I grew up on sports. It's hard to imagine, but when I was young I was in good shape. I was even taller than the average person from about 7th grade on. Until my freshman year of college, I was like 4% body fat. Then my metabolism slowed, but my eating did not. It was … Continue reading Learning the Bad Behavior from Sports

Call it a Comeback Bitter Friday Giftures
You know that expression, "nothing bad ever really goes away"? Probably not, because I just made it up. Anyways, winter is so dumb. Whoever made it up just likes to mess with people. We had a pretty mild winter, like 50 degrees most of it, until the Groundhog poked his stupid face up and … Continue reading Call it a Comeback Bitter Friday Giftures
Math Bitterness
Something just doesn't add up. It seems like we are all just so divided. Maybe it is just time to subtract something from all of our lives. Either that or we need to multiply our efforts. I just think there is no common denominator anymore. I just feel like if we just took a fraction … Continue reading Math Bitterness
This isn’t the Voice
I am constantly losing things. I've lost my wallet multiple times, usually when I needed it the most. Once I lost my wallet when I was at an amusement park in Cincinnati and had to have all the money so I could buy sweet souviners. I was steaming mad, but as always, it was inside … Continue reading This isn’t the Voice
Super Straw Friday Giftures
I'm finally starting to watch Parks And Rec, by the recommendation of just about everyone, and you know for a fact it isn't because of Leslie Knope. Way to optomistic, way too friendly, way too much of a hard worker. Obviously it is for Ron Swanson and Andy. Ron is the perfect example and … Continue reading Super Straw Friday Giftures
Bitter Long Legs
I was attending another function as I am loathe to do because usually functions have to do with interacting with other human people, and I was sitting down like normal (standing is for athletes and psychopaths). I'm 6'1, so not that tall, but tall enough that I have tall people problems. I have to reach … Continue reading Bitter Long Legs
Debendable Ben – The Snow MVP
I forged my bitterness in the cold snow and ice of South Dakota. I grew up there, and it wasn't a fun place, especially in the winter. I've mentioned many times on this blog, but not recently, that one time when I was in 3rd grade, it got to -80 F wind chill and they … Continue reading Debendable Ben – The Snow MVP
Blog Closed Today
In light of the events of it being too snowy, windy and cold outside and my bitterness for having to go outside and go sledding and have snowball fights, it has been determined that this blog will be closed today. If you are caught in this hideous storm, feel free to be bitter as well. … Continue reading Blog Closed Today
Towel A Ban Bitter Friday Giftures
Today, I'm going to go all Seinfeld on you. I know it similar to some of the plots of many of the Seinfeld shows, but who is in charge of the automatic towel dispensers in the bathroom? Some of them roll out a red carpet below your feet before they stop dispensing. Others, like … Continue reading Towel A Ban Bitter Friday Giftures
Obey My Commands!
It's Valentine's Day here on the BBB. Well, I guess it is also other places too, but I'm not sure. We do a lot of things on Valentine's around here. Like complain about love and hearts, and candy and flowers and we wonder why the heck they don't make a bigger deal about National Pizza … Continue reading Obey My Commands!
Animal Kingdom Bitterness
As a marketer at heart, I'm always thinking about my audience. (Just so you know, that means no one is really a person to me, just a target market. IE, my mom isn't my mom, just a part of the female senior demographic.) For pretty much the almost 6 years I've been doing this blog, … Continue reading Animal Kingdom Bitterness
Finesse Friday Giftures
As we all know, I am about as subtle as a hammer. I have no skills in the art of subtlery. I would make a really bad spy because I would be sneaking up behind some thug that I was supposed to off, and I would of course have my tap shoes on and … Continue reading Finesse Friday Giftures
Technibitter
I've been living without a big screen TV for a year and a half now. Cable has been a no show for a year and a half now. That will be coming to an end soon. That means I've missed some pretty angry news. I heard there was this thing called fake news. Then I … Continue reading Technibitter
We are supposed to be uncomfortable
Who loves motivational speakers/speaking? Well not me of course. I just love how much time we as a society spend on motivational speaking. I've probably heard a thousand speeches between work, and movies and YouTube videos and the same thing happens every time. A speaker gets up, tells you how miserable your life is because … Continue reading We are supposed to be uncomfortable
Super Bowl of Chili
Today is the big game! Get your chili, your cheesy fries, and your couch ready because football's ultimate game is today. We could talk about the millions of pounds of food consumed. We could talk about all the millions of dollars spent on gambling and prop bets (those weird ones like what color will Justin … Continue reading Super Bowl of Chili
Some Coal Appeared and Saw Its Shadow Bitter Friday Giftures
Sometimes I get a little confused. I know that today is Groundhog's Day, but does he appear and make a shadow if the winter is going to be six weeks longer or if you are naughty you get coal. Also, which is the one with fireworks? Is it Halloween or St. Patrick's Day? And … Continue reading Some Coal Appeared and Saw Its Shadow Bitter Friday Giftures
Pizza Better for you than cereal
The radio. Often you are forced to listen to it in your car because you can't really do anything else. You're not allowed to text, or play video games, and reading books seems to be out of the question. It's kind of uncool that we aren't even allowed to sleep while we are driving. It … Continue reading Pizza Better for you than cereal
Bitter Guns
I have killed, crushed and mamed 1000's of people in my career. And I'm not talking about their motivations. I've only done that to a few people. I've only done that because I only really talk to the few people that I need to everyday. A boss or two, co-workers that need to stop making … Continue reading Bitter Guns
Hungry Like a Wolfgang Friday Giftures
I'm always hungry, especially when I'm not hungry. I love eating well past when I am completely full. I always get so mad when I have to go to sleep because that means I have to go like 5 hours without eating. Who has time for sleep when you are trying to eat all … Continue reading Hungry Like a Wolfgang Friday Giftures
Delicious Moments
Hopefully, you all watch The Office, because that is the language I speak in. Everything in life relates to couches, pizza, and The Office. Since I assume you all watch it and know every episode by heart, I'm just going to go straight into it. Remember the episode of the Office when Andy finally takes … Continue reading Delicious Moments
