Today’s Phrase - Livin’ the Dream, aka Living the Dream

Livin’ the Dream - The standard answer to ‘how are you?’. The inflection given and the day’s circumstances indicate what kind of ‘dream’ is being lived. There are days that everyone is gearing up for an amazing performance and they’re hyped to live the dream of being on stage in front of a great crowd. And there are other days that the dream consists of 500 miles on a bus into a show with tiny, dirty dressing rooms and considering it quite generous when there happens to be a tray of sweaty deli meat and a few oranges for catering. Some days it’s a dream, some days it’s sarcasm, but no matter what, it’s the dream.
