I am not a multi faceted personality. I am about as interesting as watching toast flavored, grass colored paint drying. I might appear on social media as only a boring dude, but that is because I'm only posting the highlights of my personality. If you followed me around in real life, first of all quit … Continue reading The Reason I became a Bitter Blogger

Bitter News From the Couch Vol. 4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6gkP800Zbs You know that friend you have that you can only handle every once in a while? The one that is only slightly tolerable in small doses? The one that might accidentally throw out a pun that is funny, but then emboldened by the laughter of the first pun, keeps going? The one that stays … Continue reading Bitter News From the Couch Vol. 4
Taking you all to School Friday Giftures
This is the kind of week I dream about. I was off this whole week so I could watch the kids, so my wife could go on a trip. This was my chance to be lazy. The chance for me to lay on the couch, watch TV and do not much. Well, that's all it … Continue reading Taking you all to School Friday Giftures
Mute Button Bitterness
About 14 years ago, our life was feeling a little gray. Things were fine, but there was just something little missing. We just had a feeling like our family wasn't...quite complete. There was color in our life, but we needed a little more. We had many nervous conversations about why, how much, if we were … Continue reading Mute Button Bitterness
Bitter Ben’s Video Game
Sometimes life just sucks and you need to get away. It could be that you walked outside at 4:50 and it was dark and you ran into the invisible nightmare called a Spiderman's web. Or your engine light might go on again for you tire being flat. Or you might have grabbed 13 items at … Continue reading Bitter Ben’s Video Game
Bitter Rivalry of the Week: My stomach vs. My Face
As the trees continue their jerky behavior by littering all their leaves on the ground, and not picking up after themselves, as the grass continues to die a slow painful death, and as the snowman continue to be wait in icy cold anticipation for the weather to be just right for them to come out … Continue reading Bitter Rivalry of the Week: My stomach vs. My Face
Bitter Ben Presents: The First Annual Friday Gifture Slam Dunk Contest
Basketball season is back and bitter than ever. The excitement is in the air. Teams all still think they have a chance. Teammates are getting to know each other and they are still trying to learn their new locker combinations. Still talking about their crushes and what kind of homework they are getting from … Continue reading Bitter Ben Presents: The First Annual Friday Gifture Slam Dunk Contest
The Bitter Referee
The Seattle Seahawks have been pretty famous for being on the beneficial side of calls in the last few years. There was the "Fail Mary" call about three years ago on Monday Night Football, and there was the call about the fumble in the end zone that allowed them to win earlier this year. You … Continue reading The Bitter Referee
The Bitter Offensiveness of Cheetos
I don't know about my other fellow bloggers, but I've noticed several things over the 3 1/2 years of doing posts on 4-5 post a week clip. One of the biggest takeaways I've had is that you never know which posts will do well and which ones will fail. In fact, it seems like the … Continue reading The Bitter Offensiveness of Cheetos
Bitter Rivalry of the Week: Introverts vs. Extraverts
There are two kinds of people in the world, introverts and extroverts. Some claim there are weirdo's called ambiverts (a combination of both), but then again, some people claim there is such a thing as unicorns, dragons and people that don't like Cheetos. Since those kind of people technically don't exist, there has been a … Continue reading Bitter Rivalry of the Week: Introverts vs. Extraverts
Scaredy Cat Bitter Friday Giftures
For some reason, around this time of year, fears seem to pop up as an issue. People seems to want to talk about their fear of spiders or ghosts or the dark or cholesterol or the way too upbeatness of SpongeBob. Maybe it's because Halloween brings the spookiness out of people, or this time … Continue reading Scaredy Cat Bitter Friday Giftures
Pest Control for Humans
Cities have had a long history of having protectors of their fair citizens. Superman has long protected the people of Metropolis from its powerful alien enemies. Batman has learned to fight dirty and in the dark to protect the citizens of Gotham. And Spiderman gracefully glides across, above and through the skyscrapers to protect New … Continue reading Pest Control for Humans
Watercooler Bitterness
A couple of nights ago, my daughter watched a new episode of her favorite show Gravity Falls (which is semi grown up Disney Show ). It was the Part 1 of a very big story arch, and while I watched her watch the show, I recognized a little bit of myself in her. She looks … Continue reading Watercooler Bitterness
Fit Bitterness
According to the many commercials on the television thing, I'm supposed to be doing a lot of fitting in. First there was the commercial run by the U.S. Postal Service advertising their priority mail box. "If it fits, it ships," they said. So I crammed all the heavy metal explosives along with a ticking clock, … Continue reading Fit Bitterness
Hospital Bitterness
I may or may not have recently visited the hospital recently. I think some people love them, because they help save lives or help sick people or other important jobs like that. I get that hospitals don't make much money, because they charge so little for their services. I have heard from a reliable source … Continue reading Hospital Bitterness
Gears of Bitterness
One of my favorite video games of all time is Gears of War 3. It's a manly tale of bros just hanging out, watching TV, eating pizza, playing video games, saving each others places in line. They also like to go shoot a few rounds at the range and hang out at each others houses. … Continue reading Gears of Bitterness
I need Bitter Sound Effects in my Life
As you know, I'm a long time fan of television and movies. The thing I like about television and movies is that I don't have to do anything. What else is there where you can lay on your couch, eat pizza and not do things? The internet? Nope, that takes pushing buttons and paying attention. … Continue reading I need Bitter Sound Effects in my Life
Our Bitter Weather Explained By Aliens
I don't know if you've noticed in the last few years or so, but the weather has been a little bitter. You know what I'm saying. The east coast has been buried in snow the last few years, the midwest has been underwater more than the mortgages in 2008, and even the South, who hasn't … Continue reading Our Bitter Weather Explained By Aliens
Bitter Rivalry of the Week: Halloween vs. Christmas
As soon as August ends, summer is unofficially over and what I call the holiday quadrant of the year begins. Let's be honest, no one gets out music and decorations for Flag Day. Or puts up lights in their house for and starts getting ready for St. Patrick's Day. Everybody is pretty patient for holidays … Continue reading Bitter Rivalry of the Week: Halloween vs. Christmas
Bitter Introductions to Friday Giftures
This week we had some sales reps for our company in town, some of whom we have never met, so lunches were arranged between different departments so we could meet each other. Meeting new people is the worst. Pretending to care about what someone says, doing the dreadful small talk that all introverts hate … Continue reading Bitter Introductions to Friday Giftures
