Eggcellent Bitter Friday Giftures
I've been on a bitter diet lately, because my doctor told me I had to. I don't know why doctors are always telling you such bitter news.

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.

The Best Handheld Device
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

Pizza Better for you than cereal
The radio. Often you are forced to listen to it in your car because you can't really do anything else. You're not allowed to text, or play video games, and reading books seems to be out of the question. It's kind of uncool that we aren't even allowed to sleep while we are driving. It … Continue reading Pizza Better for you than cereal

My Bitter New Career
When I was in 7th grade, we did a career day where we had to decide what we wanted to be when we grew up. I decided that I wanted to be an advertising copywriter.

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.

It could be a movie I slept through, … Continue reading Kid’s Birthday Party: A bitter review
The bitterest place on earth – Animal Kingdom Edition – Part 2
I am okay with paying money for things that are such a great experience that I couldn't recreate them in my backyard or somewhere near home or do for free somewhere. For instance, I'm pretty sure I couldn't build a rollercoaster in my backyard, or visit one for free somewhere. So, I will pay for tickets to go to an … Continue reading The bitterest place on earth – Animal Kingdom Edition – Part 2

This lemon was just minding his business being all comfortable on the tree, trying to get ripe and all of a sudden someone picks on him(uh I mean picks him).

Besides, everyone just wants … Continue reading Bitter Picture/Cartoon of the Week
Black Friday bitterness
As I spoke previously about my bitterness about holidays and how we don't have enough, I have come to the realization that the reason why we don't have more holidays is because we don't appreciate the ones that we have. Let's face it, how much do we really care about them? I mean … Continue reading Black Friday bitterness

Halloween, the bitterest of holidays. Halloween is according to many resources the one that we all spend the most money on.

Foods that make you work bitterness – updated
I posted this a week ago about how food that makes me work makes me bitter. On Friday, I almost always get pizza as a reward to myself for being bitter consistenly.

Well, unfortunately, the meal consisted of … Continue reading Foods that make you work bitterness – updated
