Fresh Start

"Term used to describe anyone with enough time or narcissism to document every tedious bit of minutia filling their uneventful lives"
urbandictionary on "blogging"
Heck, I have the time.

I do not believe that I would belong to that classification of people known "technical," but the things that my life has become revolved around happen to be some of the world's most methodological subjects and objects: Mathematical Logic, Object-Oriented programming, Cryptography, and so forth. Therefore, I wouldn't deem this blog, which is representing me, justice without consisting of some form of technicality. In consequence, the basic body of this blog will consist of short written discourses answering some prompts particular to that day (I get randomly generated prompts from various sources), or some just random media: pictures, videos, music, and other knickknacks. I do not believe in leaving a couple of sentences behind to describe a subject, neither will I twaddle my way through this log.

Like how I'm writing this in such a lecture-mannered type of way?
Ha, It won't be as boring in the future. You can count on that :]

So a little about myself.
I LOVE swimming; I have epic dreams where I'm this crazy Olympian that dethrones Phelps. hehe

Music; can't really categorize what I like to listen to, so I'll just list a few artists and genres. The Fray, Jack Johnson, Regina Spektor, definitely some classical, Jason Mraz, John Mayer, and a few international songs. Although I can tolerate a few hip-hop songs, In general I hate them.

I am an unfortunate breed of Taiwanese and Korean. I can speak and read Mandarin, but I only can understand very limited Korean. Although, culturally, I'm more Chinese oriented, I favor my Korean side.

It's a shame to say, but technology is my life. From the Shimura-Takayama conjecture describing how modular functions are elliptic curves to the latest trick in exploiting a computer network, but surprisingly, even as a big nerd, I don't play games.

After quitting the trumpet, I've discovered better things like the guitar. When I have more time, I'll try to start with the piano again.

Well, that's pretty much it for today.
Also, I'll describe one particular aspect of my life like I have described several already every short essay post I make.

Blogging is actually turning out interesting...Let's see what this page has in store for the future!

Francis Chang, out.
