Worst Blog Ever

Ok, today I am giving one good thing and one bad thing. Specifically, one good thing I like about myself, and one bad thing which I don't like about myself. There are many ways I could take this topic, but as beauty is only skin deep, let's keep it confined to physical characteristics.

Ok, one thing I really like about myself is my hair.

Well, that's pretty vain!

Hear me out first.

Let's get one thing out in the open, despite my bravado, and over-inflated sense of self esteem, I realise that I'm not a handsome guy.

Oh, come on Leo! You're...you know, you're a... well, I'd say...hmmm

See.

Look, I've got a head that is as round as a pumpkin, my neck is almost as wide as my waist. I have no jawline; see the round head comment made earlier, and my chin has decided that since the neck is so big, why bother even trying. BUT. I've got a full, bushy, wiry head of hair! Sure, it's grey, and yes it has more cow-licks that a holstein's udder, but by gum, I've got a nice head of hair!

Ok, that is one thing I like, now for the one thing I don't like. Again, we're sticking with outward appearance here. The one thing that I hate about myself, and if I could, I'd change in a heartbeat, is my skin.

Me and a couple of my brothers all have a genetic condition called ichthyosis. Which is a dry, thickening scaly skin condition. The condition kind of resembles fish scales, which is why it is called icthyosis. The condition will generally worsen in the winter, and clear up slightly in the summer. There are a couple of treatments that can help it, like some perscription topic lotions, but for the most part, it is something that bothered me about myself. But hey...I've got a damn fine head of hair!
