5 Hour Energy- No crash later?


I think it all depends on your body mass and how it is taken. 

I'm no stranger to this energy drink. I take them on major nights, when I need to be up to study. Otherwise, that ish is out of my reach.
Well last night as of 10pm, things didn't turn out as expected.
I had my first meal of the day (cereal) at approx 2hours before I took the shot. Guess my meal wasn't heavy enough. 10mins after taking the shot I was feeling too hyperactive, I was like "wow, it didn't waste time acting". Unknown to me, it was heading for a greater than normal effect *I guess*
Welp, after 1hour of ignoring that symptom, I started hyperventilating, felt very dizzy, heart beating way too fast (tachycardia). I reached to grab my BP monitor but thought it'd be best I get help first. Crawled outta my room  to my roommate's who called the paramedics. 
My blood sugar was low, had a high respiration...and the rest is history. I was put in the van, to be transported to the hospital. An IV push was started, a nasal cannula for oxygen, connected to several electrodes, PG monitor, pulse oximeter...etc.

Bottom line is..........................................................
I am hale and hearty all thanks to God. Upon getting home the next day, I did some research and found out that some people have had heart attacks from taking this energy drink. I am just thankful that my case wasn't too complicated. 

I was very frightened for my life. First time anything of such has ever happened to me. But hey, I wouldn't condemn the drink; I'd recommend you take it with caution. Take 1/2 a dose as needed and eat a full course meal!

Blue Ivy Carter

It all started when Beyonce announced her bundle of joy, singing for two at MTV's Video Music Award, first through her song "Love On Top". She said " I want you to feel the love that's growing inside me". Then by showing off her baby bump at the end of her performance, rubbing her belly. Here in this pic:



And here


We all know of the controversy that went on while she was pregnant. From the rumors of her fake baby bump to her alleged due date which changed multiple times, to...some people went to an extent by saying she was going to get the unborn baby from a surrogate mother.

Anyway, today, after the long wait for pictures of Baby Blue, it finally surfaced on twitter through Solange Knowles. This is a tumblr for Blue Ivy---> Here
