Here, it's all about food and tequila. Just stuff that comes from Mexico that we like.
Poc, my Mexican buddy (was my roommate for a few years) always spelled it Mayo. I wonder if it's regional?
It kinda is regional 
Spanish: Mayo
Portuguese: Maio
In Portuguese, the letters K, W and Y are not used. K was converted mostly into C, W into U or V, depending on the origin of the word and Y into I. The sounds remain the same.... and this all happened a bit before I was born... in 1910, or so...

I'll have my eyes ready to roll back as far as I can for every non-Mexican wearing a stereotypical "Mexican costume". Fuck you.
Oh yeah, CIJS? Yeah, I can say.
I won a $100 bet one year with a coworker who thought Cinco de Mayo is Mexican Independence Day lol

-Teresa Ha! That's a common mistake. Like... every Mexican holiday HAS to be our "version of the fourth of July". Then when we're festive on September 16th, people are confused. Lol

My wife and I got married in Vegas on 9-16. Had no clue what the hell was going on. Little street carnivals all over, plus they were having a gay pride celebration that same week, the parade went right down the street in front of what passed for a chapel. Add an excessive amount of alcohol and mix in the normal Vegas shenanigans, we were delightfully confused and entertained.
Don't ask about the flight home.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

I need to kill you. And if that means digging you up and doing it all over again, so be it.
I don't remember how old I was. I don't remember half the shit you said to me. I don't remember how old you said you were. I don't remember how fucked up you were. I don't know if you could go to jail for this but I'm betting on no.
It doesn't matter. Even if it wasn't a crime, it was inappropriate. You were bad company. You were trouble. You messed me up for years to come. Made me feel all alone with the pain. You were fucked in the head and you passed your warped mindset onto me for a while. You made me fall out with my mother in the scariest event of my life. You showed me all those sick things. And to this day you haunt me. In my thoughts and nightmares. The fallout from the past still confuses me. You put these thoughts and feelings in my head, but I'm not like you. I'm not you.
It's not "all" your fault, but a lot of it is. And I want you to be gone. You've been dead to me since I understood you were bad. And now I want to bury you. Finally put you to rest.
I swore that I would never become you. Because what would have been the point of all that pain, all that time if I became you? I won't be like you. I'll put a bullet through my head before that happens.
In a way I loved you. No matter what it looked like from the outside. And you hurt me in many ways until I was kind of old enough to "know better". And now I'm still cleaning up the mess you made. I'm sick of it. Of your influence on my life. I want to be free from you, if it's the last thing I do.
Goodbye, Y.

You're my favorite person. Sometimes more than others. And we couldn't be more different and more similar at the same time. Wtf?

CIJS,
I've done a couple of math (calculus I) help phone sessions with my co-worker now. He has been surprised that they have turned out so well: he felt that we both communicated very well, and that I was able to effectively explain the details of the quiz problems that he had incorrectly answered.
With that said, tonight's session, which focused on u substitutions, made me appreciate the world of rich, stimulating ideas that calculus opens up. In particular, IMO, regarding u subs, being able to take an integral of a difficult function and transform it (via u substitution) into an integral of an elementary function that can be easily integrated, is just awesome and fascinating.
