Bitter Rivalry of the Week: Social Media Engagements vs. People Engagements
I've spent an awful lot of time this semester hearing a lot of social media "buzzwords". There is reach, user generated content, remarketing, content curation, funneling, conversions, and native advertising. But there is one word I've heard more than any this semester and not really wanting to hear:engagements. It's probably because I go to a … Continue reading Bitter Rivalry of the Week: Social Media Engagements vs. People Engagements
Throwing in the Towel Friday Giftures
I've never been in a fight before, other than that one time in college when I was walking home, minding my own business and three guys attacked me. It's not important why they attacked (probably because they were a bunch of bullies, or because I egged them on. Again not important which). Of course, … Continue reading Throwing in the Towel Friday Giftures
Clickbait Bitterness
The greatest invention of our time, the World Wide Web, is a dark, devious place, where you can find terrible, horrible, no good, very bad things. Things like cat videos, Facebook updates from your "friends" and blogs that talk about bitterness. Yeah, there are a few good things that come from the internet, like … Continue reading Clickbait Bitterness
Things that are hanging on for dear life
As I sit here staring out the window at the snow gently, slowly and bitterly pounding the ground and every other obstacle in its destructive path, I reflect back poorly on the entire last week. Just like the snow clings hard and doesn't let go until the warm air of the sun destroys it, I … Continue reading Things that are hanging on for dear life
Bowling Alley Friday Giftures
So I wasn't bowling the other day and I was trying to strike up a conversation with someone, just kidding, why would I ever do that? Anyways, I was driving in the wrong lane, when I came upon something in the gutter...ball, and it struck me that I needed to do something this coming … Continue reading Bowling Alley Friday Giftures
It’s snow fair Friday Giftures
Don't you just love when it is the first snow of the year and everyone drives on the road like they are one of those horses that are just born and are trying to walk for the first time? I really do enjoy seeing all the cars in ditches, and cars sliding around like … Continue reading It’s snow fair Friday Giftures
Least Favorite Day of the Week Giftures
I know you guys have been dreading this day all week. Friday's are the worst I know. You had your stressed out Monday where you forgot to do your assignment, then Tuesday when you had to wait in line all day, then Wednesday where you had to figure out how to make Miley leave the … Continue reading Least Favorite Day of the Week Giftures
The Ultimate Bittersurvivor
Remember that game show Survivor? Do you remember how they placed people on an island with only a few provisions? They had to fend for food, and make their own shelter and compete in challenges against another team of survivors and then they had to vote one off every week. I think Tom Hanks was … Continue reading The Ultimate Bittersurvivor
Cursed Friday Giftures
As you probably have heard, the Cubs won the World Series the other night. If you haven't it's because you were hiding in a bunker for the last 108 years and didn't know that it was such a big deal. If you were hiding in a bunker, welcome back. A lot has happened since you … Continue reading Cursed Friday Giftures
Bitter Haunted Houses
It's that bitter time of the year where stinky little goblins dressed up as kids dressed up as hoodlums start invading neighborhoods and asking for free candy. Holding their little pillowcases out, saying Trick or Treat. They are trying to get something from my good candy stash, but I know better than that. I always … Continue reading Bitter Haunted Houses
My Bitter Exotic Travel
Judging by all the things I've been talking about doing lately, you probably think I've been working really hard. You know, like sitting in the stands watching football, or sitting in class pretending to pay attention with my eyes closed. Or sitting in a study area, pretending to type papers, or sitting in our van … Continue reading My Bitter Exotic Travel
Scary Season Friday Giftures
According to my daughter, we are in spooky season. It's kind of funny that she seems to like it so much considering that she is afraid of just about everything. But hey, aren't we all? Afraid of rejection, and fear itself and hair in our food? If it wasn't for all of the stuff … Continue reading Scary Season Friday Giftures
Birthday Bitterness Friday Giftures
Once again another birthday came and went and I got nothing. I don't know what everyone's problem is, but I'm getting a little sick of my son having a birthday and no one getting me any presents. It's kind of selfish that everyone pays attention to him and not me all day. I mean … Continue reading Birthday Bitterness Friday Giftures
Bitter Ben Branding
I've been paying way too much attention in class which is kind of disappointing because I thought I would come to this school and just slide right into my old freshman year habits, which was sleep in all the time, play pranks on the other dorm hall and flunk classes with my sunglasses on. Apparently … Continue reading Bitter Ben Branding
Standing No-vation Bitter Friday Giftures
I think we give out way too many standing ovations. Why aren't we more picky when it comes to doing them? And once one person stands because they kind of liked something, now the rest of us are forced to stand too, even if we didn't like it? And what if only one person … Continue reading Standing No-vation Bitter Friday Giftures
The Fallacy of Bitter Friday Giftures
There is this assumption that the only reason I do Friday Giftures is so that I can steal find the greatest gifs from all over the interland and steal them for the purpose of me making fun of them. And that assumption is completely true. I've stated many times that it is my goal … Continue reading The Fallacy of Bitter Friday Giftures
Bitter Field Trip
This summer has been just full of it. Ever since it started way back in 2016, it has been nothing but a headache. In early May, we decided to take an Indiana Jones sized leap of faith across the chasm and move with me having no job, or any promise of income when we got … Continue reading Bitter Field Trip
My Bitter Guest Post on Suzie’s Speaks
I know your Sunday is super busy filled with activities such as laying around, getting ready for brunch at 11 am and hanging out on your 40 foot yachts, but I'm going to ask you to interrupt your super important plans and spare a square of your time and ask you to run(or walk or … Continue reading My Bitter Guest Post on Suzie’s Speaks
Air Bitter N Bitter
It's that time of year when the sun is out, the birds are chirping, the days are longer and the porch is calling for you to drinking a nice refreshing lemonade. The kids are out playing in the yard, running through the sprinklers or happy playing in the yard. So why not kill that buzz … Continue reading Air Bitter N Bitter
