Terrence’s Blog

Well, I’m not really sure, that’s what this blog is about, so I looked up one of those personal survey’s really quick and I’ll answer those questions.

• What is your name?
  Well since this is a bit personal, I’ll refrain from telling you for now.
• Your birth date:
  I’ll give you the year, 1981.
• What color is your hair?
  Brown
• Is it short, medium or long?
  Short
• What color are your eyes?
  Hazel
• How tall are you?
  I’m 5′9″ tall.
• Do you have pets? If so, how many and what kind?
  I don’t have any pets, I live in a rather small apartment and it wouldn’t be good for the dog or my sanity.
• What do you do for school and work?
  I work, I am a computer security expert.
• Any kids? If not, do you want any?
  Nope, I think I do at some point when I feel it’s a stable time.
• What music do you listen to the most?
  Oh gees, all kinds. It’s easier to tell you what music I don’t really care for. I’m not a huge fan of rap or hip-hop, I only like some flavors of jazz. Other than that I’m open.
• Do you like to read? If so…favorite book(s)?

  If I get sun it’s medium, if not it’s not fair, but not medium, sort of in between.
• How often do you really “go out”?
  Well, I am not that fond of going out to bars or clubs, but I do love playing games at friends, or just watching movies and hanging out. Going out to bars is always just so impersonal and you don’t really get to know people.
• Have you ever lost anyone you loved?
  Yes, I’ll leave it at that for now.
• On a scale of 1-5 how organized are you?
  4. Ummm, depends on if it’s work related or clothing and laundry, etc. Work I’m impeccably organized, my clothing situation is a bit more grim. I am not a laundry person, so it’s tends to accumulate on the floor. It’s a trajedy.
• Do you excercise regularly? If so, how often?
  OMG, I just signed up with a personal trainer for a ridiculous amount of money so I’m hoping over the next year to have gotten in great shape. I got about 3 times a week to the gym to workout.
