I never did learn how to do a headstand. As a little girl I was terrified of looking stupid when I failed. I thought people would care. Now I know better. But it worries me that I will fall down and hurt myself. I traded in one fear for another. It's sad really, the insecurities I was raised with. They were meant to protect, but are only a shell.

i fell off my bed slightly and noticed the ceiling above me. the world sure looks different when you're upsidedown. I'm always afraid taht one day gravity will reverse itself (maybe on opposite day) and taht we will go flying upwards, the only thing stopping me from flying endlessly to my death would be this thin ceiling. I proceded to make myself try and do a handstand and failed miserably. at least i know that gravity s still doing its job.

I tumble. Summer flies past like a breeze, though almost still with its heat, and the bitter sound of flies and yellowjackets spinning around my head. And the world spins, captures itself up in my head like another wave of light, erupting as I find myself rolling in the grass.

I dont know what a "headstand" is at all. Maybe it is something you can put your head on while you're writing stuff? I can't stand the head? Sounds like a song...

My head cannot stand. It usually just rolls. My tongue is a brake, my mouth is the fuel, when it rolls fast, sometimes it drools.

A painful position that causes an unbearable pressure on the head... If I struggle then I just brace myself and withstand the agony... because just like life, if there is no pain then there is no gain...but in time it does get easier.

I've pretty much always been able to do a headstand. Once, my friends and I were practicing gymnastics in the yard, headstands and walkovers and stuff, and I fell over onto Megan and bit her arm. Her grandmother freaked out and washed it out as if I had rabies or something. That was the same summer that they had that waterslide in their back yard and I always almost killed myself on it.

When I was a kid, my sister and I used to do headstands all the time. At first, we had to prop ourselves up against the walls, but eventually we could do it without any help. Some time later, it would lead to handstands and then lots of falling down.

Doing a headstand is a rather impressive feat of anyone for any age to do. Sustaining it is an even harder ability. It requires a lot of skill, balance, and of course, flexibility for someone to be able to do a headstand. Usually it takes a person of a younger age to do so, but not always.

when i as 6, my teacher tried to make me do a headstand. Despite being a fat kid, i tried and tried and tried. But all i could manage to do was to get on my hands and knees. And that is where I have been ever since.

A headstand is a very difficult task to complete. You must use your head as the base and sometimes your hands as support. If you dont have have a good balance you just might end up injuring your neck and many other places.....Becareful!!

Headstand is what acrobats can do and yoga experts too. Good as long as you don't fall and hurt yourself.

Headstands are the perfect way to give yourself a killer rush and see the world as God (without gravity) ultimately intended. It always hels to HS for at least 6-10 minutes to get the full rush effect, the final product is addictive, so be careful!

The headstand is a marvel of acrobatic and flexibility. Many wonder how the handstand was originated, many wonder why people felt the need to stand on their heads. Personally, I don't like handstands as they make me dizzy. Some people like to do handstands all the time, while others prefer to stand on their own two feet. I like watching people do handstands. It is always fun to watch people try.

I love to do headstands, they make me feel like I am harmless and nothing can touch me. You see from a completely different perspective, which in my eyes is one of the most important things in life.

he practiced headstands due to his aversion for standing upright. a practicing yogi from burbank ca with no prospects for income he also spent much of his time headstanding at the beach facing the water timing his breath with the surf. This was very relaxing. One day it came to him; life is not about income. Life is about freedom and expression. He took his new life style and began walking upright. He began reseeing the world he'd come to expect to offer things in a different orientation.

what is a headstand? like a hand stand? well i can do hand stands. I do them against a wall using it as support. i never was very good at blanacing. i fall down the stairs at least once a day. I know, that can lead to brainfailure but stairs are pretty awkward. there is this girl sitting enxt to me right now and she is awkward too. however, i may have lesbian thoughts for her. whoops! bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A headstand is a pretty simple move. You rotate yourself upside down, and let your weight fall down on to your head. It works best if you have a strong neck and arms, as well as a keen sense of balance. Also be sure to wear appropriate clothing (skirts and cleavage-showing dresses don't work well). Thanks.

