Nerves

Have you ever wondered to yourself where nervousness come into play? I was pondering this to myself, as I was experiencing it a lil while earlier. Everybody feels this way sometimes, whether it's about meeting someone, about how you look, or what others might think of this or that.

And one realizes how everybody does feel that way, but it doesn't always take the pressure off, does it. ^^ People make fools of themselves all the time, worrying about things, when if they just relaxed, there'd be less to worry about. Ah but not as easy as that, is it. So, here's a step by step guide on how to ease nervousness.

1) A hammer can be useful in some situations. After all, if you drop a hammer on say, your foot, for example, your not as nervous when your feeling the pain from the stinging of this injury. However, then your nervous about how stupid you just looked. Hmm, maybe this step is to be avoided. Let's try again.

2) Laughing Gas. Works wonders about easing those nerves. After all, when you have laughing gas you aren't thinking about the fact that the dentist is looking at how badly you cared for your teeth, you just find everything...groooovy. So would this work in a general encounter? A lil laughing gas...relax....but then you'd have to worry about the person wonderin why you are acting like such a dork. Pfft, this step wouldn't work either.

3) Drunkenness. When your drunk, the world's a party! Unless you end up puking, cradling that porcelain god, positive that it will save you and bring you redemption. I suppose that wouldn't work, for one thing, it's hard to have a conversation while your puking in the bathroom. "Oh, I think *barf spew gag* that the Broncos *spray* have a *oh god, this porcelain, my head is spinning...what was i talking about?* a good chance at *oh I think I'm dying...this is my last moments, oh god, can my stomach expunge anymore??* Playoffs.

Probably not the finest moment ever in one's life. Probably not the best for an impression either, and afterwards you got the nervous "oh geez, what did I do last night" and the "oh god, how foolish did I look" and hopefully you were spared the Coyote Ugly syndrome. Perhaps this is one to skip as well.

4) Looking at one's feet. After all, how can you get nervous when you talk to your feet? Ah but then there's the drawback of looking like an uninterested dork who can't communicate, and alas, there wanders away your company. Ah, but then your not nervous, because your alone...all alone....completely and utterly alone.... Okay, maybe this step wouldn't work either.

5) Filling one's mouth with food. You can't look like a fool when you can't talk, and after all, at least your looking them interestedly in the eyes. Ah but then, you can't respond (or if you do, they walk away faster) and you end up looking like you can't pass a buffet table without pause. Ah and then there's the lovely addition to food on your shirt. Very classy. Perhaps this isn't the step to follow either.

In summary, there is no step by step guide, as you just gotta get through it and relax. Everyone gets nervous, because we're all human, and the world sucks. Ah but then you have the bright moments. Like this blog that has made you smile for 1.5 seconds of your life. Don't you feel enriched? Now if you wish to kick me, do so, in the comments section. ^_~ Don't blame me if you actually follow those steps and they don't work. Because I will tell you, they don't work :p Just go with the flow, and until next time I have a random thought to squiggle out ~
