I've never been to a concert in my life. I don't know if it is because I like money, because I want to my ears to work, because no one has ever invited me to one, or be...oh yeah, it's because I hate crowds. We've already talked about my claustraphobia this week. That is one … Continue reading I’m ready to sell out

Lettuce Talk about this Bitterness
The first job I ever had was at Little Caeser's Pizza. I was just a burgeoning bitterling at 15 and my dad told me I had to get a job. The only reason I got the job was because the manager was new and he didn't really know what he was doing either. He didn't … Continue reading Lettuce Talk about this Bitterness
Claustraphobia Bitterness
I don't have a lot of fears, other than a crippling sense of getting older, talking to other people, social anxiety and never living up to my really low ceiling of potential. I'm not afraid of the dark, or heights, or spiders or snakes like everyone else. So maybe I do have one irrational fear. … Continue reading Claustraphobia Bitterness
Stunt Eaters
When I went to college, I dreamed that my degree would propel me to a career in copywriting at a prestigous advertising firm. I would create campaigns for the coolest brands and companies like Nike. What I realized is that my degree forgot to get me any skills. When you don't have any skills employers … Continue reading Stunt Eaters
Work Flexibility
Much of my life is about routine. I don't take adventures to tall mountains even though they are mere minutes from where I live. I also don't go outside much, even though just a little glass and roof seperate me from that. Going outside doesn't excite me. The Great Indoors are what I crave. Why … Continue reading Work Flexibility
Bitter Nomadic Wanderers
When I was younger a friend and I were walking in a neighborhood that overlooked an empty field. He was from Japan and as you know, Japan is very dense when it comes to the amount of people that live there. As we overlooked the field, he replied wistfully that he wanted to be a … Continue reading Bitter Nomadic Wanderers
My Metabolism is Broken
When I was a kid, I played basketball, mowed the lawn, snowblowed the driveway, and did several paper routes. I also worked for a bed delivery company that made me work 40 hours a week delivering beds, all at the same time. I never got tired. You could see my ribs then. That was a … Continue reading My Metabolism is Broken
Hot N Ready Bitter Friday Giftures
Pizza. The food. Cheese, pepperoni, tomato sauce, just the right amount of grease. A circle inside a square box, cut into triangles. And in most cases delivered to your door, hot and ready. Goes perfectly with soda. Foldable, sliceable, fits nicely in your hand. Fits nicely on a plate, and even when you are … Continue reading Hot N Ready Bitter Friday Giftures
Adventure Time Bitterness
I watch a little Youtube because my kids watch it like it all the time and I kind of want to know what the heck they watch all the time. It's like the new TV for millennials. Anyways, Casey Neistat is one of the ones I watch regularly and he does a lot of … Continue reading Adventure Time Bitterness
The Big One is Coming Friday Bitter Giftures
Nope we aren't talking about a big tsunami or an earthquake, though when I get up off the couch it might feel like it. No, the 45 years is coming on Monday. April is my favorite time of the year, because, of course, it isn't March. March is the worst. March is like the Monday … Continue reading The Big One is Coming Friday Bitter Giftures
24 Hour Bitness
Most of the time, I like to spread my bitterness out a little and drink it in like a fine wine. I sniff it, move my hand up towards my face and let it linger in the air a little. Well, I should have seen it all coming because I am a medium of bitterness, … Continue reading 24 Hour Bitness
National Don’t Hug A Person Bitterness
I like to go on Twitter to get all my news, because it normally comes with a bit of sass, sarcasm and of course bitterness. We really only got news from Facebook and Twitter. After our forced news outage we went through of over a year and a half, we finally have cable back so … Continue reading National Don’t Hug A Person Bitterness
April Foolish Bitterness
I just wanted to hop on here today and say a few things. First, April Fool's is the best holiday, not only because of the pranks and jokes and stuff, that make other people look like idiots, but also I get fooled a lot, and it makes me feel like an idiot. Most of the … Continue reading April Foolish Bitterness
Ben’s Bitter Book Begging
Alright bitter people. It's time for me to get a little uncomfortable and do something that I am completely awkward at. Even though I worked in customer service and telemarketing for years.

Following Trends Friday Giftures
Over the years, my blog has gone through many different changes. Okay, only a few. I've added a new banner a few times. And it seems like I've gone through multiple followers that have faded and had to find new ones. But for the most part, this blog is still about the core value … Continue reading Following Trends Friday Giftures
Driver’s License Bitterness
I grew up in South Dakota, so I've been driving a motorized vehicle since I was 14. I'm quite proud of the fact that I got my first citation in a Chevy Citation before most of you were even thinking about driving. I was driving on what the kids called the Loop in junior high … Continue reading Driver’s License Bitterness
Food Vs. Clothes Bitterness
The nice thing about having a bitter blog is that you always have something to write about. The bad thing about a bitter blog is that you always have something to write about. I could have choosen to write about a dozen things this morning because oh my gosh it is freaking Monday, after a … Continue reading Food Vs. Clothes Bitterness

I don't know what the deal is with strict dress codes around the workplace these days, but this needs to stops. I don't know why I have to change when I get home. … Continue reading Casual Friday Giftures
The Bitter Anniversary of Blog Hill Battle
I've seen things people. Six years ago, I was just a beat down customer service agent, boiling inside with all kinds of bitterness. I had had enough of talking on the phone, having unreliable co-workers and working in a toxic atmosphere. Okay, most of the toxicity was me, but you know, it was everyone that … Continue reading The Bitter Anniversary of Blog Hill Battle
Make up bitterness
I have a daughter. You might not know that because I don't mention her much. She is really shy with the media, so I don't get to interview her very much. She is kind of elusive that way, so most of what you get on her is speculation from other media outlets and pictures that … Continue reading Make up bitterness
