I know I keep talking about my trip to Scotland, but it's mostly because I need to brag that I got to go there, and you didn't. Mostly though, it was a once-in-a-lifetime trip that I will never be able to afford to go to again. Being there was just so unique because my great-great-great … Continue reading Blog Paralysis BFG’s

Risk Averse Bitterness
The older I get the less time I have for shenanigans. When I was younger, I would put up with stupid stuff and stupid people, but that required a lot of energy. Now that I don't have any energy, I have no time for shenanigans. For instance, I used to play video games that were … Continue reading Risk Averse Bitterness
Middle Aged Suckery BFG’s
Do you remember that stupid game your teachers made you play when you were a kid, where the teacher tells one kid a secret and then you had to tell the next person the thing they said? At the end, the last person would try to say the thing that the first person said, and … Continue reading Middle Aged Suckery BFG’s
Reboot Bitterness
You have no idea how many times I've had to write this post. Well, okay I will tell you. Once. It was once, okay? But that doesn't mean I haven't had to write a bunch of other posts a lot of times. In fact, my best and most brilliant post ever had to be written … Continue reading Reboot Bitterness
Nobody is looking at you BFG’s
I haven't progressed much since my teen years. Just like I did in my teens, I still play video games, I still wear jeans and shorts (and jean shorts(jorts)), and still also have a driver's license just like I did as a teen. As the old expression goes, "The more things change, the more things … Continue reading Nobody is looking at you BFG’s
Taking over the media
When I was in high school, I was a big fan of not having friends. It was mostly my toxic personality, my metal mouthed Resting Bitter Face, and my massive introversion complex that allowed to skate by without friends for the most part. Unfortunately, one guy tricked me into being his friend by bribing me … Continue reading Taking over the media
With Great Power Outages, Comes Great Irritability
If you've ever seen a Spiderman movie or read any of his comics, congratulations, you are just like everyone else. It's only the most done franchise ever (besides Batman). Just last year, we had three different Spidey's from three different generations in one movie. The Tobey Maguire era for oldies like me, Andrew Garfield for … Continue reading With Great Power Outages, Comes Great Irritability
Defending My Territory
I was just looking at some photos of Scotland this morning. They really took me on a stroll down memory lane. My favorite memory of Scotland? That I wasn't at work, and I wasn't writing a stupid blog post that would get 15 views and 25 likes. Those were some pretty great memories. If only … Continue reading Defending My Territory
Getting the Job I really Want Bitterness
When I first started my job at a radio company, they had a reader board above the conference room. One of ladies in my department had just celebrated her 15 years there. I had a few reactions to that. My first reaction was, "How could anyone have the endurance to last 15 years at a … Continue reading Getting the Job I really Want Bitterness
Uniting the Clans Bitterness
It's pretty funny to me that companies actually have different departments the each have their own bosses. For instance, the company that I work for has a graphic design department, and an accounting department, and a marketing department. Some people might mistake being in a department as a team of people that work together. What … Continue reading Uniting the Clans Bitterness
Noise Cancelling Bitterness
It seems like just yesterday that I celebrated my daughter's 18th birthday. Probably because it was yesterday. It also seems like she was just born. I remember her being born 18 years ago too. She was annoying the heck out of my wife, pushing on her bladder for 3 or 4 weeks at the time, … Continue reading Noise Cancelling Bitterness
Bitter Balance BFG’s
At the end of Inception, Leo spins a metal top to see if he is floating on the piece of wood at the end of Titanic. It was just his way of figuring out if he was still in reality where a woman really would not share some of the plank with him or if … Continue reading Bitter Balance BFG’s
LARPing Bitterness
I recently returned back to the United States of America after my trip to the savage land of Scotland. It was a reminder to me how much I do not like doing things when I'm on vacation. What happened to the days of Hawaii, when I went there to relax and lay on the beach? … Continue reading LARPing Bitterness
Today’s Forecast: Bitter Winds
I have a job at a company. They have certain expectations of me. Like for instance, they expect me to be there every weekday. I'm supposed to look like I'm doing things most of the time. And since they pay me, they expect a certain consistent output that makes them money. When I start not … Continue reading Today’s Forecast: Bitter Winds
If it’s not Scottish It’s Crap BFG’s
Ever seen Braveheart? You know how in that movie, William Wallace is this battle savvy warrior, and he confronts the English who keep tamping down their Will(iam) by just giving the Scottish lords pieces of land? You know how WW is constantly fighting against the lords and the king of England because he just wants … Continue reading If it’s not Scottish It’s Crap BFG’s
Reverse Engineering Bitterology Degree
In high school, I had a friend that enjoyed playing basketball as much as I did. Unfortunately, we figured out pretty early that we would not be getting drafted to the NBA (because of the whole not making our high school team, not being 6'8 or being particularly good at it), so we decided that … Continue reading Reverse Engineering Bitterology Degree
Supercomputer Bitterness
The year was 1998. It was in my final year of college. I was taking a class in Statistics with the worst teacher ever. He was a pompous, Diet Coke drinker with short man's disease. When the class started there were 60 students and by the end, it was me and 7 other students. I … Continue reading Supercomputer Bitterness
Godfather Bitterness
I had big plans for this last weekend. I was going to see Dr. Strange's Multiplex Theater of Madness, and I was going to get some supplies for my upcoming trip to Scotland. In addition, I had a LOT of couch sitting and video gaming planned. Despite my family not knowing any of that, they … Continue reading Godfather Bitterness
Banned For Life BFG’s
You probably don't know this about me, but I'm on a wanted poster in my old college town. I broke multiple laws while I was there, and now I'm their public enemy number one. I broke some laws while I was there, but I was never caught for them. The first one was the dangerous … Continue reading Banned For Life BFG’s
What a bunch of Craplet
In my church, I'm one of the "adults" in charge of planning activities for the boys aged 7-11, which I love. When I get home from work, I don't want to rest, I want to go straight to an activity where I hang out with some amazingly respectful kids for an hour. If you've ever … Continue reading What a bunch of Craplet
