Transition Confusion…?

January 31, 2008

Howdy!

Okay this past week has been confuzzling for each of us. I don’t understand why. I guess it’s a lack of communication or…? I get 1-2 comments a day now. CLEAR sign I can’t keep this blog.

I still get 100-150 hits a day. Obvious sign people still come here.

So… what’s going on? I didn’t know I had to write a new post about this. How ridiculous! Anyways…

All members of the staff have been picked. The ONLY thing left to do is get Fyll to answer my EDITOR’S COMMENT, which I issued two days ago! This is horrible communication.

AHFT will never get off the ground like this.

I’m going to go ahead and take care of the picture, Fyll. I don’t care if you care but I can’t keep waiting a week for my readers to answer me.

For Heaven’s sake, it took Jason over a week to answer my comment.

I’m sorry. I’m just so damn frustrated.

Once I get this picture taken care of and add some final touches on the site, I will be releasing it. We have to meet on the chat so I can send you the password via private chat.

We have to.

Otherwise, I’m giving it all up and I’ll be working on AHFT by myself, except of course TyBoy000.

This will all take place tomorrow. I’m kind of tired and I have a 2 hour delay tomorrow. On top of that, we’re expecting freezing rain, ice, and 2-3” of snow… which, as you know, might mean no school.

I hope you got all this. I’m done waiting on you.

Have a nice night…

Good News & Bad News Time

January 24, 2008

Howdy!

*UPDATE* All right, Jason has not been answering, so we’re just gonna go ahead and launch this baby. Here’s what I need from you Fyll, log on to Club Penguin in what you normally wear. Sit down in the Cove life-chair and make sure no one else is around. Take the screenshot and save it as a .PNG. Do NOT crop it. Leave it as is and comment with the link. Tomorrow, hopefully, will be the official launch of… AHFT²!

Yes I haven’t been posting in awhile. I’ve been working so hard on AHFT² I forgot all about this blog. I am, for the most part, done now.

Except for one thing. An AHFT² Staff.

I need my friends to help me pursue Alex’s House of French Toast. I decided to pick the obvious candidates to work for AHFT².

TyBoy000, if there’s anyone I want by my side it wouldn’t be you. Bathe once in awhile. Okay, just poking fun. I want you to help me run this site with me as my left-hand man. 

Jason, if there’s anything our great friendship needs is for me to reward you for sticking by me. I want you to work on AHFT² as well.

Stephen, I’ve seen you grow up and act out as an individual. I definitely want you to work on AHFT² after all the great examples you set. As a penguin, or as a person.

Cpd Officer, our friendship has been more of a roller coaster than The Beast at Kings Island. Through it all though, I don’t want you to be part of the AHFT² staff. Maybe in time I’ll build up a trust with you. Don’t take it personally.

Fylliper, I know giving up your Club Penguin blog might’ve been hard, but I know you did the right thing. I am so proud of you man. Our friendship hit a rough patch, but most good friendships do, right? I realized without you, this site would be drastically changed, even if you did say you had no need for this blog.

I want/need you to work for AHFT².

As of now, you guys can just sit back and relax. I will make Penguin Pages honoring certain friends later that I want you to help me with, but you have no worries right now.

All of the staff members will become owners on the chat. Cpd, I’ll still keep you as a moderator. I need to give each of you the Piczo’s password via the private chat mode so we have to meet there and only there. Got it?

This means you must visit the site as often as you did this one. At the least, every other day. To help you with meeting up with me now and furtherafter, here’s my Internet schedule.

(All times Eastern Standard Time.)

Sunday | 12:00PM — 12:00AM
Monday | 3PM — 4PM & 8PM — 10PM
Tuesday | 3PM — 5PM & 8PM — 10PM
Wednesday |  3PM — 4PM & 8PM — 10PM
Thursday |  3PM — 4PM & 8PM — 10PM
Friday |  3PM — 5PM & 8PM — 12AM
Saturday |  12:00PM — 12:00AM

If you don’t want to be apart of Alex’s House of French Toast, say so and I’ll remove you. Once everyone has commented, I’ll update this post with directions on what to do next.