Standing on my head. Blood rushing to my face. I am purple. I need to stand up like a normal person. But I can't. I enjoy this, as sick and twisted as it is. Maybe this is death? But I can come back down from it. You can't return from death. Maybe. All I know is that now I am purple and upside down.

When I was little I loved to do headstands against the wall. I would get into a little ball and put my head against the wall, and then put my legs out and they try to hoist them against the wall. It never lasted long, though, because I would always get dizzy.

I once did a headstand for three days. I slipped out of consciousness, but my friend was there to splash water on me every time I did. I was trying for a world record, but I don't think I made it. We didn't realize we had to document it, unfortunately. I think my sixty seconds is up, but I can apparently still type.

When I was a kid, I practiced and practiced. To no avail. Now, the thought of attempting it just makes me laugh. I'd be putting pride and body in harm's way. I get enough of that just getting out of bed in the morning, and facing the world where headstands are rarer and rarer.

i've never been able to do a head stand. i don't know if it's because of my poor sense of balance or my extremely soft head. probably the later. it is, after-all, the place where we keep the salad tongs. and sometimes when we don't have a clean vase, the fresh cut flowers. oh how i long to do a headstand.

I was a little girl then, getting a test done on a tumor I had in my brain. I was in the children's section of the hospital, and there was a nurse playing with a little boy. When the boy left with his parents, I walked over to the nurse, and asked her to play with me. She agreed, and asked me what I wanted to play. I told her I had always dreamed of being a cheerleader, and asked her if she wanted to help me practice. She smiled, and asked me if I knew how to do a headstand. Never having the opportunity to practice, I told her no. She smiled wider, and, to my complete shock, did a perfect headstand. I clapped my hands and cheered her on, and when she finally got back onto her feet, I ran over and hugged her. After that, she spent half an hour teaching me how to do a headstand. After I had successfully done one, another nurse came in. She seemed shocked to see a little girl doing headstands. She asked me where my parents were, and why I was unsupervised. I told her I wasn't, and a nice...

She did a headstand but I didn't see the point. The world upside-down was no more relevant to me than the world downside-up. However, I didn't realize that, to her, it was just as irrelevant to her that I didn't understand.

I'm standing on my head. Heads are standing on a stand. Here's a stand with heads of my enemies. Are you my friend, friend? You've got a pretty head there. Did you take a look at a mirror lately? I tell you....

what the hell is a headstand???? i know what a handstand is .... oh. right. so essentially a handstand on your head???? gosh doesnt that hurt? i know when guys breakdance and do the move where they spin around on their heads, they tend to wear helmets (unless they're comedians who like hurting themselves). so a headstand puts so much pressure on your head that it gives you a huge bruise under your hair. jesus. i wouldn't do it anytime soon. but i know people who would especially if they're drunk. definitely drunk. maybe even not drunk. i don't know. what's going on????? why isn't this thing stopping like it's supposed to???

this is more than a rush of blood to the head. i'm stuck, constantly in a headstand, the world has flipped itself over, and i'm suffering the consequences, stuck in the past. i can't get myself right again, it's just so hard, so hard to move on, to get away.

It was a windy day; there could be no disputing that... not ideal weather for a scaffolder, but there was bills to be paid. One zealous gust was all it took; 3 stories was enough for Jim to become a once living sculpture, as the cement dried on his last headstand. The bills would remain unpaid.

i do a headstand to sleep better and perscribe thoughts to roll to my mind and out on the floor so my mind is empty to sleep clear but the floor is littered with thoughts and i have to roll around on it in the morning to fill my brain back up! oh dear! i'm dirty from the floor in order to think!

The head is made for standing upon. I love giving and receiving head, and consequently love standing as well. Sitting is alright, if you have a comfortable chair, but standing is just the tops when you have nowhere to sit. And what about head anyhoo?

The girls doing their headstands are having so much fun, stretching their bodies to natural limits, even those who cannot achieve the pose are enjoying themselves. I long for thier innocence, their freedom to move unfettered by self-image, as I perch (skirted and adult) on the desk at the front of the room.

