Culure - Hip Opinion

Laughing Gas Buzz

by DaveStuff | Aug 4, 2009 | Addiction, Culure

Laughing gas… Yep… I was buzzing while sitting in the torture chamber. I had dreams of rocking chair people and marmalade pies. And, my mind was still drifting in and out of the high piercing sound of the dentist’s drill..What a combination.

The appointment seemed to go on and on…But the time was well spent while I deeply inhaled. And of course the possibility of keeping my teeth for a few more years…But was that the real reason I went? Well, of course 🙂

I floated on a cloud… Gee, the next appointment ain’t until January…That’s when my insurance fills up again… Guess I could always just get a few cans of whip cream… Nawww… It aint’ ALL that great after all…

How to Overcome Shyness

Shy and terrified of people. “She is gonna think I’m pathetic.” She will think my opinion is worthless. (Kind of like this blog)

It’s all in your mind I think. The fact is most people enjoy talking about themselves so that is a good starting point to overcome shyness. Consider these examples:

I like your blue hair. You see colored hair everywhere these days.
You tired of this rain yet? It’s been raining here for weeks.
Did that tattoo hurt? You already know it did.
Think Obama can fix this economy? – Pry them for their political views.
You seen that new Star Trek movie? Label yourself a Nerd right away.

Exercise these 5 questions at your local Wal-Mart and make new friends.
Hey, wait… What the heck’s wrong with being shy anyways?

Social Anxiety Disorder? A review of symptoms.

by DaveStuff | May 8, 2009 | Culure, Weirdness

You ever heard of Social Anxiety Disorder? There are just so many of them these days… I like to pick and choose which one I could possible be… I often ask friends to go ahead and “diagnose” me… Know what I’m sayin?

Allow me to consider the symptoms one by one:

Eating or drinking in front of others. I’m sure I’ll spill something all over my clothes or smack my food…
Writing or working in front of others.– They are always looking over my shoulder ready to suggest something I can do better.
Being the center of attention. OMG everybody’s staring at me.
Interacting with people, including dating or going to parties. I can’t wait till this party/date is over so I can get home and be by myself.
Asking questions or giving reports in groups. They will think my ideas are ridiculous. Or downright stupid.
Using public toilets. – Your kidding right? Home or Quiktrip stores are the only options.
Talking on the telephone. Honey, can you call in sick for me?

Perhaps some self medicating Vodka could be the cure? Or would that make it worse? Don’t believe everything you think.

Do Drugs Enhance Musical Creativity?

I took some Tylenol PM last night. I was playing my heart out on the guitar.. I played some of my favorite covers.. Paul Simon, Pink Floyd, The Beatles. Tossed in a few of my originals… I may play a little picnic gig thing in May.

You know, I think it sounded better because I was getting a little woozy from the “PM” part of the Tylenol. Or maybe it was in my head. In any case:

DO mild altering drugs enhance musical creativity? Do they make you play better? You know there are tons of musicians out there that think so. And some of the best records in history were made while “under the influence.” Or that’s what is said in musician drug circles.

Some Bands on Drugs:

Beatles
The Who
Pink Floyd
David Bowie
The Doors
Greatful Dead
Rolling Stones
Jefferson Airplane
Led Zeppelin
ETC..etc..etc

But drugs have a way of telling lies. Maybe these people were talented and creative rather they were on drugs or not. Perhaps creativity is a gift… Drugs are just taking the credit. What do you think?

Does Wearing a Ball Cap Make You Go Bald?

When I finally got a job that allowed me to grow my hair out without any consequences I finally set out to do that…The problem was that my hair was always in my face. It was a horrible thing because it was not long enough to pull back into a ponytail.

The solution? Put on a ball cap. I wore one for over a year until my hair was long enough to pull back out of my face. I became known at my new job as the dude that always wore that same hat. These new co workers thought it was something I always did…Wear a hat.

I told them I don’t ever wear a hat actually…That it just kept the hair out of my face….That’s good, they said…Because wearing a hat will make your hair fall out.

What? You gotta be kidding right?

Mary Jane and Stupidity.

Hey man, lets go get “stupid”

That’s what one cat told me when he wanted to go smoke a joint one time… Sure I went and lit up and all but the term really made me consider things…
DOES pot make you stupid? Heck why do you think they call it “dope”

I have always thought it was a rather harmless drug… Alcohol seems to kill more innocent (and not so innocent) people…The war on pot seems never ending expensive and pointless.

But does it make you stupid? Well, I dunno… Dude, but I made straight D’s and some F’s in high school back in the DAZE! -I think cause I was high… Even the idiots in pineapple express realized that they couldn’t seem to get it together because they were so high… I guess they did in the end though…

Nobody thought that movie was funny did they? Guess ya had to be high.. 🙂
