So there was one picture I left off yesterday that was sort of a big deal.  Check out the picture that made a 2-page spread in National Geographic.  CRAZY!  That’s my ass!

It’s the April 2008 issue!  THANK YOU SOL!

A text mesage from Hunter:

H: Kyle! I think that you are in National Georgraphic!  Were you wearing khaki shorts when you did the mud pit belly flop?

K:  Brown shorts.  Doo doo brown.

H: Yep, it’s you!  That PR lady did you fine!

K: Holy fucking shit.  Are u kidding me?

H: Yep!  New cover: Africa’s Ragged Edge.  Will bring by tomorrow!

K: How do my tits look?

H: You are hitting the water in the belly flop!  Great ass!

K: I’ll die if it’s really me.  I’m dying already even if it’s not.

H: What other person there was wearing doo doo shorts, has wild black hair, and white white white skin?

K: This is amazing.  And not just ’cause I’m outta my mind right now.

H: Yes, I will drop it off in the morning @ eleven.

K: I love you and yours.  Truly.

H: Always yours!

K: PS – I totally love that you’re reading National Geographic at home on a Saturday night.  This point was not missed by yours truly.

H: I am so coming over.

K: It smells like bacon here.  Don’t ask.

I want to give props to another blogger who did some kick ass pics of the Redneck Games.  Sol Neelman of Portland, Oregon took some killer pictures.  Check him out here.  Here’s a taste:

I wonder if he went back this year??  Heh.

I’ve told you I’ve made some videos before and you’re about to see one.  

This is a story I did last summer at the 2007 Redneck Games.  They happen every summer in Dublin, Georgia and are, in fact, happening this weekend!  I won’t go into detail how it all came about (it’s explained in the video) but check it out.  We ended up getting to compete in events such as the Armpit Serenade, Bobbing for Pigs Feet, and – the ultimate – The Mudpit Belly Flop.  It’s must-see viewing, if I do say so myself.

I’ve souped up the video with cool graphics now that I’ve launched this blog (I have friends who do that sort of thing so THANK YOU Chris and Jason!).  Let me know what you think!  Anyone up for going next year?

It’s true. I can’t say that my parents and creditors are altogether enthused about the decision but it’s time. We all have dreams, right? We’re all innately capable of making them happen, yes? Well shit. This is my time and I’m taking it by the gonads.

For the last 4.5 years I’ve had a really bland job.  It was 9 to 5, uninspiring, and completely slack.  I would roll in at 11am only to shut my office door and nap at 1pm only to then leave at 4pm.  Some days I didn’t even go in and no one missed me.  Seriously.  You’d think this would be some sort of ideal scenario – especially when you’re getting paid a lot of money – but it’s really not.  What does sleeping on the job contribute towards any sense of self-worth?

I woke up from my last nap yesterday and quit.  Done.  There’s no way I could continue to waste myself like that.  I’ve always dreamt of bigger and better and so it’s time to make that happen.  Anyone who’s known me for even a minute knows I have a different calling… so I’m pickin’ up the phone.  I’ve made movies before.  I’ve made websites before.  I’ve always wanted to combine the two into one place and see what happens.  So that’s what I’ve decided to do.

Welcome to kyle.tv!

This site will be a place for me to write, to tell you about the crazy shit me and my friends are always doing, and to show you good videos.  We make a lot.  I also want to know your thoughts and have you challenge us to make videos based on your ideas.  That would be killer fun.  So get involved and let’s start a community where people are doing, talking, and making the things they really want.  Take some risks and we’ll show each other – literally – what we got.

In the meantime, I’m taking the biggest chance of my life.  I believe it’s going to work out for the best.  My mom once told me that the universe conspires to give you what you want, if you just let it.  So I’m waking up from a near 5-year nap and seeing what it has in store for me.

Sign up and stick around.  Let’s see what happens.
