I'm pretty sure the internet/blogosphere/Wordpress has learned to adjust to life without me, but I have not learned to adjust to life without it. Even though I have taken an involuntary break for 4 days without blogging which I would never do on purpose, my thoughts are never far from bitterness. Every little slight, … Continue reading Bitter Late than Never Friday Giftures
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. So, I'm spreading my broken wings and I'm going to fly, … Continue reading Flying the coop Friday Giftures
Bitter Miscalibration Friday Giftures
If you've ever watched the cable channel IFC, you know that their slogan is "Always on, slightly off." It's because it's the channel for hipsters, who's motto is "I liked so and so something or other BEFORE it was cool." I'm actually the anti-hipster, not only because I have a hip that always hurts … Continue reading Bitter Miscalibration Friday Giftures
A Flying Flip Friday Giftures
You know when you are on a plane going to an exotic location like Bora Bora or a history filled location like Rome or London and the plane flips over? Yeah me neither. I've never been very exotic or have much history. I have been on a plane but usually only to places like … Continue reading A Flying Flip Friday Giftures
Procrastination Friday Giftures
Procrastination. The National Pastime. More popular than basketball, football, baseball, hockey AND Jai ali. The sport takes place in offices, schools, playgrounds, stores and even hovels across the nation every day. The sport works like this. The one that holds off the longest before doing important things wins. The only reason this hasn't become … Continue reading Procrastination Friday Giftures
Dancing with the Comets Friday Giftures
Just when you thought Dancing with the Stars was running out of low level"talent" for their popular show, they resurrected themselves by finding and even less talented pool of people to mine new dancers from. They decided to spin off the show and call it Dancing with the Comets. Comets are people so barely … Continue reading Dancing with the Comets Friday Giftures
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. I preferred to fly first class to exotic locations like Paris, Japan, Australia, Hawaii and Indonesia. Unfortunately, … Continue reading I Spy with my Bitter Eye something Friday Giftures
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. Pictures of people with other people that aren't in their family. Not people that they work with. 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. Thoughts of summer's past. Soft music hangs in the air, in concert with crickets chirping. The blade feels peace, serenity. … Continue reading Mowing down the Friday Giftures

You know the feeling, whether it is when you are up for a raise or if your favorite team loses on a terrible call by the refs. Getting robbed is a way of life and it happens all the time, especially when you expect something to happen and you always want justice to prevail. … Continue reading We got robbed Bitter Giftures of the week
Juxta positioning Bitter Friday Giftures
Positioning is everything. Whether it is what position you are in line for a concert, what position you are in during a basketball game, what position you hold in a company, or position you are in traffic. The way your day goes, could be solely based on what position you sit in the company. … Continue reading Juxta positioning Bitter Friday Giftures
Fight the Power Friday Giftures
I've always fancied myself to be a bit of a rebel. Not an outward rebel that fights against society or wears hipster clothes, but a subtle shake of the fist in the air when other people aren't looking. Like when someone tells me I shouldn't eat pizza every Friday, or that we should love … Continue reading Fight the Power Friday Giftures
Sitting Down on the Friday Giftures
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. He will throw out some obvious ones, like bitter or whatever book he is reading at the time, and I deny him several times until … Continue reading Sitting Down on the Friday Giftures
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. The weird thing is that Ralph lives out in a brickyard all alone and for some reason wants to hang out with other people. Not sure why he would want to be around … Continue reading Turbo Charged Friday Giftures
Pre-Gaming Giftures
Today is Birthday Eve, which means just like New Year's Eve or Christmas Eve it is the day before the night before something. Duh. I mean really, do I need to explain that to you? Actually, it means that I'm gonna do all kinds of wild and crazy things like get pizza, ignore people, and … Continue reading Pre-Gaming Giftures
New Year’s Day Giftures
So what did you guys do last night to celebrate? Fireworks? The dropping of the ball? Toasting each other? That was a pretty awesome New Year's Eve last night right? And while I don't do New Year's resolutions because who achieves goals? I do look forward to all the bitterness this New Year will … Continue reading New Year’s Day Giftures
The Bitter 700 Club and Friday Giftures
As you know (just kidding, you have no idea) I just hit 700 posts of pure bitterness. I haven't checked with the Guinness Book of World Records (or is it a Guinness E-Book of World Records only available on Amazon Kindle. I don't know), but I'm pretty sure it is the record of something. … Continue reading The Bitter 700 Club and Friday Giftures
Chip on Your Shoulder Bitter Giftures
I was born with a overgrown chip on my shoulder which contributed to my acute bittertosis. This chip contributed to my lifelong bitter rivalry with Scouts. Last night as we went to the concert(don't get all excited, it was my son's 2nd grade space concert), which caused us to show up late for his scout … Continue reading Chip on Your Shoulder Bitter Giftures
The Jerk Store called and said they ran out of Bitter Giftures
Who is ready for this week to end? Who has had just about enough of this crap? Whose eyeballs just can't take it anymore? Yeah, me either. If you think you are sick of reading this blog for a fourth day in a row, how do you think I feel having write it for a … Continue reading The Jerk Store called and said they ran out of Bitter Giftures
Candy Crushing Friday Giftures
I'm not sure why Candy Crush is so popular, because why would you ever want to crush candy? There are a lot of things in this world that are worthy of being broken and I think while candy isn't the last on the list, it is pretty close to being the last thing I … Continue reading Candy Crushing Friday Giftures
