What I Learned From Fred Durst
I couldn’t bring myself to put a picture of Fred Durst in this post so we’ll just have one of me reading a good book. And believe me, I tried finding funny pictures of Fred Durst to put up there — little memes and cartoons. But, I…I just couldn’t do it. But that’s beside the …
