TANK’S RANT I hope everyone had a wonderful, safe and merry Christmas and an even safer New Years. Time to start the “new year, new me” shit. I wish you the best of luck in whatever you choose. As of January 1st, I haven’t had a smoke in 3 years now, so anything is possible if you really want it bad enough. Along the line of doing something to improve yourself, here’s a thought.

I guess I’m get tired of day after day, seeing the go fund me pages to cover something basic, that you as an adult should have covered. If you’re young and looking for a simple fix, let me recommend the military! Room, board, dental, medical and college! Hello! What more could you ask for! Oh wait…… and there’s more! Travel (mic drop)! It took me to places you can’t even pronounce. Something else that caught my eye back in December was an ad on TV for Chevrolet. They were/are offering up the “employee discount to all”. The kids in the ad say “My mom/dad works for Chevy” and they welcome everyone into the Chevy family. Oh boy! Welcome to getting fired right before the holidays! I guess those few kids were some of 22
