Dumb Things I Do (ft. Nathan from Drawfee)

I'm pretty sure adulthood is a lie we tell ourselves. When you're an adult, you're supposed to have things figured out. You're supposed to know what's going on. You're supposed to be organized, responsible, and never do anything stupid. Extra, extra, read all about it! Another adult does something stupid and ruins everything! We all do dumb things. Even me! Yes, I know, hard to believe, but oh, it's true. Exhibit A. I have medical-based phobias. That's not the dumb part. For some reason, I'm fine with just blood by itself, but one of the things that does provoke this phobia of mine is hypodermic needles and injections. Getting a good ol' jab in the arm. So naturally, I've run into the problem of nearly fainting every single time I need a shot or my blood drawn. But I have found a solution, and here is the stupid part. In order to not faint while being stuck with a needle, I have to sing. Don't look at me like that! It's either deal with a lifeless body on your floor, or listen to some show tunes. So as it goes, anytime I need a shot or my blood drawn, this conversation happens. Hey, I know this is gonna sound weird, but in order to keep myself from fainting, I have to sing to distract myself. Oh, uh, don't worry about it. Do what you have to. Thanks. In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came, that voice which calls to me and speaks my name. Wow, you're a really great singer. Thank you, no, please hurry up! I think the reason this works is because I feel like I'm performing for the person who's drawing my blood, and my need to give a good performance actually overpowers my deep-rooted crippling psychological phobia. The show must go on, apparently! Speaking of performances, the other dumb thing I do is, I can't watch performance-based reality TV shows like American Idol, or The Voice, or America's Got Talent. Every time a new contestant goes up to perform, I start stressing out so badly because I know what auditions feel like. Having your dream ride on giving the best performance of your life and the crushing disappointment and devastation when you blow it. I end up putting myself in every single contestant's shoes, and I freak out for them, especially when they mess up. And at the end of a long day of work, I don't need that kind of stress in my life! I'm trying to relax! I want colorful cartoons and historical dramas, thank you very much! Good lord, this video should be renamed Dumb Things That Stress Me Out. Let's just move on. Yet another dumb thing I do is, whenever I'm taking a flight, I have to touch the outside of the airplane before I get on. And I honestly don't know why. I hear this one is more common than you think, and a lot of people do it out of superstition or as a quick prayer for safety, but I don't know why I do it. Routine, maybe? Tradition? Because I am never going to be on a plane hitting rough turbulence thinking, Well, we're dead! If I had just touched the outside of the plane, we'd be hunky-dory right now! No, I'm never gonna think that. Actually, come to think of it, I don't know what I would do if I ever forgot because... I've never forgotten. But I imagine it would go something like this. All right, everyone, we're about to close the cabin doors, so please be- Wait a minute. I didn't touch the outside of the plane. Or the seat in front of you. We can't take off! Uh, ma'am? Ma'am? Okay, now we can take off. That was actually a lot of fun talking about the dumb things I do. I want to give a special thank you to Nathan from Drawfee, who voiced the nurse and the flight attendant. We did a really fun video over on the Drawfee channel where we had to draw some pretty outlandish superheroes. I'll put a link to the video in the description and all of their social media. Please check them out over on Drawfee. Nathan and Jacob, they are so funny and entertaining, and they were such great hosts. So yes, go check them out. Go check out the video we made. Thank you guys so much for getting my Draw My Life to the number one spot on trending, and thank you so much for tuning in, but now I gotta tune out. Bye!
