Tim thinks MuchMusic could stand to hire a VJ who has a little "edge". He's not sure yet if becoming a rock star is his ultimate goal in life - but so far he's got some of the tools required. He loves music, style, and plays in a band. Oh, and he's not above taking his shirt off for the ladies. Check out Tim's audition tape - and swoon as you read his Q&A!

I'm Back

Tim

THANK YOU soooo much Canada!! One more shot at becoming your VJ!

I'm so grateful to be back and it's all thanks to you and your hard work at voting. Your support has totally blown me away. You have faith in me and that means a lot. I enjoyed my time off visiting with family and friends, I took in a couple of concerts, but I have also missed being in the action and I'm ready to get back to it! So it was great to get voted back. I was amazed at how much the fans screamed when I walked through the door last night. Wow guys, that's all I can say. It was unbelievable! Sorry I couldn't stay longer after the show to talk to everyone, not my choice, I'm your number one fan though. Honestly you guys rock! I can't explain how I felt when I found out I was the wildcard and now the last 24 hours have been crazy, so sorry my blog is late.

I do want to thank everyone who has come up to me in public too and said hi or that they want me to win, it's people like you that help keep me going.

Monday's show was a lot of fun to shoot. It had a more relaxed feel to it, it was cool talking to Dina and interacting with the live audience. The challenge didn't even feel like a challenge but more of a fun thing to do as a group...kinda like the game we played at MOD with the sign boards. And I'm not even too sure if my buzzer was working all the time haha...it was good though, Sean cleaned up on that...although, it did seem a little like those questions were aimed at him...Pussycat Dolls, Spice Girls, Cher lol, and I'm not ashamed that I wasn't as fast at the buzzer for those ones. But honestly...Pamela Anderson, Paris Hilton, Elisha Cuthbert...who cares haha anyways I had a great time and it was a lot of fun.

Everyone keeps asking if I read the comments left for me after every episode. I do! The good and the bad. Canada, your support is overwhelming. And I'm sorry I can't respond to everyone. It's really hard, there were like 700 comments for one week...you're keeping me busy, but I just wanted to let you know I have read it all and it really does mean a lot for you to take the time to do that.

I would also like to invite everyone reading this to come out to a party/concert I'm having in Oshawa where I grew up. It will be held on Wednesday, April 5, 2006 at Le Skratch, and I will be there to talk, to say hi, take pics, and whatever else we feel like doing. Rides Again will also be playing live at 7:00. Doors open at 6:30. It's an all-ages event, no charge, but we will be accepting donations for the Oshawa women's shelter. Hope you guys are in for a great show, the band is awesome, they just played at the Opera House in Toronto Saturday nite. So feel free to come up and talk to them, they are friendly guys. I'm really excited for this guys, and I hope you are too.

I'm so grateful for all the support Canada has shown me this far and I hope that you guys will continue to back me up. I have a lot of work to do so I'll keep this short but I'll be back soon to post again. Talk to you guys soon! Don't forget, keep voting!
