rehab

An expensive but life-saving haven where rock-bottom addicts can finally sleep in a bed and eat something other than corn chips. Five percent of these regain their freedom, health, families, homes, jobs, and drivers licence by learning to change. The remaining ninety-five percent of these are just resting-up before their next binge.

Dude, I just got released from jail, evicted from my apartment, fired from my job, had another seizure, and my wife left me. Guess I'll get loaded and go back to rehab.

smooth

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!"

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!"

jimi hendrix

A self-taught guitarist who developed into a virtuoso and became the most accomplished and influential musician in the history of rock music. Hendrix spent years traveling on the chitlin circuit, learning the blues and honing his craft. He landed in New York's Harlem and Greenwich Village, trying to make a name for himself and nearly starving to death. He caught a break by going to England and showing them what an authentic bluesman really is. From October 1966 to September 1970 Hendrix took music to heights in had never been. Drugs, women, and the music business killed him at age 27.

Dude, when Jimi Hendrix played that solo with his teeth I fell out of my chair.

Dude, an intellectual explained to me that the planet earth is the result of a "big bang" in the universe and that man evolved from the swamps.

menudo

Awesome Mexican soup made with tripe (beef stomach,) hominy, chile peppers, onions, cilantro, oregeno, and a splash of lime. Some like menudo served with tortilla and "con pata"--which means with a pig's foot in there too. Menudo is traditionally eaten on Saturday mornings and has been known to cure the common hangover.

Dude, I'm gonna have a bowl of menudo and then take a little nap.
