The Meaning Of Honey Badger
Recently, the Honey Badgers went to miscon in missoula. It is a spectacular con with great guests, panels, and games. We run room parties there after dark. This was our third year and by far our best. The thing about this year that warmed my heart, blew my mind, and got me thinking about what we mean as a group was the sheer number of people who remembered us from the last two years and have lived their lives as honey badgers even if they haven't been made aware of our various Internet presences. I talked with a couple who met at our room party and have been together a year now. I talked with an individual from out of state who looks forward to con just to come to our party and chat with us about life. And outside the parties, I chatted with many who just appreciate our core message and incorporate it in their lives the best they can. So what is our message? Over the years, (has it been that long?) we have boiled it down to this. Regardless of your race, creed, color, religion, sexual orientation, or political affiliations, live your life. Just don't be a dick about it. Do what is right for you, but don't do it from a place where you are trying to intentionally hurt others. Here's the thing about that message. It is going to mean different things to different people and that's ok. We all have our own lives. We all deal with our own cobras in our own way and literally no one else will go through the same trials you do. Just live your life. Be happy. If you're not happy, find a way to overcome. Life is amazing and you are amazing for being alive so devour your cobras. Keep being you. Keep being amazing. --Grand Badger Lando
