This quote is absolutely amazing.
"Around 2000, for about a year or so, I became a disciple of this spiritual teacher in China. This is when I pretty much learned how to mediate, by following the teachings of this guy and the Falun Gong tradition. These are exercises you’re supposed to do in order to achieve enlightenment. It was a huge movement over in China with millions of followers where the guy basically had to go underground because of the government feeling threatened by him.
I’ve since disassociated myself from the group but there is a tradition within the Falun Gong where you wear all one color. Different monks wear different colors, like all-red, all-yellow or all-orange. I remember reading that in a book somewhere and because I was so into at the time, I figured I’d rock an all-yellow sweat suit, too. I didn’t even care. That was for only about a year, though.
I still remember going to Slam City Jam that year and wearing completely neon orange from head-to-toe. People thought I was out of my mind. They were looking at me like I was an alien or something. I remember the only person who thought it was cool was Mark Gonzales. (laughs)"
