I've still got you to be my sandy shore.

About Me

I am a beautiful animal!I am a destroyer of nations!I am Tim Olson!

My Interests

Generally, I tend to be pretty anti-general. I drum, sing, and act when school's on. When it's off, I sleep. I own a kickin' white suitcoat and pants. I love fun and laughter. Laughter, whether I cause it or do it myself, makes my day X times better. Can you dig it?

I'd like to meet:



This will change your life.

Music:

I like every kind of music at one point or another (minus country). I'm proud to say I've got an open mind there

Movies:

Hard to say... I haven't seen many, but it doesn't take much for me to like a movie.

Television:

Although I don't watch TV much, I dig 24, Prison Break, Numb3rs and Grey's Anatomy. That's about it.

Books:

Currently reading:
This Is Your Brain On Music by Daniel J. Levitin
Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell

Heroes:

Natalie Beatrice Olson, my baby niece.

Would the Last Honest Reporter Please Turn On the Lights?

Here's an article by Orson Scott Card, a Democrat, about how twisted the news media has become. You owe it to yourself to read this stuff, and educate yourself. The media no longer educates you, it ...

A little joy in life

I can't be quite as lucky as most of you people in one aspect of everyday life -- I don't get to sleep in on Saturdays. My main shift at the radio station is 7am to noon on Saturday.  This means ...

Farewell, summer vacation. We barely knew thee.

But it was a good one. Really, one of the best I've had.  Not that you, as a reader, are terribly concerned with my summer.  So I won't droll on and on about that.  Here's me hoping tha...
