And if you couldn’t find it you had to deal with the crusty attitude of that old a** librarian lady, who was like 68 years old and had that chain holdin' her glasses down like dem joints was going to fly off, yeah, that lady who felt like she was doing you a favor by being there.
WHY was I just talking about this with someone the other day!

There was no email! We had to actually write somebody a letter ... with a pen! and a stamp! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox and it would take like a week to get there!
I still write letters from time to time.

There were no MP3's or Napsters! You wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the damn record store! Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ'd usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up!
Me and my brother used to live in Vogel's record store, the one that was in Bizmarkie's video, LOL

Quote:
Sure, we had cable television, but back then that was only like 15 channels and there was no onscreen menu and no remote control! You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on![
Sometimes I still get the urge to buy the TV Guide.

You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off you’re a** and walk over to the TV to change the channel. And don’t let your a** have insomnia, cause at 1 a.m. guess what --> TV went OFF! You got the Star Spangled Banner then America took its a** to bed!
YES! And I remember 'Love, American Style' used to come on like 5:30 or 6:00 in the morning and wake my azz up.

Quote:
And there was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday morning. Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little rat-bastids!
Cartoons were so important back then, because you only had a certain time that they were on. Man, the good old days, LOL
