That's my song

There have been a lot of important songs in my life. Songs that have made me think about a special person, songs that have reminded me of some events in my life, songs that have had the property of changing my mood.

Now, I want to tell you about Blind Melon’s song “NO RAIN”.  Today, it is not as meaningful as it was in the past for me, but when I listen to it, I clearly remember a difficult stage in my life. I was about 19 or 20, I was depressed, I used to read a lot,  I was always sleepy, I had no boyfriend and I thought I would never have one because I thought nobody understood me. I used to complain about everything and everyone. When I listened to the song for the first time, I also saw the video and the girl searching for a group to fit in, really, really identified me.  Later, I translated the lyrics and it was like….. Hey “this is my song”;  it was as if they wrote the song thinking about me! (180)

Memories

This photograph was taken by my stepfather in February 1992 on a Greek Island. The old 

man on the left was my grandfather. He and I went to visit my mom on summer vacation 

(although it was winter in Greece). I like this photograph because it brings me a lot of 

good memories about my grandfather and because it shows one of his most outstanding 

personal traits; he was a laid-back person and he enjoyed life. The other men in the 

photo are Greek inhabitants from Andros Island who were in a local tavern. My 

grandfather didn’t speak any Greek language but he used to enjoy eating and drinking 

with friends so I’m sure he managed to communicate anyway. Since he liked telling 

anecdotes, I’m sure he made a huge effort to spend an evening as if he were in Chile and 

I’m sure he gave my stepfather a lot of work as a translator.

Films

I’m not very sure if I like a specific type of film but I’m sure I don’t like horror films because I get scared!!! Ha, ha, It’s a shame but it’s true!.  

I enjoy watching films and there was a time in my life when I used to watch around 5 or 6 films a week ( I had a lot of free time then). Now, this is impossible!.  I remember that I was a Kusturica, Almodovar, and Tarantino fan. I liked them because their films were creative and provocative.

My favorite actor is Nicolas Cage. I think his performance as an alcoholic Hollywood writer in “Leaving Las Vegas” was great. In my opinion, although he is a good actor, sometimes he  doesn't choose good stories. 

There was a character that really inspired me. He was “Tanguito” in the Argentinian film “Tango Feroz”. I admire his free spirit and I love the story.

The last film I watched was “The Wolf of Wall Street”. I think DiCaprio’s performance is worth watching but It’s not one of those films you think everybody should watch.(188)
