Dear Rocinante,
Thank you for this information.....actually, this person is a seminarian in Colombia who will be accepted into a seminary in the states. Naturally, we will be wanting him to stay here to serve the Hispanic people in our state. Is this still such an impossibility?

CatGirl says on Feb 12, 20:00:

Roc!! Very good artwork....;)

houstongal says on Feb 13, 19:35:

CatGirl says on Feb 13, 20:06:

Roc: One of my fathers favorite hero was Zoro...When I was a little kitten, I watched Zoro movies when ever they were on TV (with my dad)
;) Is he your favorite too?..

They say you can tell a lot about a person by who they admired as a hero when they were a child.

MS: CG, I admired the Bionic Woman and Charlie's Angels.... hmmm... wonder what that means....

Hehehehe....well, they were all career women - out to save people - correct? Any other similarites? You admired them when you were a little girl? They also all had a connection with one man..a powerful man, correct. Shoot I dunno I must have missed that class in Psych 101.

Psst Hi Roc..Happy Valentines. uh, you dont respond. Got a pulse? Do you need CPR? ... MS! HG! get me a crash cart Stat!

houstongal says on Feb 15, 06:39:

I still prefer yesterday's Zorro. Still think some of these are a little effeminate. Must be the decoration on the hat that's making me think that.

OK...I promise to view the videos, but I have to grab a bite to eat first.

While I like this avatar, it's really dark when it's shrunk down. About the only thing you can see is the moon.

CatGirl says on Feb 16, 14:12:

Roc: Wow! Really like the artist. I love the guitar. Now look what you went and made me do! I am going to have to go out and buy the CD..jajaja

CatGirl says on Feb 16, 14:19:

HG:...Roc? Correct me if I'm off the mark here, but the song "Pretty When You Cry" -
lyrics are pretty deep and realistic about complicated people.
Deep can get disturbing .... maybe the reason for the video production.

rocinante says on Feb 16, 14:38:

CG get the first one first: http://www.amazon.com/Visual-Audio-Sensory-Theater-VAST/dp/B0000062QH/...

They only played a few times in NYC. I saw them 8 years ago. Now they are mostly on the west coast - in your neck of the woods. On the first album everything was done by one guy - Jon Crosby - every instrument, production etc...

rocinante says on Feb 16, 14:44:

De nuevo:

Te he estado buscando
Oí un llanto dentro de mi alma
Nunca he tenido un anhelo como este antes
Saber que caminas a través de mi puerta

Un regalo sagrado del cielo
Para bien o para mal, no importa donde
Y nunca dejaría que alguien te deprima
Hasta hacerte Llorar ... nunca

Todo el tiempo siempre lo he sabido
Que estabas ahí sobre tu trono
Una reina solitaria sin su rey
Te he anhelado, mi amor por siempre

Toda mi vida ¿Dónde has estado?
Me pregunto si alguna vez te volveré a ver
Y si ese día llega
Sé que podríamos ganar
Me pregunto si alguna vez te volveré a ver

Love the instrumentation of the musc. Tatoo of Your Name has traces of Johnny Cash.

Yes CG, the lyrics were what caught my attention. The visuals are eye candy.

CatGirl says on Feb 16, 15:43:

Well, Roc - I find it much better to listen to a song before watching the video so I can get a better idea of what the song means to me. Sometimes video can give you a different view or take on the song, but sometimes it can ruin it too. I write and pick a bit on my own guitar, so I can be partial to songs that make you think and good guitar (acoustic) - no different than Artwork..its all art..;). The vibration created when a guitar string is hit, is life...in reality..if we like it or not, break us all down - we are simply just a bunch of vibrating molecules.
Ok gotta stop jaja I am getting too far out there jajaja.
Ok - Im back. Feet on the ground.

rocinante says on Feb 16, 15:49:

Como dijo GS "Don't Bogart that joint"

Most of the videos have nothing to do with the song and are not created by the band. Just private people putting the music to images - but those can be distracting.

OK I gotta go. My vibrating molecules are bouncing me to the kitchen.

CatGirl says on Feb 16, 15:55:

Roc: Thanks for the tip on the best CD to get first. I'll check your link. Were does he play in my neck of the woods? Broadway (SFO)?. I just moved and I have a local musician I wanted to give you info about...I think you'd like him. If he keeps it up, he will be big. He breaks his strings when he plays he's so passionate. jaja. But moving can make it hard to find everything! I'm getting there.

houstongal says on Feb 16, 18:00:

There is no video, read the lyrics while listening - is it all sexual?...

well hell yeah....and in a forum like this, one could infer that it's a question of a personal nature being asked. ;-)

rocinante says on Feb 16, 18:41:

I think there may be something more under the surface. I see a double entendre between a grave/death and the sexually obvious. Who knows? Maybe he just had a real bitch as an ex girlfriend. That's probably it.

Ooohhhhh....a very dancer-like and fluid Zorro. :-)

houstongal says on Feb 19, 10:29:

Very much in contrast to yesterday's Zorro.

Hey GS....are these more "manly" images more to your liking?

goin_south says on Feb 19, 11:52:

well.. I always had 'respect' for my old childhood hero: ZORRO!
... I could say, it's coming back today.

Well this is different.....

CatGirl says on Feb 26, 22:01:

Roci - I must say, although not Zorro - it is my favorite Avatar by far. Would look good framed on the wall..Artists name?

msaucey says on Feb 29, 21:11:

Roci.. It's been a while, so I finally come back and every other thread is started by that troll that is going to drive me crazy.... I see he's driving you crazy.... Between you and me, we're in trouble this weekend... Mods are on vacation, I think the majority of them are.... so, we'll be seeing this troll post like there is no tomorrow all weekend..... ARGH!

goin_south says on May 7, 16:44:

"" it looks like laundry is finally getting done at your place? Just kidding congrats!""

jja.. thanx, Roci! and, many other good things are happening. Challenging, no doubt,... but mostly fun and 'the whole being greater than the sum of the parts'... is true, so far.. very good. Hopefully, one day or night in the not-so-distant future, I can sit down and write about so many positives in this transition, and only a few pot-holes. :-))

OK until Peter gets rid of the edit function I am going to switch videos and music above. I consolidated the original vids/music into one post and got rid of a vid or two that no one commented on - no big deal. When the edit feature is locked so will be the music above and I will have to create new posts in this thread.

I listen to a lot of stuff - different stuff. Recently I've been in a mellow mood so the vids by Gianluca and Juan Fernando. Plus I saw Juan Fernando last month.

All music is 100% Grade A USDA inspected and subject to change without notice.

Aha! Editing your profile huh? So contrary for a man who prides himself on never editing!

Por que estas triste con frecuencia? (sorry, I can't figure out how to make accent marks with my laptop....Alt-132, etc. only works when I'm docked to a keyboard) Life is too short for sadness.

Are you planning on adding other music that you like to listen to when you're in a different mood? Such as when you're happy and energetic, angry and pissed off, sleepy......

CatGirl says on May 9, 07:19:

Well Roci - since you are in this kind of mood (thinking outside the box) let me know if you are OK with the pic I posted on your profile...if not, I will be happy to change for you ;)))

rocinante says on May 9, 16:23:

Sorry Catgirl but with the new website features I am going to have to flag your avatar - for having the biggest cat on the planet. There is a person behind that cat, yes? Or is that a kid dressed as a cat on Halloween?

Editing profile comments is insignificant as the posts in the profile should not contain anything of importance - kinda like my usual comments.
