Burger King is my spirit animal

It all started with banter, burgers and booze.

But I suppose I should start at the beginning.

Growing up, I was pretty sure I was part wolf. I mean, everything about them was so cool, from the howl to the pack mentality and even how they waited until dark to hunt their prey.

Damn, wolves are cool.

But no. I was wrong about my spirit animal. I’m kind of a loner.

Not wolves.

I hit my teen years and realized I was more owl than the wolf. I mean, owls are wicked cool too. Ever seen them claws? And they’re smart as hell and love books.

I love books.

I must be part owl…right?

Well.

No.

Not quite.

The reason is, I joined the Army later on, and owls just weren’t gonna cut it. I mean, I’m learning how to be a soldier, carry an M-16, and all that Army stuff so what I really am is a lion.

Yeah.

A lion. Plus, I am a Leo, so it makes sense.

Grrrrrrr…..(that sounds more like a tiger than a lion, I know)

But I wasn’t part lion either.