Bad news time.

I didn’t get the required number of participants for my “contest” as I wanted. As a result, I won’t be doing the contest. I don’t want a pathetic number of 4 or 5 of my best friends only submitting pictures.

Sadly as it may sound, I want to be optimistic about it and look at the good things. I will be able to enjoy myself on Club Penguin more without having to juggle Piczo and WordPress.

I also get to dedicate my full time towards AHFT² now. And I also be able to rid myself of WordPress once and for all. I’m much less upset about leaving this blog now then I was last week.

Once everything is finally taken care of with AHFT², I’ll make the last AHFTB post ever. Do remember, I’m not actually deleting the blog. Too many memories just to throw away.

It was after all, over a year of my life.

See ya’ tomorrow!

P.S. Notice how this post is under all 5 categories.

You see that. I hope you’re happy.

In 2¾ days, I get 3 people wanting to join the contest. 3 people?!

It’s great a few of my friends are on board, but for this to be a real contest and for me to put in REAL effort I need everyone’s support. I know there are more than 5 or 6 readers here. So speak up!

Current Standings
Yes: 4 | No: 2

Beginnings are scary. Endings are usually sad, but it’s the middle that counts the most. It’s you that counts the most. I need you guys.

I’ve picked my judge partners…

Jason, and Stephen.

I would’ve chosen you TyBoy000 but you said you loved editing. I hope you have fun with this contest (if it ever happens).

By Monday I need at least 6 promised participants and hopefully more will jump in as it starts. On a lighter note, I’ll be closing AHFT tomorrow for a whole *NEW* layout courtesy of 8stoplight8.

I’ll be giving some people a sneak-peek if we can meet on the AHFT chat soon. The “Test Page” was made public but there’s only 4 people I’ll be giving the password to. Cpd, Jason, TyBoy000, and Stephen.

I promise you it’ll be awesome. The layout will be so cool, even Piczo haters *cough* … Dana 7977 … *cough* will love it.

See ya’ tomorrow! … maybe …

Gotta love I Can Haz Cheezburger….

Heh, you thought I was gone for good. How could you get rid of ME! Cppd Officer! That easily! Oh boy…

~*~ sarcasm on / sarcasm off ~*~

No seriously, though, it wasn’t a joke to begin with. I wanted to get rid of this site because it seemed like the perfect time to end it. But, I couldn’t. Wanted to, but couldn’t.

So what’s to become of AHFTB? Simply this.

UPGRADE, BE-OTCH!

Every blog has it’s theme. This site’s new theme, through heavy brainstorming, I decided to make it a Club Penguin Contest site.

What kind of contest you ask?

Just by using Google it doesn’t take long to find CP Contests over the web. Penguin Oscar Awards, Club Penguin’s Next Top Model, etcetera.

So what’s left for me to pick from? A group of my old friends made a “Best Pictures & Edits Contest” on their site. It ended after only one season. So, for them and you guys, that’s what I plan to do…

Transform this whole site for that contest. Once I find a theme that supports sub pages, but works for the contest, I will post on the contest details. I need sub pages to put all the current pages in because after 4 or 5 seasons — depending on how successful this contest becomes — I’ll add them back in.

So to answer your question: no, I’m not quitting WordPress.
Yes, this blog will change. Yes, it all depends on YOU!

You, dude, you.

I’ve learned that the best approach for this site is to make it up as it goes. That’s how all good ideas come together, right?

On the topic of Club Penguin, I’ve got my membership renewed for one more month. That’s it. Then I’m done with CP membership. I plan to enjoy Club Penguin as much as I can for the next month.

I planned for a quiet month to enjoy myself on Club Penguin. But this contest will be as easy and simple as possible to make that happen.

Please comment if you plan to participate so I know if this’ll be a good idea. Like I said, it’s up to you guys.

See ya’ tomorrow! … maybe …

P.S. I’m in debt to Club Penguin! No!

