JJ Olsen, Since 1977: Concerts
http://jjolsen2.blogspot.com/2008/12/concerts.html
JJ Olsen, Since 1977. Monday, December 22, 2008. Janelle's post about Christmas music got me thinking about concerts I've been to. The first one was an Amy Grant Concert I went to with my mom in 1989. I was 12, and I didn't know any better. The next concert that I recall attending wouldn't have been until I was about 16 in 1993 or so when I saw the Rolling Stones on the Voodoo Lounge tour. That's my concert history in a nutshell. Im jealous- mom never took ME to see Amy Grant! December 26, 2008 at 4:35 AM.

JJ Olsen, Since 1977: Car Names
http://jjolsen2.blogspot.com/2009/03/car-names.html
JJ Olsen, Since 1977. Sunday, March 29, 2009. Why is it that there are no car names that contain the number "1,000,000"? Ok, I know what you're thinking, the 'Infinity' is even more than a million right? Yes, but I'm talking about model names here, not car company names. So if you own a car company, and your trying to decide what to call your next model, you know what to do, right? Chase has an F-350. you missed that one. It's also a deisel. He had to plow last night(at 4am! March 30, 2009 at 4:28 PM.

JJ Olsen, Since 1977: "Home Alone 5 - Unemployed MBA in AZ"
http://jjolsen2.blogspot.com/2009/05/home-alone-5-unemployed-mba-in-az.html
JJ Olsen, Since 1977. Wednesday, May 20, 2009. Home Alone 5 - Unemployed MBA in AZ". But anyway, on a happier note, I am finished with my MBA. We had two graduation ceremonies last week. On Wednesday we had the President of the United States of America give us a little pep talk in Sun Devil Stadium about how to deal with the 'current economic climate' (which means good luck finding a job! Well, anyway, anyone please feel free to give me suggestions for either jobs, books to read, songs to learn on the pi...

JJ Olsen, Since 1977: 2 months to go!
http://jjolsen2.blogspot.com/2009/03/2-months-to-go.html
JJ Olsen, Since 1977. Sunday, March 15, 2009. 2 months to go! I only have 2 months left until I graduate with my MBA. If you'd have asked me a few years ago if I'd ever get an MBA, I would have laughed at you. My undergrad degree was in Psychology. I also took a lot of classes in Logic and Philosophy, as well as Linguistics. At the time I really had no idea what I'd end doing with a Psychology degree. I worked for about 4 years after college, and as I saw how different companies operated and how incompet...

JJ Olsen, Since 1977: Not Part 2
http://jjolsen2.blogspot.com/2009/02/not-part-2.html
JJ Olsen, Since 1977. Tuesday, February 03, 2009. So, I kind of lost interest in my autobiography. I'll do that later. Right now I just wanted to say how much I like the theme song from the Gummi Bears. Cartoon. It's got a catchy tune, a sing-along chorus, and the real selling point - a key change from Bb to C in the middle of the second verse. Whoever. Wrote that song was a musical genius.

JJ Olsen, Since 1977: Random stuff
http://jjolsen2.blogspot.com/2009/03/random-stuff.html
JJ Olsen, Since 1977. Tuesday, March 24, 2009. I now have only 7 weeks left until graduation. Yikes! And I found out that our commencement speaker will be Barack Obama, so that’s kind of cool. It’s not every day you have a sitting president speak at your graduation. This evening we’re planning on watching Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. Laela and Ivy have been excited about that for several days now. Have I mentioned that I love living in Arizona? March 24, 2009 at 9:09 PM. Who is JJ Olsen?

JJ Olsen, Since 1977: JJ Olsen - The Story
http://jjolsen2.blogspot.com/2009/02/jj-olsen-story.html
JJ Olsen, Since 1977. Monday, February 02, 2009. JJ Olsen - The Story. My Dad was born in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada in 1955. His mom, my grandma, moved from England to marry my grandpa who had been a missionary in England back in about 1950. My dad grew up modestly in Edmonton. His father was a school principal and his mother was a secretary. In about 1980/81, my dad graduated from the University of Alberta Law School, and so naturally we upgraded to a 3-bedroom/3-story townhouse with an unfinished bas...

JJ Olsen, Since 1977: Netflix, Star Wars, etc.
http://jjolsen2.blogspot.com/2009/03/netflix-star-wars-etc.html
JJ Olsen, Since 1977. Monday, March 16, 2009. Netflix, Star Wars, etc. We periodically rent movies from either Blockbuster or iTunes, and recently we decided to try a couple of other alternatives. First we tried 'Redbox.' There's a Redbox dispenser at a gas station nearby, so I went over and looked through the menu. It wasn't much better than iTunes as far as selection, but it was somewhat of a novelty. We rented The Rocker. Starring Dwight from The Office. The first movie we got online was Man on Wire.

JJ Olsen, Since 1977: Random Update from the Last Week of Business School
http://jjolsen2.blogspot.com/2009/05/random-update-from-last-week-of.html
JJ Olsen, Since 1977. Monday, May 04, 2009. Random Update from the Last Week of Business School. Of the other students in my program. It's funny how the stereotypes about MBAs hold true, and the most interesting classmates are of course the ones who don't always fit those stereotypes. I will miss being a student, and I would like to say that I'm going to pursue a PhD, but it's really too soon to say for sure. One more thing. Yesterday Laela (age 5) said something out of the blue, and kind of funny:.

http://jjolsen2.blogspot.com/2009/05/home-alone-day-2.html
JJ Olsen, Since 1977. Thursday, May 21, 2009. Home Alone - Day 2. Today is the second day that I'm alone in AZ. Here's a rundown of some of the things I've been up to:. I took the iMac in to a repair shop to see whether it's a $250 job or a $1150 job. I went to the Business school to do some photocopying. I went to Staples to get some envelopes. I finished up my OPT application. I decided to learn Don't Stop Believing. It's not as easy as it sounds). I killed a cockroach with Raid in the living room.