I tried a headstand once. It flattened my head. For the next week I looked like Frankensteins' monster. I was ridiculed to the point I thought I would never do another headstand again. Until I met - her. She loved my headstand head. We fell in love and did headstands forever.

being a kid, i was too chubby to stand on my head. i couldn't even do a cartwheel 'cause i was too self concious of anyone looking between my legs, even for a fraction of a second. i've tried to do a headstand in the privacy of my own home, but i'm afraid i've missed out on the prime age of doing on and just get a headache now with every attempt. oh well, there's always my next life to be a little more brave!

I've never been able to do a headstand, but I'm sure that if I were indeed able to do one, all the blood would rush to my head and I'd get a headache. The way I like to get rid of headaches is by drinking hard alcohol, so I guess it has to be said that if I do a headstand, I'll probably end up drunk.

Indignant societal views about the headstand leave it compromised forever. It's seen as something a pranster only does, contortionists, and the like continue to see it as a means necessary for their trickery- but it is only an illusion. in fact, every headstand is actually how you SHOULD stand, we just haven't been able to come to terms with it yet.

hahaha, nope, i can't do headstands. i'm too fat. but i could when i was littler. sometimes i flip over on my honey's knees when he's on the couch, and put the top of my head on the floor and pretend i'm doing a headstand. or i flip my neice over and put her on her head, like she's doing one. she loves it. it's cute.

I haven't done one in years though now.

A headstand is when a person stands on their head. It takes both balance and practice to perform this feat, a feat of no real intrinsic value. Most politician try to perform this feat to impress people with their inherent ability to both balance their approach to situations and to show their ability to practice difficult feats. I have never seen a politician who could successfully perform a headstand without cheating. The Bush administration is constantly trying to perform headstands, balancing religious issues with a desire to please a nation of predominately Christians while at the same time show a strong diverse nation that it understands and adheres to the rights of religious minorities. In this area it is failing as do all political movements that proclaim they are fighting evil. One cannot fight evil and at the same time use adherence to a fundamentalist religious believe system. It is neither logical or practical, to claim one religion superior to another. To do so pre-empts that one must be inferior.

When I was a child I could so do a headstand, but because Iam from Scotland, we call them handstands, but in this case you balance on your head, funny thing is though when you're a child, you dont have flab everywhere, and your coordination is so good, but when your an adult, well that all goes out the window, but it was so cool to be able to do that, I was so proud of myself, if only I could do it now, but I would fall over or get a headache, or break my back or something, which would not be a good thing, children are so carefree and fearless, doing a headstand is fun and a bit show offy as well, but that's what you like when you're a kid

was the immature, unfortunate cousin of the handstand. something us gymnasts lavished in; our ability to balance on two hands without the aid of our heads. it didn't mess up our hair. and we didn't remain still, but pirouetted in circles as our other classmates struggled to keep their feet off the ground.

There's something to be said about headstands. Why do overzealous teenagers perform them? In usual mating rituals, the male is the show-off-y type. Men are not physically apt for the challenge. We are left to wonder. What on earth is going through these girls' minds? We may never know.

i was stading on a headstand and i fell off and well then this policman came over and started talking to me about my life and how it has been. i felt really weird being asked that right after i fell off a headstand. so i told him what was his problem? and he started looking at me suspiciously and started questioning me on my profile. it was then when the principal came out of the assembly hall and waved to me and said hi superintendent joe.

interresting thing to do a hheadstand - all the blood runs up or rather down to your head and then you feel a kind of swelling in youur eyes - after a while it starts to hurt and bits ot you start to feel prettty weird - people swear it is good for them but i dont believe it - still i like to do them in a masochistic kind of way but better still is to convince opther people to do them in the hope that i wont feel so silly when the compulsion over comes me - if i could stop doing headstand i would but in the end im a kind of addict and i guess as addisction sgo its a fairly harmless one - remember to keep a soft towel to coil up and place ont he ground if you are goin gto go for a particularly ong head stand otherwise you will wear all the hair off the top of your head
