like those
three patterns and you guys will put it
to good use I use those patterns the most
oh so I thought I decided to share with
you guys so if you guys did like this
video give it a thumb up on the bottom
there just thumb up and if you guys
haven't subscribed go ahead and hit that
subscribe button over here right and I
will talk to you guys all later so don't
forget to measure, cut, and sew bye guys

This Video Exposes The Lie We Live - Duration: 12:12.
This Video Exposes The Lie We Live
I often ask people, �What would you be doing if there was no such thing as money?� Some
people will answer along the lines of, �That would be impossible to fathom� or look at
me as if I�m crazy without realizing how trapped within the system that they have become.
Would the fry cook at McDonald�s still be making french fries if there was no such thing
as money? Probably not, but he or she might be doing something in the culinary arts field
or in agriculture to help feed others.
If you take money out of the equation, it will give you a good idea of why you�re
here and what you should be doing with your life. Many people will say, �If there was
no such thing as money, then I�d travel a lot� or they might say, �I�d party
all day� but after traveling and partying, most people would eventually want to do something
the contributes to society.
If there was no such thing as money, I�d grow a large fruit orchard with a sign next
to it that said something along the lines of, �Help yourself and if you know someone
who is hungry, grab some for them too�. I�d also like to work with children in helping
them to find their true, divine reason(s) for being here.
We don�t need money because that makes us economic slaves to a broken system of fiat
currency. What we need are ideas such as the The Venus Project, Ubuntu, or The Global Unity
Project to come to fruition, where EVERYONE can live in abundance and prosperity without
the need for economic subservience and slavery.
Who else is tired of being a slave to a broken system? Who else feels the pain of those who
are starving and homeless? Certainly not those who �control� this planet.
The following video and commentary was created by Spencer Cathcart and tells of the truth
we see everyday but rarely think about.
It�s time to write a new script!
The Lie We Live
At this moment you could be anywhere, doing anything. Instead you sit alone before a screen.
So what�s stopping us from doing what we want? Being where we want to be?
Each day we wake up in the same room and follow the same path, to live the same day as yesterday.
Yet at one time each day was a new adventure. Along the way something changed. Before our
days were timeless, now our days are scheduled.
Is this what it means to be grown up? To be free? But are we really free?
Food, water, land.
The very elements we need to survive are owned by corporations. There�s no food for us
on trees, no freshwater in streams, no land to build a home. If you try and take what
the Earth provides you�ll be locked away. So we obey their rules.
We discover the world through a textbook. For years we sit and regurgitate what we�re
told. Tested and graded like subjects in a lab. Raised not to make a difference in this
world, raised to be no different. Smart enough to do our job but not to question why we do
it. So we work and work, left with no time to live the life we work for. Until a day
comes when we are too old to do our job. It is here we are left to die. Our children take
our place in the game.
To us, our path is unique, but together we are nothing more than fuel. The fuel that
powers the elite. The elite who hide behind the logos of corporations. This is their world.
And their most valuable resource is not in the ground. It is us.
We build their cities, we run their machines, we fight their wars. After all, money isn�t
what drives them. It�s power. Money is simply the tool they use to control us. Worthless
pieces of paper we depend on to feed us, move us, entertain us.
They gave us money and in return we gave them the world. Where there were trees that cleaned
our air are now factories that poison it. Where there was water to drink, is toxic waste
that stinks. Where animals ran free, are factory farms where they are born and slaughtered
endlessly, for our satisfaction. Over a billion people are starving, despite us having enough
food for everybody. Where does it all go? 70% of the grain we grow is fed to fatten
the animals you eat for dinner. Why help the starving? You can�t profit off them.
We are like a plague sweeping the earth, tearing apart the very environment that allows us
to live. We see everything as something to be sold, as an object to be owned. But what
happens when we have polluted the last river? Poisoned the last breath of air? Have no oil
for the trucks that bring us our food? When will we realize money can�t be eaten, that
it has no value?
