A couple of weeks ago, or a week ago, (I don't remember. Do I look like I'm good at the passage of time?), I put a call out to all the people who follow this blog and told them to make memes for me or something. And the response was so underwhelming. I mean … Continue reading Bitter Memes from a Bunch of Weirdo’s (Yeah, you people)

Bitter Rivalry of the Week: Social Media Engagements vs. People Engagements
I've spent an awful lot of time this semester hearing a lot of social media "buzzwords". There is reach, user generated content, remarketing, content curation, funneling, conversions, and native advertising. But there is one word I've heard more than any this semester and not really wanting to hear:engagements. It's probably because I go to a … Continue reading Bitter Rivalry of the Week: Social Media Engagements vs. People Engagements
Bitter Giving
Thanksgiving is in a few days, in case you forgot or don't live around where I do. For many, it is a time to reflect about the sales you have to go to on Black Friday, before you cram as much food as you can down your turkey hole, watch football all day and do … Continue reading Bitter Giving
Dangling that Bitter Carrot
There is probably some sort of reason why I get up at 5:30 in the morning, fall asleep in the shower, put some clothes on, shave this freaking face, get in a car, hop on the train with like a billion people that give me bitter stares, get off the train and walk like 15 … Continue reading Dangling that Bitter Carrot

I know you guys have been dreading this day all week. Friday's are the worst I know.

I Feel A Disturbance In the Bitterness Today
Hey everyone, I would not be the world's leading authority on bitterness if I didn't post something today. Since I had my head in the sand(by that I mean head leaned over pretending to do paper while actually sleeping) working on a paper about social media, I wasn't able to watch the news or read … Continue reading I Feel A Disturbance In the Bitterness Today
Tis but a Bitter Part in this Play We Call Life
Have you ever felt too adequate? Ever felt way too appreciated by all the Twitter followers you bought for $99? Ever felt like your uniqueness as person has made you a little too special? Your athletic talent made you feel vastly superior to everyone else? Ever felt like your voice was so much better than … Continue reading Tis but a Bitter Part in this Play We Call Life
Bitter Combo’s
I've played video games my whole life. Sure the graphics were kind of cloudy in the beginning, but that's because my bitter vision hadn't quite developed as well as my lungs did that first day. I remember doing a lot of screaming that day, but it was mostly because I couldn't even get past the first … Continue reading Bitter Combo’s

Ninja Escape Bitterness
Last weekend I died. Don't worry, it didn't hurt too much. Amazingly, I can still blog from the great beyond. You are probably all so excited to hear about that. I know I owe you an explanation, but I don't always pay people what I owe right away. Perhaps, if you send a pizza my … Continue reading Ninja Escape Bitterness
Then end of the World..I mean the end of the Year Bitter Giftures
As R.E.M. said, "It's the end of the Year as we know it, and I feel bitter." As I do my end of year bitterness reviews, I realize how little I did, and I realize I can do way better next year. And by way better, I mean do way less than I did this … Continue reading Then end of the World..I mean the end of the Year Bitter Giftures
Dear Future Ben
Hey Old Bitter Ben, You will probably never see this because I assume you are wearing super thick glasses that only allow you to read huge billboard signs, but you won't ever get to see those because you are stuck inside all day. Either that or you can't drive and can only get to the … Continue reading Dear Future Ben
Bitter Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream
I have always been an entrepreneurial type of person, meaning I have all kinds of ideas that would make me rich, if I were living in a fantasy world and smart people with lots of money were blindly funding me money and other smart people were at no cost building my ideas. So obviously the … Continue reading Bitter Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream
An Inside Review of the Outside of Inside Out
So it's been pretty hot outside for the last month or so here and by that, I mean it's been in the 90's and not rainy at all. For most people that live in Cairo, you probably laugh and say, "HA HA. We live in a desert where sand and stuff gets in our eyes, … Continue reading An Inside Review of the Outside of Inside Out
The Bitter Owner’s Manual
Some people I know like to build Legos. Or rebuild engines. Or fix computers. Or put together furniture. Or mend relationships. For some reason, when they do these things, they think it brings some sort of order to the universe. It doesn't. What they don't know is that it brings something evil screaming into the … Continue reading The Bitter Owner’s Manual
Glutton for Punishment Giftures
Every afternoon, I leave my crazy job for a little bit and go to the break room. I grab my smart phone and turn on the big screen TV and I watch that game show called Let's Make a Deal. You know, the one where people dress up like deranged lunatics on Halloween so they … Continue reading Glutton for Punishment Giftures
Clothes need to start doing more
Smart phones are useful because they do like more than one thing. They actually do like 3 things. They text (with your permission, of course) they run apps, and they run the internet like a mini-boss. If you have a cool smart phone and don't depend on it to ignore people on a regular basis, you … Continue reading Clothes need to start doing more
How to Have a Super Bitter Bowl
Hello from Seattle, where in a days time, the whole city will be rioting. Either because the Seahawks won the Super Bowl, or because they didn't. Or they because the grass is too green in the downtown parks or because the mandatory 5th break per hour isn't being honored by the union, or because some … Continue reading How to Have a Super Bitter Bowl
Bitter Sell Out Giftures
It's Friday, which means we can start talking about what makes us bitter through little moving pictures. As you might now, the Super Bowl is coming up.
