I used to enjoy my birthday. When I first started working at a radio communications company in Seattle, I would harass people at work by telling them starting in January, my birthday was only 4 months away. The older I got, the more I realized that my birthday was basically about avoiding calls from my … Continue reading Non Sensical Things BFG’s

Roller Coaster Ride BFG’s
Have you ever felt like you were supposed to have grown up in a different family, a different era, or city, and you were just soooo close to being in that one era, but just like in some romantic comedy, you keep just missing that opportunity that would have made you rich, or that one … Continue reading Roller Coaster Ride BFG’s
Game Hooks BFG’s
Last night was probably the best Halloween ever. After work, I went home expecting to have to hand out free candy to a bunch of brats that didn't deserve it. I heard the first doorbell ring of the night, and my wife was on the phone. She quickly told me that she didn't buy any … Continue reading Game Hooks BFG’s
How do you sleep at night BFGs
I guess my parents didn't like me that much, because when I was only 8 years old, they sent me off to this pre-military school called the Scouting program. Every single week we had to attend these meeting where they would stick us in these tan prison uniforms and make us learn all these useful … Continue reading How do you sleep at night BFGs
Late to the Party Bitter Friday Giftures
One time when I was in college, I was so distraught by a girl breaking up with me, that I slept in until 4 pm. It was the oddest sensation I'd ever felt. When I woke up, I went to the campus bookstore, and it was already closed for the day. People had already woken … Continue reading Late to the Party Bitter Friday Giftures
Empath Bitter Friday Giftures
Before I know much about what empath's were, I thought they were just people that read tarot cards and told you what your pet was saying. The more I see about them though, the more I think I'm one of them. I don't know if I meet every single one of the 15 requirements that … Continue reading Empath Bitter Friday Giftures
Decorating with Bitter Friday Giftures
My wife and I were in charge of the decorating for our church Christmas party this last week, which means my wife was in charge and I helped. Let me tell you how hard it is to watch her wrap presents for a centerpiece, string up strands and more strands of stockings, wrap certain … Continue reading Decorating with Bitter Friday Giftures
Looking like a Turkey Bitter Friday Giftures
Today is one of the days that you either dread or love. It seems like there is no in-between. If you happen to work at Walmart, Target, Amazon, or another megastore, I assume you've been dreading this day, neh, season for some time now. You finished your turkey and then said, "Off to work … Continue reading Looking like a Turkey Bitter Friday Giftures
I’m here to ruin your day
You know how optimists (or optometrists I can never tell the difference) always try to find the one little positive thing in even the darkest moments of your life? Well, I'm here to flip the script on that, and find the bitterest things in even your shiniest moments. I'm here to put some gloom … Continue reading I’m here to ruin your day
Noize Bitterness
Alanis Morrisette (are you still alive?) take note. 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife is not ironic. The other night I called T-mobile on my cell phone to add my wife as another line on my cell phone plan. It took 20 minutes, 3 transfers, 2 calls and my wife intervening to … Continue reading Noize Bitterness
