everybody needs a Maya

Just finished watching the last half of Sideways, its a good movie very slow paced something you can take in on a lazy afternoon like today. I have seen it earlier and every time I decide to write this post and put it off, well third time is the charm. I am a teetotaler so don't know much about wines and the culture but the movie does a very thorough job of conveying what some of my friends feel when they have wine. But I think most important is the character of Maya and what she represents. Its a friend who will stick up for you, even when the chips are down and encourages you to not give up however bad the circumstances, I think that and the simplicity with which she understand the main character of the movie Miles and relates to what he goes through and how he tries to convey it through his writing is really something special.
I believe and hope everyone in life has their own Maya be it a guy or girl, someone who trusts you and more importantly believes in you no matter what happens. Here's to the Maya's of the world.
