"people tell me slow my roll i'm screaming out fuck that, i'm gonna do just what I want looking ahead no turning back, if I fall if I die know I lived it to the fullest, if I fall if I die know I lived it missing bullets...."
It's all about the pursuit of happiness... get yours because for damn sure I'm getting mine....

Warning
Do not take Niacin. I repeat, DO NOT TAKE NIACIN.
Why you ask? Let me tell you a little story.
A girlfriend of mine gave me a few weeks ago a list of vitamins and supplements to take. You know for your hair, detoxing, skin, blah blah blah. One of the vitamins on that list is Niacin.
On Sunday, I took one of each of the pills I ordered. About, ohhhh an hour and a half later I was in the laundry room doing my laundry when all of a sudden I got really hot. Out of no where, I felt like I was getting a heat rash. I started sweating and felt my face get all weird. I literally threw my clothes in the dryer and high tailed it out of there.
When I got to the elevator I looked in the mirror and my face was covered in sweat and looked red. It was hard to tell since the lighting was low but I could swear my face was swelling.
Oh yea it was indeed fucking swelling.
I got in my apartment, looked in the mirror and starting freaking out. My entire body was red. And I mean RED. Like a fucking lobster. And I was on fire along with being itchy as fuck. Imaging this, you sat in the sun for 5 hours without sunscreen and then proceeded to take a hot shower scrubbing yourself with a brillo pad.
That's exactly how I felt. Fun right?
Let's also not forget my face. It was so swollen I couldn't see my lips. (oh you don't think that is possible? Well it is.)
What do I do? Of course I call my mother. As I am freaking out and saying I need to go to the hospital she is saying this is some chemical warfare / gas leak shit (since 9/11 it's always borderline terrorism with her.).
So she instructs me to put a cold washcloth on my face, take a cold shower then put teabags on my eyes - you know to draw out the chemicals - and call her back in 10 minutes. I do this then lift the tea bags and my vision is blurred. I call her:
"I can't see. My vision is blurred."
"Ok, well did you press down hard on the tea bags over your eyes?"
"What? I dunno! Yes, no, maybe? I'm freaking out here! I have to go to the hospital! I mean all I have had today is a muscle milk (for the protein - natch) and vitamins."
"Wait - vitamins?"
I proceed to list out all the vitamins I took. She immediately gets on the computer and starts searching (side note - no one can search on the internet like my mom.).
"Can you breathe?"
"Yes"
"Is your stomach ok?"
"Yes"
"Ok, stay calm and relax."
"Do you think I can smoke a cigarette? That will calm me down."
"If you can breathe, yes."
Come to find out, I am having an allergic reaction to Niacin - somewhat. Somewhat you ask? Yes somewhat. Because, see, Niacin should make you flush in the skin, but, you really should only take 50mg a day. Me? I took 500mg. (what? thats all they had on GNC)
I now have to go to the pharmacy (thank god it is on the corner of my street) to get Benedryll (I have no idea how to spell that, and I am sooooo over spell check right now.). I of course keep her on the phone with me.
So here I am in Duane Reade ripping open a box of pills before I pay and pound down 3.
It worked. Though I was still a little pink Monday morning. And the weirdest part, this happened to my Aunt a week prior. You would think though this little story of hers would come up during our daily phone call. Would have saved me the trouble.
