A few weeks ago I talked about the death of movies. As I mentioned, the day they died was the moment the disease which shall not be named, COVID, killed not only people, but the movie industry. More specifically, I talked about how Disney was high on its own supply in 2019, with the release … Continue reading Copyright Lows BTG’s

Bitter Son Chips BFG’s
It was early morning and my little family of four was driving to Utah from Seattle for a little family vacation. My son was 3 or 4 years old and he just woke up from sleeping and looked out the window, and proclaimed as if he had never seen the bright ball of light in … Continue reading Bitter Son Chips 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
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
I’m walking for President BFG’s
I've never been a big Halloween guy. Even the best part about Halloween, the candy, was ruined by Halloween. You know exactly what I'm talking about. Before Halloween, the world was filled with full sized candy bars as far as the eye could see. But then Halloween got this horrible idea to ruin candy, by … Continue reading I’m walking for President BFG’s
Keeping Safe in Dive Bombing Season BFG’s
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
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
Pilot Light Bitter Friday Giftures
No one ever really thinks too hard about this, (except maybe me) but every year on or around June 21st, in the Northern Hemisphere, we get the highest number of hours of daylight. A lot of people don't think about it, because it's too early in the summer to think about it. Some kids are … Continue reading Pilot Light Bitter Friday Giftures
Late to the Party Bitter Friday Giftures
One time when I was in college, I was so distraught by a girl breaking up with me, that I slept in until 4 pm. It was the oddest sensation I'd ever felt. When I woke up, I went to the campus bookstore, and it was already closed for the day. People had already woken … Continue reading Late to the Party Bitter Friday Giftures
Life Isn’t About a Box Of Chocolates Bitterness
The first time I watched Forrest Gump, I didn't make it all the way through. I was on a date with a girl, and I could tell she was getting a little uncomfortable. I asked her if she wanted to leave, and she said she did. So we walked out and continued our date elsewhere. … Continue reading Life Isn’t About a Box Of Chocolates Bitterness
The Bitter Corruption Industry
Ten years ago, I was living in Seattle at the peak of my misery. If you've lived in Seattle, you know there is only two seasons. One lasts 11 and a half months and it's cloudy, cold, rainy, wet and windy. The other two weeks, the sun vacationed in Seattle, but it was only for … Continue reading The Bitter Corruption Industry
Electric Blue Bitterness
I've spent most of my life trying to spread bitterness like most people spread frozen butterness on their toast. Just like the spreaders of butter on toast, it's hard work and it rarely works out how I want it to. After spreading bitterness for almost 50 years, I finally decided to make the world better … Continue reading Electric Blue Bitterness
Forward Thinking BFG’s
I've been running this Bitter Blog Empire for 11 years now, thus making me an expert in running blog empires, according to Malcom Gladwell. To prove it, I've written 1446 posts, each which average over 500 words per post. That is 723,000 words that I've created mostly from brain. A few monkeys pounded some words … Continue reading Forward Thinking BFG’s
My Hostage Demands
There are a lot of things that I am, but one of the things I'm not is a demanding person. If you are a customer service rep, you want my name to pop up on your caller ID, because this is going to be an easy call. If you are my family, you know I … Continue reading My Hostage Demands
Everything is Merging Bitterness
Star Date: December 15, 1984. I don't remember many days in my life. I remember a few of my birthday's and occasionally I remember the day I got married. Sometimes, I remember my kid's births, but beyond that, I don't remember many days. Most of them just merge together. But December 15, 1984 was one … Continue reading Everything is Merging Bitterness
A/B itter Testing BFG’s
When I was young, I had a really diverse palate. I ate mushed up peas, carrots, bananas and even apples. My mom fooled me into believing that they tasted good by using a deceptive trick she called airplane mode. She would maneuver a spoonful of yucky tasting crushed up carrots in an airplane motion to … Continue reading A/B itter Testing BFG’s
Slightly Off Balance Bitterness
I have no balance in my life, and it's my right leg's fault. When I was in junior high, whenever I wanted to participate in a sport, I had to get the yearly physical. Junior high was already the worst and most embarrassing and humiliating part of my life. The physical was just the cherry … Continue reading Slightly Off Balance Bitterness
The Gym Hasn’t Been Working Out BFG’s
The Gym hasn't been working out, which is ironic, because the gym wants everyone else to workout. (Holding for applause on my dad joke...aaaand back to the post.) My wife likes to make fun of me, because I have all these routines and when she sidetracks them, I get a little cranky and bitter. I … Continue reading The Gym Hasn’t Been Working Out BFG’s
Working on Christmas Bitter Friday Giftures
I've been in the working industry for a long time. When I was a kid, my dad told me that there was no such thing as a free lunch. Since I was born at 8 pm at night, I was already proven as the laziest family member because I didn't have my first job until … Continue reading Working on Christmas Bitter Friday Giftures
