A quarter past midnight.

A quarter past midnight is about the time where your mind starts the tedious process of retaining and sorting through the unbelievably large amount of information we gather in our heads each day. Sadly enough, although the amount of things we think about, gather, sense, and experience in day to day life is so large it’s beyond measure, what we actually retain is nearly minuscule. My aim, in this blog, is to try and capture some of these thoughts and memories that might otherwise be lost to the obnoxiously efficient and rational filtering process of the human brain. Although a Gander of Thoughts is not restricted to any specific purpose, it is not without one either. It is day to day thoughts and experiences that several people at an age and place where change and experience is inevitable. This blog will not only document our growth – but it also will prove to be a unique perspective on our surroundings, society, and even country itself. With that out of the way, who is the man behind this blog?

I’m a 19 year old college student who drinks strong coffee poured over a tall glass cup full of ice every single morning. I’ll drink anything with a bite, preferably 20 proof or more. I’m someone that lives to experience rather than experience to live. I enjoy life to its very fullest, writing about it from time to time. A happy cynic, who joyfully accepts life’s fateful realities. All experiences, both good and bad, are worthwhile because they create the person I am. Good music, good friends, and an interesting story make life worth living. I enjoy going on adventures and finding joy in things that nobody else takes the time to notice.

There’s no biography of me – but through my writings and stories you can piece together an idea of what I am like and what I have seen and maybe even a little of what I have experienced in life.
