The older I get, the less I understand the actions of those around me. Perhaps that is why I chose Economics as my course of study in college, to better understand why people make the decisions they do. Unfortunately for the law of economics, I have come to a conclusion that goes against every economic theory in existence… people DO [...]

A Kiss This is becoming my favorite track on the new Bad Meets Evil album featuring Eminem and Royce Da 5’9″. The lyrics in this song are crazy and the way that both artists string them together is nothing short of amazing. Best lyric of the track: “Tell Gaga she can quit her job at the post office, she’s still [...]

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!

The last six years have been a string of failures, disappointments, heartbreak and emotional abuse. Each time I hit rock bottom, the hole gets larger and deeper and even harder to get out of. The end of the tunnel has disappeared and the hole is so deep I can feel the heat of hell at my feet. Where is the [...]

December 23 marks the day of Festivus (the holiday for the rest of us). As a non-religious individual myself, I find the Seinfeld popularized holiday to be an appropriate way to engage in the “holiday spirit” with the masses. The tenets of Festivus also appeal to me as they include an “airing of grievances”, something which I always seem to [...]

I made it a habit not to get too personal on this blog, for good reason. Keeping my personal life private is a rather important thing to me but today this blog is going to serve as an outlet. Throughout life people come and go, good things begin and end. While struggling to grasp a meaning for these things I [...]

I am excited to have transferred to a new school which is ranked as one of the top Universities in the Midwest, with an excellent business program. I begin this semester as a Junior, by one credit, and hope to graduate with a dual [...]

Economic indicators are pointing to a recovery, but I’m not so sure many working-class Americans would agree. With official unemployment in my home state of Michigan at 15% and the realistic number in the 20′s, I don’t see an economic recovery anytime soon, especially in Michigan. Home sales are up, economic growth is up, jobs are still being lost (albeit [...]

I received a renewal notice from GoDaddy today and decided I should get it taken care of and also discovered a 25% off coupon code for purchases over $100. I decided to go ahead and renew ShaunCarter.com for 9 years using that coupon code and was able to bring the per year cost of the domain down to around $6 [...]

I don’t really care about Tiger Woods’ personal life and think what he does is his own business. But apparently the hoopla surrounding the unfolding “transgressions” has proven extremely lucrative for news agencies, specifically Yahoo and The Wall Street Journal according to The Huffington Post. They claim that web traffic is exceeding what was experienced after Michael Jackson’s death. While [...]
