Terrance's Story
Nah, I think I will pass on attending any class reunions
as I do not want to risk being bullied called phaggot
or being teased or ridiculed for being somewhat academic
(or any semblance to being smart - I was just average) or for liking Love Hangover by Diana Ross a #1 song...
I mean did disco really suck? or does today's cRAPe music suck more when you think about it?
like I was in both elementary and secondary schools. I was so glad
to get to college (more diverse peoples and more mature I found).
I do not want to be potentially harmed or damaged
, physically, mentally than I already am , I get enough of that
from family.
Also, spending over $200 or $300 for a reunion
is not good economical sense considering living on fixed
income of retirement. Shouldn't this cost like $120 or less?
Do they think we are rich? Maybe this reunion is only for
the wealthy

Music appreciation
Mandy - Barry Manilow a #1 song
To apply experience and education to the areas of reliable software development, telecommunications, switching, networks, wireless applications and research. But really, I just enjoy listening to nice variety of music and have
collected about 1000 or more CDs :) Music of various tastes and variety: That is my real love and my best friend over a myriad of insincere friends and family...
I like to think I have a good or excellent ear and can pick a #1 pop song. :)
I especially love hidden gems: songs that were not marketed or album cuts in favor of bigger hits on the album and
given more attention
