It’s official.  Chris is NOW looking for a New Backup Singer for the band, preferably another woman to join them as it is an all girl fronted band.  If you know of anyone who is serious and is good, please refer them to the bands website so that either Chris can contact them or they can contact Chris.  Don’t forget the band is based out of San Francisco so make sure to keep that important factor in mind. 

 

With that said, this weeks new song is called “Famous”

The Day After Christmas

 

Hey Everyone, I hope you all had a great Christmas and you received everything that you wanted or at least close to everything. 

 

As for those of you who called me up disappointed because you did not find waiting by your Christmas tree your one true love, your soul-mate hoping to fall madly in love this Christmas; there’s always New Years. Besides, I’m told that it always happens when you least expect it and with the one you least expect; so Do Not Give Up The Hope, you will find that special someone.  Perhaps all it takes is for you to open your eyes and look past the superficial and see how beautiful he or she truly is inside with all there imperfections, weakness and strengths; you never know … you may be pleasantly surprised that he or she has been by your side or right in front of you all this time.   

 

Ya Know …. one of these day’s I’m going to call in my retainers for all these therapy sessions and you are all going to be in the poor house LOL.  You guys are the best, thanks for being around and sharing in my life.

 

As always, it's a wrap people, Catch Up With Me If  You Can.

Latest News On FINDING STELLA

 

For those of you who are keeping up with the Band via this space or the bands web site www.findingstella.com.  It appears that it is true.  The band sadly will be short one talented musician Shoshannah Beck.

 

Shoshannah will be performing one last time with the Band in Australia in January 2008 whereby she will stay behind to pursue her new endeavors as the remaining Band Members make there way back home to the States.

 

I feel it’s appropriate to say that the Fans here in the States will miss her dearly. For those of you who have had the pleasure to have seen her perform with the band, I would say you have been fortunate.  Please continue to show your support for the Band,  after all they will still be a Kick Arse Band to be reckoned with.

 

Best of  Luck to Shosh!

 

To the Band Members: Chris, Tim, Vic, Rich & Louis you remain a strong and talented band so keep doing what you do so well; Rock The House down.

 

With that said, back to playing the remaining songs from the band.

 

The next song to be played is called "In The Hall" enjoy.

Nombres Inolvidables (Unforgetable Names)

 

En el dia de hoy, mas que nunca, quiero encontrarme, conmigo mismo, buscar en lo mas profundo de mi alma y mi corazón, sin dejar pasar por mi memoria, los nombres y apellidos de los mas sincero amigas y amigos, que han pasado por cada una de las paginas escritas de mi vida.

 

Los nombres que se hallan lejos de mi vida, que estuvieron y no se donde se encuentran, de los que tengo cerca, que están allí, cada vez que los necesito;

Los de mi niñez, adolescencia y madures;

Los que ya no veo con frecuencia y los que veo dia a dia, cuando amanece el Sol;

Los que siempre llevo en mi mente, y a los que en mi pensamiento muchas veces, no se me vienen;

Los que han estado en los mementos difíciles y a los que siempre comparten conmigo una sonrisa;

Los que por causa ajena ofendí y herí, y a los que tal vez, me hicieron brotar lagrimas en mi rostro;

Con los que aprendí grandes lecciones, y con los que ojala les haya dejado algo de mí.

 

Anhelo, que pasen a hacer parte de mi alma siempre,

Los nombres y apellidos de mis amigos y amigas, para que queden marcados en mi existencia, aquellos nombres, que ya no están y se encuentran, más halla de la línea horizontal, de la vida,

Los cuales, los llevo en cada una de mis oraciones, y los nombres que se estacionaron, solo por una estación en mi vida y tomaron su rumbo; aquellos nombres que todavía no conozco, pero seguro marcaran pauta en mi vida, y mi nombre en la de ellos.

 

Le doy gracias aquellos amigas y amigos, que han estado cuando estoy triste y me siento sola, que con tan solo una palabra, te dan aliento del bueno, que cuando uno se quiere distanciar, ellos están ahí, para hacerte compañía, dando siempre una sonrisa y prestando su hombro, para ser muletas, que muchas veces uno necesita.

