Kashmir

I don't know why I haven't posted this story earlier. This has got to be one of the top 5 experiences in my life...no wait...that's not right....Top 3!
November 5th 2004. Jenn and I are at Baptist hospital waiting on the arrival of Xander Gulledge. It didn't take long at all for her to deliver once we got going, but that's not the point of the story. Anyway. I have this cingular cell phone and I can assign different ringtones to different caller groups. So I can tell who's calling just by the ringtone. Kewl. My parents and Inlaws are "Freebird". Cause we've left the nest. Work is the "imperial march" theme from star wars. My friends is the main title theme of Star Wars. But my main hommies...my inner circle...my boys. Well only the best. "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin. Only the best band in the entire galaxy....even the one's that are Far...Far Away. If you're familiar with Kashmir (and if you're not then I suggest that you make yourself familiar) then you know the signature Jimmy Page guitar riff that goes to the song. The guitar riff is what plays on my phone when one of them calls....dun.dun.dun....dun.dun.dun....dun.dun.dun.
So the doctor comes in with her team. Everybody's working I'm on Jenn's right side holding her hand and waiting to get my first glance at Xander. He's crowning! And just as he starts to push through I hear...."dun.dun.dun....dun.dun.dun....dun.dun.dun." One of the nurses looks up at me and asks "Is that Led Zeppelin?" and with a tear in my eye I say "Yesssss!" I just let it ring. It was soooo cool to watch Xander make his entrance to the world with Kashmir playing in the background. Man...it was awesome. Jenn doesnt' share my enthusiasm, but then again we don't share the same love for Led Zeppelin either. (or as she likes to call them "The Led Zeppelin") There is no "The" in "Led Zeppellin".
Anyway, I can't wait till Xander and I can just kick back to some Led Zeppelin and talk about whatever. He can literally say he's been a Zeppelin fan since birth.

I agree with cole! I'm sure Jenn was not very enthused at all...hmm spell check??? It would've been really cool to name him Xander Zepplin Gulledge??? lol
