All About Me
What can I say??? Originally from Harrisburg, AR. Lived in Northeast Arkansas for most of my life. Started working in radio back in 2000, and it's the best job in the world to me! I'm a huge music fan. Doesn't matter if it's listening to it or playing it, music is what I love!
Favorites:
Music: Country, Rock and Blues are my favorites. I'm a big fan of George Strait, Martina McBride, Dierks Bentley, Reba McEntire, Sugarland, Blake Shelton, Keith Urban and Brad Paisley. (Being a guitar player, I have to say they're two of the best!) Movies: I would have to say that I like Pure Country, Walk The Line, Days of Thunder, Pirates of the Carribean (all 3), Resident Evil (all 3 again!) and any scary movie I can find.
TV: Lost, CSI: Las Vegas, Mythbusters, Iron Chef (I love to cook, and it just cracks me up sometimes.), Throwdown with Bobby Flay, and a show called Ninja Warrior... It's crazy to see how seriously these people take the show! Food: Italian (Lasagna!), Mexican, anything spicy... Things to do: Play guitar, read (Wheel Of Time Series), basketball, volleyball, video games from time to time (Halo, Final Fantasy, Gran Turismo series, Silent Hill), fishing, rock climbing, you name it!
This is the kind of stuff you can't just make up! Seems that country star Tim McGraw now has a comic book to his credit. It's called "FAME: Tim McGraw" and, of course, it's got a sort of Western theme, with lots of musical overtones. It hits store shelves today!
Working as a hostess at a restaurant, someone orders a beverage, you're going to ask to see ID. That's just how it works... Well, imagine that you ask for ID, and the customer hands you YOUR STOLEN DRIVERS LICENSE!!!
That's what happened recently to Brianna Priddy, who works at an Applebees in Colorado! She says that she couldn't believe she would run into the person who had her stolen drivers license, but that she kept her cool, took the order and proceeded to act as naturally as she could until police arrived!

In this day and age, I wonder what is wrong with some people... Seems that a Florida teen got on the school bus and threatened to shoot one of the other students after an argument. The teen allegedly had a loaded pistol and was getting ready to do what he said, when 3 other students tackled and disarmed him. Following that, the students who disarmed their classmate received suspension for their actions. Here's the video from NBC 4 in Florida
I can understand that a loaded weapon in a crowded space can make for a catastrophe. But on the other hand, is it better to knowingly let someone pull the trigger? I think not. I'd love to hear your comments and opinions on this one. Comment below or on the KSSN facebook page, just please remember to keep it clean, okay?
I think it's really great when someone, at the age of 10, knows what they really want to do in life and sets out to meet that goal. A boy named Aidan Billy from Conway was recently in a film that's now part of a worldwide competition coming up March 7-10 in Hollywood, CA! He says that this is part of why he would like to become a film director someday. It's a passion that he has, even on the playground at school with his friends!
Here's the thing. As much as he would love to go for this film festival, he's having a hard time putting together the funds for his plane ticket and stay... That's where I'm hoping you can help! Check out the story below from The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette and see if there's something you can do to help this Conway kid live his dream!
By Hannah Burney Staff Writer CONWAY — While excitedly bouncing around his living room, Aidan Billy related a tale of how his best friend at school had found the master staff that day, which would allow him to control his minions. The subject then quickly changed to how pirates decided it would be more efficient to hide their treasure above ceiling fans because, “Why would you need to dig a hole in the ground when you can look for a big X in the sky?” The 10-year-old Woodrow Cummins Elementary School student said he enjoys setting the stage, giving his friends direction for the roles they will play, then acting out scenes of the multitude of stories in his mind. “It’s kind of like I’m guiding them through a video game,” he said. His dream is to direct his own films when he grows up. “I might act, too, but I want to direct. That’s what I really want to do. I want to make my own movies,” Aidan said. And he’s on the road to make that dream come true. Aidan recently starred in Fire Engine Red, a seven-minute film that won an Audience Choice award, Best Story and first runner-up in the 48-Hour Film Festival in August in Little Rock. The film, dedicated to the Little Rock Fire Department, is a heartwarming story told from the perspective of a little boy’s firetruck that he receives on Christmas morning. Co-directed by Michael Armstrong of Little Rock and Jim Patterson of El Dorado, both first-time directors, the movie was invited to compete against 114 other runner-up films from around the world in early December and won a popular-vote contest to be screened at the 48-Hour Film Project’s Filmapalooza in Hollywood, Calif., to be held March 7-10. Filmmakers from around the world will have the chance to network with each other at the festival and attend screenings and workshops led by industry professionals. Aidan and his mother, Rebecca Billy, are trying to raise funds to make the trip to the festival with other members of the film crew. “We need about $1,000. More would be better,” Rebecca said. “We mainly need money for food and airfare right now. The longer it takes, the more expensive it’s getting, because airfare seems to be steadily increasing here lately.” Aidan said he was excited when he was offered his role as Tommy Shuttles in Fire Engine Red, and he has since performed in a few more independent films. Patterson noted that Aidan’s role was particularly difficult because his character was silent for the majority of the film. “He had one spoken line in the entire movie. The rest of his performance was pure physical acting that was voiced over with narration later,” Patterson said. “That meant he — and the rest of the cast as well — had to convey everything with body language and facial expression. “That’s no easy feat, but when I look at the final product, I couldn’t be any more pleased. They gave us everything we could possibly have hoped for and more. I can still hardly believe how lucky we got in terms of actors, and Aidan was a huge part of that.” Aidan already has some of his own movie-making displayed on YouTube: a stop-motion film he made titled Jango Fett’s Big Surprise. He has several other stories still in the creative stages. “I have a vast mind. It’s like an infinite underworld,” Aidan said when asked how he keeps the details of all his stories straight. His mother has set up a PayPal account to receive donations to fund Aidan’s trip to Hollywood. Those with a PayPal account can make donations to send_me_to_hollywood@yahoo.com. Rebecca said for those who do not have PayPal, they can simply email the account for more information on how to make a direct donation to the family.
