Lot's of people got shiny and new stuff in the last few days. Shininess and brightness can be distracting as babies and cats know. Even I get distracted by laser pointers. I've been known to chase them from time to time (meaning always). By chase I mean with my eyes. And by lasers I mean … Continue reading In case you missed it…because you were playing with your shiny new toys

Bitter Anticipation
It is days like this, the day after a vacation, holiday or break when I don't feel like working, moving or even breathing, or days like this that feel like a combination of the listlessness of Monday, the overwhelmingness of Tuesday, and the desperation of Thursday, that I realize why I am such a bitter time off anticipator. Call … Continue reading Bitter Anticipation
A Bitter Christmas to All, and To All a Bitter Christmas
Come on in, there's plenty of room. Have a seat by the fire. Arizonians and Brazilians with your shorts and T-shirts, you are in the corner, where the bitter draft comes in. North Dakotians, Russians and Canadians(and other northerners) with your parkas that could keep you warm in Anarctica, keep your thermal gloves, thermal underwear and your earmuffs on … Continue reading A Bitter Christmas to All, and To All a Bitter Christmas

In case you missed it…because you were out shopping
Shopping at this time of year is like entering the gladitorial arena of ancient Shoptopolis. Avoid it at all costs. If you want to survive take a little advice and do it the lazy way like me.

Friday Picture Busy Bitterness
For some reason this time of year seems to be busier than almost every other time of the year. There seems to be all kinds of parties, get togethers, gatherings at malls, and tidings of bitter cheer on Facebook.

The Bitter Ben Holiday Variety Hour and a Half Special
Remember gathering around the Tube of many colors as a family when you were a kid? Remember those old Holiday Special Variety Shows that celebrities did on television where they would decorate a tree or have a snowball fight(I especially enjoyed when the snowball fight went just a little too far) or sat around opening presents? All so they had the excuse to sing Holiday … Continue reading The Bitter Ben Holiday Variety Hour and a Half Special
In case you missed it…You were out in the cold
I understand there was a cold front that came your way this week. Cold air was blasted, wind blew, snow flew. That seemed like a good excuse to be left out in the cold on the bitter happenings on the blog this week. On the other hand, some of you live in California, Texas … Continue reading In case you missed it…You were out in the cold
Bitter Gift Friday Pictures
It's that time of year when having lots of friends and family really doesn't pay off.

Bittersauraus Rexstinction
If you have been to a crappy kid movie lately, then you were probably forced to see previews of even more crappy kid movies, thus perpetuating the amount of kid movies that you will see in the future. The only way out of that cycle is to be a crappy parent like me and tell them no. One … Continue reading Bittersauraus Rexstinction
If you missed it…you were probably in a tryptophan coma
A long time ago (a whole Thursday ago), you went to someone's house that didn't like you, and you didn't like them, but you were forced to because they insisted that you not sit at home alone blissfully playing video games or laying on the couch. You drove three hours to get to their house, … Continue reading If you missed it…you were probably in a tryptophan coma
Bitter Dreams Toy Company
When I am asked to give a speech at seminars, usually as the Principal of the B.I.T.T.E.R. School of Bitterness, I don't prepare. A long time ago, I would pore over notes, walk around talking to myself and even have dillusions of more than my parents clapping at a rousing speech that I would give. Then … Continue reading Bitter Dreams Toy Company
In case you missed it…This will help you forget
Don't you hate when you forget something? For me, it is either my wallet, phone, keys, 3DS, or that today is Monday. You on the other hand, may have forgotten to read some of my bitter posts.

Unlucky Friday Picture Bitterness
Some people might not call me unlucky, but they would be wrong. It is all about perspective. Some may say that I am lucky that I have a job. I say I'm unlucky that I have to work here. Some may call me lucky because I have enough money for food, and sometimes water. I … Continue reading Unlucky Friday Picture Bitterness
Bitter Things that Won’t Go Away
Thanksgiving time is upon us, which means that most people will either take advantage of other people's hospitality and eat their food, take up space on their couch and leave way later than they should have leaving nothing but turkey bones and leftover scents(not the potporri variety) or they will have to host someone who … Continue reading Bitter Things that Won’t Go Away
Line Bitterness
According to the website Mathisfun.com(Mathis might be fun, but math is nothing but pure bitterness), the geometric definition of a line is three things. 1: It has no thickness, 2. It is straight (has no curves) and C. It extends in both directions (it has no end). I happen to believe that some lines are … Continue reading Line Bitterness
Bitter Reasons to be tall
I guess today is a holiday, though how would I know it? I'm at work, doing work (well, not right now) and I see no evidence of it being a holiday at all other than there are some oversized spiders hanging from the ceiling and spider webs everywhere. There is also some weirdo that doesn't have … Continue reading Bitter Reasons to be tall
If you missed bitterness this week, your aim was a little off
You didn't miss much, just every bit of bitterness I could summon. I'm no bitter wizard, but I did conjure up some Bitterness Words and Pictures this week. I apperated some Bitter Posts. I went on Bitter Strike because if the grocery stores and governments can strike, so can I. Strikes against traffic, meeting strikes, … Continue reading If you missed bitterness this week, your aim was a little off
Bitter Scariness
This is the time of year I dread. People are dressed up in costumes, offices are doing their best to immitate living in an overgrown batcave, and worst of all people are being encouraged to eat differently than other times of the year. That's right, October is the month we celebrate World Vegetarian's Day(at least you … Continue reading Bitter Scariness
Autumn Bitterness
I've heard enough. There are a whole bunch of people out there on WordPress, television, Facebook and of course, the most popular social network, MySpace proclaiming their love of Autumn. All I know is that at least 7 of my life's top 15 most embarrassing moments are named after this season. You can say about all the nice things … Continue reading Autumn Bitterness
