I used to think
- that best man I could get were thugs and hustlers
- there were no intelligent and socially conscious black people that were still cool
- if I took care of a man, he would take care of me too
- I would never be broke or hungry when I got to college
- you can't make Oodles of Noodles in the microwave
- I would always be in shape
- Once you get a six pack you can never lose it