Happy Blogoversary From AHFT!

January 14, 2008

Howdy!

 Happy Blogoversary!

We did it. We accomplished a goal. WE are AWESOME.

One year on WordPress! That’s incredible! So many great things happened this past year– yet it all happened so fast.

Many of you are upset that this blog is closing soon. And yes, it is hard to find a REAL blog owned by a kid these days. But it’s also hard for me to sustain this blog.

Before, what held this blog afloat was exciting things that happened in my life; which was usually every day. Since school started, however, all I could do was improvise; thus, giving you advice and arguing some crucial points in Club Penguin & all of the Internet world.

Now I have nothing else to help you with. School will be another 4½ months. What else is there left to talk about besides my sports career.

Which even that’ll be hard considering track and field hasn’t started yet. Swimming isn’t that all exciting either.

Leaving only ONE option to keep this blog alive… and you guessed it… *ahem* a Club Penguin blog. Having a Club Penguin looks and sounds like a lot of fun. I have a lot of creativity to put to use and make a wonderful CP blog. I can invision it now…

It all seems so easy and gleeful… but you need to think about the long-run and not just instant gratification. It’ll just make it harder to quit Club Penguin and I’m going into high school soon and I don’t wanna play a childish game like that when I’m in high school!

I’m 13 for God’s sake! If I was a few years younger I would consider making a CP blog. Heavily. But it’s far too late now.

So that means there’s nothing to save this blog. Now don’t get sad– I’m not leaving. This blog was just a branch of AHFT which will continue to grow and change just as this blog did.

The blog will close… is all that will happen.

Two things you should know: one, I’m not giving it away & two, I’m not deleting it. You can still watch the funny videos and use my Guitar Hero page. You can advertise your site, you can chat with your pals.

I must ask you one question first… should comments be (closed/kept in moderation/open). If they’re closed nothing will happen. If they’re kept in moderation then I’ll moderate all comments until Jan. 31st. If they’re open anyone can comment, although I will have to improve the filters.

As for my CP membership goes I’ll post on that later this week. I’ve really enjoyed myself in the U.K. a lot recently.

That’s about it for me. All-in-all it was a good year.

I would like to take the time to thank some people though, that were the REAL reason this blog made it to 365 days.

Wrapping Up and Packing Up

January 11, 2008

Howdy!

*UPDATE!* Just minutes after posting, I noticed that we’ve reached 60,000+ hits! I was afraid we wouldn’t make it… it took from August to January to get only 12,000 hits, but that’s how you get real hits done right. To reward you all, I called my friend Nick. He makes Rock Band videos, and I asked if he wanted to play “Welcome Home” via online play.

He said “No”; he already recorded a video for that song.

Here it be…

We now return you to your regularly scheduled program…

With this blog closing, I’ve been working hard on improving AHFT since that is where you’ll contact me afterwards.

I made a lotta updates to the site. For example, the pages now have a neat– wait! Did I say pages? Why yes I did, thanks for noticing. Everyone was asking for pages and I thought it was dumb since the homepage was kinda laid out like separate pages.

But I came up with a few more ideas and turned them into pages. I also developed a new “News System” that’ll make informing you of site updates easier on everyone.

In completely unrelated news; I added 2 new videos to finalize the collection. Go watch ‘em now.

Although, I hate speaking of ending this and ending that. How about some bright news in Club Penguin for a change?

Even though a lot of you are pissed off that the real Superhero Mask didn’t come back because you didn’t really care about the play, just being considered rare.

I’ve learned a lot over the week. North Pole is only going to change when it’s members and nonmembers change.

And that’ll happen in exactly…

Lemme get my watch…

Never.

So where to go? Just like in reality America has become overcorrupt. Instead of following America’s good influences, Canada is sinking even faster than America. Which leaves the U.K. and Australia. Two countries I admire greatly.

In reality, of course. Australia is officially the only server that’s not a round-the-clock destroyed server. Nevertheless, it’s kinda boring. I’d visit the actual country, besides the you know; poisonous spiders and extremely hot weather.

