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

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 what if only one person … Continue reading Standing No-vation Bitter Friday Giftures

Flying the coop Friday Giftures
I'm know most people don't fly the coop until they are at least 18 years old, but as a 15 year old...employee, I feel like I'm immature enough to make a failure out of myself in the big bad world of not here.

Bitter Miscalibration Friday Giftures
If you've ever watched the cable channel IFC, you know that their slogan is "Always on, slightly off."

I Spy with my Bitter Eye something Friday Giftures
When we were young, we went on road trips for our vacations, because we liked cramming 7 people in a van and trying to get to know each other more. At least the rest of the family did.

Who’s your Best Friend? Friday Giftures
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKHMqTUBQkY I see it everyday. Littered across different blogs, or on Instagram feeds, or even on the antiquated Facebook.

They are smiling in photos, or happily sitting on beach chairs, or going on hikes through the woods, or … Continue reading Who’s your Best Friend? Friday Giftures
Mowing down the Friday Giftures
A blade of grass. Swaying back and forth in the rhythm of the summer night's warm breeze. Not a care in the world as it feels the purple sunset's warmth cascade down its back.

I've always fancied myself to be a bit of a rebel.

Not all the time, but sometimes when I'm coming up with ideas for the subject of my Friday Giftures, I ask my son to give me a word, any word.

Turbo Charged Friday Giftures
Wreck-It Ralph is one of my favorite movies not only because it's about video games, but because it's all about villains.
