yeah they had to have that last one in there...a clogged up shitter was not what i had in mind when i chose this username..but its kinda fitting in a way cause sometimes thats just the way things are...problematic, full-o-shit, things not going to plan..that sorta thing ya know...to keep the balance ya gotta have moments, or days even when stuff just turns out crap....so im glad that i found this diverse extra definition to deadheading..it fits ;-)
Its the transhumanist definition which led me to become deadheading...because thats what really fits...ive been a ghost for many years, appearing where im expected and sometimes where im not...but never really being there.....
And every so often im out there with total sensory overload...participating wholeheartedly !
