Bitter Giving

Thanksgiving is in a few days, in case you forgot or don't live around where I do.  For many, it is a time to reflect about the sales you have to go to on Black Friday, before you cram as much food as you can down your turkey hole, watch football all day and do … Continue reading Bitter Giving

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

Dangling that Bitter Carrot

There is probably some sort of reason why I get up at 5:30 in the morning, fall asleep in the shower, put some clothes on, shave this freaking face, get in a car, hop on the train with like a billion people that give me bitter stares, get off the train and walk like 15 … Continue reading Dangling that Bitter Carrot

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

I Feel A Disturbance In the Bitterness Today

Hey everyone, I would not be the world's leading authority on bitterness if I didn't post something today. Since I had my head in the sand(by that I mean head leaned over pretending to do paper while actually sleeping) working on a paper about social media, I wasn't able to watch the news or read … Continue reading I Feel A Disturbance In the Bitterness Today

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

Bitter Bending Machines Friday Giftures

  Vending machines are way of life for many. People are so busy with their stupid jobs or running from work to school to practice to the grocery store to practice to home, that they don't have time to sit down and eat a meal. Well, it's like that for all of you, I assume.  … Continue reading Bitter Bending Machines Friday Giftures

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

Bitter Rivalry of the Week – Nephew vs. Nephew

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7xG9TfteJ0 I've talked a lot about football lately, which is kind of crazy to me, because I only have a passing interest in it.  I enjoy watching the long pass plays, but you know the thing about football? Pro football is owned by billionaires, played my millionaires, and fantasy played by thousandaires. I get them … Continue reading Bitter Rivalry of the Week – Nephew vs. Nephew

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

Humans are not meant to work in groups

Let's say you are on an African safari. You know, when you can scrape together $5000 for a trip. Let's say you actually remembered your binoculars too. So you pull out those new $200 pair of binoculars on your Safari and you see a pack of lions far enough away that they can't reasonably catch … Continue reading Humans are not meant to work in groups

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 Viral Post

I'm not sure why so many people are going to share this post, because the content is just terrible. It's not funny or inspirational or worth anyone's time, but for some reason you want to share it with your friends. It has nothing to do with the fact that I am hypnotizing you, because I … Continue reading Bitter Viral Post

The Prodigal Son Returns Friday Giftures

  They say absence makes the heart grows fonder and most of the time that totally isn't true. Think about it, when you leave your co-workers, do you miss them so bad that you forgo any of your weekend plans to be with them? If you do, you should probably get another job, because you … Continue reading The Prodigal Son Returns 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

Screw it up Friday Giftures

  Mercury must have been covered up by Neptune, and Saturn must have put a ring on Pluto on the day I was doing my school schedule, because somehow I found a way to get a Friday completely free on my class schedule. This opportunity only comes around once in a lifetime, so I have … Continue reading Screw it up Friday Giftures

Tornado Friday Giftures

  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
