As we all know Thanos snapped half the universe in Avengers Infinity War. It was a bad time in the universe what with half the people dying, but he didn't realize all the other things he snapped. He didn't realize that he also snapped my sanity as well. I probably thought things were fine last … Continue reading Snapping the Bitterverse Friday Giftures
Cancellation Bitter Friday Giftures
Baseball is kind of a weird sport. The majors actually start in late March, which is technically spring, in some places, but in places like Chicago, and Minnesota and Milwaukee (which all have major league teams) not so much every year. Baseball depends on not having weather issues. Well, in the little leagues, where … Continue reading Cancellation Bitter Friday Giftures
End Game Bitterness
I am trying to think of a theme for my Bitter Friday Giftures, but right now all I can think about is the Avenger's Endgame. I am not going to be able to see it this weekend, because of things, but I know that most people will. That is about a billion people I … Continue reading End Game Bitterness
Down The Rabbit Hole Bitterness
The best part about the place where we live, is we don't have to do any yard work. It's nice not only because we are old and our backs are giving out, but because our son is lazy and would want money to do it. At our old house in Seattle, we had a pretty … Continue reading Down The Rabbit Hole Bitterness
Job Store Bitterness
I grew up in South Dakota, which is basically a black hole for anything cool, including me. I blame the fact that I am the world's leastest cool person on growing up there. Man, did we struggle to come up with entertaining things to do for fun. We got tired of tipping all the … Continue reading Job Store Bitterness
Baseball Bitter Friday Giftures
When I was growing up, baseball was my favorite sport...until I got hit in the gut with a fastball and had a fear of a little tiny ball going 60-100 miles an hour speeding right at me. I also realized that baseball was a lot of just standing around watching a pitcher throw to … Continue reading Baseball Bitter Friday Giftures
Are you a Bozo Bitterness
When I was younger and really bored I used to watch WGN in Chicago. In the mornings, they had this show that included Bozo the Clown and he would have kids on the show. They had this game that challenged kids to throw ping pongs into big buckets and the farther they went, the better … Continue reading Are you a Bozo Bitterness
Cloning Dogs Bitter Friday Giftures
My wife just popped in and told me that people have way too much money. Obviously, I agreed and told her that we were on the opposite end of the scale, IE, we have way too little. I then asked her why she said that, and she said that some family paid $50,000 to … Continue reading Cloning Dogs Bitter Friday Giftures

April Foolish Bitter Friday Giftures
If you guys have followed the blog for a while, you probably know that I have always done an April Fools joke every year. Some fairly good, other's awful and this year, well, it wasn't very good, but apparently most of you fell for it anyways. I did not ever get a tweet from … Continue reading April Foolish Bitter Friday Giftures
Dwight Shrute Bitterness
As you all should know, I am a huge fan of The Office. Ever since I saw the episode where the people of Dunder Mifflin Scranton go to the lake for the Beach Games while Michael sneakily tries to pick his replacement, I was hooked. My favorite part was when Dwight picks his team and … Continue reading Dwight Shrute Bitterness
Man Cave Bitter Friday Giftures
I'm almost 46 and I still don't have a man cave. Something needs to be done about this. I will even go as far as digging a few holes in the ground, but I don't know if my HOA will approve that. In that case, I should tell them that I won't dig holes if … Continue reading Man Cave Bitter Friday Giftures
Rubik’s Cube Bitterness
I grew up in the 80's, which was a very colorful time. We moved from New York to South Dakota right as the country was transitioning from disco to MTV. Micheal Jackson was at the peak of his powers, and I was finally starting to become a human (I don't remember much before I was … Continue reading Rubik’s Cube Bitterness
Can I play your phone Bitter Friday Giftures
My son is 11 and he already makes me think that he will work for the United Nations someday. He is always negotiating high powered contracts and he is relentless. For instance, we recently lost Xbox Live Gold, which allows you to play games with your friend over Xbox. I decided that as much … Continue reading Can I play your phone Bitter Friday Giftures
Down into the Sink Hole
You should probably expect all my writing these days to focus on the bitterness of job hunting and how horrible it is, since it is taking all my focus. So whether I say it straight out or not, everything I am bitter about is either that or a metaphor for that. A few weeks ago, … Continue reading Down into the Sink Hole
Where is the ALL THE STUFF OREO’S Bitter Friday Giftures
There are a lot of myths out there. Dementors, Bigfoot, and the Loch Ness Monster. I think people love myths because they love the mythtery of the unknown. There are a lot of unexplained things in this world, like Madea. The most recent myth that I have found is the Oreo's ALL THE STUFF … Continue reading Where is the ALL THE STUFF OREO’S Bitter Friday Giftures
Job Hunting Vs. Dating
I recently told you about when I was in 7th grade and we did a career day in school. I decided to go into advertising because it seemed glorious and fun and I wasn't good at art, and was terrible at math. The other reason I decided on Advertising was because it started in the … Continue reading Job Hunting Vs. Dating
Seven Years Bitter Luck
I'm usually pretty terrible at remembering anniversaries, which is why I decided to get married in 2000, so I would always know how many years I've been married. It has been pretty foolproof, and the end of summer date is also good, so we can always go on a chill date, while we make fun … Continue reading Seven Years Bitter Luck
New Kids on the Block Bitter Friday Giftures
In the background, I'm listening to the New Kids on the Block doing their best to make a comeback. I don't deny old people trying to make a comeback as I'm attempting to do right now, but at least they need to rebrand and call themselves Older Dudes on the Clock or something. One … Continue reading New Kids on the Block Bitter Friday Giftures
Bitter Vacation Absence
I was reading this article about a guy that works for Nintendo. He is the creator of Super Smash Bros., one of Nintendo's most popular games. I don't know if it mentioned how old he was, but this guy has an insane passion for working on this game. Basically it has been his life's work … Continue reading Bitter Vacation Absence
