Remember those days when you were a tiny little thing that took naps in Kindergarten instead of prepping for the SAT's? When life was simple and instead of writing an essay about Lincoln's presidency your teacher asked you to write what you did for you summer vacation? Well, I had a week off last week … Continue reading What I did on my Summer Vacation (or Spring. Whatever)

Bitter Rivalry of the Week: Rest vs. Rust
If you are familiar with the NBA Playoffs or sports in general, you probably hear this argument tossed around about whether a team gets too much rest or not when they have a long layoff. For instance, if a really good team clinches their playoff series against a team pretty quickly, and the other … Continue reading Bitter Rivalry of the Week: Rest vs. Rust
Work-Life Imbalance
If you've noticed the lack of enthusiasm coming from this side of the bitterblogosphere, it's because I've been on vacation this week. Going to exotic locations like the grocery store, the movie theatre and the backyard to avoid getting a lawsuits because of our stupid trampoline. I don't generally go to exotic locales because you … Continue reading Work-Life Imbalance
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. There was Schwarzenegger in his iconic role in Kindergarten Cop, Stallone in the amazing Stop! or My Mom Will Shoot or Bruce Willis in the captivating Hudson Hawk. Those movies were straight up straight to video classics that every fan should watch so they revel … Continue reading Action Movie Friday Giftures
The Bitter Side of the Force
A lot of impressive things happened last night. The Golden State Warriors broke the win record with 73 games, Kobe Bryant scored 60 in his final game, I got three Kabooms in one match in Gears of War 3, and even managed to get to bed before 11:30 pm. Truly impressive physical feats last night. … Continue reading The Bitter Side of the Force
The Bitterfly Effect
If you've been paying attention (and why would you pay him? did he babysit for you? Do your taxes?) to my blog at all in the last several days, you know it was my birthday on Saturday. So at work, along with another work citizen, we celebrated our birthdays. It was festive day where I … Continue reading The Bitterfly Effect

Pre-Gaming Giftures
Today is Birthday Eve, which means just like New Year's Eve or Christmas Eve it is the day before the night before something. Duh. I mean really, do I need to explain that to you? Actually, it means that I'm gonna do all kinds of wild and crazy things like get pizza, ignore people, and … Continue reading Pre-Gaming Giftures
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. Somehow, Pixar made us believe that it was okay to for rats to infest a restaurant, make a good meal, and inspire a person to believe that no matter their dream, no matter the impossibility of achieving it, they could achieve it. … Continue reading Bitter Rivalry of the Week: Critics reviews vs. Your views
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. If not for them, cavemen and women may have just died out, because they would stayed home and watched Netflix, read books and only left the … Continue reading Introverts Employment Network
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. And I just wanted to stay in bed. And yet here I am. For some reason, I am scarily dependent when it comes … Continue reading Bitter Easter Disaster
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 was okay with that because it was really hard to find people as bitter … Continue reading Bitter Rivalry of the Week: The Red Pill vs. The Blue Pill
The Bitter 700 Club and Friday Giftures
As you know (just kidding, you have no idea) I just hit 700 posts of pure bitterness. I haven't checked with the Guinness Book of World Records (or is it a Guinness E-Book of World Records only available on Amazon Kindle. 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
