I have had a long standing relationship with food. Ever since I was a baby I required it. I'm not really sure what it has ever done for me, but for some reason I keep eating it. It is this weird thing like how humans need trees and trees need humans. I'm not sure I … Continue reading Bitter Food

Thief of Joy
I take a lot away from people around me. That includes all those people that read this blog, who are few. I would like to say that I'm kind of the Midas of Bitterness. Everything I touch turns to bitterness. So, of course, that happens to everyone I meet or talk to. In the same … Continue reading Thief of Joy
I have discipline – I can not Binge watch Netflix
Some people think they have discipline because they can make run 26.something miles and not die. Some people have discipline because they can make it through a whole work week and not complain about it. Others think they have willpower because they can not eat meat, or gluten. I guess I don't have willpower then. … Continue reading I have discipline – I can not Binge watch Netflix
Sherman Tank Bitter Friday Giftures
We have been working on getting into a house for a little while, because you know, it's nice to live in a place where you get to control the heat and the TV and can send the kids into the backyard or their room so they can leave you alone. Anyways, we decided to … Continue reading Sherman Tank Bitter Friday Giftures
A-cord-ing to who?
For Christmas, I got pretty much everything I wanted except a new computer, a new TV, a new phone, a vacation to Hawaii, a cruise to Alaska, a new car, and a new house. Seems like people are pretty insensitive to others needs this time of year. Season of giving my butt. They say to … Continue reading A-cord-ing to who?
New Year’s Changes
I've never been a huge fan of New Year's. Ever since I was young, until whatever day it was yesterday, I have never really done anything for New Year's. I'm an introvert so I've never really liked to party. I'm a very uninteresting person, so I just like to watch TV, or play video games … Continue reading New Year’s Changes
Growing Corn Friday Giftures
I was born in Southern California close to a tiny town called Los Angeles and lived there for 6 years during, you know, my formative years. Then we moved to the New York area, an even smaller podunk town called NYC. Luckily, we got out of those lands of opportunity and moved to South … Continue reading Growing Corn Friday Giftures
Shiny, Happy People
Here I am stuck at work, again during the holidays. I don't know what it takes to get a gig where you get the entire holiday off scott free (I guess you have to be a teacher or a pint sized human person), but I need to figure that thing out. Maybe the whole not … Continue reading Shiny, Happy People
Boom Roast Extras
Instant feedback is kind of a thing now a days. Each of us are now little businesses and personal brands and everything we do and say get instant analytics. We post a picture of our family and we get likes. We listen to a song on Spotify at work and all our friends that follow … Continue reading Boom Roast Extras
Howling at the Moon Bitter Friday Giftures
I wouldn't say that I'm Harry Potter, but around this time of year, I definitely get hairy. It's not so much that I'm lazy(just kidding I am), it's just that I don't feel like shaving. For some reason my teeth get a little sharper too. Maybe it is all those sugar cookies, that my … Continue reading Howling at the Moon Bitter Friday Giftures
Dome for the holidays
Over the 5 years I've been doing this blog, I've learned nothing. Though, I think it is pretty safe to say that no matter what you say, someone will be offended by what you say. You talk about Father's Day, someone chews you up and spits you out. Talk bad about cats, someone tells you … Continue reading Dome for the holidays
1000 Posts Weak
I am really good at starting things. I wrote the first draft of a novel, still in the middle of 2-17 drafts that are required to get published. I started wrapping my wife's gift for Christmas..., oh crap she is here. Hold on a minute.... Okay, that was close. I hid it in the basement … Continue reading 1000 Posts Weak

Lazy Musicians
Music and I go way back. All the way back to the 80's when Micheal J. Fox was busy time machining to our time, and Sting was following Every Breath We Took. One of my earliest memories was when Friday Night Videos came on TV and I saw Micheal Jackson tell me to Beat It. … Continue reading Lazy Musicians
Kohl’s Cash is the Devil
There has been a lot of talk about money in the news lately. At least I think so, because I don't really have the news on TV, so everything I get is from Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia, and Ben's Bitter Blog. I guess BitterCoin is a thing making headlines for all the money it seems … Continue reading Kohl’s Cash is the Devil
Loss of Interest
I remember when I was a kid and my dad helped me sign up for my first checking account. After doing my favorite thing ever, looking for a job, and going through dozens of job applications, I finally got my dream job of flattening dough at Little Caesar's Pizza. Not only did I get to … Continue reading Loss of Interest
Let’s Play Jeopardy Friday Giftures
So I have a Jeopardy question for you. Oh, wait they don't do questions. Well too bad. I do things differently around here. So suck, it Trabek. Do you know what the Sunshine State is? If you guessed Florida, you are right. And probably from there. But did you also know that unofficially it is … Continue reading Let’s Play Jeopardy Friday Giftures

Not Savage, but Average
I am always keeping up with most of the new words kids are saying. Don't ask me how, but I used to keep up with the ones when I was a youth by listening to rap music. Now that I'm old though, my daughter bans me from saying anything that is the cool thing to … Continue reading Not Savage, but Average
If I were a King for a Day Friday Giftures
If I were declared king for a day, that would be a little weird because I don't think I want to live in the UK, or other places where there was a king, but my first declaration would be that my kingly salary would continue after I was king, then resign, and go off … Continue reading If I were a King for a Day Friday Giftures
