chasing the dragon

Originally in reference to feeding an opium addiction, this can refer to ploughing through any task past the point of diminishing returns, with disregard to one's own health, sanity or well-being.

We shot 16 hours yesterday, so rather than go to sleep, I had a couple espressos and followed it with a handful of vivarin to work through the night. It's 9:00 AM and by this point, I'm just chasing the dragon.

Train chasing

A action done by following a train (usually the front locomotive) at the same speed as it is going, and being on a long sterch of road of highway with the same speed limit. This is done by railfans everywhere. But beware. At least 2 people are needed, or else you will crash into a pit or into another car. Also, watch your speed. If your too slow, people hit you, or go aroud you and flip the bird. If your too fast, you hit another person, or your shot is ruined because you will pee your pants or go into a rage if you don't keep up.

I saw this one kid train chasing, and he hit a ditch and got the shit knocked out of him

Chasing the dream

If someone is said to be "Chasing the dream" Its means that they are going out drinking again on the night after a previous nights heavy drinking, even though they know it wont be as good as the previous night. An example would be having an amazing night on a Friday, then on the next day (saturday) going out again, trying to replicate the previous nights antics. They are said to be "chasing the dream"

Guy 1: You going out again tonight?
Guy 2: Yeah, think it will be really good.
Guy 1: I think you are chasing the dream.
