This one goes out to my Homie, one of my friends, my brothers, who even though he hadnt been there from day one like my cousins, i love him all the same.
Right now Rza is on a plane that is boarding to leave for beautiful San Diego California. As it did with Edu-Man, having a close friend leave to go so far away is a little painful, and a reminder that we are all growing up, getting on. And one day i too will leave the nest to seek my place in the world.
I had some of the best times with Rick, we spent the majority of our teenage years together, doing what urban hip-hop kids do, go clubbing, smoking, talking about girls, being crazy. We had deep convos about our futures and our plans, and i must say, Rick never detoured once. That is why he is on that plane right now. And i totally respect him for that.
I will never forget the convos we had, and all the times we went to visit our GFs together. All the driving back at 4 AM from who knows where. The FIND conferences where we dropped knowledge on people, then chilled and felt connected with our Pinoyness that we so love. Rick, we are going home together... I promise you the next time i go you will be there.
I cant really say effectively what i want to say for Rick and about Rick... I know that i will miss his physical self here, but i know we will be homies till we are old. I will have to run out to the West Coast finally, and see what all the hype is about.
RzaRick- take care of yourself. Stay up with your dreams, cause i know will will surpass them all.
