Hi, I'm Zach. This is my blog. It's mostly my life, but sometimes I post stuff about my beliefs (or lack thereof), very amateur photography, or other random stuff, including, but not limited to, Harry Potter stuff. I'm a food snob and a grammar Nazi. Oh. I study musical theatre at University of Michigan. And oh. I love a girl.

May I brag for just a moment? And yes, this is going to be one of those “mommy posts,” sorry…
There are a few kids in my 7 year old’s class that are bullies (we’ll call them ‘B’ and ‘Z’). They’ve caused problems for just about every other kid in the class, including my son. There has been action…
This is probably going to get quoted in every publication just because I said it. And I’m not even saying anything. I’m not talking about my films, I’m not talking about my life, and I’m not talking about the world. And yet, the media will print it simply because I said it. And at this moment in time, I bet there is an artist around the corner of this hotel, on the street, with a mind far beyond ours, but we will never listen to him simply because he has not appeared in a movie. And that is what is fucked up about our culture.

I thought I couldn’t dig this guy any more, and then he has to fucking go and say this. Right on the mark, Mr. Downey.

I’m trying SO hard not to get my hopes up for this movie. It’s really hard. I want to expect so much, and still have my expectations surpassed. PLEASE let this movie musical be the one to do it.

I wouldn’t use the word “retard” for obvious reasons, but basically this is super accurate. What happened to those good old family values?

CISPA Update of the Day: CISPA, the Cyber Information Sharing and Protection Act that passed the House in April, likely is headed for a Senate vote in early June.
To drum up opposition to the legislation, which would create “a ‘cybersecurity’ exemption to all existing laws,” Fight for the Future, Democrats.com, The Liberty Coalition, and the Entertainment Consumers Association have created a new website called Privacy Is Awesome. The site outlines the top five ways to help defeat CISPA:
- Call your senators and tell them to oppose the Lieberman-Collins bill (CISPA), and ask for a constituent meeting during the Memorial Day recess to help change their mind.
- Email senators offices about CISPA, expressing your opposition.
- Keep calling senators until they plan a constituent meeting.
- Donate to anti-CISPA organizers — the same teams that helped defeat SOPA/PIPA.
- Share your opposition online — Facebook, Twitter, etc.
Meanwhile, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., is spearheading opposition to the legislation, concluding a recent Senate floor speech with:
I believe these bills will encourage the development of a cyber security industry that profits from fear and whose currency is Americans private data. These bills create a Cyber Industrial Complex that has an interest in preserving the problem to which it is the solution.
Watch the full video here. It’s terrific.
Men never commit evil so fully and joyfully as when they do it for religious convictions.

Cruel men believe in a cruel God and use their belief to excuse their cruelty. Only kindly men believe in a kindly God, and they would be kindly in any case.

Never fail to reblog this.
When men submit themselves to the authority of others, ‘tis to procure themselves some security against the wickedness and injustice of men, who are perpetually carry’d, by their unruly passions, and by their present and immediate interest, to the violation of all the laws of society. But as this imperfection is inherent in human nature, we know that it must attend men in all their states and conditions; and that those, whom we chuse for rulers, do no immediately become of a superior nature to the rest of mankind, upon account of their superior power and authority.
David Hume, A Treatise of Human Nature, Book III, Part II, Section IX.