 

Porque definitivamente la amistad es el Casamiento del alma, que va mas allá de un momento grato, la amistad, es el sentir de lo que padece la otra persona, una verdadera amistad no tiene tiempo, edad, color, sexo, ni cualquier barrera, la esencia de la amistad, es el apoyo incondicional, pase lo que pase, aceptando los defectos y realzando las virtudes de cada ser humano.

 

En este momento de reflexión, quiero que se convierta, cada espina, en un jardín de rosas blancas, cada lágrima en miles de sonrisas y abrazos fraternales, cada tiniebla, en luminosas estrellas, que floten en el universo y que de cada sufrimiento, nazca un sentimiento de felicidad.

 

Mil gracias por encontrarse, o por haber estado en mi vida, gracias a cada uno de ustedes, por dejarme estar o haber estado, en cada una de sus historias, deseo de toda mi alma que me hayan llevado, que me lleven y que siempre este en el tiempo y en el espacio que me necesiten, porque acá estoy, he estado y estaré hasta que dios me lo permita.

 

Agradecida a la vida, por cada uno de esos nombres, que marcaron pauta en las líneas de mi vida y los que tal vez marcaran lo que falte de ella, ya que, de cada nombre he aprendido, aprendo y aprenderé.  Ese es el ciclo de una parte de la vida.

 

Hacer una Amiga o Amigo es una García

Tener una Amiga o Amigo es un Don

Conservar una Amiga o Amigo es una Virtud

Ser tu Amiga es un Honor

 

Gracias por tu amistad!

 

As always, it's a wrap people, Catch Up With Me If  You Can.

My Baby Niece's First Words

 

It’s an amazing thing when a baby’s words and way of greeting you can erase an entire bad day you had, making it all seem so trivial and put a smile of happiness back on your face and heart as my 11 month old baby niece Leena did for me last night.

 

As I entered my home . . .  in the middle of the living room . . .  in her play pen occupied with her dolls was my baby niece who for the most part was unaware of my presence until my Labs came running to greet me by the door.  At that moment when she realized I was home she jumped up with such excitement, a big smile on her face and her arms extended out and said "Titi” twice for the first time …. Mind you that she still has not said mommy or daddy …….  So of course, I melted.  I grabbed her out of the play pen kissed her all up and hugged her tight as she laid her little head on my shoulder and little arms wrapped around my neck happy to see me.  At that moment everything felt right and good, nothing else mattered.  I spent the rest of the evening playing with her and finally gave her a bottle and laid her to sleep.

 

Later that same evening when everything was quiet, I started to think and wonder how great it would be if most of US could learn from that and act towards each other in the same manner as my baby niece did.

 

To be able to come home to your wife, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend or partner who greets you with a sincere smile of happiness and say ….. Hi Babe, Hi Honey, Hi Sweetie….. hugging and holding you tight as if you were gone for way too long, missing you, kissing you …..  and in that moment relieve the pressures, stresses and craziness from the day to day routine of life prior to you having to attend to your obligations for the evening. 

 

What a wonderful and beautiful thought.

 

Thank you Baby Girl for reminding me of the simple beautiful things.

 

Love

Giving FINDING STELLA A Temporary Break

 

This week I will be giving you a temporary break in the followings of “Finding Stella” & auto playing of there music. I don’t want you to get bored with the band so I will be playing some different style music just to switch up a little. 

 

Don’t worry; you can still listen to every single one of “Finding Stella” songs by clicking on the songs to the left under the windows media player.  I will be auto-playing there music again shortly so make sure to check back.

Another thing; Finding Stella seems to be synonymous with Chris Snyder due to her credit and musical talent and also because Chris is mentioned first as the lead singer to the Band.  Yet just as talented and supportive are the band members consisting of Rich, Shoshannah & Louis who bring with them there own sense of style, personality and musical influences.    Now if you noticed ….  Yes ….  There are two more band members that I have yet to mention and I have left them for last.  After reading a few articles about the band, I feel that these two individuals Victoria Ovieda: Rhythm Guitar & Percussion of the Band & Tim Christmon: Drummer, deserve a Special Recognition & Thank You.  Victoria “Vic” & Tim seem to be the two that have been with Chris the longest and from what I’m being told by other friends in the music industry; that kind of loyalty, support and belief in each other especially in the music world seems to be hard to find and even more so as an independent band.  So Again; A Very Special Thank You to Victoria & Tim for making the band that much stronger. 

