Smoking and alcoholism

I don't smoke—hate the stuff.
I might have a drink here and there, usually just grabbing a cold beer. 😁

Caught his show for the first time last night. Seriously, what a killer concert! Man, the way he works that guitar is just insane, and honestly, the guy is easy on the eyes too. 🤣 🙏 I’m a huge fan of performers who actually vibe with the crowd like that. If you ever get a chance, you absolutely have to go see him. Just go.
Fainted / Passed out
in Health ·
I actually passed out once after standing in a massive crowd for almost an hour. I was just waiting in line for something. Right before it happened, my legs felt totally numb, I felt super lightheaded, and I started seeing these little white spots dancing in front of my eyes. 😁 I honestly think I had enough time to react (or maybe I'm just kidding myself), but because I’m such a stubborn person and didn't want to lose my spot in line, I stayed put. The next thing I knew: I was on the floor and people were scrambling to help me up.
The diagnosis? "You're fine, you just have low blood pressure."
I realized that these episodes happen when I'm standing still for too long in a packed crowd. Since then, I've been super careful and it hasn't happened again (it's been 9 years now!). As soon as I feel even a tiny hint of weakness, I make sure to step outside for some fresh air, and I'll be just fine. 🙂
