Howdy!

The final addition of AHFT HTML’s has been released! “Kool Kodes” has been released to the public, introducing some new, funny, and completely krazy new kodes to AHFT! This is the final installment to the HTML collection and the final update of AHFT3.5!

Enjoy, haha!

As for me, well, I’ll be gone all next week! Our school is taking a trip to the Great Smokey Mountains in Tennessee and it’s gonna be a blast! I’ll tell ya’ all about the trip when I get back next Saturday! And I sure hope the weather will be great!

Please, let it be sunny and nice out! I begith you! 

~+~+~+~+~+~

 [ Happy Mother's Day from AHFT in advance ]

Howdy!

Ha! After one week, AHFT3.5 is finally released with edited and some brand new things! Some of them are more convenient, while others make AHFT more professional! What does Alex’s House of French Toast 3.5 have to offer?

 AHFT3.5 brings to the breakfast table…
[ a splash page - a nice little greeting when you visit AHFT ]
[ an updated and more classy navigation page ]
[ a more organized and easy-to-use contest page ]
[ thankfully, a completely unclubpenguinified website ]
[ one glorious HTML code added to the picture effects page ]

         PLUS…

[ 10 more songs on the Soundtrack ]
[ updated Video of the Month ]
[ magnification feature on the PicturePerfect gallery ]

Some more things to add, AHFT will have a whole new selection of HTML codes starting next Friday! But that’s Friday. I have something pretty cool to explain to you know!

 I’m a moderator, now, on the 4800+ member Club Penguin network that’s even been featured on Ning’s website! Heh, at least now people will actually be able to see my PengSpace, to which I have changed to a much more dark theme, and added AHFT’s chat plus a picture of myself. Interesting, no?

Howdy!

I hope all of you had a wonderful Earth Day!  I personally think it’s one of the most under-appreciated holidays of the year. Quick! Run outside and hug your backyard before it’s bedtime! Hehe.

Since this week will be pretty uneventful with the continuation of the contest, I won’t necessarily be posting “news”. Speaking of the contest, it will end up being shortened to May 9th depending on how many people sign up by Friday.

Also, courtesy of both Emily and 8stoplight8, AHFT has a new Piczo avatar! I think it looks booteeful. How about you? 

Howdy!

It is a known fact people love competing in contests. And in light of that, I introduced something BRAND new to AHFT — contests! This contest page you’ll find on the updated NaviGation page. There is currently only one contest and it will run until May 16th, almost a month from now. I expect fair play from everyone.

Simply read the rules and the contest information before you sign up. As stated, the basic prize is simply an advertisement on AHFT’s enter page; which comes before the regular enter page. Some sites would just love some extra hits, even though AHFT isn’t that popular. The newly placed ad will be up anywhere from one week to 15 days. Get it, got it, good. Hehe.

I am pleased that so many are already involved! Thank you! 

Howdy!

I’m all about perfection. So with the course of this week, I will be adding minor, but neat, little updates. You may have already noticed tiny little things already. For example…

The Leave button on the enter page ACTUALLY makes you leave now! Here’s the code…

 <a href="javascript:window.close()">YOUR TEXT, URL, OR IMAGE LINK HERE</a>

 

There’s a new, more organized Support system. Instead of simply emailing me, you can fill out a form first!

As for the rest of the week, an updated NaviGation page, and something interesting making it’s way to AHFT…

Howdy!

Gah! You might of wondered where I was the past week, I’ve just been so busy to even do what my green friend here just described! But finally, I got the PicturePerfect gallery finished. What is it, you say?

Quite simply this. I’m artistic and creative, yes.  But it wasn’t until the past month or so when an imaginative young lady introduced me to a free alternative to Photoshop, Paint.net. I thought well I should try it out.

Using a handful of tutorials and my own wit (  ) I managed to put together some pretty cool graphics and organized them into a brief collection. Why not share this collection with all of you on AHFT?

You’ll find the new link on the updated NaviGation page.

Howdy!

Finally! Ever since AHFT³ was first released, my goal was to have the perfect HTML collection! After almost 2 weeks, the entire collection is finished! New additions include Boxes & Borders and Text Effects! So…
Let’s tally up some statistics…  
5 Picture Effects
13 Link & Transition Effects
8 Scroll Bars
8 Boxes & Borders
13 Text Effects
——————
47 HTML Codes

Knock yourself out!  

Howdy! 

As I’m sure you noticed the HTML collection is way late. Apparently the website StarFusion, owned by Wolfie who is known for thievery, had stolen AHFT’s picture effects. To guard my other HTML codes I delayed the release of my other pages to be released until I could consult the matter.

As you should know, taking HTML codes from other sites and claiming them to be your own is against Piczo’s Terms of Service. I talked to the owner of StarFusion and the website has agreed to remove the codes. If it doesn’t, however, I will continue on to report them to Piczo and let them decide what to do with SF.

We’ll see what they say.

But I have missed so much over the course of last week…

AHFT³ is only 11 days old and has already soared to 700 hits and 300 visits! But why I like to bring this up is because I added my Piczo Rank badges to the website! AHFT is already an Ultimate Member — Grey, the fourth highest rank!

The AHFT chat reached it’s highest level of visitors ever! Nine people at one time! It is, indeed a new record. I’m still confused as to how the chain-reaction began but, hey, who’s complaining? Hehe…

  

Emmi and Layster just finished their new sites last weekend!
• Delicious Desserts
• Fruit Festival
Gozies now!  

Howdy!

Bigger is certainly better! And in acknowledging so I added two more of my HTML collections. I just love how amazing HTML codes are and I wanted to share all the ones I know with you!

Aren’t I so loving?  Anways, the rest of the HTML collection will be added on by Friday, Saturday at the latest. I just want this week to slow down! For sadly…

Spring break is almost over…

Also, because they’re ran by monkeys, Google still hasn’t updated the search results for “AHFT”. If you search “AHFT” looking for the website, it will still say “Viewable By Owner Only”.

 Moreover, still click the link. It works perfectly fine.

Howdy!

Just stoppin’ in to say thanks for all the support with AHFT³ and happy Easter! I’m not sure what I’m going to do this year, seeing as how 13 is a little too old to look for eggs filled with candy.

 But you know…

I hope you guys have a great Easter and for goodness sake BRING ME SOME CANDY. I’m fine with Peeps by the way. But I still demand CANDY. Pwease? I’ll be your best friend…?

 Anyhoo…
According to Emily, I’m a smarty!

Oh, and one more thing, I edited the AHFT Soundtrack a bit and added a few new songs. So go, go, go!

  Ya’ gone yet?

Howdy!

Woah, it came down to the second!  But I managed to get it done! AHFT³ is fresh from the frying pan! Literally! The amazing new “french toast template” brings a whole new theme to AHFT! And I’m sure you’ll love all the new features that include…

 AHFT³ brings…
[ a navigation system ]
[ NEW soundtrack feature ]
[ tech support ]
[ HTML collection ]

Navigation System – now you can simply browse each of the pages before going… to the pages.

Sountrack – imeem got the boot, due to how slow it made my computer and was replaced with a much easier playlist function.

Tech Support – you can report the simplest of problems to my personal email now.

HTML collection – with this, you can customize your website with an extensive collection of HTML codes.

By next Friday the entire HTML collection will be complete! I’ll update when each page is finished. As for now, just enjoy all the new features brought straight to you by AHFT and Rod!Rego!Design!

 Get on board March 21st, 2008!

  Get on board March 21st, 2008!

Howdy!

A big congratulations on PengSpace’s one-year anniversary! I managed to get into the party but at the time, taken no screenshots. However, this did bring me to a realization that I should update my PengSpace page.

It was a good party though.

What better way to advertise me, then on my own site? When you visit AHFT today and probably for the rest of the week, you’ll see an ad. Just click “Skip Ad” to go to the regular enter page.

Maybe I’m being a little selfish…  but my PengSpace page doesn’t get a lot of readers. I’ll take it down starting next week when AHFT goes into construction. My page isn’t 100% finished — tomorrow I’ll add some of my home made videos and a few more of my pretty pictures I made with Picasa.

Sleep time.

Howdy!

In my personal opinion, the background of a webpage pretty much says a lot about the website. If it’s bright, the site is bright. If it’s dark then the site is dark. And soforth. It backs up the whole site almost as much as the header, title, etc. AHFT has had the same boring background since it was first released, and I HAD to do something.

Deleted the whole background. It was cool at first but there was way too many faults. For one, you couldn’t read hardly anything. Especially on the Soundtrack page. Well, this new background changes all that!

Lemme give you some background on this background.  

It’s considered a scan line pattern. The meaning is in the name; lines that scan diagonally. This is a very professional pattern and used often as backgrounds for pages, buttons, widgets, and as a photographic special-effect. The whole idea was all thanks to Trainman1405 of CpMemories so be sure to thank him!

It also looks great with the new transparent header.

Howdy!

Some of you might get a lil’ confused when you got to AHFT today… there’s no tabs! This is no accident or glitch; this is just a new setup for Piczo’s toolbar at the top of the page. Its not new to Piczo, though, it’s new to AHFT. I never liked it because I loved my Piczo avatar. I might change it later and GIF’s look blurry and really ugly when you try to shrink them.

Which brings me to my next point…

AHFT³ just doesn’t look good at all with those boring black & red tabs! And I want AHFT³ to be as colorful and non-boring as possible! There was also a small glitch I — and I’m sure you — noticed a long time ago. All the way back to the original AHFT!

The help and login tabs were screwed up! Big time!  The HTML for the red-colored tabs, for some reason, also screwed up the other buttons that WEREN’T supposed to change color!  I just ignored it for the longest time ’cause you had to be logged off to see it. AHFT³ has to be perfect down to the finest detail, right?

Howdy! 

Everyone loves competition right? Well, one of AHFT’s original programs, AHFT Games, was just updated with two more of Piczo’s name-brand, live, interactive games. These games work the same basic way the others do. Just choose a name and wait…

The first game, Arcade Trivia Challenge, allows you to test your knowledge of Piczo against other players. Whereas, icebreakers, is just a way to get to know someone. But beware, a lot of idiots go on and instead of playing, they just ask what sex/age you are.

The sponsors page also got a new look.I listed all the sponsors vertically and gave a small description of what they contributed. I also added the UPCOMING sponsors.

That’s right.

“Upcoming” sponsors… those people contributing to AHFT³! Yep. It’s coming. It’s your chance to get a look at the people helping me with AHFT’s newest installment, coming soon. I’m not going to reveal anymore details on AHFT³ as of now… but in the course of next week’s updates you’ll get more tastes of this fresh french toast platter.

And don’t forget to give a holla’ to our sponsors as soon as you can! Without them, heh, I wouldn’t be here right now!

Howdy!

That’s right! Thanks to Conduit, I designed a personal toolbar for this blog that includes a radio, RSS feeds, and links. I’m pretty new to this, so any problems you might find PLEASE comment.

  AHFT :: Developer’s Blog Toolbar

I’ll also be updating the Games page this Friday with two more games and redesigning the AHFT Sponsors page. And be sure to visit the sites on the blogroll. That’s where you’ll most likely be able to find me. Don’t ask to be on my blogroll, though.

Howdy!

Yesterday was so stressful! My computer has been shutting down randomly, my Internet kicks off for no reason, windows stop responding…argh! My “j” and my “u” keys just fell right off! As you can imagine, it was very hectic yesterday.

However, I did manage to put together two more badges for the AHFT Badges page. The “vertical” badge, which fits for WordPress sidebars. And the “horizontal” badge, which fits for PengSpace profiles. I might make more badges in the future, just don’t expect any soon.

Moving on…

I also updated the feed stats page. Just so I don’t have to tell you in every post, I update the page every Monday, excluding tomorrow. If you suffer from short-term memory loss, get to the feed stats page via the RSS Feeds widget on the sidebar.

 And don’t forget this time! 

Oh, and if you hadn’t noticed, I moved the “Add Me!” button on AHFT to under the chatbox, next to the newly replaced “Comment Me!” button. Now if you excuse me… it’s time for a nap.

P.S. now…there’s…time…with…comments…

Howdy!

