Most of you, myself included, probably wanted to spend your whole weekend alone, playing video games, watching Netflix and trolling people on the internet worldwide. My guess is that you, just like me, had to spend time with either your family or your friends because "it's the holiday weekend" and "holidays are for getting together … Continue reading In case you missed it…because you were busy celebrating Independence Day by being with you Framily
Explosively Bitter Giftures
Some people think the Fourth of July (or Independence Day as some people call it) is all about independence or picnic baskets with egg salad and red, white and blue Cheetos, but they are wrong because that is an opinion and only my opinion is right. So I know you are on pins and needles, … Continue reading Explosively Bitter Giftures
In case you missed it…because you were busy getting lost in the forest
On the weekends, I rarely venture off the land mass known as leather couch island, but for some reason some miniature life form kept brow beating me to leave the island as as he does from time to time. Instead of continuing to allow my unshaven brows to receive a Mike Tyson like beating, I … Continue reading In case you missed it…because you were busy getting lost in the forest
Bitter Friday Jerktures
Hey Bitter human people (and the rest of you..). It freaking Friday and it is time to start acting like a freaking jerk. (So like I act every day. I have a few suggestions in case you need some.) Be mean to your neighbors, slow down significantly in in fast lane on the freeway, buy … Continue reading Bitter Friday Jerktures
Bitterizing Upbeat Music
Music has been on my brain a lot lately, especially this last weekend. I had the displeasure of seeing the Lego Movie because my kids "claimed" it was good and "claimed" it had a twist ending, but you should know by know how I feel about that. If you don't, you can go back to the days gone by and read … Continue reading Bitterizing Upbeat Music
In case missed it…because you were busy ruining your knees at your Father Daughter Dance
They are only knees right? It's not like I kneed them for laying down on the couch, or sitting at work or anything. Might as well dance like an idiot in front of my daughter, her friends, and their dads right? And who doesn't want to listen to music you haven't hear since you were … Continue reading In case missed it…because you were busy ruining your knees at your Father Daughter Dance
Ride or Die Friday Giftures
While I was on vacation a few weeks ago, I just happened to be flipping the stations and came upon the movie Fast and Furious 6. I hadn't seen one of those movies since the 3rd or 4th iteration and was totally curious to find out if Vin Diesel had grown as an actor. Of … Continue reading Ride or Die Friday Giftures
My Bitter Stunt Double
I've been waiting to say something mean to my co-workers all day. I know it is only 6:05 am and none of them are here yet, and they haven't said their morning stupid thing yet, or had a chance to avoid doing my work for me yet, but I am primed and pumped to ruin … Continue reading My Bitter Stunt Double
Spurs NBA Champ Bitterness
Since 1990, when I was in high school in South Dakota, I've been a fan of the San Antonio Spurs. People thought it a little strange that someone from South Dakota would be a fan of a team that was not only really far away, but a team that wasn't even regionally relevant. But I … Continue reading Spurs NBA Champ Bitterness
Bitter Worlds Colliding Gifs
It's Friday the 13th today and you know what that means. Yep. Time for some Friday Giftures. There have been a lot of collisions this week. The NBA Finals have been a collision of a team that largely depends on one person and a team that likes to share. The World Cup is starting which … Continue reading Bitter Worlds Colliding Gifs
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?
Living Down to Bitter Expectation Giftures
There has been a lot of talk in the NBA lately about legacy. Will Lebron and the Heat be able to win three Championships in a row and solidify his "legacy" as one of the greatest ever? Will Tim Duncan and the Spurs win one last one and retire as one of the best ever … Continue reading Living Down to Bitter Expectation Giftures
Bitter Conflict
One of my favorite things to do while on vacation is to go to movies with my son. Because no one appreciates the low cost of going to a movie more than a son that thinks we can just buy a new TV if he accidentally chucks a video game controller right through the … Continue reading Bitter Conflict
In case you missed it…because the media was chasing you
You just typed the blog of your life and that one person that wrote a book, accidentally followed you. All of a sudden, your blog is blowing up, and you are adding like 5 followers a month. All of a sudden, rumors are flying around about the bacon vegan meal you had, the scandalous … Continue reading In case you missed it…because the media was chasing you
Lazy Friday Giftures
I just don't feel like doing anything today. Do you blame me? I've been expending a lot of energy putting my bitterness on display, and today feels like one of those Fridays where I take a head vacation, where it looks like I am concentrating really hard on something on my computer screen, but really … Continue reading Lazy Friday Giftures
What’s the Bitter Idea?
Since I'm an introvert, (which means I only talk or listen to people when I feel like it), I have a lot of time for observation. I like to observe people because it gives me the opportunity to judge them and make wild assumptions about why I can't stand them. Of course, when people talk … Continue reading What’s the Bitter Idea?
Breaking Down the Bitter Walls
There are walls everywhere. Some are mobile and go 70 miles an hour in rush hour. Others are tiny and whiny and somehow live in the same neighborhood as your kids, want to eat all your food and mess up your house, play all your video games, then leave without a care in world, … Continue reading Breaking Down the Bitter Walls
In case you missed it..because you were Tire-d
I screwed up. I messed up big time. I had an extra day and I blew it. I didn't treat yesterday like a Ferris Bueller's Day off. I didn't put every ounce of my laziness into making it the laziest day ever. I got up relatively early. I took a shower aaand used deodorant. I … Continue reading In case you missed it..because you were Tire-d
Bitter Memory Friday Giftures
If there is something I lose more than my wallet(which of course I forgot or lost this morning), it is my memory. Every time I wake up in the morning I lose about every shred of a dream I might have had. Probably a good thing, considering how bitter my dreams probably are. Pretty much … Continue reading Bitter Memory Friday Giftures
From The Bitter May Snowstorm to Bitter Ben Gardner Newsletter Vol. 3
Seattle is one of the few places in Western hemisphere where it can go a whole year without snow from October to April, but somehow hammer us with snow in May. When I first moved here 13 years ago and witnessed the phenomenon, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The worst part was the … Continue reading From The Bitter May Snowstorm to Bitter Ben Gardner Newsletter Vol. 3