With that said and before we take the temporary break, I have a little bit of interesting info which also had me curious and that is; Where did the name of the band “Finding Stella” come from?  According to an article I read on the band, the name was inspired by Victoria, at a time when she unfortunately lost her pet hamster Stella and whose name “Stella” also means “shining star”.  So there you have it, the origin of the name and band “Finding Stella”.

 

As always, it's a wrap people, Catch Up With Me If  You Can.

Holiday's & Up Coming Gig For The Band

 
Well Hello There!
 
Long time no talk, how the hell is everyone doing?!  Time is flying so fast; can you believe that soon it will be Christmas! Can't wait to see the new Christmas pic's of my niece & nephew "the vidal twins" back in florida. 
 
So is it getting crazy by you guys & girls or what, It is here in the desert.  Unfortunately here, it's not really looking much like the Christmas holiday but the shopping frenzie with it's lack of patience and some tad bit short tempers is a definite reminder that we are in the holiday season / mode, so stay safe everyone.
 
Okay, it's time once again to switch out the bands song.  This weeks song is a sassy one, sung by Chris called "Good Girl".  Enjoy.
 
By The Way! Chris & The Band will be performing this Friday Dec 7th at their home turf in San Franisco so check out there website to see how it all went. 
 
Have Fun & Best of luck on Friday to Victoria, Tim, Shosh, Rich, Chris & Louis.

Touching Base

I have to say some of you are definitely giving me a run for my money as the saying goes or you just want to see how long I will last before I crash and burn with this new website project of mine.  At the same time the e-mails of your smart arse remarks; off the wall suggestions and just being yourself, have me laughing so hard that my stomach hurts and I have all of you to thank for that.  Keep it coming, it's highly missed, YOU are highly missed. 
 
With that said, and in trying to cater to some of your better suggestions/request to hear a song that Shoshannah Beck sings, It's time to switch the bands song this week to "In My Bed". 
 
Past song's that have already been played are: "I would"; "Everytime"

If Only I'd Changed Myself First

Last night I came across this piece which I kept and put away awhile ago.
Even now, In reading it again, despite what was going on at the moment, it made me stop and think about the many things in life and how our day to day routine sometime's doesn't allow us that quietness of reflection or that little bit of happines that we all seek.  In endng .... I had a cool aide smile on my face as I came to appreciate once again, all the beautiful things that are in my life which is all of  YOU. 
 
 I hope you like this as well.
  
When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world:
As I grew older and wiser I realized the world would not change.
And I decided to shorten my sights somewhat and change only my country.  But it too seemed immovable.
As I entered my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I sought to change only my family, those closest to me, but alas they would have none of it.
And now here I lie on my deathbed and realize herein (perhaps for the frist time) that if only I'd change myself first, then by example
I may have influenced my family and with their encouragement and support
I may have bettered my country, and who knows,
I may have changed the world.

Part 2 - FINDING STELLA

 
Time to Touch Base with Everyone Again,
 
I want to say "Thank You" and "You are the best" to those who so far have had the opportunity to step up, listen to the bands music and leave such supportive comments about  them.  I knew that you  would, yet it's great to actually see it.   Your excitement in there music is mutual.  They have an amazing talent.   In light of all the nice things that are being said about the band and your show of support ....  I would like to make one point clear.  Most of you know how I am when it comes to giving what I can of myself to help someone or in this case "Finding Stella".   However, for the very few who may not know me in that respect, and may be misunderstanding the million dollar question that everyone seems to be commenting about in the guestbookl "When is Finding Stella going to Florida / East Coast"?, please do not assume that I have changed careers and gone into the promotion business which is completely NOT the case with "Finding Stella".    I have become a supportive friend who loves there music, believes in them and wants to see them make it and succeed in the music world, offering what little help that I can, be it through this webpage, word of mouth and more exposure to all of you who are in the East Coast.    So, only Chris Snyder and the Band can answer that.  All I can say is ... Everthing In It's Time. 
 
Chris Snyder who is not only the lead singer of  "Finding Stella" is now also responsible for every aspect of the Management of the band, from booking, touring, and perhaps even the financial obligations along with everything else that comes with getting a band out in the public.  
 