Ever wanted to help advertise AHFT? See the thing about advertising is… people hate it. Most everyone thinks advertising is annoying. Chances are, they’ll delete your comment or edit the link out.

You →  

UNLESS… you do it creatively. Namely, badges. Visit AHFT’s new page “AHFT Badges” on the homepage where you can choose from three different badges: small, medium, and large. There will be more badges added in the course of the next few weeks.

Copy and paste the link from the text box to your WordPress, Piczo, PengSpace, or hi5! That’s all you have to do. You can’t save or copy and paste the badges because of the copyright protection system.

I had to replace a page, of course. The page replaced was the “AHFT Team” because the whole staff idea fell apart. It’s not your fault but I work best alone. Don’t take it personally TyBoy000 and Jason.

  You can still enjoy AHFT just as you do now, so don’t worry!

TyBoy000 will still be an owner on the chat and Jason and Stephen will be the moderators. I might make Emmi a moderator, too next time I see her. The chat’s been getting quite popular recently.

Anyone else can be a moderator if you play your cards right.

P.S. You might have noticed a new button added to the corner of AHFT. The button was made by PengPlace, and you can click it to add AHFT as a friend on your Piczo friend list. Don’t hesitate to ask; I accept any and all friend requests.

Howdy!

There were some problems that I had with the old look to AHFT’s homepage. It was kinda slopped together in random secession. So I took the liberty of last night and most of today in remaking the homepage, only this time more artsy.

  Internet Explorer has been working against me the past few days. The Internet has been horribly slow causing much delay in work. The updates could of been done yesterday. Fortunately I was able to install FireFox to speed things up.

Now things have been as easy as ever. Some of the main updates were the Piczo Rank collection instead of just the current rank. Another was the enlarging of the chatbox and still another was the new header. I got rid of a few useless things such as the calender and the rating meter. We all know AHFT is awesome, right?

The header was added to the layout while still in Paint. 8stoplight8 of StoplightFans pieced together a humurous picture of french toast. That, combined with credit to Pizza of ColorSmash since he was the one who made the whole thing, the new header was finished.

So enjoy the new look. Who knows, I might change it again sooner than you think. You can also expect more new changes next week such as a new…

P.S.

Howdy!

In case you hadn’t noticed, the Soundtrack on AHFT was updated today. Like I said, I’m trying to keep a regularly updated schedule. There are exactly 4 new songs out of the 9 total. Choosing songs is hard because the website I use, imeem, sometimes only gives out
30-second previews rather than the full song.

Oh, and just so people can identify which songs are new — trust me, the background kind of makes the text unreadable — there’s a very obvious sign next to each of the titles.

Enjoy the music!

Howdy!

Love is very much in the air! Why? It’s Valentine’s Day! I hope you had fun at school today during this guishy-wovey “holiday”. It was the first time I had actually gotten to spend the whole day with my significant other. Ahh…

Before I continue rambling on about my personal life, I added some touches to AHFT! In case you were wondering about why people on the Xat chatboxes — like the one on AHFT — have a little heart by their name, here’s how…

1. Click your name on the visitor’s list.

2. Click “Register” under your home page option.

3. Fill in your username, password, and email.

4. Activate it.

It’s just a small little update, yes, but a fun one!

On the same note, people are also wondering how to do this new, funny looking emoticon. Once you’ve gone through the steps above type in the following: (Eyes) It will not work if you don’t register. What I believe the purpose of registering is, is so they can recognize you for small little things like this.

Also tomorrow, new songs on the Soundtrack!

Cause you gotta be loved…

Howdy! 

Yep! AHFT² is out of beta testing. It’s been ten days and we can let the fun begin! I never really told anyone that it was in beta. It wasn’t really a big deal. Before I carried it out, though, I wanted to make sure everyone came! And you did!

Already over 500 hits since release? Wow! This blog will be updated along with AHFT — which is in an irregular pattern as of now. I hope to update to a regular schedule, like for example, every Friday. Since you’ll never know, keep coming back here!

P.S. Click ”  ” on the sidebar for updated feed stats…

Howdy!

I decided. How’s about a nifty AHFT Developers Blog?

That’s what I thought. Cool, huh? I kinda considered that a Planet Cazmo blog would pretty much be the same thing as a Cp blog — only difference; I’d be one of the first. Which’ll catch me into the popularity phase, again…

It’s called integrity people. Look it up.

Anyways, the problem with Club Penguin (and I guess Planet Cazmo now) is the addiction it brings. But, see, it can be used in the right way. However, it can be used in the wrong way.

When you make a Club Penguin blog, you’re committing yourself to that addiction — binding yourself to what you’ll have to give up in the end. Only makes it hurt worse when you realize you need to move on. Don’t think you won’t have to move on.

I already changed the theme to Kubrick. It’s a simple theme, which of course means a boring theme. That’s why I planned to have a really cool header to liven things up.

I also updated the sidebar. Cool little trinkets, right? I’ll add an AHFT button later. Sometime around the header-releasing. Like I said, everything will be simplified. Everything. And I mean it.

Which leads me to this completely unrelated story…

Graser3’s birthday is today. All right. It’s his SIXTEENTH birthday! What the Hell? He’s a junior in high school and playing a childish game like Club Penguin?! That’s not just pathetic… that’s creepy… It gets creepier.

Graser 10 said to me he was Graser3’s older brother. See where this is headed? If G3 is 16… and G10 is older… than that means… HE’S OLDER THAN 16!!!

Do you understand how weird that is…

Also, I made this stupid video and put it on YouTube a few days ago. It’s me using this really fun/funny Cp Trainer.

See ya’ tomorrow!

~~Hugs and kisses,
Alex aka Cppd Officer

Howdy!

 Happy Chinese New Year!  

AHFT² has been a big hit! Since release we’ve already got 400+ hits! Wow. Stephen was fired because it’s been a week since I released AHFT². Sorry, but I gotta keep my priorities in order.

Which means AHFT² is a three-man band now.

It’s O.K. Communication is better than ever. I had to punish Jason for editing the site without asking me…  …but I’m still satisfied with the results. Really excited too.

One question on everyone’s mind though…

What will happen to this blog?

Last week’s proposal turned out to not work so I have two new ideas…
1. Make this a brief blog. Quick little posts about updates of AHFT a paragraph-or-so long. Everything else will be completely impromptu.
2. Make this a Planet Cazmo blog.

 What’s Planet Cazmo?

Planet Cazmo is a brand new flash game. It’s mostly like Club Penguin except without penguins — real people. They have big-heads, but you know. The game is still in beta, and much like Beta Club Penguin, it’s pretty slow. Oh well.

My usernames are VeNoMiZeR and AlexM.

VeNoMiZeR is for fun, AlexM is my main account. There isn’t much to the game yet. It is fun though. Sign Up Here »

I don’t get enough comments any more to have a vote. Applause to you guys for that. I’ll make the decision in the upcoming days myself.

See ya’ tomorrow!

~~Hugs and kisses,
Alex aka Cppd Officer

Howdy!

  Happy Groundhog’s Day!

…enjoying an early spring…

I just came back from my final swim meet (unless I make AA qualifications) and I have a very important announcement… 

Into over a week of construction, but it’s finally finished!

AHFT² was completed yesterday but I decided not to release it until today because I had to update the Video of the Month and it was late at night. *cough* I had to get up at 6:45 in the morning.

The only thing left to do is give Stephen & Jason the AHFT password and we can begin this new generation of french toast.

By the way, did you know “french” is the only lowercase proper adjective? Hmm, wierd huh? Then again, it is the French. Or french.

Ha-ha I just made you learn something on the weekend…

In all seriousness. though, be sure to visit AHFT as soon as possible. Getting it off the ground was hard enough…

Once everything is taken care of I’ll sign off WordPress for good.

Wait…

I had a plan for this blog. Instead of “posting”, I thought about using the Prolouge theme. Which means YOU make the post via a comment. Just ask “Whatcha up to Alex”, or “How’s it going, Cppd”.

The “comment-post” box will be located at the top of the homepage. Then people can comment on those comments.

What I will do is make a quick little comment-post on what I am doing. See the correlation? I’ll also give away behind-the-scenes updates to AHFT. Everything else will be completely impromptu.

Think of it as a non-live chat.

I’ll get rid of the pages and Flickr and Songspot, etc. I’ll leave the archives and hits widget though. You don’t have to advertise the site or come to it everyday or anything like that.

It’ll go on as long as AHFT will go on, hopefully.

That’s all for me. And like I said before, visit AHFT² now!

Enjoy your weekend!

~~Hugs and kisses,
Alex aka Cppd Officer

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…

~~Hugs and kisses,
Alex aka Cppd Officer

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.

~~Hugs and kisses,
Alex aka Cppd Officer 

Howdy!

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 …

~~Hugs and kisses,
Alex aka Cppd Officer

Howdy!

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!

~~Hugs and kisses,
Alex aka Cppd Officer

 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.

*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.

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?

~~Hugs and kisses,
Alex aka Cppd Officer

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!

Alex aka Cppd Officer

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.

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!

  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

 Howdy!

*No point in wasting a post to write this, but I just wanted to wish you a happy New Year! Where will you spend the last seconds of 2007? I’m going to a friend of the family’s house, like we do every year. New Years Eve is always a blast! And remember kid’s, the champagne is not for you…

I got a little bored today, so like whenever I’m bored, I wrote a post.

I compiled almost a year’s worth of information of this site into basic statistics… to share with you guys. Ahh… good times… good times…

Now for some ranting.

For those of you who critized me about saying: “Cpd and Bluzzzy have ruined North Pole.”, lemme tell you this in nice red letters…

“…North Pole was never overcrowded to a point where the Town was actually full. The only reason it’s full is because of the large crowds and the troubles brought along with large crowds created by Cpd and Bluzzzy. North Pole was peaceful, I had a good times with both my member and nonmember friends because BOTH could get in. I can barely sit next to one of my friends now, let alone Cpd Officer. Going to get coffee-which requires a trip to the Town-takes over a minute. People accuse ME of copying Cpd. People don’t ask each other if they wanna do something like swim or sled race. People brag about being buddies with Cpd and/or Bluzzzy. What’s the point of being buddies with them anyway if all they do is sit or dance? When I told Cpd ‘Look what you’ve done!’ he responded ‘It’s the people’…”

Look at these pictures and tell me North Pole hasn’t been destroyed by Cpd and Bluzzzy…

  … Yeah, no more proof is needed.

There’s obviously nothing the people can do about it. It’s not like all the penguins in North Pole are gonna say ”You know what, I’m getting pretty tired of being a sheep for two people I don’t even know.” Cpd, you and Bluzzzy need to leave! Get the Hell out! Go to an already ruined server like Frozen or Mammoth!

Give us back the peaceful server we deserve!

See ya’ tomorrow!

P.S. If you read “The New… AHFT365″ and was wondering how I brought the old posts back, here’s the dirty little secret…

I DIDN’T DELETE THE POSTS TO BEGIN WITH!

I just turned them into “Drafts” so you couldn’t see them.

~~Hugs and kisses,
Alex aka Cppd Officer

Howdy!

Well, with this blog ending, I’d like to share with you something.

As my old readers know — Tyboy000, Cpd Officer, Bori & Kimi, and Graser 10 (especially him since he copied a lot from me) — that this, before AHFT, was a Club Penguin blog.

It was called Club Penguin Police Department, since I was leading that organization, and Regulus was the theme used. I thought it was a great CP blog, before I grew up.

I republished every post from first to this one, as seen in the updated Archives widget. January to December. You can use the “Club Penguin” category but it’s recommended to use the Archives widget.

By skimming each post… you can easily see how I’ve matured; grown up. It was only a year, but skeptist I may be, it was the longest and the quickest year of my life. I learned a lot about my personal values and I gained a lot of good friends. And I can’t believe it’s over already.

I obviously learned how much of my life was being wasted posting news about Club Penguin. No amount of views, comments, or hits can rewind that clock.

Especially ’cause I wasn’t having fun.

You can view this gallery of good times and bad times any time you want because I’m not redrafting the posts.

