As spring heats up, many people turn their attention to being at work all day, while some "other lucky people" that aren't them are going on glamorous vacations to tropical paradises around the world. Some people are jealous of the sandy beaches that others get to soak up the rays in. Others are jealous of … Continue reading The Bitter Ecosystem

Pizzalympics
I'm only good at a few things. I excel at laying on the couch. I can make macaroni and cheese. I'm pretty good at almost finishing things in video games. I'm pretty great at zoning out at a moment's notice. On Friday, when I was getting my pizza, then driving to the library, I realized … Continue reading Pizzalympics
Action Movie Friday Giftures
Growing up in the 80's, action movies were the best.

Truly impressive physical feats last night. … Continue reading The Bitter Side of the Force

Customer service
Imma nah let you in on a little background information. A prequel of this blog if you will. It's kind of in the about page, if you haven't read that, but the whole reason I started this blog 4 years ago, was because of my bitterness working in customer service. I kind of moved into … Continue reading Customer service
Comparison Shopper
The best thing about online shopping, other than being able to do it in your PJ's while sitting on the couch, is the ability to compare the pricing and features of your tacky jean shorts, or a totally outdated 1080p only HD TV to a cutting edge UHD TV's on different websites. Back in the … Continue reading Comparison Shopper
Bitter Rivalry of the Week: Critics reviews vs. Your views
If you've ever seen Ratatouille, you will find yourself almost cheering for rats.

Do not publish file
some post ideas that I'm just spitballing, but don't ever publish this. Kin Kardashian - should I tell them that I actually secretly have a crush on her and I watch the show all the time and only attack her so they don't really think I like her? ISIS - why are people talking … Continue reading Do not publish file
Escaping Reality Bitterness
Movies have been a fascination to me for a long time. I took a class in college about film once and I learned about all about its different aspects. Directing and acting of course, but also about cinematography, screenwriting and editing and how much effect they can each have on a movie. Ever since then, … Continue reading Escaping Reality Bitterness
Introverts Employment Network
Extroverts are the rockstars of this big wide world of ours. They thrive on being in front of crowds, being the life of the party and making a scene.

Bitter Easter Disaster
I'm sitting here on a Monday morning, bitter that I'm work. Bitter that it's a Monday morning, bitter that it's cold out. Bitter that I barely slept at all over the weekend.

Bitter Rivalry of the Week: The Red Pill vs. The Blue Pill
The Matrix is my all time favorite surprise movies. After I graduated college, I continued to be just as much of a dork as I was in college and that meant I went to see a lot of movies alone.

I don't know), but I'm pretty sure it is the record of something. … Continue reading The Bitter 700 Club and Friday Giftures
Bitter Wake-Up Call
Some of them come with a beep. Some play music. Some come to your hotel room via old school annoying telephone ring. Some even come with the smell of fresh napalm. Jim Carrey had it wrong when he thought he made the most annoying sound in the word. We all know the most annoying sound … Continue reading Bitter Wake-Up Call
Bitter Bendsetter
There was the one time. So many years ago. I was on the track team in seventh grade and I needed some shoes. My mom took me to Payless to get a cheap pair. They were bright white and very uncomfortable. Everyone saw them. They couldn't really miss them. I wore them for a few … Continue reading Bitter Bendsetter
