Old-school hip hop was decent. Up to about the mid-90's. Then you had "gangsta rap" acts like Notorious Big, Tupac Shakur, and P-Diddy, among others. Not my cup of tea. :P

And I got a good amount of money in return for it.

Yeah, I think it was around '93 or so when "gangsta" rap started to become popular...although I don't know if I'd consider Naughty By Nature a group in that category. Definitely by the mid-90's, it was prominent...with performers like Tupac Shakur, Coolio, Notorious B.I.G., P-Diddy, and the group Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony.

Their music is raunchy.
Not my kind of music.

N.W.A (short for Niggaz Wit Attitudes or Niggaz With Attitude was an American hip hop group from Compton, California, widely considered one of the seminal acts of the gangsta rap sub-genre.

Active from 1986 to 1991, the group endured controversy due to the explicit nature of their lyrics, and were subsequently banned from many mainstream U.S. radio stations, and even prevented from touring at times. In spite of this, the group has sold over 9 million units in the U.S. alone.

The original lineup consisted of Arabian Prince, DJ Yella, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, and MC Ren; Arabian Prince embarked on a solo career in 1989 and Ice Cube left in 1990 over royalty disputes. Although largely unknown at the group's inception, several members would later become platinum-selling solo artists in the 1990s.

Their debut album Straight Outta Compton marked the beginning of the new gangsta rap era as the production and social commentary in their lyrics were revolutionary within the genre.

Rolling Stone ranked N.W.A 83rd on their list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time".

Definitely not the kind of stuff I could handle listening to. :P

Thanks, I know it not in that day we had our Christmas Lunch, for it was on the Friday.

Jose Feliciano

Did you know? Jose Feliciano is most famous in this country for his Christmas song Feliz Navidad. He was among the first singers to achieve worldwide success in both English and Spanish (and Italian!) He was blind from birth. He was born with congenital glaucoma, a condition where the fluid inside the eye does not drain properly, causing the pressure to rise and the optic nerve to be damaged. The high pressure can actually cause the newborn eye to enlarge abnormally. Glaucoma at birth is rare, occuring approximately 1:10,000 live births. Treatment is surgical, and the prognosis, even with modern treatment, is guarded.

At that time, I was starting to look for a job of some sort, even though I was still going to school (but it was summer break). In addition, I was still doing volunteer work at Cal State Northridge on a project that would be finished at the end of the summer.

I remember that, I was looking for a branch of that chain in London, and the one I had located had already closed down.

I was still dating at that time.

I don't think there ever was one in California, since I'd never heard of any out my way. Must be another one of those chains that existed only in certain locations.

I like Subway sandwiches; I have been eating them regularly for 22 years. (I remember it was in 1989 when I first tried one...namely the sliced turkey sub.)

Yeah, the same can actually be said about me. I go there whenever I can't think of anything better to eat for take-out.

I tend to eat at home more now.

Yeah, me too. In fact, a couple additional eateries for take-out have opened up closer to my home and we have been eating from both places. (Actually, there have been other eateries opening up as well, but there are two in particular that we go to regularly.) Of course, eating at home more frequently means more trips to the grocery stores...and we went to two of those places yesterday. And it was a rather strenuous trip, mostly due to holiday weekend traffic here.

You never know how old the frozen food is, not knowing how long is has been frozen for.