We aren�t destroying the planet. We are destroying all life on it. Every year thousands
of species go extinct. And time is running out before we�re next. If you live in America
there�s a 41% chance you�ll get cancer. Heart disease will kill one out of three Americans.
We take prescription drugs to deal with these problems, but medical care is the third leading
cause of death behind cancer and heart disease. We�re told everything can be solved by throwing
money at scientists so they can discover a pill to make our problems go away. But the
drug companies and cancer societies rely on our suffering to make a profit. We think we�re
running for a cure, but really we�re running away from the cause. Our body is a product
of what we consume and the food we eat is designed purely for profit. We fill ourselves
with toxic chemicals. The bodies of animals infested with drugs and diseases. But we don�t
see this. The small group of corporations that own the media don�t want us to. Surrounding
us with a fantasy we�re told is reality.
It�s funny to think humans once thought the earth was the center of the universe.
But then again, now we see ourselves as the center of the planet. We point to our technology
and say we�re the smartest. But do computers, cars, and factories really illustrate how
intelligent we are? Or do they show how lazy we�ve become. We put this �civilized�
mask on. But when you strip that away what are we?
How quickly we forget only within past hundred years did we allow women to vote; allow blacks
to live as equals. We act as if we are all-knowing beings, yet there is much we fail to see.
We walk down the street ignoring all the little things. The eyes who stare. The stories they
share. Seeing everything as a background to �me�.
Perhaps we fear we�re not alone. That we are a part of a much bigger picture. But we
fail to make the connection. We�re okay killing pigs, cows, chickens, strangers from
foreign lands. But not our neighbors, not our dogs, our cats, those we have come to
love and understand. We call other creatures stupid yet we point to them to justify our
actions. But does killing simply because we can, because we always have, make it right?
Or does it show how little we�ve learned. That we continue to act out of primal aggression
rather than thought and compassion.
One day, this sensation we call life will leave us. Our bodies will rot, our valuables
recollected. Yesterday�s actions all that remain. Death constantly surrounds us, still
it seems so distant from our everyday reality. We live in a world on the verge of collapse.
The wars of tomorrow will have no winners. For violence will never be the answer; it
will destroy every possible solution.
If we all look at our innermost desire, we will see our dreams are not so different.
We share a common goal. Happiness. We tear the world apart looking for joy, without ever
looking within ourselves. Many of the happiest people are those who own the least. But are
we really so happy with our iPhones, our big houses, our fancy cars?
We�ve become disconnected. Idolizing people we�ve never met. We witness the extraordinary
on screens but ordinary everywhere else. We wait for someone to bring change without ever
thinking of changing ourselves.
Presidential elections might as well be a coin toss. It�s two sides of the same coin.
We choose which face we want and the illusion of choice, of change is created. But the world
remains the same. We fail to realize the politicians don�t serve us; they serve those who fund
them into power.
We need leaders, not politicians. But in this world of followers, we have forgotten to lead
ourselves. Stop waiting for change and be the change you want to see. We didn�t get
to this point by sitting on our asses. The human race survived not because we are fastest
or the strongest, but because we worked together.
We have mastered the act of killing. Now let�s master the joy of living.
This isn�t about saving the planet. The planet will be here whether we are or not.
Earth has been around for billions of years, each of us will be lucky to last eighty. We
are a flash in time, but our impact is forever.
I often wished I lived in an age before computers, when we didn�t have screens to distract
us.
But I realize there�s one reason why this is the only time I want to be alive. Because
here today, we have an opportunity we never had before. The internet gives us the power
to share a message and unite millions around the world. While we still can we must use
our screens to bring us together, rather than farther apart.
For better or worse, our generation will determine the future of life on this planet. We can
either continue to serve this system of destruction until no memory of our existence remains or
we can wake up. Realize we aren�t evolving upwards, but rather falling down�we just
have screens in our faces so we don�t see where we�re heading.
This present moment is what every step, every breath and every death has led to. We are
the faces of all who came before us. And now it is our turn. You can choose to carve your
own path or follow the road countless others have already taken.
Life is not a movie. The script isn�t already written. We are the writers.
This is Your Story, Their Story, Our Story.