Which leaves England. I really wanna move there when I’m married. But that’s the future. How ’bout now.

Frozen… gone for good. But I prefer Deep Freeze. I’m going to remove quite a few buddies that never filled their obligation as “friends”; so, I can make space for some new friends in the U.K.

Deep Freeze Making Sense?

Temporary? Maybe. If I ever get homesick. I’ll be able to get access to North Pole once I’m a member again. Which sadly, hasn’t happened.

It will eventually, though.

See ya’ tomorrow!

P.S. This is amusing; a lot people left hate-speech on the last post, but no one backed up what they said with proof. Since I actually HAD proof, I figure I’m right, yes?

Conflict-Clearification-Summarization

January 6, 2008

Howdy!

You know me for, umm… “speaking out” about issues I find and the people involved with them. Since (for me) January is the month of reflection, I’d like to look back at all the people and the conflicts they caused and how they affected me.

Where to start…

Ah, Graser 10! Ol’ pal of mine.  Lets see. I’ve known you and talked to since you first joined the Internet fiasco.  We were friends. Good friends, to say the least. We got along and had fun on Club Penguin and on our blogs. Then it started to happen.

With my CPPD blog, I made a neat little tagline for it. “Stopping crime, one fool at a time!”. Now, soon after, what was your site’s tagline? “The news guy, one post at a time!” This is just a small, unimportant thing isn’t it? That’s what I thought.

But we resolved it after I finally coaxed hime to change it. And everything was fine. Up until summer. Holagurrl25’s Pixel Penguin business was doing so well, I thought’d be a fun way to get hits and give my readers something to do. I had one of the best non-homemade P.P. businesses around.

Why? I made each little detail PERFECT.

I had a very organized catalog and clean ordering system. That is of course, what Graser 10 thought. He copied the page almost word-for-word without asking. Obviously P.P. isn’t mine, but I knew just by looking at his page he copied me. Since I was an admin on his site I went ahead and gave myself credit since he wouldn’t do it himself.

He kept taking the credit off until I and some other people convinced him to give me credit. He did, in the most egotistic way. So after all that happened everything was cool again. Graser 10 and I were friends and there was no problem. At least, for awhile.

I soon realized what amount of MY LIFE was being wasted continuously posting the news every Friday. But I still wanted to have a Club Penguin blog. So I came up with a cool “Homepage” idea, which was essentially just a post laying out the rest of the site.

Then came Graser 10. I guess he liked the idea too, because without asking and without consenthe copied the “Homepage” post almost word-for-word, changing things to match his site. After threats to report him to WordPress, he got rid of it.

At this point, I’m a just a little bit pissed off.

That’s about the point where our “friendship” dwindled. The real deal was when I was inclined by myself and Dunya13 to end my Club Penguin blog for good. I did, and it felt great. I changed the title from “Cppd Officer’s House of French Toast” to “Alex’s House of French Toast” and it was a fresh start for me.

Then Graser 10 started criticizing ME for changing my site. And that’s when his true colors were shown. I knew he would always be obsessed with this simple childish game. He would never grow up. Ever since we met he was always grumbling for one thing: popularity. To be crowded by hords of strangers on a video game. Pa-thetic.

Then, of course, he copied my Piczo and now he’s the dipshit he is today. I was hoping none of his worthlessness would rub off on Graser3 but I guess it did. Which is disappointing ’cause I thought he was a nice guy.

Song best fit for Graser 10, “The Enemy” by Godsmack

• • • • • • • • • 

Who’da thought I would lose another friend over my beliefs? One of my best friends, Cpd Officer. Now, Cpd is an overall nice guy. He never actually did anything to hurt me. It’s how blinded he is.

I think anyone who looks for romance over a penguin game designed for little kids is desperate.

But it all came down to Bluzzzy. I use to be in the center of the “Cpd & Bluzzzy” clique. I knew them both well and I didn’t care they were “dating”– it did eat at my though. It ate at me enough to say…

“Fuck ‘em.”

