Three years ago, I went to Scotland and became a Scottish Lord. I didn't know that part of becoming a Scottish Lord, was all these Scottish Lord responsibilities. As a Scottish Lord, you are taken on a tour of the country, in which you must to visit all these historical royal castles and palaces, and … Continue reading Vacation Request BFG’s

Waste of Space BFG’s
It is April 18th, only a few days before Easter, so it's spring! Are you so excited? The trees are in bloom, the birds are singing, the frogs are in love, and the sun, oh the sun. It's brighter than ever! WRONG! April Fools month! The trees are just as horrible as ever. They are … Continue reading Waste of Space BFG’s
Non Sensical Things BFG’s
I used to enjoy my birthday. When I first started working at a radio communications company in Seattle, I would harass people at work by telling them starting in January, my birthday was only 4 months away. The older I got, the more I realized that my birthday was basically about avoiding calls from my … Continue reading Non Sensical Things BFG’s

Acting!
When I was younger, I was sold this really great lie that if you went to college, you would get a really good job afterwards. Yet there I was, post graduated, working at a movie theater. Don't get me wrong, I liked working at the movie theater. I got free movies, free popcorn as I … Continue reading Acting!

Mike, See attached for the Monthly Stats for the Bing ads for the month of March 2025. The spend for this month was a bit high, but revenue was also up. ROAS was down from last month, but was up from January. By adding some new campaigns of some of our higher selling supplements and … Continue reading March 2025 Stats
After Math BFG’s
When I was living in Long Island, New York, I have a core memory of a particular day at school. One of my co-students got sick with this mysterious disease that freaked everyone's parents. All the parents decided that they wouldn't let their kids go to school the next day, because reasons I guess. I'm … Continue reading After Math BFG’s
Voices in my Head BFG’s
I was so busy hanging out in my head yesterday that I forgot that the NCAA Basketball tournament was going on. I used to care about it when I was younger, but now I can barely manage to fill out a bracket, let alone care about any of the games. Besides, there is a better … Continue reading Voices in my Head BFG’s
Industry Plant BFG’s
For some reason, there are people in this world that like to garden. Some say it's because they like to get fresh vegetables from their garden. Others say it's because they like digging in dirt. Still others say they it's their therapy, or their way of relaxing. I have counterpoints to each of those terrible … Continue reading Industry Plant BFG’s
Soft as the Other Side of the Pillow BFG’s
Most of my opinions are unpopular, but this is one that most people oppose. I like Monday's waaaay better than I like Tuesday's or even Wednesday's. I've talked about this before, but it was 13 years ago when I started this blog, so I think I can duplicate an opinion every once in a while. … Continue reading Soft as the Other Side of the Pillow BFG’s
Background Character Energy BFG’s
I've never been good at remembering words in a sequence. When it comes to singing along to a song, I can belt out a chorus, but as soon as the lyrics come, I'm mumbling some new words that never existed. When I was in 3rd grade, I was forced to have a part in a … Continue reading Background Character Energy BFG’s
Roller Coaster Ride BFG’s
Have you ever felt like you were supposed to have grown up in a different family, a different era, or city, and you were just soooo close to being in that one era, but just like in some romantic comedy, you keep just missing that opportunity that would have made you rich, or that one … Continue reading Roller Coaster Ride BFG’s
Family Text Chain BFG’s
My kids will never know a world where texting doesn't exist. The first time I tried to text was a pretty awful experience. I had the basic-est of phones, a silver, rectangular Nokia that only had a tiny screen and a number pad. People kept telling me that you could type words that made sentences … Continue reading Family Text Chain BFG’s
Hacking Into Prison BFG’s
I've always tried my best to stay out of prison. I'm claustrophobic, for goodness sakes. I can't possibly imagine having to spend all my time in a 6 ft. X 8 ft. room for most of the day. Also, I'm an introvert. If I was forced to speak to people all the time, like having … Continue reading Hacking Into Prison BFG’s
Geek Mythology BFG’s
Believe it or not, when I was in 5th grade, I was a painfully shy, awkward mess of a person with only 1 or 2 friends. I wore sweatpants most days to school that I pulled up way too far. I didn't wear glasses, but if I did I would've looked like Urkel. I was … Continue reading Geek Mythology BFG’s
Bitter Bubble Boy BFG’s
Call me Bitter Bubble Boy. I reside in the small comfort zone of the 10-minute, 4 mile area between my house and work. Back in Seattle in my early 30's, I had a 30-minute-to-work-45-minute-home commute. That got extended when my office decided to move even farther away, which turned into a 45-minute-to-work-1-hour-to-get-home. I decided that … Continue reading Bitter Bubble Boy BFG’s
Chapter 11 BFG’s
I don't know if many people know this, but I've been writing a book for about 20 years now, and when it is published, it will change the industry. First, I will self-publish, and I'll sell a couple copies to my parents, make my kids buy it (for all the misery they've caused me) and … Continue reading Chapter 11 BFG’s
Join My Cult BFG’s
I've had a long and storied history with Netflix. Unlike my kids, I was born before the existence of Netflix. The only way I was able to watch movies was in a theater. Technology moved fast though and as I grew up, Blockbuster and other video stores allowed us to rent movies after they came … Continue reading Join My Cult BFG’s
The Bitter Holiday Committee BFG’s
The days are getting darker and darker, which as you know, means that it is almost Christmas. The celebration of the birth of Jesus. Which is funny because we know he wasn't actually born in December. He was actually born in the spring. The reason why the Holiday Committee moved Christmas to December is because … Continue reading The Bitter Holiday Committee BFG’s
Hibernation BFG’s
When I first moved to South Dakota in June of 1981, we lived in a hotel for three months while our house was being built. Living in a hotel for three months was awesome for a bitter 8-year-old. My dad's company paid for everything, so we got to eat breakfast at the hotel every morning. … Continue reading Hibernation BFG’s
