Look away I'm hideous.

OK first of all I am in a depressed mood with KG going to Boston, Johan Santana wanting to leave the Twins, and the Vikings just being the Vikings basically it is not a good time for MN sports right now. I solider on keeping my Minnesota head up but it has been a tough week not just in sports but personally too.



Last Friday I was told on Monday the whole Ohio State Athletic staff would be taking pictures to be put up on the website where our bios would be next to the photo for the whole world to see. Well I was excited because it meant I could wear my awesome jet black suite that all the ladies love. When I got home to try on my suite to make sure I still looked good in it, which I did, I started to notice something on my cheek. It was beginning to swell up, no matter I said probably a little pimple. Well it swelled bigger and bigger and I had no clue why. I think it was a allergic reaction to something or it could have been gout. I began to ice it thinking the cold would bring it down, it did not work I think it made it worse. That weekend I tried every method to make my cheek go down, I took pills, iced it again, face cleansers, and nothing was working. My last ditch effort was to pray for the best as I went to bed Sunday hoping a miracle would happen and my face would look just as good as it always does. Well I woke up Monday and notice the swelling was starting to engulf my eye basically it felt like high school pictures when I was in puberty. I put on my suite and tried to look my best but there is only so much you can do when it looks like you are 9 months pregnant on the side of your face. I went to work anyway, even though I could have called in sick, and got a lot of stares from coworkers and laughs. I went to the photographer and told him the situation . He tried to do as much as he could with the lighting and filtering his lense but there is only so much filtering you can do before it is too fuzz to see me. He assured me that they will be photoshoping them so I have nothing to worry about. Well I just got my ID back and I want to know what you think. I think they did a really good job and you can barely notice the swelling.