Tell me, though, if you have a Club Penguin blog…

“Why did you make your Club Penguin blog?” and
“When do you think you’re gonna to throw in the towel?”

You have to be honest. I’ve seen too many truthful and dishonest answers to those questions to not know whether or not you’re lying.

And if you answer “…because it’s fun!” to the first question, then lemme answer that by asking you this…

“Why is it fun to you?”

Consider these questions, and answer in heavy detail. I’m itching to find out why so many kids these days connect to the Internet… to waste their life on the Internet.

Isn’t Club Penguin nothing more than a game?

Also I logged onto Club Penguin earlier tonight. Only to be told the room was full. So I tried again. And once I arrived in the North Pole Town, look what was thrown in my face.

I doubt you need any more proof Bluzzzy and/or Cpd Officer ruined North Pole. I said before that North Pole was the perfect server. No hacking issues, no popularity issues, hardly any spamming.

It was a quiet yet bustling server to hang out with a lot of people in a peaceful scenario.

Now you couldn’t tell the difference between North Pole and Frozen… let alone Mammoth. So lets all give a round of applause for them for killing the best server in Club Penguin.

Unless, of course, you can point out another reason in the picture for the crowding of the Town. I won’t rush you, I got plenty of time.

See ya’ tomorrow!

P.S. I lost some posts like “Wise Beyond My Days” and “Found the Rock Legend In You” and one other post because it was already half deleted. I’m pretty sure that was all.

~~Hugs and kisses,
Alex aka Cppd Officer

Well, our family finds it easier to celebrate Christmas together… before Christmas. It’s easier on everyone, and that way, we can all spend a quiet Christmas in our homes. It was fun meeting every generation from my 2-year-old cousin to my 75-year-old grandpa.

Also this year, for our holiday feast… we’re uhh… going “exotic”. Today we bought alligator meat and some tur-duc-hen rolls. I also picked out some interesting deserts.

Jungle Jim’s International Market has plenty of weird and crazy food items. Goat’s head, anyone? 

I can’t believe… seriously… that it’s already Christmas. Wasn’t it Thanksgiving last week? A month a go, it was Halloween… wasn’t it?

I sit on my couch, typing on my laptop, next to my Christmas tree, drinking some hot cocoa, watching Santa Clause 2 on basic cable, I am hoping that all of you have the merriest of Christmases and the happiest of holidays.

Obviously, I won’t be on the Internet tomorrow, but I plan wrap up all my work tonight, so I — and you — can relax tomorrow.

Good night everyone!

P.S. Oooh… it’s all warm and fuzzy!

~~Hugs and kisses,
Alex aka Cppd Officer

Howdy!

Well, it be Friday again and the ‘07 Christmas Party began this morning. I’d say it wasn’t bad, but it’d be better if I was as attached to the game as I was last year. It’s not like, upsetting though.

The decorations are amazing, and I’m a little disappointed I didn’t win in the igloo contest. Oh well… apparently now I’m going through the whole “Who Cares?” phase, which’ll make quitting a lot easier. I’ll  probably renew my membership for one more month because I can’t believe December is already coming to an end.

But if you’re wondering about the creepy title, here’s the scoop.

I guess losers get desperate during the holidays. Of course, greed and selfishness are why we celebrate Christmas in Club Penguin right? I’m not sure if the Christmas Scarf was released, but an awful lot of people have one so maybe it’s out there somewhere…

I dunno. Someone told me it was in the Ski Village on accident, and it’ll be back Monday. Lucky bastards…

That’s about it… I guess. I left school for Christmas Break, so yeah, I guess that’s something. Has your break started? What do you have planned for the holidays?

See ya’ tomorrow!

P.S. I’ll ask a legitimate question. Okay, look at the map.

You see how the Cove is above the Forest? Does this confuse anyone? It confused me! The steps to the Cove from the Forest go downward!

Ahem, not much to write about today.

Although in my spare time I added some new things.

I got bored of the old Sonific Songspot, considering I’ve had it since, oh I don’t know, February? Sonific isn’t known for good music, considering they don’t support major labels. And your best bet for a good song is a cover by a band nobody’s heard of.

“I Fought the Law” was replaced by an equally great country song “The Devil Went Down to Georgia”. Enjoy that.

Also, with the end of this blog near, I added a new widget “Recommending Readings”. It’s a bulleted list of all my most favorite, passionate posts I’ve written over the last 5 months.

What I mean by “the end of this blog near” is, this blog cannot last forever. But my goal — yes a goal, look it up idiots — is to reach my one year Blogoversary.

A lot of blogs fold before they reach that mark. Holagurrl25’s blog. Nope. Fylliper’s blog. Nope. Sanitypenguin’s blog. Nope. Dunya13’s blog. Nope. Berryc00l’s blog. Nope.

See a pattern?

I wanna make it, no matter how hard this journey has been. But I’ve always had something to blog about. Another big word here; “determination”. I will try my best. Less than one month to go!

(To see the Blogoversary tracker, visit the Fun Stuff page.)

See ya’ tomorrow!

You know… I always found it funny — and pathetic, especially pathetic, that, even though Cpd Officer and Bluzzzy have accomplished nothing, they’re rewarded with attention.

They sit on their asses everyday while hundreds of other idiots (who hear this “Bluzzzy and Cpd are popular” and think they have to be around them) while several other people work themselves to the bone day in and day out receive nothing.

Is that how Club Penguin works?

The friendly, well-’round, respectful people that have principles and accomplish their goals aren’t given a thing.

While the selfish, spoiled brats of Club Penguin (heh, you know who you are) are handed everything. Though they do nothing, stand for nothing; they expect everything to just be handed to them. And because all Club Penguin is about nowadays is popularity, idiots just keep feedin’ the fire. No, don’t deny it. You know it’s true.

You know deep down inside you want nothing more than fame. You’ll die for it. You’ll just do anything to “make a name for yourself”. It’s the poison that runs through Club Penguin. Will it end? Nah, probably not.

Club Penguin blogs, made for one reason; to be popular. On YouTube people brag to their friends about their buddy lists making videos entitled “Famous Buddies”. Older penguins use their rarity as a mean to gain fame. People don’t know when to stop.

No, strike that last statement. People don’t want to know when to stop. They feel good, it’s fun; that’s it. It’s all about good-times, right? Until the “good-times” bring Club Penguin to it’s knees. But that’s the future, it’s not their problem.

Why in the world should they care about someone other than themselves? Why should anyone?

Hmm… I can’t change your life. But with the behavior of, you know, most everyone in Club Penguin, don’t people need an influence? Don’t people need something to stand for? Don’t people need principles and morals to live by? Don’t people need role-models?

Nope. As long as it makes you happy and self-satisfied, there’s nothing to worry about, right? That’s showin’ you have guts. That’s showin’ you have a spine. That’s showin’ you believe in something.

Faith, of course, means nothing to society any more. Good nature, respect, kindness… tch… forget those qualities. Those qualities actually take work to achieve. And who wants that?

Before you comment, and point your finger, think about your inner self. Don’t worry, you can lie to me that your a good person. We’ll never find out. But review your attitudes, your morals, your true life.

Then comment.

I won’t know if you lie, nobody will. But there’s one Man that will know if you’re lying. And you’ll answer to Him eventually.

“Stand up for which you believe, if you at least believe in something; at long last, let Faith triumph.”

Oh, and have a great week…

Well, it’s time to open up the catalog, dust off some old furniture and get decorating for the 2007 Christmas Igloo Contest!

Nobody decorates better than me…why? Perfectionism; I’ve been a perfectionist for as long as I can remember. That’s why I get compliments on my site, my igloo, my PengSpace — all because of my case of perfectionism. It’s both a negative and a positive problem.

It’s all about spacing, organization, and neatness.

So I constructed a guide for you to use this year when decorating your igloo for the holidays!

Tip 1: Don’t get igloo’ed to your computer
Don’t stress too much. Stressing over something
as unimportant as this will bring you down 
even deeper. Just relax, okay?

Tip 2: Pick the right igloo for your style
If you’re goin’ with a White Christmas,
choose the Snow Globe or a Snow Igloo! For
a Classic Christmas, try the Deluxe Igloo. A
Crazy Christmas igloo could work for just
about any igloo you want!

Tip 3: Don’t go ho-ho-overboard
1, 2, or even 3 trees are enough. Decorations
should NOT be piled on top of each other.
Exception: Crazy Christmas Igloo

Tip 4: Deck the halls with originality
Use a style YOU think is best. Advice is good,
but going on your own instinct and personality;
even better. Tinker around with furniture
and igloo upgrades until it feels ”just right”.

Tip 5: The brain-melting basics
This is probably the hardest part. You got
your layout in your head. You got the furniture.
Everything is set up. Now what? Make your
vision a reality. Set up everything you want,
following the basics — organization, spacing,
realistic consideration, etc. Whatever it takes.

These were my results…

Not surprisingly, with all the snow that plummeted the Northeast, I did not have school today. Woohoo…?

It’s been a pretty boring day… I mean… really boring. It wasn’t much of a snow day until my brother’s friends came over and we all went sledding. The best part was riding on a sled tied to our truck.

Not scary, of course, until we went over a few potholes. (On purpose.) Since then my back has been soar; good thing this couch is comfy.

In other good news, my membership has been renewed (yayness)! Only for a month, and good thing too because that’s all I wanted. I have to admit, the game’s getting kinda boring. Not that boring, but not that exciting to keep paying money for.

Apparently, when your membership expires, your igloo stays saved; and when it’s renewed, you don’t have to remake it!

 …Awesome…

It’s also come to my understanding that Cpd Officer’s name changed? If it did, then what is it now? And I found this poser on Glacier…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.

Haha! I’m giddy today. My membership will get renewed today, the Guitar Hero page is almost done, my PengSpace is complete, and I’m about done putting up my AHFT Christmas decorations.

Also, you know why else I’m happy? Have you been on Club Penguin lately? The Yellow Puffles aren’t it. Look closer…

No heart? Heh! See, I did it! I convinced Club Penguin enough to try to stop online relationships, that they took out the heart emoticon! It might not of been me alone, or me at all, but it’s gone!

I have no idea why the skull is gone, though. Oh well…

Now all we (the sane people) can do, is wait to see the improved filters bring an end to dating on Club Penguin.

I sip my hot chocolate with satisfaction.

Yep. I finally made a PengSpace for myself. I figured it’d give me something to do while working on my new page and and waiting for my membership renewal.

It only took me 2½ days to complete. The reason why it took so fast is because I’ve had some experience with Ning. Way back from Socool’s Whatever, created by Socool987654.

PengSpace has really gotten to me, and I will gladly add anyone who invites me ‘n’ read all messages I receive.

Also, starting next week I’m gonna brighten up The Official AHFT Piczo (now called Alex’s House of French Toast) with some Christmas cheer. Some great updates include a hilarious Video of the Month, and a
re-energized Soundtrack. Just wait and see! Heh heh…

Sadly, the break is over (ended Sunday) and I’m back into the same boring routine. Back to the nothing-special schedule I call my life.

*Something out of the Ordinary*
Today, there was a crash on my street. All the power was out. Guess I’m havin’ leftovers from dinner…

I am already looking foreword to the weekend though. I get to go bowling with some of my friends from school.

My Club Membership expired the other day, too. That’s disappointing. Oh well. I’ll have to end up asking my parents again. I’m not going to ask them to renew it until this Sunday, however. I want the membership to last well past Christmas. Why?

It’s only going to be a month this time because that’s all I need. All I want to do is celebrate my second Christmas on Club Penguin the right way. I wouldn’t be so upset about non-membership then.

I got nothing better to say, so I’ll say it again –

See ya’ tomorrow!

I’m back. Phew, what a day. I got to enjoy some peace and quiet this morning ’cause my brothers had to help my dad with something. Then I went to my friend’s house for a bit, and went to the party.

It’s always so fun when your whole family gets together in one cramped room. I never stop loving to see my cousin.

This year, I got her a “Pull ‘n Stretch Elmo”. She loved it for a whole 3 minutes. She was more interested in my aunt’s Christmas decorations.

