I don't know if its because I haven't been with DA for that long, or if I'm just not in with the community... but, I have been wondering who this yellow alien named jark is, and why some people are supporting him. I'm guessing he's important to DA. Could someone tell me his story??

Well... she wasn't supposed to be here for another month, but our daughter Teagan Renee was born last week on the 8th!!
Being 6 weeks early, we were both pretty worried... but the labor went smooth (hour and a half), and she came out weighing 5 lbs 6 oz... a very good weight for being over a month premature! She was born Wednesday morning at 3:14 at St. Joseph East Hospital in Lexington, KY. They kept her there for about 5 days, merely for observation and to get her jondis level down. She had no serious problems whatsoever! Very lucky for a preemie. If you want to see her hospital picture, go here, then choose June 8th, and click on Teagan G. The password is gartner.

I've taken a whole lot of pictures since she was born, and have already posted a few on devart, and will proabably put some more up soon.

Yes, I finally graduated college!
:dances:
no school for me... da da da dadaaaa...

Now that I've graduated, I can start working at a real job! Well.. kinda... I'm working at an Italian restaurant now, but only until Kimber graduates. After that.. well, I still don't know what kind of job I'll be getting.

Or baby girl should be arriving in about a month and a half. We've chosen the name Teagan Renee, its a name we could both agree on. Can't wait till she's born!!

Thats all for now.

Man, this is gonna be an awesome year for new albums! A few of my favorite bands are realeasing new CD's later this year:

Tool: I'm really excited about this one! Its been 5 years since "Lateralus", the average timespan between Tool albums. From what I've heard form the band's website [link] this album is gonna be more musically complex and innovative than the last one.. meaning THIS ONE IS GONNA BE FUCKING SWEET!! They havn't said when it'll be coming out, but I'm guessing mid-summer.

Dave Matthews Band: I've always been a big DMB fan, and I can't wait to hear how this one is gonna sound. The band has a new producer, who has done mostly R&B stuff. If you go to the band's new album website [link] there's some video previews of how the album is being made. Looks like they're doing things in a whole new way. Exciting!!

Sigur Ros: My favorite Icelandic band is working on a new album following the indescribably beautiful work "( )" (yep, thats the title). This a fucking awesome band! And I would really reccommend listening to their music! [link] Especially "( )" which is such an emotional journey to listen to.

Weezer: Yeah, its about time they followed up on Maladroit, which was a really great album. They say the album is about 95% done, and should be out in May.

I finally got the wedding pictures up. They're in the scraps gallery if you want to check 'em out.
