let me begin this entry by letting you all know that i’m typing this on a computer where the shift keys do not work. the reason for that is because i am still at my grandma’s house in va. the power supply in her computer died in the summertime, and me being the black mcguyver, i told her that i could fix everything. i put int he new power supply, but somewhere along the way, the sound stopped working and the shift keys only work when they feel like it. they don’t feel like working very often. i hate to admit that the damn thing beat me, but as you see, i have no shift or control keys as i type here in silence. i will be a man and accept defeat. mr. emachine, we will do battle once again one day, and i will be victorious1
damn. that was supposed to be an exclamation mark at the end of that sentence.
anyway, i am writing to inform you all that my birthday is approaching. yes, that soon-to-be national holiday, december 1st. i’m that much closer to becoming an old, broken-down black man. that much closer to getting a social security check if social security is still around. that much closer to worrying about stuff like rheumatism. that much closer to sitting on the porch drinking and hollering at women passing by.
actually, i’ve been doing that since i was 19 years old, so there’s no real transition there. the other approaching hallmarks of old age have me concerned, though. i need you, my loyal and faithful readers, to help make things better. there are two ways to do this.
way number one is to buy me a present. yeah, i said it. for real, i even made an amazon.com wishlist for folks to choose from. hell, i don’t even mind if you go the el-cheapo route and call whatever you buy me my birthday/christmas gift. it’s still something i did not have yesterday, so i’ll smile regardless.
don’t think that this is all for me. i’m actually doing it for you. i even wrote the reason why the items i selected would make the blog a better place. there you have it. proof that i thought about you first. if i could have put ‘you’ in capital letters in that lastr sentence, i would have. i care that much. enough of the sentimental stuff. go on and check out the list. click the option that lets you see eveything in order of priority, so you can see what would make me smile the most. let me copy and paste the link;
http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2M6V8TIQDGFG1
option 2 is to party with me on saturday, the day after my actual birthday. my friend tajh and i decided against throwing a party like last year, but we are organizing a massive takeover of somebody’s lounge or nightclub that saturday. the location will be decided on and posted here no later than wednesday. that will give you all more than enough time to get ready to see the hustleman in action live and in person. i tried to told y’all; it’s become more than a blog. this is a movement, dammit.
vive le hustleman
so yeah, if you can, do one or the other. or both. hope to see you saturday…or some presents. hell. i can’t even lie about that one.

You choose some pretty good gifts! How about i buy myself the Post Secret book and just let you look at it?
Yo hustleman, Happy b-day! I think I am older than you, so as a gift, I will give you some advise: Keep wrtiting-you are good at it- keep loving life, and never let a day go by without thinking about why you are here!
Peace!
You’ve actually inspired me to make my own list…I got a few people who need to buy me things, at least I think they should. I hope you have a successful birthday though and get what you want plus more. peace
HUSTLEMAN, YOU’RE A SAGGITARIUS???!!! I’M A SAGGITARIIUS!!!!!!!!!!!! DECEMEBER 14…I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BECAUSE OF YOUR GOOD ENERGY, LOVE FOR THE LADIES AND LIFE. THE WHOLE BIRTHDAY/CHRISTMAS THINKG IRKS THE S&!@ OUT OF ME, I DO NOT SHARE THE SAME BIRTHDAY AS JESUS!!! ANYWAY, YES, I DECIDED TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS TO MAKE UP FOR THE ERRORS IN YOUR BLOG..HAHAHA :p HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND NO, I WON’T BE GETTING YOU ANYTHING UNLESS I GET SOMETHING IN RETURN…HELL, GUYS PULL THIS KINDA CRAP ALL THE TIME. DROP YO DRAWLS, MAN! LOL! KIDDING.
SAGGITARIANS RULE!
LOL @ the “shift-less” post and the “exclamation point”. Have a great birthday and let us know if the wishlist hustle works, ’cause I’ll make one in a heartbeat.
you got a good thing going with your blog, keep it up.
I actually took the time out to read your wish list and I saw you liked Sleepy Hollow…I can hook u up with that one, if u still own a VCR u can have my VHS (smile)
You know the funny thing is I don’t know you ‘personally’ and I’m actually considering getting you something off this list just to trip you out. lol Besides I love giving anyway.
this is a good idea.
i got you on the donny hathaway CD.
I’m seriously considering getting you a gift. Chalk it up to the holiday season. Shipping address?
aww its your BDAY?? I’m gonna get you exactly what you bought me for my birthday :) lol … you want magazines?? you’re a dork…but a good looking dork with a good sense of humor…so i guess just embrace your dorkiness LMAO
how can I buy you a gift if you don’t have a shipping address?
Well hustleman, they say “ask and you shall receive.” Good luck with that LOL
…seriously, have a happy birthday. I’m still celebrating my birthday week. (hey, when your born near a national holiday you get a few more days to party to allow for traveling.) Sagittarius folks like ourselves really don’t need a reason to extend a party but it helps to have one just in case;)
best wishes to you!
Happy Early Birthday.
@ Candy, that’s better than nothing :)
@ Field-Negro, thank you very much. I will try to do just that!
@ Brwn eyes, thank you
@ anonymous, my mother’s birthday is December 14th
@ sister, I’ll let you know if it works ;)
@ mxwlpxwl, thank you for the compliment
@ bee, I don’t have a VCR anymore :(
@ Divyne, that’s really sweet of you.
@ NubianTemptress, thank you
@ Mellow and anonymous, if you select the “add to cart” button on an item on my list, it will take care of the shipping address. I put it in there, so if it’s ordered from my list, it will get to me.
@ Peach, you’re a dork too, so I’m among good company :)
@ B’Write, yahoo has been acting up for me, but I will reply to your email ASAP. Thanks in advance
Thank you @ Honest. E-mail me at HustlemanL77@yahoo.com or call me if you still have the number. I need to talk to you about something real quick.
Oh yeah, you all can get me used shit on there too…as long as it’s in good shape and it’s not clothes. I ain’t trying to wear some shit that’s been on someone else’s body…lol
As long as it works and there’s no bodily fluids on that b*tch, I’ll deal with it since it’s free :)
Is that excerise ball for some freaky sex move? Nubian, i already have that donny hathaway CD so i’ll sell it to you for $5 and we both can put our names on it for leon.
Shut up! Your mom’s birthday is the 14th???!!! She must be a GOD!!! LOL! Get the donny hathaway live cd…”flying easy” is such a great song.
I’ll check that out @ Anonymous :)
@ Diva, I’m trying to srengthen my core…lol
If anyone else is having problems with the shipping address thing, e-mail me at HustlemanL77@yahoo.com and I will give it to you. I don’t want to put it up here, because O.J. Simpson might see it and come after me for what I wrote about him last week.
I say…..we all chip in and get hime the WWE belt….
and i’ve seen orgasmo…..lol
i didnt even read this yet but why did you put that pic of yourself in the che picture?
i damn near spit out my juice when i saw that. you are a funny dude.
ummm… if I buy you a gift.. can I expect the same at my b-dy party?
*hint hint*