Speaking of which, I guess I’m going to log on to Club Penguin and put up my Christmas decorations! Peace!

See ya’ tomorrow!

Well, it’s turkey day! The day where we celebrate the taking of Native American lands by overeating and watching football!

Tradition is so beautiful.

I went to my uncle and aunt’s house this year. The food was amazing and I stuffed myself on the dirt pie I made yesterday. Then we watched Green Bay kick Detriot’s sorry ass. Afterwords, my brothers and I watched “I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry”. Hilarious! We just played pool until it got dark (which is now like 5? 6?) and we left.

Wasn’t it Halloween last week? Is time flying by that fast! Wow. And before you know it, it’ll be Christmas! Wha…

The celebration continues (for me) because this Saturday is my cousin Paige’s 3rd birthday. Either this crack pipe is gettin’ to me or I can’t get a grasp on time. Can’t wait, though.

Cake goes great with turkey. I mean ham. To me turkey is a flavorless, dry piece of unappetizing meat. Fun to hunt, nasty to chew.

I gotta go, and I hope you have an excellent Thanksgiving!
(Don’t get too excited Dallas Cowboy fans…)

P.S. Wobbleman29 suggested a great idea; a Guitar Hero page! I’ll get right to work on it, and it should be finished by next Wednesday.

Well today was the first day of my 5-day Thanksgiving break. I accidentally punched myself in the temple this morning because I was so excited I didn’t have to get up early.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day, not today though.

Some bad news, however; my GH3 game doesn’t work! We took it in and got it 100% clean, and tried the disk on 3 different PlayStation 2 consoles. Nothing. Nodda. Zip. Zilch.

I don’t know what’s wrong with it. But I figured I’d watch more videos on YouTube, and share them with you guys, all on Expert.

“One” by Metallica

“Number of the Beast” by Iron Maiden

“Raining Blood” by Slayer

“The Metal” by Tenacious D

“Rock You Like a Hurricane” by Scorpions

“Welcome to the Jungle” by Guns N’ Roses

“Holiday in Cambodia” by The Dead Kennedys

Some side notes, there is so much data on this post, it might take awhile to play a video. Don’t worry; it’ll work after a few seconds. And you have to stop one video to play another, otherwise they’ll overlap.

See ya’ tomorrow!

Man it’s been a boring week. Nothing to do but go to school, eat, and sleep. Pretty exciting life.

Anyway, for some strange reason, the temperature dropped from 55° to 38°!  How can it be that cold this early. Speaking of which, guess what next week is! Thanksgiving — already!

I finished Guitar Hero III on Hard mode the other day. It took me forever to beat “Devil Went Down to Georgia” — and it was only on Hard! This game will keep kids from graduating for sure.

Another tough song was “Through the Fire and the Flames” by Dragon Force. Nobody, not even myself, has heard of it.

But it was a real pain in the ass.

My brother can beat it on Hard. Only one in a million can beat it on Expert. I don’t have a YouTube video for it, but the song is on
The Official AHFT Piczo, so check it out.

Nothing else special happened this week, so I don’t have anything left to write about. I hope the weekend isn’t as cold as I think it will be.

See ya’ tomorrow!

Yep. I got Guitar Hero III last night. I told my dad there should be a copy available for us to rent. He said, “Why don’t we just buy it?”.

No sleep for me last night. It is the best game on the planet. I don’t care of you like Madden games, or Need For Speed games — nothing compares to GH3.

My brother and I tried to beat Co-op Career mode on Expert, but we couldn’t get past the last song, “One” by Metallica.

I haven’t spent much time on regular Career mode. I’m only as good as Hard, so I’m not even thinking about beating the game on Expert. If I ever need reassurance, I’ll read the last post.

I didn’t get up until about 12:30 pm, and I can’t feel my forearm.

But, hey, play through the pain, right.

I am so excited to get Guitar Hero III, which came out not too long ago, I had to get a preview of one of my favorite songs on the game.

Unfortunately, that song is one of the hardest songs on the game, and it is the last song on the game. Lucky me.

No biggie — I played tough songs on Guitar Hero II like “Jordan” and “Hanger 18.” That’s what I thought… at first.

All hail YouTube!

Some of those notes are so fast, I doubt the shock from your brain to your fingers can keep up with it! Well, I know now that when I get Guitar Hero III — avoid Expert at all costs. All costs.

See ya’ tomorrow!

Oh, nevermind, it’s just Graser 10. Hand me that stick.

Many, many of my readers know Graser 10, probably because he is one of my readers. I thought he was my friend. Boy… was I wrong!

Graser 10 has been my “friend” since at least April. We had our ups and downs and arounds — but one can only take so much.

Graser 10 has always been copying me since he first heard about my site. Minor things, major things, but it never seemed to get old. Never!

The sad part is, he lies about it!

For the most part, some of things weren’t worth losing a good friend. But looking back, I begin to see how stupid I was…

My CPPD tagline, he copied it.
My old theme’s header, he copied it.
My Pixel Penguins, he copied them.
My homepage idea, he copied it.

I’m no Nostradamus, but my next guess is… my Piczo.

Congratulations to me!

I read his newest post the other day, and he told his readers that he had a “surprise” coming. I assumed it would be a Piczo, although I’m not 100% sure, so I went and checked his Piczo just in case.

That was the straw that broke the camel’s back. He completely copied and used my ideas. Proof, you ask? Why certainly!

Maybe it’s just me, but I spy some resemblances… hmm…

It just goes to show, under Graser 10’s “warm and welcoming” exterior, he’s just another prick that will do anything to be the best.

Even copy his friends.

See ya’ tomorrow!

 Happy Halloween everyone!

Halloween is full of costumes and candy, trick-or-treating and terrifying haunted houses, pumpkins and black cats. But just where did Halloween come from? Why are we celebrating?

Halloween, or Hallowe’en, is shortened from “All-hallow-even,” as it is the eve of “All Hallows’ Day”, which is also known as All Saints’ Day.

The history of Halloween goes back 2000 years. Many believe that Halloween’s origins are found in the Celtic festival of Samhain. The Celts, who were located in Ireland, the UK and the northern parts of France, celebrated their New Year on the first of November. Samhain was celebrated the night before the New Year.

The New Year, Celts believed, marked summer’s end, harvest time, and the start of dark, cold winter months. Those winter months were associated with death by these people. On October 31, the night before the New Year, the Celts celebrated Samhain.

This day, they believed, was when the ghosts of the deceased returned to earth because the boundaries between the living world and the dead world blurred.

When we think of “Trick-Or-Treating”, the origins can probably be found in the English All Souls’ Day parades.

During these celebrations, the poor would come out and beg for food from the more wealthy families. When the families gave them pastries called “soul cakes”, they asked for the poor to pray for their relatives that had passed away.

Another possibility that may have grown into “Trick-Or-Treating” is the tradition of people leaving bowls of food in front of their homes. They did this to keep the ghosts that were wandering the earth from entering their houses. Smart, huh?

Dressing in costumes has a couple possible origins. European and Celtic people both felt winter was a frightening time. It was cold, it was darker, and the possibility of running out of food was great. When they reached the time when they thought the dead returned, they thought they might encounter these ghosts whenever they left their houses. The wearing of masks and costumes grew from these people donning masks so the ghosts would not recognize them!

This holiday was brought to the US by Scotch and Irish immigrants in the 1800s. At that time, much of the “spookiness” of the holiday was removed and a sense of community and fun were added. Although scary themes are still the focus of many Halloween celebrations, that scariness is done for fun, not because of actual fear.

Halloween is currently the 2nd largest commercial holiday!

Why? I don’t know.

I am sad, though, that October and all the fun is gone… *sigh*
Is it not a shame how happiness can just come and go?

I wonder what November will bring us, me, the planet. That’s
what sparks life, “curiosity”. We’ll just have to wait and see!

Like September, I didn’t peak out with too many hits. But, hey!
At least I actually earned the hits the right way.

That’s about it for me, and October, so all I can say is…

Happy Halloween!

Enjoy the rest of your night, people.

See ya’ tomorrow!

P.S. Guitar Hero III is out!!! Yeah!!!

Well, in my town it was beggar’s night tonight or “Trick-or-Treat” night. I didn’t trick-or-treat this year, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t any get candy. Oh no… there was candy.

I got a pocket-full of candy just for sitting on my ass, passing out candy to little kids. It was cold, and parts of my body (all parts) were frozen solid, but it was totally worth it.

Most of it was candy I took from our bowl. Later, around 7 o’clock or so, I just stopped by to talk to the neighbors… and they asked me if I wanted candy… I politely said yes. I’m a good person, you know.

The clown wig I bought was itchy, so I didn’t wear it that long. I kept my hands warmed by taking off the roof of one of my jack-o-lanterns.

Sure, the conditions sucked… but for free candy; totally worth it!

Hope you have fun trick-or-treating this year!

See ya’ tomorrow!

P.S. If you haven’t seen the cool updates on The Official AHFT Piczo   lately, now is the time to do it before I take ‘em down for the year!

Wow… the Halloween Party ‘07… no disappointer. Not at all. The decorations are phenomenal! The activities are amazing! The Candy Hunt is extraordinary! Are these adjectives getting to you!

The theater in the Lighthouse is one of my favorite decorations. I also enjoy hiding in the haunted forest and scaring everybody who heads toward the Cove. Good times, good times.

The solar eclipse is back, but it’s not as exciting this time around. The main event of the party is the spectacular Candy Hunt that takes place all over the island! There’s a fuzzy feeling in my tummy.

…Might just be all the candy I ate….

But what I am interested the most in, party and all, is the Halloween Scarf — probably the greatest free item of the year. All I wanted before I canceled my membership was one really awesome free item, and I about begged Club Penguin to bring back the Christmas Scarf.

And what’s the next best thing? A Halloween Scarf!

I hope everyone is enjoying the party as much as I am. With Club Penguin aside, I wish you all the scariest and most wonderful Halloween of your life. All of you.

Our school had a Halloween dance, but none of my friends went, and my girlfriend forgot her money. So I’m enjoying my peace and quiet.

Although tomorrow, I have my first swim meet of the season.
I hope my times are as great as they can be!

Halloween is next Wednesday, if you didn’t already know.
Get ready for the greatest time of the year; that’s all I can say.

Red Ribbon Week is a United States initiative of prevention and education about the dangers of drugs and alcohol. During this week in October, students all over the country make pledges to live drug and alcohol free. Cool, huh? I think it is.

Red Ribbon Week is the most far-reaching and well-known drug prevention event in America. The National Family Partnership, which coordinates Red Ribbon activities nationally, estimates that over 80 million Americans participate in Red Ribbon events.

The first Red Ribbon Celebration was organized in 1986 by an organization of parents concerned about the destruction caused by alcohol and drug abuse. The red ribbon was adopted as a symbol of the movement in honor of Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, an agent with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration who was kidnapped and killed while investigating drug traffickers. The campaign has reached millions of children and has been recognized by the U.S. Congress.

Many children in schools are given red ribbons to wear, usually saying a drug-free motto. Red Ribbon Week usually occurs in the last week of October each year. Nancy Reagan came up with the idea of Red Ribbon Week and put it into action.

“Those who stand for nothing, fall for anything.”
—Alexander Hamilton

I live by that quote. It makes perfect sense.

I also find it funny how this can (and probably won’t) affect you. This applies just as much to online relationships and Club Penguin blogs, as it does to drugs and poor decisions. Listening? Didn’t think so.

Anyways, Club Penguin is celebrating its 2nd Anniversary! I can hardly believe it has already been two years since its creation. The yearbook is incredible — that’s my whole penguin’s life summed up in a book.

The memories will never fade. Club Penguin is that amazing.

And if you haven’t heard, Stephen Colbert is thinking about running for U.S. President! I would laugh my ass off if he won the election! I’m not sure if it’s serious or not, but I find the whole thing very amusing.

I am sorry for making you wait a whole week for this project; but it was well worth the wait. Tonight, after rushing through some Internet problems, I completed my surprise. It couldn’t of been more perfect.

If you like play-on titles, you already know the surprise was…
an official Alex’s House of French Toast Piczo!

