No, this blog hasn’t gone crazy and gangsta, or anything like that.
By the way, hearing me say the word “gangsta” in real life is really hilarious – just ask my husband.
Okay so back to why I’m hu$$tlin. It’s actually not me that’s hu$$tlin but someone who either lives in, or visits, my apartment complex. I woke up the other morning and took Josh to work. While I was hauling my 17 pound baby (yeah, she’s 17 pounds now) and her carseat to the car I noticed some writing on the ground in the middle of the parking lot. I reminded myself to get a better look when it was a little lighter and when I was more awake.
Upon my return home, I got out of the car to look and this is what I saw:
So Hardcore
Now, I’m not sure if you can read it very well but it does, in fact, say: “Everyday I’m Hu$$tlin”.
……………. In the parking lot of my apartment complex.
……………. In chalk.
Oh, and can we talk about that for a second? For one, if you’re going to write something in a parking lot in chalk, you should have the decency to spell it correctly. I believe that the correct spelling of the word is “hustlin’”. If you want to get more technical, it should be “hustling”. Also, “hustlin’” is spelled with an “s”, not dollar signs. ALSO.. Chalk? Really? Since when did 7 year olds hu$$tle? I posted about this on my Facebook and one of my friends responded, “Maybe Ke$ha is in town”.
That’s probably it. Maybe she decided to visit a friend who lives in my humble little apartment complex. She seems like the kind of girl who doesn’t discriminate when it comes to partying. Booze is booze and if someone’s having a party, she’s there with her water bottle full of whiskey, getting her drunk text on. She’s probably brushing her teeth with some Jack Daniels as we speak, and feeling a lot like P. Diddy.
Keep hu$$tlin’, my friends. Keep hu$$tlin’.
But what does it says in the parenthesis????
Haha this is funny!
I think you should just appreciate it for the irony of it's location and the oppurtunity to post a funny blog…which it seems like you have.
So well done and thatnks for the laughs!
Stopping by from SITS.
I think that it says something like “I’m hu$$stlin, don’t you forget it” or something along those lines.
I could so see my 6 year old doing this. She's a Ke$ha fan. I try to censor the songs, but I must not be doing a very good job. She asked me the other day if she should brush her teth with a bottle of Jack.
Just call me Dad of the year…

It’s only a little scary to think that you’ve got 7 yr. old thugs in the hood. At least they’re still little enough, that you can hopscotch on their asses if you have to.
I love the transformation here: Sweet header and design. Way to Go.

This is hilarious! Mostly because it makes me feel old and removed from pop culture. Maybe I should start replacing my “s” with “$”!

This is AWESOME! I love it. Though admittedly now I've got that song in my head. Ah well, it's a good tune to go to work to, especially when anticipating a rough day. Hilarious. Fun that you're from Chicago, I am there now, living in the NW burbs and working in the Loop. Congrats on your SITS day! (Every day I'm husstlin… every day I'm husslin'… every day I'm every day I'm every day I'm husslin'…)

Too funny. It's a little hard to believe some little urchin is really that hardcore when they've made their bold statement in CHALK. haha
Visiting from SITS. Congrats on being featured!
Maybe we should be glad it was chalk and not paint??
Very funny post!
Hahaha! Love it.

Congrats on your SITS day. I've jumped around and read some of your posts, and do like you.
You are a gifted writer, and your posts are interesting. I like the topics you choose from, and definitely…my kind of reading.
So glad to have met you.
Stopping by from SITS – Happy SITS day! What is funny about this is the fact that someone obviously wanted everyone to know about the said "husstlin" – He or she felt so overwhelmed that they felt the need to unburden themselves with sidewalk chalk.

Haha! This is hilarious!
I'm so glad I found your very funny blog through SITS!
Well, I know that everyday feels like a hustle to me. Thanks to lack of family planning! Actually, most days it feels like a good sort of happy line dancing "hustle." Other times it can feel like the falling into last place running the mile in PE class, hear the gym teacher say "let's hustle" kind of day. Stopping by from SITS! Fun blog!
That is too funny!
that is hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I gotta start checkin my hood out a little more!!!

It always gives me a little snicker, when vandals like the one's who chalked up your parking lot can't even handle remedial spelling.
Many years ago we were staying with some friends over the holidays. My girlfriend and I went out Christmas shopping in her car and left my car behind. When we returned home later that night, someone had used that spray-snow to write some nasty messages about Jews on my car. The lame thing is that they couldn't even spell Jew correctly. It completely defeated their purpose and watered down their message to the point that it was laughable. The weird thing is that I am actually half Jewish, but no one, especially in that neighborhood would have know this. The other thing is that the entire back portion of the car was loaded up with Christmas presents. What a pack of dip-wads!
That's hilarious…glad you got a picture of it!

Ah, the joys of apartment living! Although we didn't have anyone quite so…artistic…in ours. And I feel your pain with the 17 pound baby part. My oldest son was my "dump baby" – 20 pounds at 6 months! Following your blog from SITS.
