I am so far behind on the news, that I just found out that not far from here, north of Salt Lake, there was a tornado that caused a quite a stir. Doesn't surprise me in the least because there has been a tornado of activity around here, which sucks because I am a … Continue reading Tornado Friday Giftures

My Bitter Expendable Life
In the midst of all of it, the craziness, the new classes, the new schedule, the getting up at 5:30 am in the morning again, to the going to bed at midnight, to the projects, the football practice and homework times 3, I found time to watch of all movies, The Expendables 3. Let's go … Continue reading My Bitter Expendable Life
Rolling the Dice Friday Giftures
I feel like I failed you this week. Not only have I done almost no posting, but I also did a super serious one that hardly contained any bitterness other than to be bitter about younger people than me, trying to teach me something. I don't know if it was opposite day, or I … Continue reading Rolling the Dice Friday Giftures
From the Young Padawan’s
Recently, I have had several series of dreams that have had continuous plot lines that have gone to two or three parter's. The common thread through all of them is that they are things I've done before. It was places I've previously worked, places I've already visited and things I've already experienced. The twist on … Continue reading From the Young Padawan’s
My observations at the Football Game as People Watcher(I mean judger)
As a bachelor degree holding, magna cum laude student of the introversion arts, I major in people watching. From malls to museums, from forests to forts, I love to observe people in their natural or unnatural habitats. Not only am I good at it, but it requires little effort to see people do whatever it … Continue reading My observations at the Football Game as People Watcher(I mean judger)
Fry em up in a pan Bitter Fry-day Giftures
Frying things up in a pan is not a good idea for a person like me because the results are usually disastrous. Probably because smoke bellows to warn the neighbors, fire alarms go off and a new color of burnt black is invented between charcoal and crow. It's usually best to find a Red … Continue reading Fry em up in a pan Bitter Fry-day Giftures
Bitter House on the Prairie
Every time I have to go outside to do some manual labor, ie work on my pizza garden, cut down a tree, or mow a lawn, I feel like I'm one of those freaking kids in Little House on the Prairie. Goodness gracious, it's 2016. Isn't there an app for this yet? I think the … Continue reading Bitter House on the Prairie
Bitter Rivalry of the Week: College Football vs. 3rd Grade Football
I was an odd duckling growing up. I guess that makes sense when I was born in California and lived there until I was 6, then moved to New York and lived there until I was 8. Then moved to South Dakota until I was 18. That kind of cultural yanking can make a … Continue reading Bitter Rivalry of the Week: College Football vs. 3rd Grade Football
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
Bringing Home Stray’s
I know this isn't a very popular thing to say, but don't worry, because I've never been very popular. I've never been a big animal lover. My family has had pets before, but I've never been personally responsible for them. We had a cat that annoyed the heck out of me when I was growing … Continue reading Bringing Home Stray’s
Bitter Rivalry of the Week: Dragonflies vs. Hummingbirds
Yesterday while we were watching my son play his first tackle football game, it was super hot and sunny, so we decided to retreat to some shade so I wouldn't get sunburned for the seventh time this summer. Utter failure as always. When we finally sat down, we realized that we were in the middle … Continue reading Bitter Rivalry of the Week: Dragonflies vs. Hummingbirds
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
The Unlimited Pool of Dada
Once upon a time, a tall, clumsy, bitter farmer lived in a dark land near the forest. Though privileged in many ways compared to many in the land, he always found a way to complain about how bitter his life was. The cloud covered the sun too much, the air contained a foul stench, there … Continue reading The Unlimited Pool of Dada
Tis but a Bitter Part in this Play We Call Life
Have you ever felt too adequate? Ever felt way too appreciated by all the Twitter followers you bought for $99? Ever felt like your uniqueness as person has made you a little too special? Your athletic talent made you feel vastly superior to everyone else? Ever felt like your voice was so much better than … Continue reading Tis but a Bitter Part in this Play We Call Life
Bitter Friday Party Giftures
Friday's are normally associated with pizza, being lazy at work, and Parties. One of these things are not like the other. I've never much liked parties, because I don't like loud, I don't like people, I don't like talking and I don't like being on someone else's couch. In fact, the only good thing about … Continue reading Bitter Friday Party 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
A Bitter Sculpture
Many years ago, my favorite team the San Antonio Spurs took a quote from Jacob Riis to use as their motto. Riis was talking about observing a sculptor and how he was able to do so much work and have it make such a little impact. This is what he said: "When nothing seems to … Continue reading A Bitter Sculpture
Bitter Late than Never Friday Giftures
I'm pretty sure the internet/blogosphere/Wordpress has learned to adjust to life without me, but I have not learned to adjust to life without it. Even though I have taken an involuntary break for 4 days without blogging which I would never do on purpose, my thoughts are never far from bitterness. Every little slight, … Continue reading Bitter Late than Never Friday Giftures
National Laziness Day Bitterness
Early yesterday morning when I was sweating away from all the moving of boxes, and moving my body around sans couch, somebody mentioned to me that it was National Laziness Day and I couldn't have been more bitter. Here I was not only not notified about the greatest holiday this side of national pizza week, … Continue reading National Laziness Day Bitterness
Bitter Security Beach
I bet you have not been wondering at all where I have been. Which is why I'm going to tell you. Since my self inflicted unemployment, I have been not working. At least I've been trying not to. But for some reason, I keep having to pack, fight against dust bunnies, throw stuff away, which … Continue reading Bitter Security Beach