Yep. Some people thought it was a good idea to have a Piczo, that way I can keep in touch with you guys easier. I thought it was a great idea, and love and behold, this vision became a reality.

The Piczo was created back in June, but the idea was abandoned. I would of never thought it’d come in handy several months later! Wow.

Got any feedback?

Are you still here? Good, good.

I’m nearing completion of this super-secret surprise I made public Monday. Progress has been greatly slowed by technical difficulties, but it should be finished by next Monday, at the latest.

I will post following suit of completion. To keep your curious minds boggling, I’ve left you a “sneak-peak” of the project.

That’s all the information you’ll get until the expected release date, so I’m not taking any questions. Sorry, but I gotta go.

For the past few days, I’ve been working on something amazing, and I know you guys will love it. I’m not nearly finished, however. I’ll be spending all this week, and probably the weekend, preparing this spectacular surprise. No hints. No clues. No details.

I want this to be as great as it can possibly be.

Also, I find it amusing that people who advertise their site on the “Advertise” page are too stupid to read my comment. But such as in life, there are those who get it, and there are those who don’t.

Do NOT — under any exception — comment with a site that relates to doing nothing but posting Club Penguin updates. The page is meant for you to post real sites, sir. Club Penguin blogs are not real blogs.

They’re just…

                                                                    
A. A desperate cry for attention or popularity
                                                                    
B. Made because the owner’s life is so sad and
boring that’s all they have to write about
                                                                    
C. A monumental waste of time and effort
                                                                    
D. All of the above
                                                                    
E. All of the above with the excuse of calling it
“helping” when it’s really not
                                                                    

Blogs that are all about Club Penguin don’t help people. They help lazy people. When you make a Club Penguin blog, people treat you as a tool and not a real person.

Plus, lazy people are what bring down society; and I pretty much hate anyone who thinks its okay to encourage laziness. That’s just me.

Man, I’ve felt like crap all week. Soar throat, headaches, congestion…

Anyways, tomorrow, at our school, is a teacher’s work day. So, no school, just a three-day weekend. Thank God for that. I plan to enjoy this weekend, despite the rapid change in temperature. It went from an 88° high Monday to a 65° high this afternoon. Weird.

Also, I just finished reading a really good book the other day called “Flowers for Algernon”. You should check it out. There’s also a movie for it called “Charly”. The movie’s better, in my opinion.

I don’t have anything else to write about, so I’ll close for today.

In Canada, people sit down and thank God for everything provided to them, and gorge themselves with food. What a tradition!

In America, people are learning and appreciating the accomplishments of one of the greatest historical figures of all time; Columbus.

Mondays are a drag, huh?

Do realize that Mondays make up a seventh of your life.

Anyways, today in North Pole, I celebrated my penguin’s 365 birthday! It was a blast! I know now for a fact, despite all the naysayers, there are good people on Club Penguin. Thanks for coming guys.

I never liked scheduling parties on Club Penguin. You can never be sure that everything goes perfect. It’s stressful. I’ve only thrown, what, 2 other parties? My 10,000 Hits Party and my 301 Birthday Party and the impromptu party in my igloo, but that doesn’t apply.

Overall, a great day in my book. It’s surprising how the little things in life give you such a “pick-me-up”.

Not a very eventful week, so sorry I haven’t been writing entries for awhile. Although, yesterday, I went to my cousin’s 30th birthday party; which was a blast of course.

October is planned to be an eventful month in Club Penguin, however. It supposed to be the biggest month of the year. So many things are happening, I felt it right to hold my own Club Penguin celebration.

Tomorrow, my penguin is officially 365¼ days old; Cppd Officer’s 1st birthday! The party will be held in North Pole, from 3:10pm to 4:00pm Eastern Standard Time in my igloo. Sorry to non-members who can’t get into the server. I will take screenshots this time.

This is when I get home from school, so I cannot guarantee it will go 100% without a hitch. I’ll try all I can to show up, and make everything go as planned.

I hope everyone can make it. I’ll be on Club Penguin later tonight to set up decorations, in mix with my Halloween decorations.

Also, don’t forget tomorrow is Columbus Day, too!
(Thanksgiving, if you live in Canada) Mark your calenders!

See ya’ tomorrow!

Just as bad as online relationships, a branch of relationships on Club Penguin are becoming a serious problem in the game. Why this is my business? Sorry, I just have self-discipline. A problem, I know.

After letting players and bloggers know about me “voicing out” about Club Penguin relationships, they knew my opinions. Many people hated me for them. But those are the people I couldn’t care less about. 
Guess what? Boop – you’re on my ignore list.

Like any young man with a decent fair of knowledge, I confronted the problem at the source. Club Penguin Support.

Hello,

Thanks for the detailed e-mail.

First of all I would like to let you know that Club Penguin encourages “friendship” and a lot of penguins you see waddling around have simply created friendships. What we do not encourage are “romantic” relationships.

We are aware of the “online relationship” activity and have taken in depth looks at what can, and may be done. Through moderating, Club Penguin has the advantage of waddling beside fellow penguins and witnessing the popular activity and issues that arise. I would like to assure you that all inappropriate penguins receive bans on their accounts. We will continue to discuss this issue in depth until the best solution has been revealed.

Once again I would like to thank you for your support of Club Penguin. Penguins like you make the game better and have the ability to influence those around you.

If you have any other questions or suggestions, be sure to send them in an e-mail and we’ll be happy to help.

Sincerely,

Nathan B
Club Penguin Support

Howdy!

A rising concern/problem in Club Penguin today is “online relationships”. Doesn’t seem like much. But something like this is becoming wider and wider, more and more popular.  

It encourages false socialization skills — children think it’s O.K. to date strangers! Then they get in the real world and are socially confused. Others do it for fun, and put them self in risk/disappointment.

Penguins should be banned, and this should be your game’s 5th rule,
which should lead to improved filters, and removal of the heart emoticon.

Banning players for false relationships with one another has already become a practice in Ganz’s Webkinz World.

Why this is my concern? I don’t wanna see Club Penguin become more and more corrupt; with hacking, rule-breaking, etc. I would like to at least TRY to save this game from corruption.

Hope this affects you.

Sincerely,
Alex : Cppd Officer

Now do you understand me? Now do you get me? Now do you understand the ignorance of online relationships? Probably not. I bet out of the 200 readers of my last few posts, only 5 of them got it.

Relationships Contribute to Online Harassment?
Questions About Online Dating?

Howdy!

If you read “Questions About Online Dating?” you know how I feel about the subject. Don’t take it from me. I don’t just make these things up for the fun of it.

Yes, they are stupid. Yes they are pointless. Yes they are oblivious. And yes, they are really just relationships with a stranger.

But there is the danger of it all. The BIG danger. In school, we’re learning about harassment prevention, although, at my school, harassment isn’t a big problem. We talked about online bullying. See where I’m going with this?

Someone on the Internet is someone you don’t know. How can you trust them? You could spend all your time committed to a specific person, and you fail to realize who that person actually is.

They could really just want to harm you. They could really just want to solicit you, harass you, hurt you. Damage your life forever.

On the other hand; they could be desperate for companionship, or have bad relationships with their family, or have a bad social life.

That’s why online relationships make about as much sense as dating a complete stranger. Wait a minute… Hey, I guess nowadays, common sense is just meaningless, right?

Obviously this won’t affect everyone. Those are the people who have no social purpose. Those are the people who mean nothing to society. Not a damn thing.

Those are the people who I ignore to the fullest of my ability.

See ya’ tomorrow!

Today, September 30, last day of MLB, is also my father’s birthday.

It was okay. Especially the part where, heh, we went to
Dave & Buster’s in Cincinnati. How can they not be awesome?

After shoving my face with probably the most delicious fried shrimp I ever had, I blew 500 tickets on a Cincinnati Reds souvenir. Even if I could care less about them. At least I know what a Dave & Buster’s is like. I guess in some way, we’re all winners.

But, hey. I guess I do have a great life. Never did realize it until I could focus my mind away from the computer. I didn’t realize a blog is about what you want to do and not what you have to do.

Even if this blog is just about life.

As for now, I have to write my dad an I.O.U. sense I sadly couldn’t find any copies of the “Condemned”. Bye!

See ya’ tomorrow!

I’ll probably be the greatest philosophiser you’ll ever meet on the world wide web in your childhood. You can hate me for my opinions, but seriously, if I got my self-worth from a group of strangers on the Internet — I’d be one fucked up kid. So get a grip.

One topic that annoys the Hell out of me, is online relationships. What can they be defined as? What are their benefits? What’s the point?

Online relationships are mere figments of your imagination. They don’t exist, not really. That cute little 19 year old nymphet from Dallas is really a 36 year old computer programmer having a little fun. How can anything so intangible be real? It’s fake. All of it.

Possibly that’s a little extreme, but how can an online relationship ever be considered on par with anything that you experience in the infamous “real life”? How can a relationship be judged without physical interaction with a person? Text is text- A way of expressing emotions that sometimes don’t express themselves in the “real life”, but most of the time, it’s a virtual interaction with other virtual entities.

A cleverly written robot can seem the same as a “real” person. You can never guarantee who is behind that keyboard, if there is someone there at all. You can never guarantee who wrote that email, who sent you that “tell”, who that really is in that scanned photograph. So how can you justify a relationship with someone “online”? Exactly.

Yes, I’m a hypocrite. You can make the comparison that love is intangible, and hence falling in love with an intangible person can be just as relevant as falling in love with a “physical” person, but honestly, without touch, smell, sense, sight, pheromones interacting with each other… how can you be truly sure that you love someone?

Don’t get me wrong, love is not all about looks. It’s not about the way someone smells, or the way they dance the tango. It’s about the acceptance of a person as a whole, the feelings held for their mind, body and soul. An online love is just that – online. Of the ingredients of “love”, there is only the mind, and that at no guarantee. A soul and a body cannot be given over the Internet.

An online relationship relies on an inherent trust that stems from the ability to portray yourself, and others, as any entity you so wish, with the assumption that the trust given would not be abused. Not so. There is no limitation to what you can exaggerate, mold, squish and pull into any seeming facade. There’s no limit, bar your imagination to what you type and send across cyberspace.

Ultimately, there’s no penalty to your (inter)actions online insofar as the way you portray yourself, as long as you keep it online. There’s no worry that someone will judge you for how you look, how you talk, how you walk, where you were born, the race you were born as. There’s a certain freedom that you may “walk the halls” with no preconceived notions.

But there’s also the lack of acknowledgment of consequences, no penalty for lying. Not really. Sure, you can turn other virtual entities against you for the way you treat others, but switch off the monitor and you no longer have to look at their accusing text. Without having to look at them in the face, it loses some of the effect.

I can interact with my computer and simulate conversations I’ve held online with a fairly simple program. Sure, the conversation might not be quite so interesting, but I have the same guarantee talking to my program that I do talking to someone online- absolutely none at all.

There’s no question that an online relationship can be possible. What I question is the seeming ease that some can state that they “love” an online entity. One they’ve never met. I don’t understand how that can be possible. Any of it. All of it.

Don’t get me wrong, Internet relationships can be wonderful things, but they need to be accepted for what they really are – relationships with possibly like minded people, possibly of the age they portray, possibly of the gender they portray, and possibly of any other infinite number of things they tell you.

As for dating on Club Penguin, well, that’s a low I don’t like to discuss. If you were gonna base someones personality and well-being on a ¼” penguin avatar, I pity your sad life. Get off your ass and meet some real people. Sitting in your room chatting on a children’s game with someone you incoherently “love” isn’t going to make you any less lonely or miserable. It does the opposite.

See ya’ tomorrow!

Yay! Autumn is here! Today’s September 23rd
and that means…IT’S THE FIRST DAY OF FALL!

To celebrate you should…

• Sleep with a sweatshirt on all night
• Jump out of a tree into an imaginary leaf pile
• Yell “Fall” through a neighbor’s window
• Eat as many colorful leaves as you can find
• Plant 3–4 pumpkin seeds tonight

See ya’ tomorrow!

I gotta tell ya’ I remember showing you guys about how great fall was going to be? I was wrong. Dead wrong. Dead dead wrong.

