​@@crungushakooter As above, "livin' the dream" means a white dude is a flea's taint hair away from ending it all, but "another day in paradise" on the other hand... That means that the white dude in question has gone full Colonel Kurtz mode and has embraced the all-consuming madness of his tartarean purgatory...