In the Meantime, continue your support to them by checking back to their website www.findingstella.com.  You just never know when they will be able to make it and put on an awesome musical show for the East Coast.
 
As for my continued support.  I will have a new song of there's playing each week and this week's new song is "Everytime". 
 
For those of you who want to listen to a more softer song, check out: "I would";  "True Hearts";  "Paid" or  "In My Bed".  I believe that Shoshannah Beck takes the lead on these song's, but don't be fooled, Shoshannah is just as sexy and powerful in the vocal's.
 
As always, It's a wrap people ..... Take Care,
Ang
 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

First Things First,
 
To my Family & Friends:
I give thanks for those that have been by my side when I was sad and lonely; who have given a shoulder to cry or lean on unconditionally; who with just a kind word was enough to give me the strength to continue and even with the distance you still remain near through the phone calls and the the e-mails.  For all those who have left there mark in the pages of my life through laughter, kindness, goodness and compassion and for those special people yet to come into my life.  You are in my thoughts always and I am ever so grateful and fortunate. 

                                                 I wish you a HAPPY THANKSGIVING
 
   Love,

A SPECIAL Intro to FINDING STELLA - Calling In the Favors

 
Tonight's Entry is a Special One.

I want to take this opportunity to introduce a very special band called "FINDING STELLA".   I was introduced to there music by a  good friend of mine who knows the band members.  A special thank you on my part goes out to Chris Snyder the lead singer for two reasons: One for which she already knows why, and Two for allowing me the opportunity to put this together as a small token of my support for the band. 

I promise you will like them also... and if you don't believe me ....  here is what the press is saying about them ,  verbatium ..........

"Finding Stella entered the San Francisco music scene in early 2000 and quickly established themselves as one of the best original acts in the Bay Area! Their music intergrates the classic rock and pop spirit of the 70s and 80s with a newer, warmer rock quality that has been drawing new audiences from along the West coast and beyond.  Singer/songwriter Chris Snyder along with Shoshannah Beck, Tim Christmon, Rich Flynn, Victoria Ovieda and Louis Stein attribute many different influences and styles to their music; smoothly jumping from classic rock to pop to funk - creating a rich rock sound.  The power of vocalist Snyder quickly fills the senses of the discerning music lover."

There you have it, it's not just me that thinks they are awesome.

So here is where I call in the Favor. 

Please give the band a shot, listen to their new release albumn called "FAMOUS" by clicking on one of the song's in my  list above, and check out their website which is www.findingstella.com add comments in my GUESTBOOK to show your support, and / or what you think about the band in general. 

Last & Most Important Remember; all rights are reserved by "Finding Stella" so PLEASE respect the band's copyright of music as well as the pictures that were taken of them by their Professional Photographer Merici Trujillo.

Well Everyone; it's a wrap ... Catch up with me when you can,

 Take Care Wink

Kicking Media Players Butt! Yea

Before anything I have to mention that things happen for a reason.   Earlier today, I wrote that I was having major problems with loading the Media Play to play music and up until now frustration was settling in and I was getting no where.   Well, I decided to call the best person I knew could help me ... my baby brothe JoJo ... yup same guy with the red and white eyes in the pic's.    With the tremendous help he gave, we kicked butt, were successful, and it's just in time for you to listen to some really good music.   Thank You Baby Bro, Love You and You are the MAN.    NOW... IT'S TIME TO CALL IN THE FAVORS.

Bunch of Clowns They Are

Okay, so as you can see, we have a bunch of clowns on this site, beginning with family and ending with friends ....  It's great.  That is what makes life enjoyable.  Thank you guys & girls.  As for my baby brother saying I have a 50 year old pic of him, it's only because that's how old he is feeling, even though he is still wet behind the ear's in his early twenties.  I tell you, youngster's, got to love them.
 
As you can see, still no media player and its driving me crazy...it's really giving me problems or maybe I'm just burning out which is possible.  You know me, I don't give up that easy, so I will.... get that darn media player to play music and wait until you hear what music is coming your way, your going to love it, trust me, and if you don't love it then you better pretend, because you love me and you need to cater to my dillusions LOL....Wow, I wonder where I get that sense of humor or is it sarcasim.  Okay, so maybe I'm not that funny, be nice LOL. 
 
For now that's all she wrote, it's a wrap people.
 