It all started the day we went to the Troy, Ohio, Strawberry Festival. It was fun, and I never knew how tasty a strawberry burrito was. Then, our Methodist church held a “Fun Day” with games, food, and some inflatable slides. Pretty cool.

After THAT, was the greatest day of my life (so far) when our family went tubing and jet skiing on St. Mary’s lake all that day. *daydreams* Two weeks ago, my mom and I went to the Taste of Troy, which I said was just a gathering of Troy culture.

Last weekend, we went to the Ohio Heritage Festival, and today we went the Mum Festival in Tippecanoe, Ohio.

But it just gets better! (and better, and better, and better…)

Tonight, at 4:45 EST or so, the MCY Swim Team is holding a camp-out party on their farm. So much friggin’ fun. Activities, hot dogs on the fire, scavenger hunt — God, life is sweet.

I’ll be back around 11:00 tonight, but I’ll probably be sound asleep; so don’t worry about seeing me on Club Penguin.

Speaking of which, the Fall Fair has to be the greatest party of all time. Don’t you agree? I’m anxious to see the future prizes.

Hits are slowly steadying back up. That’s good news. Also, fellow bloggers, the new tag system sounds cool, so I plan to use them soon.

See ya’ tomorrow!

I hope I’m not the only one noticing a slight decrease in, uhh, “productivity” around here. I’m glad all the idiots, that just search my name hoping to find a Club Penguin site, are done coming here, but it’s starting to worry me a bit.

Comments are down. Views are down. Hits are down. Frustration up.

This is pathetic.

At first I just thought it was the new theme and people were just getting used to it. Man, was I wrong. This has been happening throughout August and September. A big “uh oh” sign.

Start advertising and start blogging – otherwise, this blog…is toast.

See ya’ tomorrow!

This theme, named “Fadtastic” is a great theme in my opinion. Organized, clean, professional. Of course, sadly, nothing is perfect.

There are difficulties with this theme, and a lot of annoyances. To write/edit/manage material, I have to go straight to my dashboard.

No tagline, no customizable header, no homepage tab. Damn.

But, on the other hand, this theme has a feature I mainly had my eyes on, among all the other amazing features – two sidebars.

Double the fun, right?

I updated my Q & A with some frequently asked questions, to save you some trouble of commenting. I’m all about making YOUR life easier. Always giving. That’s me all right.

See ya’ tomorrow!

Well, most of you know that I’ve been feeling really down about Club Penguin lately. It’s basically just falling apart at the seams. And I was focusing only on the negative things about Club Penguin, which made me so glad to quit.

But, after just opening my igloo in North Pole like usual, this whole swarm of penguins flooded my igloo. It made me feel glad because it told me that I actually made an impact to the game, I actually was of some importance. It showed me I wasn’t just some penguin whom people liked just because of their blog and popularity. Oh yeah, and the prestige wasn’t that bad either. You get my point.

I think unscheduled parties are better than planned one’s. I say this because if you plan a party, it might not always go as originally planned. People can’t make it, few show up, and sometimes even you can’t make it. But, yeah, I thought it was an excellent party. Just what I needed to renew my Club Penguin spirit.

Man, usually you’re hyped up about it being Friday and it’s the end of the week blah, blah, blah. But I’m am MORE then geared up for the weekend. I had the most annoying/stressful week of my life. And of course, swim practice didn’t help. I found out that this year we don’t have practice on Tuesdays.

Don’t get me wrong; I love swimming. But in a week like the one I had, it was a friggin’ relief. Our bathroom is almost finished, but our basement (where my brother and I sleep) is having to be moved around and vacuumed. I didn’t get to watch T.V. the other night, which means I wasn’t tired, and ended up grouchy the next morning.

So I hope you have a great weekend, and like I know I’ll do, don’t enjoy it too much or it’ll fly by too fast. That’s life.

See ya’ tomorrow!

~~Hugs and kisses,
Alex aka Cppd Officer

Howdy!

I know it’s only Tuesday, but I’ve gotta tell ya’, I’ve had better times. Lots more homework AND swimming practice AND helping my family remodel our bathroom. Too much for one kid to handle.

The irony is I’m learning about stress management in Health, and that bullshit ain’t working. Guess I just have to cope with it.

I also tried choosing the new theme, Digg 3 Column, which I thought was really cool. But the sidebars are too thin, and I have too many pages. I think it’s a perfect theme for newer blogs. Plus, the header doesn’t show the tagline — just the title (which is all capitals) on top of the header image. I definitely prefer this theme, even if it does get boring after awhile.

Time to go to practice. *sigh* I know not all of you live in the greatest country in the world (USA) but if you do, just take some time to remember the 2,974 people who unwillingly died. I mean, how the hell were they supposed to know what was gonna happen. A moment of silence will do. Not because you have to, not because I told you to, (which I didn’t, go figure) or because you think it’s right. It is, but you need to do it because…you’re human. That’s it. That should be your only motivation.

See ya’ tomorrow!

I’m not one for sports. Baseball and wrestling — that’s about it. But, also as a hobby, I swim on the Miami County YMCA’s swim team. This would be my second year, so I’m not that good. My best stroke is freestyle, and, like running, I’m better at sprints rather than long-distance swims. Today, around 3pm or so, I have to go to an open house. So I won’t be here then. I hope for a great season!

Also, give yourself a pat on the back (but don’t break your spine) ’cause we reached 50,000 hits! Impressive. We’re halfway towards my all time goal; 100,000 hits!

And to those who are all worked up flying this Tuesday, (9/11) get real. Why would the terrorists attack the country on the one day where security is at its highest? Tch. I gotta take my dog to get her nails cut Tuesday. So relax.

See ya’ tomorrow!

Well, we all hate ending summer. School starts, days are shorter, it gets colder and colder. But me…nah. Autumn or “Fall” is my favorite season. Not too hot. Not too cold. Not too bright. Not too gloomy. There’s always a nice breeze about, carrying the smell of rain and fresh air. Leaf-piles to jump in, and the sound of the wind in the distance.

Sorry for sounding poetic. I do enjoy being able to wear my favorite sweat-jacket again. So fall isn’t that bad. Today, we went to Troy, Ohio’s “Taste of Troy”, a gather of art, music, and food — to celebrate the town’s rich culture. Then my mother and I went to a swap meet to say “Hi!” to my aunt and uncle. (My parents wouldn’t lemme take home one of their blue tick hounds…) That’s about all we did there. It started to get hot and sticky, and I was tired.

I think I’m ready for the greatest season of the year.

Also, I thought about something. And I (myself, me, your’s truly) brought up an answer to the long-asked question, I asked myself. No one answered it, and no one shows any signs of trying to answer it, so I guess my opinion can’t be argued!

Q. “What’s the point of having a Club Penguin blog?”
A. “It has nothing to do with popularity. It has nothing to do with trying to be famous. It has nothing to do with helping people. The truth is, people make Club Penguin blogs because their lives are so dull and boring, they have nothing else to blog about, besides Club Penguin! There ya’ go.”

Wow! It’s so obvious, why didn’t I think of it before!

Anyone play or heard of the mainstream game, Guitar Hero? (1, 2, Encore)

I never heard of it, and I thought you had to actually know how to play a guitar to play the game. My brother got it for his 17th birthday.

Like all things I do, I sucked at first. I mean I SUCKED on Easy! But you know, after a week or so, I got better. I spent a long time on Medium cause I was like “there is no way in hell I could nail the orange note!” But then we rented the newest version–Guitar Hero Encore “Rocks the 80’s” and I tried medium, but it got boring. So boring…

I ended up trying some easy songs on Hard; “Turning Japanese”, “No One Like You”, etc. It was O.K. and I had to do to practice for a few solos, but I could handle it.

After awhile I could do more and more songs, and then we had to take it back, so I was sad again. Frustated because I was stuck on medium, I tried a few songs on Hardwith an “eh…” reaction. 3 stars usually. I tried Career mode on Hard, the best practice you can get is by actaully doing something. I beat the game, and ended up taking only 3 tries at Free Bird. Star Power can save your ass. The bonus tracks (except “Six”) were fairly easy.

Today, I just play songs on Hard mode, and that’s it. Rarely with my brother. Especially since the guitar controller my brother got, a red Frontman Wireless controller, got broken, we’re down to one. Which… sucks.  Enjoy your weekend! Oh and by the way, I added a new video. It’s really funny and obviously worth watching!

See ya’ tomorrow!

Best fuckin’ day of my life. That’s my summary.

The whole day was awesome, (except the getting up at 8′ in the morning part) and I wouldn’t go back in time to change a thing.

We didn’t get to go fishing, but I think inner-tubing and jet-skiing on a WaveRunner made up for it. No wait, I know it made up for it. A family (friend of ours) went with us, and they brought their jet-skis, it was friggin sweet!

We ate at McDonald’s for breakfast, and Pizza Hut for lunch. Lemme tell ya’ — the bright red roof seems a lot more noticeable on a WaveRunner in the middle of a lake; especially when you’re hungry. I got a lil’ sun-burned, but that’s okay. I don’t mind.

What I do mind is that the weekend is over already, and school starts again tomorrow. But I always try to stay optimistic; only four days of school this week.

The rest of the day (as I’m typing) went well. But I gotta go now.

See ya’ tomorrow!

P.S. Tubing in real life is harder than Ballistic Biscuit in Club Penguin.

Well, as some of you know, tomorrow (Monday, September 3rd) is Labor Day. The day we celebrate working…by not working. Anyways, my family and I are going fishing out in St. Mary’s lake, about an hour away from Piqua. I love boating, and fishing, but when you combine the two, you get this fuzzy feeling inside.

I think it’s the perfect end to summer, don’t you agree? I’ll be back Tuesday.

So, see ya’ then!

I hope you all enjoy the new page, it took me almost 2½ days to finish. It features some cool things, some are interactive, most are just for looking at.

Either way, though, I think it was worth the work. As more time passes, I will add things to the page. But it’s hard trying to find widgets that work for WordPress, ’cause they don’t accept hardly HTML codes. But I’ll try my best.

Other then that, I would love to hear your feedback, and if you have suggestions of widgets you know that work (and I stress the words “know” and “work”) leave your suggestion! Enjoy your weekend, I know I will with Labor Day off.

See ya’ tomorrow!

O.K. so here’s the deal. My blog is supposed to be a fun alternative to regular blogs/forums that can get way outta hand. Cursing, flamers, spammers, and Internet-trolls (people who go around saying nasty and/or rude things. So I have set up TWO filter systems.

The first one is set up by Askimet and followed by Terms and Conditions, brought to you by my Copyright Protection provider, Copyscape. If it doesn’t make it through, it gets sent to Spam and eventually deleted.

If it makes it through, it goes into my Moderation Queue. There, I moderate comments, personally. If I don’t like it for any reasons…

→ Asks stupid question
→ Negative
→ Pointless comments
→ Posts a website I don’t like (no matter content)
→ Asks why or gets angry because their comments are getting deleted
→ Unfiltered flame, Spam, etc.

…it will get deleted. So there ya’ go.

And as for post categories, they are rated on awesome-ness.

• Terrible | * | Worse rating, usually on a really negative subject…
• Bad | ** | A post on a subject I dislike…
• Good | *** | Decent post, not bad and not great…
• Great | **** | A really cool post that’s filled with good vibes!
• Excellent | ***** | The best rating, a post about something that’s amazing!

Any questions, leave ‘em here or on the Questions & Answers page.

In case you didn’t already know, I started school last Wednesday, making today the first week of school. For me, of course. Some of you haven’t started yet, and think I start early. Well, I got out June 4th, only because of calamity days. (I was supposed to get out the 31st of May). So yeah. I’m not a big fan of school, but eighth grade is something I wasn’t prepared for. It was a big leap from seventh. So many binders and books; it’s insane!

I have a wide-range of readers, so not all of you are in the same grade as me/eachother. But lemme just say, whether or not you’re in Middle School, J.H., or High School, locker shelves are your best friend. First of all, they’re cheap. Second, they are the ULTIMATE organization tool. I think they’re a life-saver. Kids are already getting a detention for not having assignments on the first week of school.  Sad, huh?

