Yeah so I like these cliche titles. They make me feel like my blog is some kind of movie where people actually watch it to the end and wonder how the hell do people get paid to write this corny material....
But this post is about of Bayside H.S. (seen in pic). Ok not really but it's more about my old English Teacher from Bayside. I actually called her, b/c she was one of the
Anyway, after I called her she was so excited to hear from me, she took me, moms dukes, and pops out to dinner (on her dime) at a nice Italian joint. My sister woulda came but she was acting up....ok, nah she was busy, but for yall who know her know there is some truth in jest.
Again, anway, so this teacher over the course of dinner really made me realize how lucky I was growing up to have the upbringing that I did (clearly God's work). And it made me think about all the other young males who don't have the same opportunities and what is my role is changing that.....hence my next several posts.
P.S. Vince, Chris....I heard my english teacher say "maya copa" so it is a real phrase...therefore you all are stupid

Ray,
You may be getting paid 3 times more than me, HOWEVER, I will FOREVER be schooling you the ways of the civilized elite. The expression is not "maya copa" . . . You ignorant fool. It is a latin phrase, and it is pronounced "mea culpa."
The phrase translates into English as "my fault", or "my own fault". In order to emphasize the message, the adjective "maxima" may be inserted, resulting in "mea maxima culpa," which would translate as "my most [grievous] fault."
Thank you,

hey,
this will likely seem strange, a stranger reading and commenting on your blog but you ARE googlable *shrugs*. I found your blog while searching for a quote I thought went something like "Maya copa, my child, maya copa" as spoken by the perv of a bishop character in V for Vendetta. As your learned friend *smiles at his degree* pointed out its actually 'mea culpa'. It is used in a traditional prayer in the Roman Catholic Church. Ugh, there is such a contrast between the 'God is in the rain' moments and the vile character of Bishop Lilliman. Loving the movie too much, I have of course started to speak about it to someone I'm not even sure has seen it, sorry. Anyhoo, thought you might want to know. So have you watched it? if so, what'd you think?

I'm kinda like Katie, in the sense that I also googled "maya copa" in hopes of finding out what it meant. But I'm also like Mike, who went to Wikipedia and found the answer. However, unlike Mike, whoever he is, I don't think copying something verbatim from Wikipedia makes one the professor of anything - except maybe plagiarism since he didn't cite his source.