Catch up with me in a few; I will be adding more to this entry shortly.
 
 Oh Yeah, Cool Aide Smile Right At You,

Keep the Love Coming

WOW, The feedback on this is fantastic.  THANK YOU SO SO MUCH.  I'm glad that so far everyone is really liking this page. It's turning out to be everything that I have expected little by little.  All of you are awesome and I love you for that. 
 
Okay, so it's time to get back to some of you on your questions. 
 
First, I will start with DONNA.  My wonderful, inner strength "beautiful looking" Cousin Donna;  and yes you are beautiful, and If I have to keep telling you that for you to belive it, I will.   YES, you were the first to sign my guest book and it was great. Despite what dear cousin Donna said about NOT having a life and always being on the computer, well the truth is I believe her to still be living in Wedding Blizz with her princess charming of a husband Scott and actually living a good and happy life, besided that I'M always the one on the computer NOT her, so there you have it.
 
My Dear Friend Joshie baby.  I will hopefully be coming down to Florida to see you sooner than you think, and I too miss those exciting boheiman nights, but you have to maintain that good boy fasad because I won't be coming to save you this time, I will be coming to have fun, get it, got it, good Open-mouthed
 
And for the mystery person with "no name" who signed my guest book and was inquiring on the beautiful vidal twins. That would be who I call, my strength, my confidant without a second thought, the sister I never had, and the wonderful mother to those same beatutiful twins; My Cousin Tara.    I miss you dearly coz.  As for wanting to see more of my professional pic's, that will be coming with time as well.  I'm starting to put my portfolio together and once that is done it will be easier to transfer over to the site.  Right now I'm trying to set the foundation for this site, clean it up a bit and then eventually get everything to come together.  You know me coz .... I usually have more than one project going on at any given time which ends up taking a little longer then normal to complete.  Besides ...  how else will I keep you coming back to the site to see what's new Wink  
 
Take Care,  Miss Ya,  Love Ya with a Big Hug & A Cool Aide Smile

Well Hello There

Hopefully some of you have had a chance to take a look at this site and are liking the way its coming alone.  For those of you who have not had the chance, where are you and what are you doing;  you are depriving me of your wonderful attention (feel the love)  Open-mouthed.   Okay, enough of the smart A-- remarks so back to what is still in the works.
 
Since I'm still trying to fine tune this and get this closer to what I envision,  I'm continuing to add and revamp things.  My next challenge is trying to figure out how to get the music player on and get it to work.  That way... when you check back to the web site I will have some nicey nicey music playing in the background while you browse and critique my insanity Smile  Opps I mean my creativeness. 
 
Next:  If you haven't already noticed ... there is a GUEST BOOK for everyone to use and check out.  Please feel free to sign in and add comments, thoughts, quotes whatever your heart desires.  For those charming, special, uniqure friends and family of mine that love to excite and spice things up a little,  please keep it within reason.   Eventually I hope to allow everyone access to this section called the "Blog" for posting instead of putting it on the GUEST BOOK which is another thing I will be working on.
 
Okay people, It's a wrap
 
Take Care,  Miss Ya,  Love Ya with a Big Hug & A Cool Aide Smile

Work In Progress "What Possessed Me!"

Okay... for those of you who are asking the same question that I did AFTER the fact! What possessed me to start a web page / myspace if you will ?!
 
Well ... I have to be honest I had a temporary brain lapse, due to this Arizona heat and some boredom of this place as well.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it, unless you have a better one.Tongue out
 
Designing and working my way around this new fad has not been as easy as it may have seemed,  but none the less it has been Fun & A challenge. As you can see... it's still a work in progress.    So far  I'm pretty happy with how it's coming along.   However, please do offer some suggestions (if you Dare LOL)  there is ALWAYS room for improvement.  My goal in designing this page is for all of us and not just for me.  I want this to be something that both family and close / intimate friends can share in and keep growing.  To have fun, Enjoy the fond memories and basically ... keep in touch.     
 
Unfortunately distance and the routines of  life have a way of drifting people apart ...  and so this will be one way of everyone being able to catch up with each other.
 
Wow .... its getting late over hear and I have to get my beauty sleep so its a wrap people.
 
Take Care,  Miss You All & Sending you a Big Tight Hug with that Cool Aide Smile of Mine