I gotta go, but let me know what you’re doing to prepare for school, or tips of your own if you’re already in school. 5 down, 175 to go.

Today, Tuesday the 28th, many people stood in aw, viewing a total lunar eclipse this morning around 6am EST.

I got up at about that early, stepped outside, and with a telescope took a photo of what I saw. Amazing? Yes.

This photo is extraordinary in many ways. I tried to get another picture when I was going to school, but it was gone. I don’t know who all could see it, or who all saw it when. So don’t ask me, comprenda?

But congrats to those who were lucky enough to see it. I believe the next one is early next year. Google it.

See ya’ tomorrow!

I have thought some things over. A Club Penguin blog is something of a majority (over 10,000 and still rising.) I don’t know. Maybe it’s just to be popular. But the thing is, Club Penguin is a childish game. The sign up age-selection screen says 6-17, but honestly, if you’re playing that game when your older than 14–you seriously need a reality check. And some people (not mentioning names) are just too stupid to figure it out. All they care about is being popular. And to those who call it “helping”, please I’ve heard better excuses. You think you’re helping, and in some cases you care, but most of the time you’re not. You’re just setting your own self up for something you get addicted to, and setting yourself up for disappointment. Cause whether you’re helping or not, there will always be people who wanna copy you, discourage you, etc.  So why do it? I never got an answer to that question, and I’ve been asking for it for almost 5 months. And when you have a Club Penguin blog, you only appeal to one general audience; Club Penguin players. Lame.

So from this point on, this blog will not be a CP-blog. Instead I would like to follow in the footsteps of one of my favorite idols, even if she’s a technical stranger to me. Holagurrl25. I don’t care what you think of her, cause quiet frankly, I don’t give a rat’s-ass about your negative insinuations. About me, about her, about anyone else. This blog will be like her’s; a project in management, referencing the real life and online world. Maybe throw in a lil’ of Socool and a lil’ of Dunya13’s ideas. A giant pie of intelligence, and logic.

All three of the girl’s I mentioned (it’s weird how they’re all the same gender) buckled down and GREW UP. 10,000 of you haven’t. Sometimes being apart of a majority is good, but in this case…nah. Here’s my advice to you.

Hey!

Well this site is I gotta say–not boring! I hope you all will love the new design, as there is one more change I must do:

Make all the posts go bye-bye.

From the very first post to this post–all gone. Why? Cause we don’t need ‘em anymore! I will make a post named “Welcome!” with everything you’ll need to (and probably already) know about this site.

NOTE WELL: The posts and comments are not getting deleted. They’re being turned into drafts. They will be changed as of July 16.

And how’s the water party goin’ for ya! My favorite decoration is the Dance and Splash fountains added to the Night Club. I also like the water bucket at the Mines. What’s your favorite change? What do you think of the Umbrella Hat?

Hey, hey, hey!

It’s not fat Albert. Anywhosin’, Pixel Penguin V.3.0 is released! It’s the last installment of Pixel Penguins, so the title was reduced.

Version 3.0 will include…

• Puffles!
• More and more new clothes!
• Twice as many backgrounds!
• Limited Addition Halloween items!
• Raised limit to 5!

The sidebar has been re-organized, and I took down the Meebo and whos.amung.us widgets. The whos.amung.us widget might be back, but the Meebo should already be on the sidebar. Also, we’re gonna drop the CPPD. No more comments about it, and more more comments about the changes I made. Just leave those comments HERE or the previous post. Any comment not about the page, about the CPPD, or about changes I made are subject to being deleted or edited. (Which is why all comments go into moderation now.) And soon, all the post will be DELETED. Every post, first to last. Don’t ask why, you’ll be answered when I make this last change. PLUS: Lolz, have you noticed I changed my avatar to something more “fitting”. I’ll make the last official post soon.

AND I’M NOT QUITTING ANYTHING! BIG BOLD SENTENCE!

~*~Cppd Officer~*~
Love it or shove it!

And the clock strikes midnight… But seriously I’m tired but this is the only time I can make these updates without getting interrupted half way through.

I changed a lot of things, but this is only the beginning. Pixel Penguins V.3.0 will be released soon, too. As for the CPPD, well there never really was a purpose, plus it was under-appreciated, so shutting it down wouldn’t change a thing huh? I’ll be changing the page soon, and will be adding a new page as well. So you’re just gonna have to sit back and wait. And I can’t believe how many hits we got so far!

April 1st = 10,000 hits

May 31st = 20,000 hits

July 10th = 32,643 hits?

Well, good night everyone, good morning everyone, good evening everyone… I hate timezones. See ya’ tomorrow, or later today, or…you get my point. Lolz, and yes, french toast is my favorite breakfast meal.

Hi!

Two days–two days. Still no answer to my question. I guess that means, no one has the brains (or the guts) to answer. So, I think I’ll do it for you.

“What is the point of having a Club Penguin blog, again?”

“Well, it is simply to give information already known by the public to supposedly ‘help them’.”

“But if it’s already known information, why do they called it ‘helping’?”

“To get publicity of course. The great race to have lots of hits and become popular. Like a friend of mine once said, that’s what Club Penguin feeds off of.”

“Oh, I get it now. People make blogs about Club Penguin so they can post usless information, call it ’helping’, then get popular.”

“Correct. And they do other pointless things like give out secrets to lazy people, or start dumb gangs to get even more hits. They also do organized contests to get attention even though the prize is bullshit. That’s coming from the bloggers point-of-view. Does that answer your question?”

“Yeah. The Internet’s economy sucks, huh? Well, gotta go!”

I’m not just saying it about other blogs–it’s about my blog, too. It’s about ALL Club Penguin blogs. Popular or unpopular, big or small. Now call this post a knock off or a copycat of Holagurrl25’s old post “The Truth”. I couldn’t care less, because no matter what you call it, it’s still the truth.

I’m not quitting my blog, nor am I making any serious changes to it. The one big change–no more Club Penguin updates. And the home page will be changed to. This post won’t even be here eventually. Only time will be silent, so how will you tell? Free speech, or should I say “speak for free”.

Well, I’m back, and the trip was moderately adequate. We didn’t work as much as I thought. Guess that’s a good thing. Eh. I hope you had an awesome Independence Day. Mine was cool with a capital “k”. Shoulda I say fun? Lolz. First, my mom and dad my eggs, ham, french toast (my favorite), and beef hash. Yum… Then I finished World 8 in “New Super Mario Bros.” (birthday gift) and we watched “Transformers” WHICH WAS INTENSE! It was really awesome, except I had to pee twice during the movie it was so long. Diet Coke goes right though me. Megatron was huge! Well, it was an amazing movie, and I recommend it to everyone to go see it. Then we went to my cousins and had a BBQ. And for the rest of the night, we rode four-wheelers in the back field. Fun-fun-fun.

We didn’t see fireworks though, Club Penguin had some fireworks Wednesday. They also released the July catalog, and brought back the Sombrero and other new junk. The Mining Helmet is back and is put in the flooded Mine Shaft. Speaking of Club Penguin…

 I have to ask this one, and only, question few answer, but leaves me curious.

“What is the purpose of having a Club Penguin blog, again?”

I mean, it sounds easy to answer. But when you think about it, you’re stunned. I can’t answer it. Club Penguin already has a blog with updates, so why go though the time and make your own?

  Aren’t they called secrets so you can find them YOURSELF, therefore, why keep the page?

If all the glitches were removed, why leave them posted?

No one uses my F.A.Q. page, so why keep it up?

If everyone just copies the idea of my pics, why leave that page up?

No one gives a damn about me, so why tell them about myself on the “About Me” page, even though no one cares?

What was the purpose of the CPPD? Everyone just steals the idea, and EVEN THOUGH I said the CPPD was closing, people STILL email me and comment asking to join?

I think that was my last update ’cause why should I waste my time–and more importantly–why should YOU waste your time posting already known information? It just seems pointless! I don’t know if my quitting, but I do I’m not gonna be able to enjoy the Friday updates if I have to write about them to you. I want ONE GOOD answer to my previously quoted question. Then I might get back to you guys. ‘Till then, I probably won’t be checking comments or making updates. I will be making the ordered pixel penguins though, soon.

Some more bad news, when my brother goes to college, he’ll be taking the fast laptop. Which, as you know, is bullshit, leaving me and my brother stuck with the non-responsive, slow, unreliable connected laptop. He’s leaving August 17th, so that could be the deleting date for this site. And by “delete” I mean leave–not delete. Kinda like Sanity’s site. I’m sure my 300th birthday party will be before then. And I have no clue when my membership expires, so I don’t have an exact date for which I will be quitting Club Penguin. If the membership expires after November of this year, I’ll probably give it out via. Piczo, Bribble, Club Penguin, OR come back here. I dunno. But what I do know is that I got pizza to eat and a Mario game to play. Peace!

Howdy!

Hooray! I finally get a break from blogs, and Club Penguin. My family is going to south Georgia just to visit my mom’s family, and to help sell my great-grandmama’s house. We will be leaving Friday at midnight so we can sleep on the way there. We will be back next week.

And tomorrow… is my 13th birthday! I can’t wait! I won’t be having a party, so don’t worry.

I doubt I’ll be on the Internet tomorrow, so I won’t make a Friday update post. The newspaper says the only thing that’ll happen is that they will add new post cards. But if they do anything else, comment here, and I’ll make a post when we come back. I think this break from blogging and playing Club Penguin will do me good. You can still order a Pixel Penguin, but I have something special to plan for the business when I get back. Feel free to ask any questions about anything. Peace!

P.S. Club Penguin added a new poll to their homepage. Go check it out!

Hi

Holagurrl25 really left. Her blog is deleted and her Bribble is ruined. All the mods were removed and there are no rules. I wouldn’t recommend going there, unless you wanna chat with a bunch of weirdo’s who will spam, advertise, and cuss you out. I think she shouldn’t of removed it cause I though it was really fun chatting there. She even named it “The Dead Chat”! Holagurrl25 will still go on Club Penguin very rarely, almost like Vital Viper. But she’s gone, and gone for good.

♥ Bye-Bye Holagurrl25! ♥

Rockhopper pulled ashore today, but didn’t bring anything worth-wild. No furniture either. He brought a pair of Blue Flippers, but those really only look good if you were around to pick up his Blue Snorkel. And to top it all off, Rockhopper brought back the Red Bandana! Now, older non-members don’t even get a free item!

Located in the Boiler Room, they placed a crate of water ballons near the door, so I’m assuming they’ll be released next Friday. As for now, they’re useless.

And the new pin, a picnic basket, is behind the couch in the Ski Lodge.

Howdy!

I am happy to annouce the release of the newest Pixel Penguin version! I know ya’ll will love it, and I hope you stop by and order one so we can reach 100 penguins. Sorry C0median and Cpd Officer, you’ll have to reorder.

Pixel Penguin V.2.0 will feature:

• New Backgrounds

• Removal of old Backgrounds

• New Nametag Colors

• New Clothes

• New home-made clothes (You won’t find anywhere else!)

• New Limited Addition items

• New penguin Colors

And here are some side notes that I couldn’t fit into all your comments.

Nintendo Pro, the winner of the contest already claimed their prize. Sorry, you don’t get the 10,000 coin bonus.

Agent Pengee, you’ll need some reasons you wanna join. I would love to make you a deputy, or maybe an officer if you play your cards right.

Alright, I’m sick of this. Officer Ziehen, what do you want me to do? Retire Kimimaru Bla? Ya that’s kinda what I was thinking due to his inactivity. I will give until Sunday to come one Club Penguin more than twice, or comment here (I’ll check IP’s to varify his identity). And Bori Bull will be retired Sunday no matter what. So their will be spots on the CPPD team. I’m leaning towards Deputy Tyboy000, but we’ll just have to wait and see. Also I’ll be having plans for the CPPD once it’s closed that will answer your quote, Officer Ziehen. Hold ya’ horse, will ya?

Holagurrl25 has yet to be spotted (by me) so I haven’t talked to her YET. If her decision is final, she’ll be deleting her blog tomorrow. Jeez, I wish I didn’t like her so much.

