Newest injury

This friendly game of flag football could be the death of me.



Another week another injury.

This time it is a severe case of rug burn. I was chasing down another player and slid on the artificial turf and ripped the skin off my leg.

Here I'm explaining to the Miller Lite girls how I got a boo boo at our Packer Miller Lite tailgate party.

They were really concerned about my health...

Nikki besides working for Miller is an athletic trainer and gave me some advice on how to treat my injuries.

Something tells me I'll need to talk to her again after Saturday the next time I play a "FRIENDLY" game of Flag Football.

At least my eye is getting better. You can barely see my one time black eye.

How's my eye look today?... tomorrow will be a week after the incident.

Yesterday we added a day-glow yellow to the color scheme or maybe it was some puss oozing out of my eye.

I have evidence and a better story of how I got my blackeye now too. How does this sound? I was walking down the hallway minding my own business when I came around the corner and got jacked up by a mobster. Vito of the Sopranos didn't like how I looked at him as he was walking down the hall here at radio city, so he did what mobsters do...showed his displeasure with his fists.


Do you see the delight in Vito's face as he's about to pound me into next week.

(and for you sopranos fans that know Vito's story line I mean pound with his fists on my face)

I clearly am fearful for my life or else I'm quite an actor, you decide.

They say my black eye is starting to look better. Are they right?





Well at least the swelling is going down. I also like the new colors.... the red purple, orange, and just a hint of day-glo yellow. I'm not sure but I think it glows in the dark.





Check back tomorrow to see if a new color of the rainbow has appeared.

So how does my eye look today? I think we've added a new color to the rainbow I see yellow!

It may be getting better. When I push on my eye I don't feel it as much in my lip anymore. It was just so weird and it seems like the novacaine like feeling in my teeth is going away. I still am just as out of it as ever so no effects of a concussion linger.

I still haven't decided if I'll need to wear a helmet when I go out in public or play football again Saturday.


I think a welders helmet should do the trick if necessary.

Alright so most everyone here at KTI has asked me how I got my black eye.

I still haven't come up with a better story of how I got my black eye.....


So if you have a better story than a flag football injury email it to me at kyle@wkti.com or comment on the bottom of the blog.

Today it looks a little different than yesterday... check back tomorrow for it's new color.

It eventually will get to all the shades of the rainbow.

You should see the other guy!

So today I walked into work with a real SHINER. This past weekend I was playing in my friendly "Flag" football game when I got a shoulder to my face.





After a big flash of light and trying to remember exactly where I was and what I was doing there I realized I should probably wear a helmet playing this friendly "FLAG" football game.

Besides the cut on my eye, the swelling and colors of the rainbow I think I might have had a slight concussion. I felt really funky Saturday night funkier than normal.. some might say I go through life with the effects of a concussion. I was dizzy, lightheaded, and my vision was blurred.
Some might say that's a typical Saturday night too. But it was a bit different than normal.

Maybe I should consider wearing a helmet to protect my Farm and Fleet Catalog modeling career. But what helmet should I wear?


A diver's helmet?


This helmet is cool, it comes with a walkie talkie!













If I wear this helmet I could also use the forces of the dark side.















This helmet wouldn't offer much protection but maybe they would be laughing too hard to hit me in the face.







In medieval times they wore these when playing a friendly game of "Flag" football.



















The beauty of this helmet is, it's not only a football helmet but it also comes with snacks.


In ancient times gladiators of the grid iron wore these with cute red hair.









So many helmets and only a few more days until I will be playing again and risking bodily harm. And for the record the other guy looks fine.

HALLOWEEN HAUNTS

It's halloween season and time for some spooky fun. Last weekend I visited MORGAN MANOR at the Waukesha Expo Grounds. When I arrived I got the chance to get into make-up. Hollywood make-up artist Bloody Mary as she is known transformed me into a frozen dead zombie guy.










Bloody Mary did the makeup of all the frozen dead people in Titanic, along with many big movies like Black Hawk Dawn, Behind Enemy Lines and whole bunch more. Bloody Mary also has a company that creates make-up that they use on all the CSI shows (for the dead people).


After my transformation to Frozen dead guy I got the chance to experience the Haunted House of MORGAN MANOR. When you start the haunted experience they put you into a Barn and lock you into horse stables in the dark it's pretty cool. When it was our time we traveled to the graveyard and into the unknown which is by far the best thing about a haunted house. You never knew what could possibly be waiting for you around the corner...a bloody girl with whacked out eyes in a crib... or some guy who looked as if he would like to eat my arm. Morgan Manor gave our whole group the creeps which is exactly what we wanted.....and it seemed to last forever with my heart pounding the whole way.

The Gufs Rock!

Friday night the Gufs made a triumphant return to the stage with their new CD in toe.














the Gufs fans were excited and so was I to hear the new music.





and of course the old favorites too!






Milwaukee loves the Gufs and the Gufs love Milwaukee too!





Look for the new CD Different Sea available October 17th.

On the Cat walk

Tuesday night I made my debut as a model in the Goodwill Retro Rendevous....




I strutted my stuff in some really nice clothes from Boston Store along with Packers wide receiver Donald Driver, Long snapper Rob Davis and former Packer Santana Dotson.


Today's TMJ 4's Molly Fay and Alison de Castro, Packers Linebacker AJ Hawk's wife Laura and Donald Drivers wife Betina represented the women for the show.


Besides the great look from Boston Store they put me in a fur coat.
OH YEA BOY....














Pimpin' with Molly Fay













For look two it was a suit















Now time for the red leather

One thing is for sure I won't be entering America's next top model anytime soon.

A great time and it helped raise money for Goodwill but not once did they play RIGHT SAID FRED's "I'm too sexy" on the catwalk... Maybe next year.

THE GUFS

Saturday I got a chance to hang out with the Gufs at their rehearsal as they get ready for their CD Release show Friday October 6th at the Pabst Theater. If you want to know what they've been up to since their last CD 7 years ago you can check out the interview I did with the guys on our PODCAST page at WKTI.COM

http://podcast.wkti.com/WKTIEvents/tabid/931/Default.aspx



The Guys in The Gufs gave me an advance copy of their new CD Different Sea, it will be available October 17th. I really like it. Their 7 year wait was definitely worth the wait. The song has a lot of really optimistic songs that at first listen you like the more you listen to them you're like wow that's a good song, and as you listen to them again and again you think wow this is some really interesting music.


If you can't wait until October 17th here are a couple of songs from their new CD for you to check out on their myspace page.

Hope to see you at their show Friday night.

What's left of me?

Nick Lachey visited the Riverside Theater Friday night.
Bringing his first solo tour to Milwaukee.





Nick seems to have left Jessica behind to the delight of many women. Including our KTI Insiders who had a special moment with the Nick Lachey trailer.



KTI Insider Kirsten had a really special moment with Nick's trailer....

During the show it was very hard to contain Kirsten... I had to grab her leg to keep her from jumping from the box seats down onto the stage and attacking Nick....











We couldn't believe that Nick was right there on stage!
(he's the guy on stage behind us)










Nick Lachey performed songs from his new album songs from his days with 98 degrees and the oddest moment of the night was the mini tribute to Led Zeppelin....... Yes I did say Led Zeppelin that's when the guys and dads that had been dragged to the show by their girlfriends and daughters finally recognized a song and stood up to head bang for a few minutes.



But after Ramble on and Whole Lotta love he came back to what he does best.... Touch the souls of the ladies.






Nick touched the soul of our whole group...And I had another fun night with our KTI insiders...
