You guys have no idea how bitter I am right now. For all those people that have followed me from the beginning, (absolutely none of you) I've written 1000+ posts about things that made me bitter. I've written about everything from the tiniest irritation to absolutely soul-crushing of not having a job for the … Continue reading Bitter Tuesday Giftures
I am trying to think of a theme for my Bitter Friday Giftures, but right now all I can think about is the Avenger's Endgame. I am not going to be able to see it this weekend, because of things, but I know that most people will. That is about a billion people I … Continue reading End Game Bitterness
The best part about the place where we live, is we don't have to do any yard work. It's nice not only because we are old and our backs are giving out, but because our son is lazy and would want money to do it. At our old house in Seattle, we had a pretty … Continue reading Down The Rabbit Hole Bitterness
I grew up in South Dakota, which is basically a black hole for anything cool, including me. I blame the fact that I am the world's leastest cool person on growing up there. Man, did we struggle to come up with entertaining things to do for fun. We got tired of tipping all the … Continue reading Job Store Bitterness
When I was younger and really bored I used to watch WGN in Chicago. In the mornings, they had this show that included Bozo the Clown and he would have kids on the show. They had this game that challenged kids to throw ping pongs into big buckets and the farther they went, the better … Continue reading Are you a Bozo Bitterness
When we moved into this house about a year ago, we had to furnish it. Of course, we got the most important things first, the couch, TV, and fridge, which I have spent the most amount of time using. I guess we also got a table, our old furniture, and bed, but those weren't really … Continue reading Bitter Business Bureau
Security is kind of a big deal in a lot of ways. It has been a big buzzword in our country in the last few years. While I don't comment on politics because they boring and I don't know much about them, but I think I have enough bitterness in other areas to not have … Continue reading Insecurity Bitterness
This is probably some really shocking news, but when I was growing up, pizza wasn't my favorite food. Probably because my parents didn't expose me much to pizza. Also, I was always hungry, and back then, Hot Pockets didn't exist and pizza wasn't exactly an easy thing to whip up when you are dying … Continue reading Today’s Story on Giphy
Yes, it is Sunday afternoon and you have nothing else to do. TV is getting old and you are tired of the kids. Escape to the computer room so you can watch the news. But not the same, boring, dull stuff that you keep seeing on your computer screen, but the entertaining, yet bitter news … Continue reading Bitter News from the Couch #8
As you saw from my lazy post yesterday, I fancy myself as an amateur filmmaker. I admit I'm a horrible actor, for many reasons. Let's take a moment to list those reasons. 1. I have a monotone voice. 2. I have a face for blogging. 3. I can't memorize a single line. 4. I have … Continue reading Mighty Morphin Bitter Rangers
I don't feel like writing today, because snow is outside and I just can't possibly be expected to write anything. The east coast got their turn last week, so it is the west coast's turn to be lazy this week. So here is my post. It is my Bitter News from the Couch, Volume 7. … Continue reading Lazy Day Bitterness
When I was in high school and college, surprisingly, I was a little more athletic than I am now. I know most people are, but for me, it was quite extreme. Yesterday I went to the Rec center so I could accompany my family there, and I spent an hour and a half shooting free … Continue reading Busting A Move Bitterness
When the first Batman movie came out with Micheal Keaton as Batman and Jack Nicholson as the Joker, it was a big deal. Back then it was very rare to get any comic book movie at all, and this was the first legit Batman movie. Sure there was a movie in which Batman fought a … Continue reading Bitter Not So Best Seller
There are a lot of debates out there. I don't normally get into them unless I have huge amounts of ammo for one side, or I care way too passionately about them. For instance, I will talk to you all day long about how the United States of America needs way more federal holidays. Let's … Continue reading Bitter Parking Spaces
Believe it or not, my wife is supportive of my blogging efforts, as long as it doesn't interfere with real work and family duties, which it has from time to time. In the beginning, I didn't even tell her I had a blog because I wasn't sure she would like me writing about bitter … Continue reading Store Discount
As the old man in the cave in Legend of Zelda said to Link, "It's dangerous to go alone. Take this." He was just being nice and handing Link a sword so he could survive all the weird acting animals in the world, but I think his advice is pretty strong today. It is … Continue reading Danger Friday Giftures
Several years ago, I was up late playing my favorite video game, and my wife was trying to sleep. She woke suddenly and complained about really painful heartburn. Usually, she takes a Tums and feels better afterward. But for some reason, that wasn't working, and she was complaining about intense pain that wasn't going … Continue reading Unnecessary Jobs
I like movies because they are the dressier cousin of TV. While the newest and best movies require you to be some sort of dressed and pay money and get popcorn and sit in a seat that isn't a couch, they don't require you to think too much. Some require you to think if … Continue reading Bencademy Awards
A lot of people are really good at things in their everyday lives that seem pretty inconsequential. Some people are great at doing laundry. They know the right temperature, the best fabric softener and the setting that every piece of clothing should be set at. Other people are amazing at cooking. They have a … Continue reading Tidying Up with Bitter Ben
When I grew up, we had these things called phones that were just a menace. They had long cords, big circular dials and were only used for actually calling people to talk, which quite frankly is the least good thing about phones. If you wanted to talk to someone that lived far away, … Continue reading The Best Handheld Device
