First off, a word from our sponsors. Check out the unique handmade mirrors from The Pinotti Collection. Any Color. Any Size.. And now, back to our regularly scheduled blog.I've compiled a list of similar incidents that have occurred to me over the last 34 years. These scenarios normally happen 5 or more years apart. See if you can spot a pattern.
- In the 4th grade I was in the Jersey Village High School auditorium rehearsing with my class for one of those ''America Is Great'' programs. I complain about feeling ill to my home room teacher Mrs. Schaeper. She's a b*tch and just blows me off. I pass out briefly by slumping up against the wall. She thinks I was kidding around. I think she sucks.
- In 11th grade during summer marching band practice, I feel out of it. At one moment I'm staring at the band hall. The next minute, my band director Mr. Cunningham is asking me what I ate for breakfast and I'm flat on the ground, wind knocked out of me. Nice.
- While attending college at HBU, I suddenly feel a weird unease and get up and walk out of my Microbiology class. I spot the elevator. I hop in. I pass out.
- While attending an Anatomy and Physiology class in 1996 at HCC, I pass out during a spinal cord overview. Actually, I cracked my head against the table and completely collapsed to the floor. Same deal as the others. Except now I was in a room with chiropracters and they sent my ass off to the E/R. Diagnosis? Vaso vagal syncopy. What's that mean? I dunno.
- In 2001 after The Great Broken Ankles Incident, I black in and out while waiting in the hospital emergency room.
- And finally, this past Friday night while I was at Numbers, I *nearly* blacked out again. I recognized it coming on (finally, right?) and shook it off.