I couldn’t end a friendship with someone I’ve known since November ‘06 that easily however. But it kept coming back to slap me in the face. I couldn’t help it.

Well, today, I don’t hate Cpd. I hate Bluzzzy. Not because she is an online relationship or being a jackass to people. It’s because she “ruined North Pole, the greatest server in the game”. I bring this up all the time, and only a handful of people listen.

North Pole is the most popular server in Canada. I don’t know why it was never like the other popular servers. It was never overcrowded. There were no hackers. There were no spammers or harassers. It was quiet yet energetic.

That’s not how you’ll find North Pole anymore though. Thanks to Bluzzzy and Cpd it IS crowded. And with crowds come problems. These crowds have ruined this server. I have pictures if you ever want proof. And if you’re a nonmember, don’t ever dream of getting into N.P.

The only way N.P. will get returned to its calm self is if Bluzzzy
(and her flock of sheep, including Cpd) leave and go to another problem server. But they never will. They rather dance in the Town — doing nothing; accomplishing nothing; doing no hard work whatsoever — because it’s just easier for them.

And North Pole will always be crowded and divided by those who hate Bluzzzy, and those who worship Bluzzzy. Damn, bummer.

• • • • • • • • • 

So in short, I’ve learned one thing from these two conflicts. People want power. They’ll do anything for it. Ignore their friends, treat the people around them like dirt.

And once they have power they become detached from the real world and forget about those who once cared for them. Pity.

See ya’ tommorow!

First Jerk of the New Year

January 3, 2008

Howdy!

You know how Graser 10 is a lying, self-centered, egotistic, shit-talking, back-stabbin’, maniacal geek? It obviously runs in the family.

I tried to comment on Graser3’s site recently under a post called “Penguin Times issue # 115″ asking why does he post the newspaper? I mean surely we’re not stupid enough to not notice the big NEW sign in front of the newspaper signaling (duh, much) a new issue.

He deleted it. Then I just made a quick comment “Jerk.” because he knew I was right. He knew I actually made sense.

What is the point of telling us the new newspaper is out? It’s just a waste of your time and big fat “YOU’RE STUPID!” to all of your readers.

And since of course he’s related to the queen of losers (Graser 10) he edited my comment. It might of been G10, it might of been him.

Edited Comment

The funny thing is, no Club Penguin blog is better than AHFTB because of one simple detail; I’m not wasting my time, and you are.

But that’s what happens when you try to reason with an idiot.

See ya’ tommorow!

AHFT Welcomes in 2008 (Don’t Be Shy)

January 1, 2008

Howdy!

  Happy New Year!

I hope you had TONS of fun last night. I know I did. Like I said in the last post, I went to a friend of the family’s house. My family went and my brother took his girlfriend. It was boring at first. I just listened to my MP3 and ate some snacks.

Then my brothers and I (and his girlfriend) went to my friend Trey’s house where we played Guitar Hero III and Rock Band on his Xbox.

I kicked Trey’s ass on “One” (Metallica) on Expert; then my brother Cody kicked his ass on “Through the Fire and Flames” (DragonForce) on Expert. It was glorious.

Then we all played Rock Band (which I think the drums are the most fun to play) until 10:00. I just sat around and watched T.V. until the ball dropped after that.

Then we all got together in the living room (90% of adults drunk as monkeys) and counted down the last seconds of 2007.

I was tired and pissed off ’cause Trey didn’t wanna go back to his house and play Rock Band until later. So we all went home around 12:30 because none of my brothers wanted to wait.

I was out like a light.

I just got back from the mall with my brother though, and I bought Avenged Sevenfold’s new CD and DragonForce’s Inhuman Rampage.

Well, I gotta go so I can burn these songs onto my MP3 before I eat supper. Bye! (And it’s snowing like crazy outside right now!)

See ya’ tommorow!

~~Hugs and kisses,
Alex aka Cppd Officer
