Just sayin'...
I adore writing, reading or watching the news, and I have a great passion for photography. I'm always learning new things and I love it.

My thoughts on Steve Anderson, the pastor that wants Obama to die.
Click here for an additional video (Obama-hating PASTOR; death threats against Obama). Even the conservative Fox News reports on this!
(Notice: It gets a bit rant-y towards the end, but I honestly cannot change my feelings about this, and that’s what I spilled out onto this page—my feelings.)
A Tempe, Arizona pastor, Steve Anderson, wants President Obama to die. Yes, a man who is vehemently opposed to the killing of unborn babies wants a grown man to die “of natural causes.” [yeah, right] Anderson hates him, not his policies, him. A supposed “man of God” wants a man to die—and is preaching his hate at a church. What the?
I don’t care if you don’t agree with Obama’s policies, that’s your view (and I respect that, even if I don’t necessarily agree with it), but you do not wish for anyone to die of brain cancer like Senator Ted Kennedy, to “melt like a snail”; he wants Obama’s children to grow up fatherless and Michelle to be a widow. How could any “righteous” person wish this? Much less a man of the cloth. It’s common human decency. He makes anyone who doesn’t support Obama’s views and/or those who have a religion look despicable. Now the psychotic wackos will feel justified in their retaliatory actions, whatever they might be.
If someone said they wanted this disgusting pastor to drown in holy water and the blood of all the women whose doctors refused the abortion they needed to survive on their moral grounds despite the wishes of the mother, people would be definitely be outraged; his gun-toting congregation would, without a doubt, be up in arms. What makes this guy any different from the next idiot who threatens anyone? Oh, “but he’s a pastor?” I don’t know about you, but I think a pastor/priest/religious leader should be a positive role model—one who aspires to be more like God in an effort to improve themselves and the world, not one who encourages and incites bigotry and rage.
My God is a god of peace, acceptance, and love; Anderson’s is apparently a god of hatred and ignorance.
I agree with most, if not all, of President Obama’s policies (except that I believe the entire country should legalize gay marriage). Should fear for my life, too?

Let me help you. Step down. Here we go! The drum major’s widow! She’s worn his coat since the day he died. The horse’s head has lost an ear! That’s the florist laughing. He has crinkly eyes. In the bakery window, lollipops. Smell that! They’re giving out melon slices. Sugarplum ice cream! We’re passing the park butcher. Ham, 79 francs. Spareribs, 45₣! Now the cheese shop! Picadors are 12₣90. Cabecaus 23₣50. A baby’s watching a dog that’s watching the chickens. Now we’re at the kiosk by the metro. I’ll leave you here. Bye!

According to Facebook...
According to Facebook, I:
- wear nothing to bed
- Why bother with clothing, sleeping in the buff is cool and easy, so go ahead and strip down
- am a sofa bed
- Just like the sofa bed you are alway there when needed and very practical
- am going to die at the age of 67 of sexual exhaustion
- am quite romantic
- You are quite romantic. You know how to turn on the charm and do so quite a bit. You are a good catch for someone looking for romance with a down to earth edge.
- am a puppy
- You are a very sweet-natured, happy person. You never care about what anyone looks like, only what they’re like on the inside. Watch out, though, because some people might try to take advantage of your happy nature.
- am Dr Pepper
- Dr. Pepper, the doctor. You are super smart and people know you for your intelligence. You are going to have a super good college education and have a really good futur…e career such as a doctor, scientist, or lawyer. You will be rich later in life and die old. Your pretty popular but you have your own strange moments.
- have the personality of a person from the 1930s
- You are strong and determined and have what it takes to get through life’s storms. You are very helpful to those around you— be it your friends, your …family, or even a neighbor in need. You are a great leader and strong-willed person, and take challenges as a way to better yourself…But you also have a deep sense of warmth and nurturing for those you care about. You are well-rounded and tough because you have to be. You aren’t a “diva” but rather a humble person with admirable character. With more hard-working, quality like you, this world would be a much better place. By being able to turn a little into a lot, you know how to make life enjoyable even if it’s just through the little things.
I enjoy taking Facebook quizzes.

Hello!
Well, hello there! I’m Zach, as you probably know by now (you are either a member of my family, a cherished friend, or a definitely-welcome passer-by). I decided to make this Tumblr because I often want to tell people what I’m thinking or feeling and I just can’t fit it in 140 characters for Twitter! (Though I use Twitter very, very, very much)
You may be the one whose immediate thoughts upon stumbing upon this blog are “OMG, his Tumblr is all black and dark, he must hate the world!” et cetera, et cetera. On the contrary, I am quite a happy, cheerful person. I just prefer the dark background because it’s easier on my eyes, probably on yours, too, and provides better contrast for photos.
Oh, by the way, the dog in my avatar is my five year-old dog, Lucy.
-Zach
