I try to manifest myself separately through all the different expressions that surround my life. It was very important to me for some reason to not pollute Kogi with A-Frame with Sunny Spot with Chego with Alibi Room with Spaghetti Junction with me with you. They were all mix tapes in my mind with different artists. But looking at this film makes me realize it’s all one big family in one big city and I’m the one that’s schizophrenic.
There are hundreds of people within my organizations that execute my ramblings daily with straight up loyalty and I thank them for that. They take the seed and water the plant.
It’s been a long journey to see my reflection clearly in the mirror.
Peace.

i hear what you saying roychoi; but you are only part way on the path.
you speak of respect for the carcasses of dead things you eat.
that is self serving because in what definition of “respect” are we truly justified to kill living things? i’m not a veg-i-tear-ian because i still eat fish and foul; but i could also never say i respect the salmon i bleed and gut on the river. that is not respect. that is killing. my self awareness bs detector would kick into overdrive.
i like what you stand for esp. escaping the valley of parental expectations. though your path is still muddy by mixing the tapes of righteous conduct to living things with feeling good about being a fleshdeath dealer.
fabulous video. food made with love is the best, beyond righteousness. beyond extreme beliefs. when you consume food made with a certain amount of respect, the body can feel that. go eat a burger at bk’s then have a burger your friend made, maybe even with the same meat source. it’s different and it feels better even if the source of the ingredients are questionable. but of course, the best is humanely raised and humanely consumed. thank you for reaching beyond and standing outside of your comfort zone. it matters. to all of us.
at BOB. in my opinion, one can be respectful when killing an animal in order to eat. large scale factorization of the food industry however is the epitome of disrespect to animals and mother nature. However, when you kill and efficiently eat/use all parts of an animal, i personally think you can still be respectful.
