I have to say that before watching this video I had no idea who This person was or what he was responsible for. After watching this however I am eternally grateful for people like him. In this modern age of gray areas between whats truly just, right, and what can be deemed as criminal or illegal. I feel we must all take a step back and truly realize the world for what it is. At an age where all information is said to be at your fingertips why do we still depend on a small group of people to make decisions and laws for us? I feel that in this modern age this method is not only outdated, impractical, unjust, unfair, and down right inhumane. With modern technology today and the access that we all have to it why do we not have a better system? The United States was formed with far less of a population that it has today, but the founding fathers would be ever so ashamed at our blindness to the revolutionary tool that we have today. The internet. The internet is the answer to most of the problems that we have in this country today. Strictly speaking on the unjust laws perspective, the internet would solve the problems in overpopulation in the prison industrial complex, financial loss, and unfair gain, the internet also gives the opportunity for every person to truly have a voice in how our government functions, where our money goes, and who may be guilty of committing a crime. The United States was never intended to be a democracy, No, in the constitution and the bill of rights it states this country is governed by the method of a Republic. I however am not purely against Democracy, however I do have a problem with how it is being carried out today. We no longer need, or desire an indirect democracy, With the internet and the widespread of media we now have the power to be a direct democracy without any ruling class, without a president, and without any representatives. All civilians have some form of access to a television set, a computer, a cell phone, or other network related device where their opinion on a law can be counted, observed and enacted. By having this form of direct democracy we all have a voice, we all have a vote, and in the pure spirit of democracy, the true spirit, and voice of the majority will be heard. There is no need for central and political leaders to tell us what will be done in our country anymore. We no longer need judges to decide the fate of someone being accused of a crime, and as the constitution allows, each person will be tried by a jury of their peers by allowing everyone to be educated on the suppose law that was broken to vote on how the persons sentence, if any would be carried out. This ability would render useless the mainstream medias monopoly on the mass populations opinions, by giving each citizen unfiltered access to their countries affairs, not only does the individual gain more strength and knowledge but the country itself, with all standing as one, the strength a real country would have. When all is one, none is lost.

Sometimes all thats needed is a reminder of how things can be so simple. It's one thing to have high hopes and it's another living off of them. Sometimes you have to step back and look at things for what they are, more often than not they are beautiful. There's beauty in everything if you look at it at the right angle. I come to a place often where I find myself heartbroken, discouraged, and sometimes let down. It is times like these where you have to change your perspective to realize that all of the things in life have some form of lesson to teach. Heartbreak especially seems to be one of those lessons that not only hurts the most, but also makes you grow so much stronger. I have not gone through heartbreak in a long time, but I feel as though I am feeling some residual effects of my past. They always have a lesson to teach, a strength to gain, a heart to be warmed, and motivation when there was none. I feel very motivated now, and the song above is one on my list that reminds me of some things I hold dear in this life. Even moments of silent loneliness can be filled with such joy, love, motivation, and creativity.
The name YellowBird Books comes from a few different events and feelings that I have had in my life. The Term itself is derived from a Bright Eyes album where the symbolism of a Yellowbird is found throughout. This Album titled "I'm wide awake it's morning" has been throughout my life and to this day a very important album to me. Throughout the album I find myself relating, or being able to live out a previous memory that I once had with old friends, old lovers, good events, heart break, and heart warming. This is one meaning behind the name. This is where I find my inspiration. This symbol of a yellow bird has played a theme through out my life. To me, the primary symbol behind the Yellowbird, is finding love. Now the very word love could mean many things. It is finding love in another, finding love in myself, finding love in what I do, and finding love in everything. This I feel is and always will be a constant theme in my life, and sure know it will be. For finding love is my primary motivator. I named my journals YellowBird Books because I want everyone who interacts with me and my work to find love in all that they encounter. This feeling of love is what brought the very designs so far to come to be. And like love itself, it will continue to grow, it will continue to break, and continue to heal, learn, and remake itself. Its the hearts that we embrace and influence that creates the stories of our lives. The books are blank with hopes that they will be filled with all of these things and more.
