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

Landlord BFG’s
My son had a pretty great game last night in his football game. He plays defensive end which means that he is supposed to eat quarterbacks for breakfast. I wish he would eat more quarterbacks for breakfast, because then he wouldn't eat out as much at expensive fast-food places. His team was losing most of … Continue reading Landlord BFG’s
Making Footprints BFG’s
I was today years old when I realized that I've lived in not one, but two places that had forests on the property. When I was 6-8 years old, we lived in Long Island, NY, in a house that had a forest in the back yard. I'd like to say that I explored that forest … Continue reading Making Footprints BFG’s
Reading the Room BFG’s
People always tell me that if you want to be a good writer, you should read a lot. Reading helps a lot because you can model your writing after someone, or you can learn new techniques when you read a lot. I wish I could read more, because I love a good book. But for … Continue reading Reading the Room BFG’s
Donut ever do this to me BFG’s
It seems like centuries ago, but my 30th birthday was on a Friday and my wife graciously said that she would pick me up right after work, so we could go to a movie. I was excited to go to a movie, but it was a little odd that my wife wanted to pick me … Continue reading Donut ever do this to me BFG’s
Storage Unit Madness BFG’s
There was a show on TLC called Storage Wars. It was a horribly annoying show about a group of about 5 or 6 people that would bid on storage units that had been abandoned by people. Audiences were intrigued by it for several reasons, I suppose. Some seemed to like the drama between the characters … Continue reading Storage Unit Madness BFG’s
Bitter Coating
Editors Note: You probably missed the Bitter Friday Giftures on Friday. Well, sometimes people celebrate the Independence of their country once a year. Sheesh, can you give a bitter guy a break once in a while? This is what I would have posted about if I was actually near a computer that day. Except for … Continue reading Bitter Coating
How do you sleep at night BFGs
I guess my parents didn't like me that much, because when I was only 8 years old, they sent me off to this pre-military school called the Scouting program. Every single week we had to attend these meeting where they would stick us in these tan prison uniforms and make us learn all these useful … Continue reading How do you sleep at night BFGs
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
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
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
51 Reasons I’m Bitter
Since we just had solar eclipse, it's relevant that I celebrate my 51st rotation around the sun by listing my 51 reasons why you or I should be Bitter. Lists - They are long and tedious and take a lot of time. The only one that doesn't is this one. Nerolinks - Better than hyperlinks, … Continue reading 51 Reasons I’m Bitter
Hitting the Wall BFG’s
I've played video games my whole life. One of my favorite games when I was younger was Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! (I only do that with two exclamation points because that is how it appeared on the cartridge). It was one of those games where at the lower levels it was really fun and almost … Continue reading Hitting the Wall BFG’s
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
The Flag Department BFG’s
One of the least valuable things I ever did was earn my Eagle Scout in the Boy Scout program. My dad must have secretly been on the propaganda committee that taught kids my age that Scouts would somehow be valuable later in life, because he pushed me hard into the program, even though I hated … Continue reading The Flag Department BFG’s
Solving the National Debt BFG’s
I'm not known as a problem solver. In fact, the only instance there is on the books of me solving problems is when my wife wants to vent. As you know, women don't want you to solve their problems, they just want you to listen. She was trying to tell me that, but I was … Continue reading Solving the National Debt 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 2023 Season was a Disaster BFG’s
As a person that loves stories, but is a visual learner, TV has always been the perfect way for me to watch stories unfold. A lot of people love reading because they get to interpret the story, people, places and things in their mind however they want to. The problem is that imagination takes a … Continue reading The 2023 Season was a Disaster 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. He is as green as Eggs and Ham. He is as green as the Redwood Forest. He is as green as the Hulk … Continue reading The Brinch who Stole Christmas…Vacation
