This Move came across my desk a couple months ago. It tickled my crown chakra and I immediately stashed it away in the “future carousel post” folder. Day after day, week after week, still no honey post. I was delaying its exposure and inclusion in the CBTM universe. What can I say? I was attached. Posting this Move felt like I was letting go of something, its innocence, if you will. Letting it run free in the CBTM world of “chop” and “this shit mid” comments… no. Not yet. Not with this Move.
Then, after my bi-monthly, half-assed, 30-minute Evernote tidy-up session, I once again came face to face with this Move and decided it was time. After it was posted, I had this feeling that I didn’t do enough. This Move needed a deeper breakdown. So here we go.
Dan P was straight in his BAG with this one. This Move hits on so many different levels.
Level 1 - Supporting Your Local Economy: With the Potential of Becoming Boys With Your Local Honey Guy.
I love the idea of supporting your local economy. Just a tip of the cap to the people who keep the community flowing. Not sure if Dan P snags his honey from the farmers market or not, but I’ve had this dream/goal of being absolute BOYS with the honey guy. I mean, c’mon. How chill would that be? “Hey Bob!” “How the hell are ya Skip?” “The usual?” “You bet!” Holy chills…
(Off topic, but I really like the idea of emphasizing the fact that you’re supporting the local economy. Especially after doing something that’s physically or financially irresponsible. Get hammered at a bar: “Don’t mind me boys, just supporting the local economy.” Buying a shit ton of snacks at the gas station: “Gotta support the local economy.” Parking ticket: “Where would the local economy be without a guy like me?”
Level 2 - Respecting the Honey.
When I snag some baller-ass honey, I usually use it for at least 3 consecutive days. Tea, peanut butter and honey sandwich, just a quick teaspoon rip, I’m in.
Then my urge to add honey to every meal or snack in front of me fades. Next thing you know, that bottle’s tucked in the corner of my cabinet. Side by side with that massive tin of Old Bay I bought three years ago.
“Fun week huh? Better get comfortable here Honey. He ain’t coming back for a while now ya here… Better hope for a sore throat! Heuaahhahaheha,” laughs a jaded Old Bay tin. His laugh is boisterous, but layered underneath is a great deal of emotional pain.
With a Move like this, feel like you’re obligated to polish off that bottle of honey. How could you not? For a moment in time your whole life revolves around this high-quality honey. Be a slap in the face to disregard the quarter that’s left and move on to a new bottle. Could never! And I have a feeling Dan P could never as well.
Level 3 - Treat Yourself.
Something to look forward to. Have a tough Tuesday? “Hey man. Just grind till Friday. Honey day.” Little shit like that can help you grind a little harder. A little extra oomph to get you out of a rut.
Level 4 - Cute as Shit.
Just feel like this Move’s cute as shit. Here’s a guy who knows what he likes and he fully commits. No “look over the shoulder and see how the audience reacts” bullshit… Nah… Dan P’s being true to himself and I fully respect that.
Can’t wait to try this Move.
