Hello World!
Hey strangers...
Well, after several hours of putting my mom through shear, unadulterated hell, I finally decided to head for the light at 7:06pm on Wed. June 24th. I thought I'd put up a little fight. Afterall, life in the womb wasn't bad...all the food I wanted, I could sleep in every day and, oh, I had central air.
But now this healthy boy is out and ready to hit the town, so I thought I would officially welcome myself to this crazy world. My name is John Carroll Gardner, but people call me Jack. I'm named after my grandfathers -- John "Jack" Gardner and Carroll Siefert -- both of whom are men among men.
According to reports, I weigh in at 7.9lbs and measure approx. 20 inches. Not too shabby! I'm in peak physical condition and have light brown hair, which came as a surpise to my parents seeing that they are on the darker side. My dad is pretty sure he's the father, though.
Yesterday was my first full day of life on the outside. It was hectic...saw me some boob, met the grandparents and some aunts and uncles, also a few family friends....seem like good people. Looking forward to meeting the rest of the clan over the next few days.
It's Friday now, and I can't wait to head home and check out my new digs in Bay View and meet my puggle. So until then, I wish everyone well, thanks for checking out my blog, and check back often for more quips about my life. In the meantime, enjoy a photo from my youth. Those were the days.
See you soon.
P.S. I want to send my thoughts and prayers to the families of Farrah and Michael. Both were a little nuts, but they'll be missed. I especially liked Michael's early stuff, but after "Bad"...I tuned out. And Farrah should have walked away with Oscar for her riviting performance in Cannonball Run. The on-screen chemistry between her and Burt has gone unmatched. I miss you too Dom Delouise.

Ground Control to Major Tom...
...commencing countdown, engines on."
Based on the angle of the sun, I'm guessing it's around the 18th of June, which means that, hopefully, I'll be bustin' out of here soon. Not much to report. Life has been pretty boring in here as of late. Just give me that "go" sign. I just hope I don't look like this broad!

Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Jonathan Winters' fan, but that doesn't mean I want to share the same features.
By the way, caught the movie Gran Torino the other night. Good movie. Although, I'll take "Every Which Way But Loose" and the just-as-thrilling "Any Which Way But Loose" over that anyday. The Academy should have come calling for Clyde. Tragic. Either way, there's nothing like Eastwood beating up punks. The sound was a little muffled from my vantage point, but that may have just been Clint's normal speaking voice. I'd give you few quotes, but I might lose a few readers in the process.
Anyway, I'll see you soon.
