If you can't find a friend . . .

SAD MAY

When I was in Valdivia, I saw a film that had a great effect on me. With a little name, but with a very, very great sentence, what justifies the denouement of this film, MAY is the history about a girl (May Dove Canady) with a lazy eye, what prevent May from make friends.

For this reason, she has very few social interactions with people throughout her life. Nevertheless, she has a doll, her only “true friend”, that her mother made in and then gave to May for her birthday. But May can't take her out from its glass box, because “she’s special”.



May knows Adam, a mechanic, by which she feels a strange attraction… she like his hands. In the course of the film, May is meeting new, but, simultaneously, it is discovering that there are totally no perfect people, but only “in parts”.

Finally, and taking little from good from each person, May constructs her own “perfect friend”, with which the main phrase of the film is retaken, phrase that gave it her mother when giving to her to Suzie:

“If you can't find a friend, make one”

May isn’t a typical horror movie that recounts a morbid and bloody history, but sometimes is a dramatic story and a very romantic movie too. The difference is in the mind of May, with a sad childhood; but also in the search of friendships and, perhaps, also of the love.

This film is one of the darkest, saddest, most disturbing movies I have EVER seen.

Goo Goo Dolls: "Slide"

"Slide" by the Goo Goo Dolls is my favorite song write now because it really has the same mood of my life right now. It captures how I feel and represents an escape for me. Sometimes I really have to search hard for happiness in my life and one simple pleasure to me that always makes me happy is a good song that really means something to me. As for its meaning. That's personal. Everyone interprets music and lyrics differently. That's the beauty of being a musician you touch millions of people in millions of different ways. I'm sure the Goo Goo Dolls have no idea how much they save my life sometimes. They really do…

SLIDE
by Goo Goo Dolls

Could you whisper in my ear
The things you want to feel
I'll give you anything
To feel it comin'
Do you wake up on your own
And wonder where you are
You live with all your faults

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide
Yeah we're gonna let it slide

Don't you love the life you killed
The priest is on the phone
Your father hit the wall
Your ma disowned you
Don't suppose I'll ever know
What it means to be a man
Something I can exchange
I'll live around here

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide
Mmmmm slide

And I'll do anything you ever
Dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
Oh May put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh May do you wanna get married
Or run away....Yeah

And I'll do anything you ever
Dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
Oh oh oh May put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh May do you wanna get married
Or run away

I wanna wake up where you are

And I'll do anything you ever
Dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
And I'll do anything you ever
Dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall

Oh Oh Oh slide
(Just slide between the sheets of all the beds you never knew)
Yeah slide
Why don't you slide into my room
Just slide into my room
Oh, we'll run away, run away, run away
