I remember a unit of science in 7th grade dedicated to learning about kinetic energy. I couldn't imagine what kinetic energy was then, because it was only a concept and I'm a visual learner. I know what it is now, because for the last several years, I've been one of the adult leaders of a … Continue reading Out of Focus BFG’s

Bitter Writer’s Strike
When I was a freshman in college, my first class, in my first semester at 7 am, was an English class. I remember it well for two reasons. The first, was that the teacher reminded me of a combination of George McFly from Back to The Future and Bern Gorman (the guy that would have … Continue reading Bitter Writer’s Strike
Cosplay Bitterness
We all have a Mecca of sorts. A place in the world that we dream of going someday, because it has some sort of significance to us. Some people would love to visit the North Pole and have a visit with Santa Claus, because they love being cold. Others would love to visit the homeland … Continue reading Cosplay Bitterness
Filling in the Plot Holes BFG’s
The weather people in Utah spent all last summer moaning and complaining about the apocalyptical drought we were going through. They warned us to stop watering our lawns and demanded that we stop drinking unless we were on drop from dying of dehydration. We were assured if we brushed our teeth and let the water … Continue reading Filling in the Plot Holes BFG’s
The Bitter Corruption Industry
Ten years ago, I was living in Seattle at the peak of my misery. If you've lived in Seattle, you know there is only two seasons. One lasts 11 and a half months and it's cloudy, cold, rainy, wet and windy. The other two weeks, the sun vacationed in Seattle, but it was only for … Continue reading The Bitter Corruption Industry
Enter the Matrix BFG’s
The other day I decided to do something really different at work. After listening to another podcast about why I am dying at slow death every day from sitting too much, I stood up, and walked away from my desk. It wasn't for very long, of course, but enough to actually make a journey to … Continue reading Enter the Matrix BFG’s
Scouts Make Me Shout Bitterness
When I was young, I loved the Transformers. Coming home to watch the Transformers was my reward for making it through a hard 6-hour day of school. One of my favorite characters was the advanced scout, Mirage, because he could turn invisible and would warn the Autobots of an early attack by Decepticons. I must … Continue reading Scouts Make Me Shout Bitterness
April Fool Bitter Friday Giftures
Other than the my birthday and Christmas, April Fool's Day is probably my favorite day of the year. It was especially awesome back in the day when the company I worked for had year end on March 31st, which meant we often had to stay until really late pretending to work or something. So the … Continue reading April Fool Bitter Friday Giftures
Mascot Bitter Friday Giftures
Why do you think March Madness the ultimate time of year for so many people? Well, some say it is for college basketball. You know, the crazy upsets, the buzzer beaters and the nail biting games. Or it could be the one-in-a-million shot that you could accidentally fill out a Final Four bracket in your … Continue reading Mascot Bitter Friday Giftures
Why do I watch Bitter TV?
Some people might know me as a person that works and does things and when I get the time, I watch television. The fact of the matter is that I'm not so much a really lazy person, but more of a semi-ambitious couch.  I do get up on occasion to feed myself and check … Continue reading Why do I watch Bitter TV?
U.S. News and World Report Top US Colleges Bitterness
I was reading the Internet yesterday (I will review this interesting novel when I finish it, I.E. never) and I got to the part where they were reviewing Colleges in the US News and World Report. According to the article there was a huge upset of Harvard by a small private college named Princeton. Seems Harvard … Continue reading U.S. News and World Report Top US Colleges Bitterness
Rescue show Bitterness
I've got an issue with something. I know right? There's a first for everything. Just pay attention because this is really important to me and no one else. I watch a lot of things on television, mostly from my peripheral because I'm almost always on my laptop reading what smart people have to say (bloggers) … Continue reading Rescue show Bitterness
Bitter Entertainment News (B.E.N.)
As a lifelong ignorer of news, I usually have no idea what is happening in Bosnia or Washington DC or even Seattle. Sure I've heard of the occasional Disney princess (Miley Virus anyone?) going awry or the forecast of an actual sunny day in Seattle, but the news interferes with me playing video games or napping, which are way more … Continue reading Bitter Entertainment News (B.E.N.)
Dogs next door Review
I think by now most people know how bitter neighborhood kids make me. They smell, they steal food ask for food all the time, and play video games all day long (that is my job, not theirs). The worst part is that they have parents that ignore them much better than I do with mine. … Continue reading Dogs next door Review
Quote Bitterizing
You all have at least one of these pain in the bitter people as a Facebook friends. It's not the boring pictures friend, or the promote their child's terrible talent recital friend, or the overshare about whatever "procedure" they are having that I don't want to know about friend, or the brag about their vacation to Hawaii … Continue reading Quote Bitterizing
Bicycle Bitterness
Remember the feeling you had the first time you learned how to do something? The first time you learned to fail at math and got an "F" on your report card? Or almost drowned learning how to swim? Or got your first cavity, by brushing your teeth improperly or even got bitter for the first … Continue reading Bicycle Bitterness
Kickstarter Bitterness
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a post, hoping to find a bitter rival out there on the Internet. I got a lot of response from eager goody two shoes wishing to make this a nicer place to live. Bunch of weirdos. I fought and defeated many nice rivals. Then, all of a sudden … Continue reading Kickstarter Bitterness
Movie Trailer Bitterness
It is that time of year. You know what I'm talking about. Summer. Okay, not calendarly for another 3 weeks. And not weather wise because it is still gray and cloudy. Not in school terms either, because our kids aren't out yet. And not summer barbeque wise yet, because we haven't had any summer bar-b-que's at work … Continue reading Movie Trailer Bitterness
Day after Bitterness
I am a bitter forward thinker. A bitter visionary. While others are thinking about things that make them bitter in the present, I am looking forward to things that will make me bitter in the future. I don't look at the past and stew over past bitterness or live in the moments bitterness like most … Continue reading Day after Bitterness

I am an ambitious person when it comes to not doing things and being lazy. Â While I don't have time during the week (Monday-Friday) to do laziness, I do my best to plan for it during work hours. Â Obviously, I try to keep work to a minimum at my job. Â No need to get too … Continue reading Lazy Saturday Bitterness