Also tomorrow, Rockhopper will be arriving to our shores. I wonder what cool items he’ll bring tomorrow. And I guess Yarr picked up a taste for surfing! Be sure to be here tomorrow for the weekly update.

Yo!

Well, this has been really hectic for me. I need to set aside some time to breathe.

First and foremost, I don’t know anything about Holagurrl25’s decision. She hasn’t made any posts and she hasn’t been on Bribble. She was on Club Penguin a few days ago, but that’s the only contact I’ve made with her. So do not ask me. Her choice is still a mystery.

And the Pixel Penguin business is becoming way to confusing for me because, it is working, but it is stressful. I have Pixel Penguins v.4 downloaded on my old laptop, which is very slow and extremely unreliable. Therefore, I’m sorry to say, it’s down for good. But, it’s not leavin’ without a fight.

The Pixel Penguins that was ordered will not be made. However– I will take 10 more orders. That’s it. It doesn’t matter if you already ordered one from before. Once you’ve ordered, you can’t order again, so make your last one count. The ninth Pixel Penguin ordered will be replaced with the Ninja Pixel Penguin, and the tenth Pixel Penguin ordered will be replaced with the CPPD Pixel Penguin. All your orders will go into moderation, so you won’t know who wins. All the new and original orders will be listed here, but order on the Pixel Penguin page. I have new ideas for a page that’ll be less hard on me, but’ll be less interactive with you guys. I apologize, but I’m just freaked with stress right now. It’ll be a lot easier for all of us.

Which leads us to my last point, the CPPD. I said at 3,000 members, I would close. But I’ve changed my mind. Next Wednesday, the Club Penguin Police Department will be closed to all entries. The team will remain the same (unless someone gets fired or quits) and the current deputies can keep their badge. But, unless I say so, the current deputies will remain deputies. After Wednesday, any comment asking to join the CPPD or asking to become an officer will be deleted. So this is your last week to join. That’s it.

Any questions, suggestions, or ideas you might have, comment here. Peace!

*UPDATE: Oh my golly! I’m soooo excited! I was surfing the web and I found Pixel Penguins V.7!!! Which means my Pixel Penguin business will live on! Forget the second and third paragraphs. And Cpd Officer, I’ll get you your order tomorrow, or you can change it tomorrow. I’ve blocked the page again so I can update the catalog. This I’ll be so much easier ’cause Pixel Penguin V.7 works on my WindowsVista™. Bye now!

Hey!

(Sorry, all outta rice crispies)

Well, I’ll be a hog-tied whisper willow on a cheeseburger with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and a side of fries–Holagurrl25 changed her mind! Kinda…  According to And you thought it was over! :p ©, she still will be with us. She’ll be checking emails, moderating comments, and sometimes popping up in Bribble, but for the most part; nothing’s changed. She decided not to delete her blog. *sigh* Holagurrl25 will still be playing Club Penguin and adding/deleting buddies (I gotta find her, quick!).

But in all seriousness, I’m glad she’s back, and I’m glad she’s decided to move on at the same time. We can’t all play Club Penguin or have our blogs forever (or at least I hope so) so we’ll all have to move on eventually, right? She might be having a going-away party, but that’s up to you to vote–on her site of course. And some of you think it was just a blog. But it’s more than that. I didn’t wanna see Holagurrl25 leave because she is such a great and kind person, who helped a lot of people. How often do you come across someone like that on the Internet? Not too often.

Also, the Summer Party ‘07 is coming to a close, and they haven’t decided to extend it yet. I can’t find any more free items, but I’ll be on the look-out. I really wish the Water Wings would be re-released. Oh well. But the month is gonna be jammed pack with Rockhopper’s visit next week, the new mission, and my 13th birthday! Good bye!

*UPDATE: Man, now I know why Holagurrl25 is a runner, I can’t keep up with her posts! Holagurrl25 has given us a FIVE day count-down ’till she deletes her site. The decision isn’t final, so don’t be amazed to see her blog on Saturday. But I hate to see her go… Go to her site and read her newest, newest post.

Hi…

Some bad news here..umm..Holagurrl25…has decided to quit. She made a post describing it, and it might be the last post her site…forever.

She said not to be sad… “If you’re sad about this post, think about why you’re sad. If it’s because you liked me, well think of how obsesive you’ve gotten. You’re feeling sad that a stranger with a blog quit a game. Be above that feeling. CP is a game, not you’re life…” but she was a great person and made us all feel good about ourselves.

I was at the conversation last night where we talked about it.
I think this would be partly my fault. I’ve always
talked about quitting, but Holagurrl25 is
really setting the bar. But uhh.. I would like to make
a few comments about Holagurrl25, a true friend.
I met Holagurrl25 about 7 months ago, I’ve had my
blog for about 5 months. And when I was starting my
blog some people told me it wouldn’t draw any
visitors and I would always be a no body, never become
anything. But Holagurrl25 gave me the chance to prove myself.
And no body would do that but Holagurrl25 believed in me,
she gave me that chance. And soon after, my blog picked,
I became more well known, and I never gave up thinking about
all that she did for me. It’s all thanks to Holagurrl25– my
blog, my friends, etc. All thanks..to her. It might
just be a dumb blog and a dumb kids game about penguins, but
she has bonded with some of us in a good way and
others in a negative way. I’ve had a bumpy round
with Holagurrl25, filled with bad intensions, mistakes,
and broken friendships. But through it all, she gave me
a second chance. She gave everyone a second, which
was why she was so great. She had all the emotions someone
would want into a person. But, she is right, we all have to move
on even if it means giving up people who care about you.
I won’t be quitting for awhile because I enjoy Club Penguin–
its fun, the games are great, and its a way to keep in touch
with friends. Plus, I have a long-term membership, and I want
a blog thats worth rememberance–like this one. I will
never forget this blog, and though I was removed from her
buddy list (and we didn’t really leave on the greatest of emotions),
it would be a pleasure to meet her on Club Penguin one last time…

I don’t know when I’ll quit this blog and leave everyone behind me. I’ve made some great friends and strange enemies. But we have to move on, and just appreciate what she’s done for us. When I quit, I want not to be remembered by strangers, but to be remembered by you, my fans–my friends. This weblog is still in it’s prime, and I have plans for it in the future, so I’m not quitting right away. Holagurrl25 really set the standard for all of us. Without her, will her legacy still be around? I hope so. But for the rest of us, we need to think about all she’s done, and not be sad about it, but be proud about it. She was a great person, and an even better person.

I will never forget Holagurrl25 and all that she’s done for me, and all that she has accomplished. I will always heart her.

Bye Holagurrl25!

Howdy!

Well, the Summer Party ‘07 is winding down, but still is in full swing. The free items are great, the music is awesome, and the decorations are fantastic! And now they’ve added two new clothing items! The Green Sunglasses (replicas of the Red Sunglasses released at the Valentine’s Party ‘06) are in the Night Club, and the Flower Headdress (which I predicated would be released) is found at the Beach.

The new furniture catalog is pretty awesome, too. They added a whole new section (excluding Barbecue) of summer, fun-filled furniture. I love all of it, and I’ve decorated my igloo special for summer. They brought back the ol’ Bamboo Hut upgrade perfect for summer. And as a follow up, they introduced a Bamboo Flooring. I’m having a hard-time finding secrets–other than the thrown and the Snow Globe–so if you have any secrets, post ‘em here! They’ve also added some new music, so keep a look-out for that.

And for those Holagurrl25 fans–her party was awesome! Boy, it was crowded!I like her parties because they move around, which can also cause confusion. I left the party before the Limbo game. Sorry for those who couldn’t make it. Some people couldn’t make it, though, because they live in Europe. But, if Holagurrl25 scheduled adjusted for them, the party would be really late at night for others. Not everything can be scheduled the right way for everyone. Here are the party-pics I was lucky enough to be in, circled in red. For all the pics, read ~*~Party!~*~ ©.

Yo guys & gals!

I’m sure you already know, but the third item has been released. It’s umm… a Green Inflatable Duck. It’s exactly like last year’s Yellow Inflatable Duck, and it’ll do that swimming dance, only its green. It’s at the bottom corner of the Cove.

I still like the yellow one better though. Still, it’s better then nothin’!

And according the the Club Penguin blog, there is SO much more planned for the month of June. They haven’t said if they’re gonna extend the party yet. Hope they do!

 ”Hello Penguins!

If you haven’t already heard, the new Green Duck Floatie has been released and is available to everyone! You can find it floating in the cove!

In other news: I wanted to give you an update on some of the HUGE things planned throughout the summer! I can’t spoil all the fun so I can’t tell you more than this right now. All I can give you are some hints of what is coming up. Keep checking the Newspaper for more details on when these are happening…

• A Huge Water Party!
• Updates and new levels to your favorite games!
• New Clothing!
• New Igloos!
• New Furniture!
• A New Mission!
• A Camping Party (a brand new way to experience the outdoors of Club Penguin!)
• Visits from Captain Rockhopper!
• And MUCH MORE!!

I don’t know about you, but I’m really excited about this summer. Its going to be a blast!

Until then…Waddle on!

 P.S. The Pixel Penguin business is going great. I hope ya’ll get one! Oh, and I’ll be getting a new email soon and I’ll be able to answer your emails much faster.

Hi!

I hope by now you’ve noticed the newest page–Pixel Penguins! I told you I had a surprise in store, and now it’s goin’ public! For all your Pixel Penguin questions and needs, go to the page now entitled “Pixels ©.”

Many site’s have featured a Pixel Penguin business including Cp-Dude, Berryc00l, etc. Even Holagurrl25 has a Pixel Penguin business. Except hers is homemade and hand-done with Paint. I saw her page and was amazed at how organized it was layed out. So, if I ever made a Pixel Penguin business, I’d set it up like hers because of the admiration of her “system”. So you may see many similarities between our businesses. You might even think I copyrighted her. I ensure you, I did it my own way. The one polar opposite is that Holagurrl25’s is homemade, mine are downloaded. But note, this business is modeled after Holagurrl25’s business. All credit is given to her.

I hope you all love this new feature I’ve installed into my site. And like I said, go to the Pixels © page for all your questions, ideas, comments, etc. Peace!

P.S. Some new plans for this site other then this new business. The CPPD will be closing to newcomers once we reach 3,000 members. Current members will be able to keep their badge and deputy status, but no one will be able to join or be added to the Club Penguin Police Department team. And I assure, there will be plenty more new things prepared for this site.

Hey!

What’d I tell ya’? This summer party is awesome! There are so many things to cover! (All picture kudos to Holagurrl25 because for some reason, no one’s around when she takes her screenshots.)

First and the easiest to cover, the new pin is a surfboard located at the Lighthouse Beacon.

And so far there are two free items. The Blue Lei is back and can be found at the Ski Village. And the other free item is an Ice Cream Apron located in the Forest. But there’s gonna be plenty more free items released throughout the party.

They changed the Coffee Shop into the “Coconut Café.” Too bad you can’t throw coconuts at people.

And they have limbo at the Night Club. This pic just shows Holagurrl25’s “sense of humor.” Maybe I should give a go at this limbo game.

And the Club Penguin is back and better then ever with their new drums! They can be found right outside the Lighthouse.

The giant octopus is back again from last years party. I wasn’t there but I guess your supposed to drill it? Eh, I don’t care.

And if you go the Book Room, you can see the giant straw that’s sticking outta the Coconut Café. Go take a look-see.

Thought it couldn’t get better? WRONG! They actually made a giant ice castle–mote and all–at the Docks! Hope the rare penguins at Mammoth don’t get too upset.

And lastly, the Iceberg has been decorated, and they set up the volleyball net around a string of palm trees. I especially like the lava lamp surfboard.

Before I go, I’d like to share this discovery that many of you already know. They added the Forest and Cove the headquarters’ moniters, but for some unfathomable reason, there’s a blank moniter.  Weird, huh? Guess that means another new room. Also, there’s plenty more new stuff comin’ up in the party like Rockhopper’s arrival, some game updates, and a new event having something to do with waterfights. See ya’ll next week.
