For those of you unfamiliar, Paul Richichi is The Proverbial Pimp. Mr. Richichi has been writing a "Stream of Consciousness" column in the Exploitation Journal since our inception in 1987. A modern day equivalent to Christ (or Buddha, Mohammed, Noah, take your choice) Paul Richichi is both your best friend and worst enemy. When people meet him they like him yet still they remain frightened of him. This is for one reason only, he is 100% pure truth, and there is nothing scarier than that! Every few months I will post new words and thoughts by this extraordinary gentleman on this site. They will not be re-prints from the Journal, they are specifically written for this site. He will also continue to write for the Journal. If you are not familiar, then by all means get so...

Immortality is being of time, not in time.

The only God you are ever gonna see is in everything you're ever gonna see.

Hate me if you must, just don't annoy me.

Immunity lies within being total with the all and the everything, not separation.

I don't believe in growin up, just growin.
