Yesterday while we were watching my son play his first tackle football game, it was super hot and sunny, so we decided to retreat to some shade so I wouldn't get sunburned for the seventh time this summer. Utter failure as always. When we finally sat down, we realized that we were in the middle … Continue reading Bitter Rivalry of the Week: Dragonflies vs. Hummingbirds

The Fallacy of Bitter Friday Giftures
There is this assumption that the only reason I do Friday Giftures is so that I can steal find the greatest gifs from all over the interland and steal them for the purpose of me making fun of them. And that assumption is completely true. I've stated many times that it is my goal … Continue reading The Fallacy of Bitter Friday Giftures
The Unlimited Pool of Dada
Once upon a time, a tall, clumsy, bitter farmer lived in a dark land near the forest. Though privileged in many ways compared to many in the land, he always found a way to complain about how bitter his life was. The cloud covered the sun too much, the air contained a foul stench, there … Continue reading The Unlimited Pool of Dada
Tis but a Bitter Part in this Play We Call Life

Bitter Friday Party Giftures
Friday's are normally associated with pizza, being lazy at work, and Parties. One of these things are not like the other. I've never much liked parties, because I don't like loud, I don't like people, I don't like talking and I don't like being on someone else's couch. In fact, the only good thing about … Continue reading Bitter Friday Party Giftures
Bitter Field Trip
This summer has been just full of it. Ever since it started way back in 2016, it has been nothing but a headache. In early May, we decided to take an Indiana Jones sized leap of faith across the chasm and move with me having no job, or any promise of income when we got … Continue reading Bitter Field Trip
A Bitter Sculpture
Many years ago, my favorite team the San Antonio Spurs took a quote from Jacob Riis to use as their motto. Riis was talking about observing a sculptor and how he was able to do so much work and have it make such a little impact. This is what he said: "When nothing seems to … Continue reading A Bitter Sculpture
Bitter Late than Never Friday Giftures
I'm pretty sure the internet/blogosphere/Wordpress has learned to adjust to life without me, but I have not learned to adjust to life without it. Even though I have taken an involuntary break for 4 days without blogging which I would never do on purpose, my thoughts are never far from bitterness. Every little slight, … Continue reading Bitter Late than Never Friday Giftures

Here I was not only not notified about the greatest holiday this side of national pizza week, … Continue reading National Laziness Day Bitterness
Bitter Security Beach
I bet you have not been wondering at all where I have been. Which is why I'm going to tell you. Since my self inflicted unemployment, I have been not working. At least I've been trying not to. But for some reason, I keep having to pack, fight against dust bunnies, throw stuff away, which … Continue reading Bitter Security Beach
Flying the coop Friday Giftures
I'm know most people don't fly the coop until they are at least 18 years old, but as a 15 year old...employee, I feel like I'm immature enough to make a failure out of myself in the big bad world of not here. So, I'm spreading my broken wings and I'm going to fly, … Continue reading Flying the coop Friday Giftures
Bitter Good Byes
"It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday." - Boyz 2 Men, Boys To Men? Those four guys that harmoniously sang things in a group setting while recording stuff? Actually, it isn't really hard to say goodbye to yesterday, because yesterday is already gone. It's hard to say goodbye to people because people all want … Continue reading Bitter Good Byes

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPlkKVIJ1S8 On July 1, 2001 I put in my 15 year notice at this job and told them that they had to find a replacement for me, or lose out on all the precious training that I would provide a new person on how to totally mess up a job here. Apparently they thought they … Continue reading Bitterness Advisor
