There is something wrong with the stem, the bars or both. If you like your face, you should either figure out what's wrong, or bring the bike to a shop and have them figure out what's wrong and have it fixed before riding again. If you don't like your face and you think slamming it into the pavement would do some good, just tighten the bolts.
Sorry, no way to sugar coat it and there's no point in being subtle, front end failures cause real damage, if there's anything about the front end of the bike that's going to fail, it's time to stop riding the bike and have it fixed.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with your face - I know how some people read things into what I write...
