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 Moonlight Feels Right - Starbuck a #3 song Life TERRANCE CURRY OBJECTIVE: Like To Get To Know You - Spanky and Our Gang youtube.com/watch?v=XWXVgDewwdI --> youtube/currter 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 You Put Me In A Trance - Nu Shooz Take The Short Way Home - Dionne Warwick LANGUAGES/SOFTWARE: C, C++, HTML, JAVA, SDL, UML, Logiscope, TTCN/ITEX, Perl, Visual Basic, ATM, Modula-2, Ada, Pascal, Fortran, Lisp/Scheme, VAX 11 Assembly, ksh, csh, awk, yacc, gnu C/C++ compiler - gcc, Greenhills C/C++ compiler, Visual C++ compiler, gdb, ddd, sdb, adb, cdb, dbx, debugger (SUN solaris), MULTI visual debugger, ECMS, sablime, Clearcase, Clearmake, make, nmake, etc. INVESTIGATING: learning Tcl/Tk and VHDL as they relate with SDL and Continuus.
