Oh Honest Abe...

The true rule, in determining to embrace, or reject any thing, is not whether it have any evil in it; but whether it have more of evil, than of good. There are few things wholly evil, or wholly good. 

And with that I wish you all a good night.

My Summer with Grandpa

As I begin to finish up my freshman year of High School, I realize how fast my life has gone, and how much more I have left to do throughout my life. Above all, I have kept intact the dreams and goals I aspire to accomplish. How I will get there depends on what experiences I will face from this day forward, and how I can greatly impact the lives of others. As summer begins to creep, I have not decided what I hope accomplish while on my three month break, and how I will use my time productively and efficiently. Most importantly, I plan my spend so much time with my grandfather who is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and knows how to make summers the best time in the world! He is a man of great passion, who inspires me to excel in everything I do, while keeping in mind the people who helped me get to were I am today. It hurts to know that has to go through a proccess like cancer which takes away the great experiences in life. I do know however, That he will cherish every moment he has on this planet with his family, and will continue being 'Dr. Grampa.' To make the summer even more enjoyable, I hope we begin building a tree house in the backyard, where I have always dreamed of building one. Knowing him, I believe he will be up to the task because of a promise he gave me since I was a little boy. Even if we do not build a tree house, I will settle for a trip to the movies, which I call my weekly weekend trip. Above all, I hope to take a weekend trip with him somewhere this year where I can learn the history of his life from Vietnam to Brooklyn and from Spain to what we call home. So as I get ready for this long summer ahead of me, I am planning to have the most fun in my life for the benefit of me, and my Papa.

HAPPY TUESDAY.

P.S. I LOVE YOU MOM

So in  beginning by blog, I'd like to saying welcome to my life, my feelings, my views, and myself. To introduce myself, I am Aundré Bumgardner, a young man that aspires to do great things in life to better the planet for the good of all living kind. As corny as it may seem, this is who am I, and I hope you will see that as you read my blogs from this day forward. For the jist of things, I hope to create a couple features for my blog. First, every Tuesday, I plan to put a picture of something that moves my brain as this does; that can be both funny, moving, and have a message deeper than meaning. Secondly, every Thursday, I plan to write a short piece on whats on my mind, weather it is what feelings I may have at the moment. Thirdly, On Saturdays, I plan to write about an experience I have had in my life that affected and changed who I am today; whether it is a childhood memory, or a time period that took a negative impact on myself. Fourthly, I will write a short write up of my week, and whats in store for the next! And last but not least, I plan to have freestyle Mondays, where I will babble on about something that pertains to political issues in the world. Throughout all of this, I may have a Yankees Wednesday were I talk about my beloved New York Yankees and have days, were I simply want to talk about an experience I may have had on that particular day. So in all, I am quite excited about starting a blog, and I hope I will continue, and begin sharing with all of you about my life!
