Introductory Whatnots

Ah, here I go, jumping off the dock into the ocean of information, technology, and porn–I suppose–that is the Internet! I actually considered starting out my first blog post like so as a joke:

We’re all human beings. We’re all connected together, connected by an intricate thread of life. My goal with this blog is to connect with others and make a global community of leaders, activists, and dedicated workers. Together, we’ll make the world a better place. We’ll promote peace and end world hunger. With all of my readers, this will be possible. We’re all one. Life is a sine wave.

However, I was afraid that I would immediately turn away and repulse all of my prospective readers; that would have been terrible to say the least!

How rude of me though, I never introduced myself. My name is Spencer, and I’m new to the blogging community. I actually just turned sixteen yesterday. Getting the blog and domain set up was part of a birthday present from a friend of mine. As you may be able to tell, I am quite fond of maths, hence the name of the blog, The Sine Wave; however, that does not mean that I will be writing about maths. Nono, that is not the case at all. I will be writing about a wide variety of things that strike me as interesting, be it religious and political ramblings, music, food, gaming, computers/technology, or whatever life seems to be throwing at me at the time. Additionally, I’ll use this blog to update the status of my projects and share them. As for today’s discourse, I’ll talk about the upcoming summer and some projects of mine.

If you look off to your right, you’ll see a page entitled Projects. Please, do click there to see what I’ve got going on. My main project for right now is a website that teaches beginner Japanese (writing, grammar, speaking, etc.). If you’ve ever been interested in learning about Japanese, take a peek. I’ve only got one lesson up right now, but check back often; I’m working on adding new pages, lessons, and exercises every day and week. The things that I believe will distinguish this website from many others are the number of thorough exercises, quizzes, and examples that I’m providing. I would love feedback and suggestions for as to what direction I should take the project in. Also, in the near future, expect to see other projects spring up involving music, among other things.

I do plan on watching the World Cup...

As for my summer plans, I don’t have any major plans set in stone. Perhaps I’ll go on a few short day trips, but that is it. In order to avoid boredom, I’ve partway written a list of 100 goals and things that I have to do by the end of summer. Of course, I’ll be blogging about my various adventures in cooking, exploring, learning, and whatever else I happen to do. I’ll elaborate on my list in a page called “Summer Plans” under the pages section on the right.

I’ll close this up with one last thing. To my prospective readers: if you choose to read this blog frequently, I thank you very much. I promise to always find something interesting or helpful to write about. Have a great summer (or winter I suppose, if you’re Australian), and I hope that you stick around here and make yourself at home!

Peace!
