"Living the Dream."

Everyone that I hang around with knows that I am outgoing enough to ask how someone is doing and genuinely mean it. Well, the other day I was at the stop and rob store and I asked the gal "How are you doing?" she responded "Living the dream."

Now, I asked myself later, did I ask "What", or "How", I deduced "How", so then I started thinking. "Living the dream" does that mean..

I am doing okay despite the fact that I live with a deadbeat who takes my paychecks and cashes it for booze and dope, and beats me up in front of my three kids who's different fathers are all deadbeats too.. and thank God himself that this deadbeat isnt beating my kids, although I cant afford to buy diapers, let alone clothing or food for my babies....

So, when someone askes you "How you are doing..." try to respond with the appropriate answer. I am fine, Just shitty thanks. Whats it to ya? Go to hell dude!
