This is a mindset that usually comes during a lengthy, alcohol and drug fueled break directly after a period of nonstop commitments.

An answer to the rhetorical "how's it going?". Usually given when someone at work asks how you are and it is quite obvious that you have a crappy job and are just as broke as the next person. Most often used by cab drivers when business is slow.

One who is willing to die to live the way they want. Willing to sacrifice everything to succeed how they want. Max risk, max reward. Few are these, and fewer who succeed.
