Mack C's definitions

driving south

1. A totally plausible transition period one reaches while driving on the open freeway after work on a beautiful Friday afternoon, with the wind in your hair, some Smashing Pumpkins blaring from the stereo, a pocket full of money, a chilled beverage in your lap, and anticipating an awesome weekend.
2. Unwinding after work and entering a far truer realm of existence.

Dude, after driving south for a half hour I'm ready for the festivities!"

homeless

when one has exausted all resources and is reduced to the insane condition of toting a small travel bag, aimlessly riding buses, selling plasma, nodding-out in public libraries, standing in welfare lines, eating in soup kitchens, walking in a dream, sleeping in shelters and parks, worrying about the next fix, and knowing that going to jail is a step up on the social ladder.

Dude, maybe he's homeless because he's mental, can't care for himself, and nobody cares.

chicago

Located on the southern tip of Lake Michigan, Chicago has an incredible skyline. Chicago is very culturally diverse and has awesome pizza, interesting museums, beautiful parks, blues clubs, and a strong theatre scene too. All four seasons are enjoyed in Chicago, but the summers can get intencely hot and the winters bone-chilling cold. The "hawk" (forceful wind) blowing off Lake Michigan in the winter toughens-up the residents there.

"...back to the same old place, sweet home, Chicago!"
