Author Profile: Tobias Hustleman
Biography »
No, I'm not a doughboy, drug slinger, or street pharmacist. That doesn't mean I don't hustle. We all have our hustle. My hustle is life. I want to get as much out of it as I can by experiencing as much as I can. I mean all things except drug dependency, unemployment, homelessness...well you get the picture. Expect me to write about anything. Don't expect to know from what I angle I coming except that it can be any angle. Life can be lived by rap quotables so I'll leave you with this. Go further. Go farther. Go harder. If not, then why bother.Publications »

So my man Swagg used to extole the virtues of the Blackberry he got from his job. Being competitive, I set a small goal of getting to a position so that I could get some sort of smart phone. Much to my chagrin, my company made the switch from Blackberries to Palm Treos and Swagger [...]

OJ DID IT!
And got convicted.
The train wreck that is Orenthol James Simpson finally found out that karma is a biatch. To get off on a double murder rap (you did it too nigga…don’t front!), and then get convicted of armed robbery is absolutely mind boggling. I’ve seen local athletes do stupid things and it cost [...]

Marriage is a busted institution and the only good thing about them are wedding receptions. That is unless you have friends like mine who like to make theirs dry, and that, my friends, is another story for another day.
Jokes aside, I am not a fan of marriage. It could be that I’ve never seen [...]

The prodigal son returns. Senor Hustle has been officially listed as missing in action. In my day job, this is a very busy season and while I don’t normally subscribe to allowing anxiety to get in the way of my daily, it has been especially rough lately. Sadly, it’s been to the point of insomnia [...]

Rice made this assertion in an article on CNN.com and credited her family and education as integral pieces for building her career in politics. While the Republican party has [...]

That is the worst question I’ve ever heard in my life. You should have been given an idea of that in the “Monogamy vs. Bachelorhood” article. At 30, it seems I’ve only heard women say that their relationships ended badly because of the guy’s inability to commit or do what’s right to keep the relationship [...]

X gave it to me…nullus.
Artsy folks are a little different I suppose. My degree is in English though you probably couldn’t tell by my writing. I am a part of that slightly different crowd of artists. Life is a little more about feeling things out and drawing conclusions. I take pride in being a non-conformist [...]

I believe physical monogamy is unnatural but emotional monogamy is essential. For men, these are separate parallel forces which eventually intersect. For women, I believe they run almost unilaterally.
I think innately women seek out security while men are raised to believe they can handle anything.
I feel a man is more likely to commit when a [...]

Yes, I am a sports junkie. In a normal year,I would be in a drought for my fix. From August to June, I overdose on NFL, college football, NBA, and college basketball and I can’t get enough. My DirecTV lineup now includes ESPN Gameplan and Fullcourt, but this year I may re-up the Sunday Ticket [...]

My alter ego works a 9-5 job, is pretty proud of what he has accomplished, but knows he has a lot to accomplish still. It is not the sense [...]
