fuck yea!! this kid's been a killer friend for over 5 years now. partner in crime in party throwing, tea slingin, and the drinking of grandma's booze. there is never a dull moment with riko in the crew. fellow world traveler i wish you the best in all you do. hope to catch up with you before i blast off to egypt!!

Rick is gooood people. I love this bro!! He is a true brother essential and has a heart of warmth, compassion, and tons o sass. Never a dull moment.I love you baba.Keep the energy flowing, It's golden and will never be forgotten. Good things ahead!!! Blessed be!!!!!NONSTOP}}}}

Wow. I used to be scared to go to the city because when i did go, i would always see crazy people running around, yelling random things, doing cart wheels on the side walk (although i have never seen anyone beat us a stop sign...), etc. now i know someone like that hahah =P. Rick is such an inspiration with all his ideas and views on our world and life. always so entertaining. When no one has anything to say, he'll bring up his Capoera classes or tea or psytrace and do something completely crazy. you are constant surprise!!!! especially with the new hair color

ahhhh Rick! What's not to love? You have grabbed onto this thing called life and taken it for a ride. Raw and beautiful energy spills out of you and lights up those around you. Your passion is unparalled. thanks for being such an awesome person and friend. and thanks for the capoeira songs.

Rick is one of the most unique, interesting and profound beings i ever met.
He is young but yet so old, he shares the experience of the living with the profound of the future..
it is hard to describe what rick is in a few words, it is only feelings and lights of plasma that i can just imagine his real self!
i am glad we share the same path..
