When it happens to me

I don't know how many times I have been walking in a mall or anywhere in fact, that have not had some kind of remark made about my size. Some times it's a joke that I don't take to heart, but then there are times that it about floors me. Anyone that knows me, knows I have been big all my life.           (

until now ). I may look like I have a heart of stone to match my bald head, beard, tattoos, and my Harley shirts, but I am here to tell you I do have feelings. Just like all the other big, large, huge, fat, and whatever else we are called. The size of me has helped me become who I am today, along with everything that has been said to me or about me. In fact, I would have to say that is why I am a anti-bully, caring, and tempered man. I have fought a long hard fight to get to where I am today with my size, and I am glad to say that for once, I am winning. But for those of you who are having trouble with it, never give up the fight! No matter what others say about you. And for all the normal or "skinny" folks out there that like torun at the mouth, keep in mind, we out weigh you! Nothing breaks my heart more than reading a post or blog from a young child or teen about hating themselves due to their size. I know the pain they feel, how they wish they would just drop over dead. I know how they cry when they leave the mall and it's from all the names and teasing they had to endure. How they go home after school and try to starve themselves just so they might fit in. The heartache of no boy or girl wanting to date or see you, cause they only see your size. Could you all do your friend here, Ol' Tank a favor the next time your out and see this happening to someone, anyone, any age... Walk up to them and just tell them Ol' Tank says its all ok, reach out and either shake a hand or give a hug. And defend them, make those who are doing the picking feel the same way that big person feels. But when you finish, just tell them your sorry for doing that, and hope they learn. Take it from the fat guy, you will make their day in more ways than one.                                          Big Man Out.             Tank

Been said before

How many times have you been out some where, and listened to how other people talk to one another? It can be down right scary at times! I have over heard teens telling off an older person, an elder yelling at kids, or even someone in front of me at the store lipping off to the cashier. I have stepped in a few times, and have been told to mind my own business. The response you'll get then from me is , you made it my business when I heard you. I know we all have bad days, and things happen that we would rather not, but why take it out on a stranger? Why put someone else through hell for no reason besides you can't control your own issues. The way I see it , if that cashier would reach over that belt and pop you in the nose, you had it coming. And if there is a group of kids, just being kids, and not doing damage or harm, let them play. So they are being loud, so was you when you were that age. But the one I won't go for is youngins being rotten mean to the elders or someone who won't speak up. That's when you just might have me being the one who is popping you in the nose. So all in all folks, chill out, just due to your bad day, dont ruin someone's for no reason.    And that's the way I see it

The Way I See It

A few people out there in facebook land have asked me if I would start writing a bit more on the way I see things, mainly my wife. I see them the same way you do, but i now have the guts to post about it, and try to make a few out there think.

I don't just talk about gun rights, and politics, that would get boring. I try to talk right at a group, like just us guys, or kids, or people who think they know whats best for me. I will do my best at this, and try not to offend...

BUT

Keep in mind

IT'S THE WAY I SEE IT
