My First Week!

April 28th, 2006

So today is Friday, the last day of my first week. This has been so much fun, I can’t wait to come into work on Monday. I have loved working with all the people here and all the other VJs are absolutely great. I know a lot of people give us VJs a hard time a lot but really guys, they are awesome and do their job well. It’s not as easy as it looks, there is a lot that goes into this whole production.

I’m not complaining at all, I’m thrilled to be here! Really I am still so gratetful to be where I am and thanking you all again just seems like the right thing to do. MOD is amazing fun and I’m also learning a lot just from making mistakes, and the best part about it is laughing at yourself. I have made some small edits with some producers and they are pretty funny, corny at times and lots of fun.

There have been hard things to work through. Living here by myself is different for me, I’ve always had a roommate before so now it’s kinda lonely. I say kinda because everyone has been so nice and welcoming here in Toronto. I always lived close to Toronto so I’m semi familiar with the city, but I want to thank everyone who has come down to MuchMusic or stopped me on the street to say hi or congratulations. It’s meant a lot to me and really helps me settle in here, you guys rock! And not just the people in Toronto, but the ones that read and comment on my blogs, and definitely all the ones that voted me here - wow.

Soooooo I also wanted to tell you guys about yet another band, Rides Again. They are the band I had play at my concert I held as a pep rally/fund raiser. They are amazing and I would love for you guys to listen to them and tell me what you think, and if you have one song of theirs that you like the most. Their web site is ridesagainmusic.com or purevolume.com or myspace.com, so let me know what you think, and leave a comment on their sites. They would love to hear from you guys.

So thanks again everyone, you are all amazing and remember: like what you want to like, be who you want to be, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, because not everyone is going to like you. At the end of the day all you have is yourself, so be true to yourself. Don’t love this band just because I’m asking you to check them out, like them if you like them. I’m just trying to bring new music to your attention, if you like it awesome! Cuz these guys are amazing people as well as musicians. I leave it all up to you!

  10. Heyy Tim!

    so, yeah, Im posting for the third time, but this time im after seeing you on MOD! You were so great, but you kind of have to avoid stumbling so much, just some constructive critisizim. But I really think that you should of had more time on air.. No offence to matt but when hes alone on MOD hes kind of boring. But hes still one of my favorite VJs.

    anyways, I checked out all of the websites you wanted us to. I love that song freefall too! Its amazing. Well I dont want to make this too long, so g2g. byee

I hope you won’t get too lonely in your new apartment! lol get a roommate or something, haha, and speaking of roommates, your old roommate looked bit like you! Except kind of like the blond version, lol! Just had to point that out :)

  38. hey tim!!!! omg im so happy u won vj seriously u r like one of the bst vjs. i votedd like so many times for u to win and u r so cool and u rok!!! if u get to read this email me at dani_rock93@hotmail.com, plz i hope to see an email from u and anyways u r doing great on MOD.!!! so congrats!!! and keep up the good work.

    i <3 u . daniela

  39. I think it is funny when someone writes you, they read other peoples comments and they make them in to theirs… Like, I wrote about you write some people back… Then to day I come on line and see another girl kinda saying the same thing… I can see that I a lot of people will love to get a email from you…

    I can so understand why they want to… Your a great guy… Your getting better and better everytime you are on MOD… Yeah, your not on long, but you do a great job… I wounder if the other VJ’s want to hear from the fans… They are all doing such great job, and I don’t even know if they hear it from their fans… Why just pick one VJ’s to like… I like them all…

    Well I am here to Say… All the VJ’s at Much Music, You all are doing a great job… Keep up the great job… One day I will make it to T.O and be so glad to see everyone of yours…
