So as part of this resolution contest/competition that I’m doing, 10 in ’10 (which you can learn more about here) I have to launch or redesign my personal website. And this is it. Also…I have limited experience blogging before, so I’ll be learning as I move forward. Any hate will be taken in, considered and moved to the circular file.
BadgeringDC–What to expect?
I plan on discussing the things I am passionate about in my life–politics, food, my friends, and more. I’ll try to make it more accessible to my friends and strangers and if it isn’t, just complain.
What is a Badger? And what is up with the name?
A. A Badger is a mammal that lives underground, is pretty cute, will rip your face off given the chance, and is mostly solitary.
Yes...this badger will rip your face off given the chance
B. A lead miner who lived in Wisconsin back in the day. Like their mammalian counterparts, they lived in dirt mounds and could rip your face off if they wanted to.
Badgers are also lead miners but may or may not rip your face off
C. The mascot for the University of Wisconsin-Madison and what many Madison Alumni and Wisconsin residents call themselves. They are usually social and live aboveground, are often very attractive, and if you talk trash about their state, school, or sports teams, will verbally rip your face off.
I am a Badger at heart despite living in Washington, D.C. If I had my druthers, I could buy fried cheese and New Glarus here, and there would be snow….LOTS of snow.
Best Mascot Ever in Sports or Best Mascot Ever in All Fields?
Did you know that “Brock” is Middle English for “Badger?” The UW was my destiny!
