I was watching that Kevin Hart and Bryan Cranston movie the other day. It was the movie about the really rich guy that was a quadriplegic and a guy that takes care of him. At first, Kevin Hart's character is just trying to get a signature so he can say he's looking for a job … Continue reading Keeping Safe in Dive Bombing Season BFG’s
Bitterness
Keywords are Key BFG’s
I never had a treehouse in my backyard growing up, but I always wished I would have. We had a forest in my backyard in New York, but unfortunately, I wasn't blessed with the skills to build things and my parents weren't the kind of people that built stuff either. The allure of a treehouse … Continue reading Keywords are Key BFG’s
Cohort BFG’s
For most of my life, I've played video games. I still remember the day, in the late 70's, when I went to this little strip mall where my mom bought me bought my first pair of Hulk Underoos. I couldn't have been much older than 7, but there was this little electronics store that showed … Continue reading Cohort BFG’s
Contradiction Training BFG’s
I've only ever been published once, and it was in a magazine that sold 12 copies, 13 of which were me buying the copies. Last night I managed to help my son write a poem for his English class, which I totally didn't get any help from ChatGPT. I've published over 1300 blogs post on … Continue reading Contradiction Training BFG’s

Did you see that beekeeper guy that went viral recently, because he helped clear out a bunch of bees at a baseball game?

The Voices in My Head BFG’s
I've never liked parties, for obvious reasons. First, I'm a died in the wool introvert with a massive disdain for people and talking to them. When I am forced to go to a party, it is my mission to find a way to disappear like a vapor. I do my best impression of Ethan Hunt, … Continue reading The Voices in My Head BFG’s
Nightmare Ben BFG’s
Ever since we had my first kid, I've been a horrific sleeper. My daughter refused to sleep anywhere near my REM cycle. She had a REM detector that allowed her to find right when I was about to go full REM, and cried right before I was about to down for good. She was good … Continue reading Nightmare Ben BFG’s
Businesses are better than people BFG’s
As some people deduced on Tuesday, it was my birthday. If there is one thing I've learned over the years, the older I get, the less my birthday matters. The excitement I have for my birthday peaked when I turned 30, when I actually looked forward to my birthday. I had already been setting up … Continue reading Businesses are better than people BFG’s

Total Eclipse of the Smart BFG’s
On Monday April 8th, there is going to be a total eclipse of the sun. I'm sensing an excitement around the country and perhaps the world. I don't know how many of you will be going to a certain location to witness the eclipse, but I assume that many of you are. I am actually … Continue reading Total Eclipse of the Smart BFG’s
A Bitter Galaxy Far Away
The reason I started this blog was because I was muy frustrado with the way my job was going. As an introvert and a customer service rep that hated the phone and talking on it, and a guy that detests hearing other people complain, I needed a place to put my frustration. Ironically, all I … Continue reading A Bitter Galaxy Far Away
The Designated Person BFG’s
In doing my research for this blog post, I googled when the Amazing Race's first episode came out. Amazingly, it was September 5, 2001. That means it came out in an innocent time before 9/11, the Bitter Pandemic and the birth of my kids or even this blog. I was just a young married guy … Continue reading The Designated Person BFG’s
Hand Me Ups BFG’s
Before we get started with the regularly scheduled blog post, last week was my 12-year Bitter Blogiversary. You should probably congratulate me on being bitter for 12 years now.

Dundie Award Winning Blog BFG’s
When I was in college, I used to love movies. I would go to at least 3 or 4 a month. They weren't as expensive back then, and I never fell for expensive popcorn or candy trick. I even used to work in a theater, so I got to see free movies (and get free … Continue reading Dundie Award Winning Blog BFG’s
Groundhog’s Day BFG’s
I was watching a movie the other day that my wife put on that started with a girl about the last day of her life. It was full of angsty, teenage girl problems and tried to get deep about life, love, bullying, family and living life to the fullest. The storytelling hook they used was … Continue reading Groundhog’s Day BFG’s
Broken Dreams BFG’s
When I was young and delusional instead of old and delusional like I am now, I wanted to be a dream interpreter. Little did I know that dream interpretation was mainly the domain of 1-900 psychics on those infomercials in the 90's. I was crushed when I found out that if I wanted to be … Continue reading Broken Dreams BFG’s
Shortcut BFG’s
When I was 6 years old, I lived in Long Island, New York. Real estate must not have been near as expensive as it is now, because we had this pretty big house, a long circular driveway, and plenty of property in the backyard. We easily could have built a Field of Dreams baseball stadium … Continue reading Shortcut BFG’s
Transfer Portal BFG’s
College football sucks. And yet...it may be my path to fortune, if I play it just right. Remember at the beginning of this post when I said college football sucks? I hope so. It was only two sentences ago. It might sound like bitter grapes, but the reason I think college football sucks, is because … Continue reading Transfer Portal BFG’s
The Brinch who Stole Christmas…Vacation
Hello all. I'm pretty lazy when it comes to doing posts around Christmas, but I'm really good at reposting some classics. So I hope you enjoy. And Bitter Christmas to you all.

If you're looking to be less fragile, by sleeping a little more, this will help.* About two weeks ago, I reached for the door handle on my Fiat 500e and my frail, 50-year old weakling hands broke the door handle. I was in a hurry, so I just tried to figure out if I could … Continue reading 404 BFG’s
