So it was really humanizing.
Well, addiction strips away everything slowly.
It's this terrible...
terrible affliction that just causes you to devalue yourself and all of your belongings.
And as my life stripped away of people, places and things like places to live, finances, resources, the last things that I held on to were always my chef knives because I knew if I had my chef knives, I could find a job anywhere in the world literally because by that time I had already traveled around the world.
And so I held on to those to the very, very, very end.
And around 2011, those were some of the last things I was willing to pawn off or sell on the street.
These knives were special because I had got them on a trip to Japan in 2007, where I prepared a seven-course tasting menu of Western Apache cooking and cuisine at the Imperial Hotel of Osaka.
So I cherished these knives because they were like samurai swords.
They were made by a knife maker whose ancestors made samurai swords and were samurai.
And I brought them back to the States with me.
And I still have one of them with me, but I sold those other ones.
And it was terrible because, you know, it's just the name of the game.
Things that you find very valuable, you were willing to sell off just to get high again.
And that's the way that that was for me.
Thank you for having me.
Including World War II or even 9-11.
Yeah, it did.
I had no idea that the tomato was an indigenous cultivar.
Growing up, I think it's pretty common for a lot of people to feel that way.
