I do miss those days. We need a time machine and we need one now. Some of these guys need one more badly than I do though. I think my thought process was pretty good and I still have a chance to do this. Kristen: If you are reading this my wife says it's okay, as long as there's no physical contact.

9) Which NBA player to you hate the most? Dirk (I call him Jerk) / Paul Pierce (outta respect)

How can someone hate Dirk??? He is one of the nicest superstars around.

[LBF]

Yes man! I keep telling my wife, if all these artists didn't decide to start families, we wouldn't have to listen to so much garbage on the radio these days. Lauryn Hill -- one of my all-time favorites. I'm actually listening to that album at this very moment.

Exactly, it happens all the time. Especially, rock stars.

They go from yelling into the microphone to whispering.

The most notable to me are dave grohl nirvana/90's foo fighters. He fucin rocked out and now he's singing about wheels and rope and soft shit and there's no whaling guitar.

Same with Gavin Rossdale. He went from yelling along with a whaling guitar about having a machine head to now whispering about doctors.

You have a family and that's great. But, you also have another family with your band mates. They aren't the same thing. So, stop!...treating it like it is.

[LBF]

How can someone hate Dirk??? He is one of the nicest superstars around.

Easily, you can just not like some one for the sole reason, they give off bad vibes to you. That's why i don't like Durant.
