There is an energy crisis in this country. It doesn't have anything to do with fuel, or gas, or coal or oil. This is a human energy crisis. We are so tired from staying up late playing video games, watching YouTube, watching TV or heaven forbid work, that when some of us wake up at … Continue reading The Bitter Energy Crisis

Bitter Leftovers – Quiet INTERRUPTED
We all seem to have one of those people in our lives that just can't be quiet. That just can't stand the silence. That have to verbalize every thought they have ever had ever. No matter how stupid.

Bitter Skydiving Friday Giftures
Every Sunday night, we all collectively board a small plane, with a super loud propeller, and the wind screaming in our ears so we can hardly hear each other.

Leftover Bitterness- A Bitter Symphony
My commute was hot as usual, because the air conditioning in my car didn't work because my arms didn't feel like rolling the windows down. So, of course, I was exhausted and didn't want to do anything but park...myself on the couch. But then I was hungry, but there was no plan on the … Continue reading Leftover Bitterness- A Bitter Symphony

The Epic Horribleness of Bitterflies

Making it Rain like Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls Like the Motion of the Ocean Friday Gifture
For some reason, there is this mythological romantic, almost magical alure that the ocean holds over people. The rhythm of the waves, the peaceful sounds of the seagulls. The majesty of being one with ocean while surfing, and the quiet of the air, the sand getting in every nook and cranny, the uncertainty of what … Continue reading Making it Rain like Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls Like the Motion of the Ocean Friday Gifture
An Inside Review of the Outside of Inside Out
So it's been pretty hot outside for the last month or so here and by that, I mean it's been in the 90's and not rainy at all. For most people that live in Cairo, you probably laugh and say, "HA HA.

Hand some Ben Bitterness
Hands are a pretty amazing and versatile set of things at the end of your arms. They are really good at things like punching people, avoiding handshakes, even holding strong weapons to defend and offend other people. But some video game and comic book characters are lucky enough to have other things in the place … Continue reading Hand some Ben Bitterness
Would you rather…?
You know what my favorite game show is? Jeopardy. Actually Celebrity Jeopardy. Actually Celebrity Jeopardy as portrayed by Saturday Night Live. Wanna know why? Because of the way they answer in the form of a question. Actually, it's because of the categories. Not really, it's because of Alex Trabek. Well, more because of Will Ferrell's … Continue reading Would you rather…?
Bitter Networking Network
I have many ambitions in life. One is to get an all you can eat card from Pizza Hut, another is to be able to do a 3 day video game binge where all I do is play all the video games I haven't had a chance to play in the last 20 years, and … Continue reading Bitter Networking Network
Bitter Friday Drifting Giftures
As you know, I'm a big fan of the nap. It provides me with a good way to get away from reality, because reality makes me bitter.

I've found though, that you don't always have … Continue reading Bitter Friday Drifting Giftures

The End of the Lines
I learned a few things on my vacation. "The more the merrier" is totally untrue, you can never have too much pizza (actually wait, already knew that) and lines are the most destructive thing on the planet. Let me state that again very clearly. Lines are the most destructive thing on the planet. DO NOT … Continue reading The End of the Lines
The Bitter Side of…the Sun
One night at dinner in one of the 5 star Disney cruise restaurants, I was eating one of my two entrees that night, and my son and I spent the good part of a dinner talking about being invincible and what we would do if we were so.

Last up, but certainly not the least bitter before my inevitable return is Jaclyn from The Snarky Brunette. She has been bitter from the beginning and is very straight forward on her bitter views.

You may have seen her on Long Awkward Pause as their … Continue reading Bitter Guest Post – Jaclyn from Snarky Brunette – Summer Time Isn’t Happy, It’s Purely Bitter
