Well, it is that time of year when all things must come to past, but with renewed hopes for a brighter and more prosperous year to come. I didn’t want to leave you without expressing my thanks and recapping how my 2007 went.

The most notable public event which recently happened was our annual Snowgoose Global Thanksgiving Celebration which was held on November 18th.

All of the annual celebrations are very unique and special in its own way, and this year was no exception.

There were a lot of people (over 500) gathered in one location, on one special day - celebrating peace among each other with music, food, dance and giving thanks.

If you haven’t attended this years celebration and/or would like to see some pictures that were taken that day, we invite you to [ visit our gallery ].

A very memorable family event was the birth of our two newborn baby goats. Born 12/27/2007 we took all the children and grandchildren to assist in the birth and ensuring peace and comfort was afforded by laying down fresh straw. What made this day more special was cutting the umbellicum cord of the two newborns and tying them off with thread. We all warmly welcome them into the New Years.

I would like to take this time and to welcome you into the new year and thank each and every one of you for visiting my website, for your support, and to recognize those that have been gracious enough in taking the time and leaving comments on this blog.

You all mean so much to us and we are forever blessed with your presence in our lives both directly and indirectly.

We wish you all the best from our home to yours, from now and forever!

We have finally finalized a mini-series deal with HBO on the books Rain of Gold, Wild Steps of Heaven, Thirteen Senses, and Burro Genius with Maya Production: Moctesuma Esparza, Producer.

I, Victor Villaseñor, met Moctesuma Esparza in 1972 at USC at the first National Chicano Conference. We were both green behind the ears and full of ourselves. I’d just come in from Alaska where I’d been working and hunting and was still wearing my Alaskan clothing. Professor Juan Gomez introduced us and I told Moctesuma that I was a writer. I was burning all ships like Cortez had done on the shores of Mexico and there was no turning back for me. I was going to kick ass and become a writer as great as Steinbeck, Homer, Cervantes, Tolstoy, Azuela, giving a new cultural voice to the U.S. and the world. He told me he was a film producer, and he’d rather take jobs as a dishwasher, garbage man, anything, before relinquishing that title. He wouldn’t take a job as a film-editor, camera man, or director. He wanted to be the top gun, the man with the brass balls, the money man who opened the doors in the rough and tumble world of Hollywood, and yes, he agreed with me that he, too, wanted to give a new cultural voice through film to the U.S. and the world.

I said, “Man, you’re as crazy-loco, outrageous, and arrogant as I am. Glad to meet you, cabron to cabron!”

He didn’t drink tequila. He didn’t eat ice cream. But I insisted and he had an allergic reaction so severe that his lips got so big that he could have become a porno star.

We shook hands and agreed to work together and make a bunch of films. I met Mocte’s father, a dignified well-known L.A. chef who painted his own garbage cans at home with the colors of the Mexican flag. Mocte met my parents, and my dad and mom immediately took to Mocte and his dad. We each married, had kids, watched them grow and now here we are 35 years later and we are doing it with HBO!

IT’S THE BEST OF ALL POSSIBLE WORLDS!

Moctesuma producing, who not only knows the books, he also knew my parents intimately, and HBO has some of the best writers, actors, and production people in the business! Tell everyone! Keep in touch! We’ll keep you updated! Gracias!
