Blind leading the blind
Posted by theaveragecarter on February 5, 2010
I’ve often expressed my distaste for news media outlets and partisan politics, but it seems the old adage is true, “the more things change, the more they stay the same.” It makes me scrutinize the educational system in our country to the highest levels. I mean, to see and hear adults blatantly lie, spread rumors, boast, and cheat just in politics and media (not including all of the other facets of life, blows my mind. Grown, sometimes very aged, people acting like schoolyard children. That trickles down to the general populace who then Read the rest of this entry »

It’s not you, it’s me.
Posted by theaveragecarter on February 3, 2010
One of the things I really don’t like about society is how we love classification. Everything has to be categorized, and we create stereotypes and standards for everything we can. We don’t take into consideration individual growth rates, maturation, cognition, or biological development. We categorize people by what they wear, how they behave, the color of their skin, their gender, their age, their religion, and really anything that makes them different than us. Is it them or is it us? Do we do it to see where they fit in or where we fit in?

The American Dream
Posted by theaveragecarter on February 1, 2010
I’ve been a little reserved with my political commentary as of late. I’ve tried staying away from the news stations, and I’ve been keeping up with the state of affairs through blogs and news sites. Well the other day I got into a conversation with a friend of mine about healthcare reform and the State of the Union address, along with a few other choice topics. One of things we focused on was this so called “American dream.”
Without going too far into the conversation, my friend argued Read the rest of this entry »

Getting older…
Posted by theaveragecarter on January 29, 2010
Today is a rant day of sorts…After several months of hearing bass coming from over my back fence, I have realized one thing: I’m turning into that old man that yells, “Turn it down!!” Now I love bass probably more than the person playing over my fence. I just know that there are times and places you do it. In an apartment complex parking lot Read the rest of this entry »

The soundtrack continues…
Posted by theaveragecarter on January 27, 2010
I seem to be having a hard time with Wednesday posts. The middle of the week seems to be my Achilles Heel. So with that, I thought I would add to the soundtrack of life post from back in September. Nothing like pulling a Lazarus on a post, huh? Read the rest of this entry »

When is advice not good advice?
Posted by theaveragecarter on January 25, 2010
Every few days I come on to this site and post some random comments about life. Well at least in the posting pattern they seem random. But they actually aren’t that random at all. They are usually a collection of things that happened over the course of the week. And they range from thoughts on relationships to helping a friend with his/her computer to new music that came down the pipeline. So it all has a pattern to me, but it may not necessarily seem so with just a glance at the post. But there is a method to the madness, and I try to relay that at the beginning of each post.
So on with today’s…I made my first venture to Sunday School in about 18 years Read the rest of this entry »

…5 Days Later
Posted by theaveragecarter on January 22, 2010
Wow. I skipped out on Wednesday’s post this week, as I’m sure you noticed. Sorry about that. I was a little preoccupied and couldn’t really get down what I wanted to write in time to post. So today’s post will hopefully cover the mid-week and the week-end posts. I’m feeling a little socio-political today and I wanted to talk about something that’s been on my mind for a while. Class struggle. It didn’t help that I saw the Book of Eli yesterday either. So it could potentially get a bit thick in here.
Class struggle is the central theme in Karl Marx’s works regarding communism and is central to his theoretical ideals in dealing with capitalism. He breaks Read the rest of this entry »

Whatever you like…
Posted by theaveragecarter on January 18, 2010
One of the most common things that I hear on a daily basis about my outlook on relationships is, “well, that’s easy for you to say.” Or its close cousin, “that’s easier said than done.” And they’re right, to an extent. It is much easier to say what we want to do than it is to do what we are actually thinking. But who does it really effect when you hold back from doing what you want or need to do in life? Are you trying to spare Read the rest of this entry »

The One That Got Away

“If times were different.”
“If I would’ve been at x point in my life.”
“If he/she would have been at x point in their life.”
Oh wow, how things would be different. Read the rest of this entry »
