So FurFright was well pretty good even though the management this year was different from last year and well...this year's management sucked! A lot of furs, including myself complained a lot. Well, I did the fursuit bucket brigade a lot as well collecting donations for the charity "War Dogs" which belicbear aka Papa Bear and Silvermane were shocked to see how much money I have gotten for the charity. So, during the closing ceremonies Belic made a personal thanks to me for helping out so much and collecting the most money out of the suiters who did the bucket brigade. Which then later Belic and Silvermane told me that I will be getting a free pass into FurFright next year! ^_^ So, yeah I am doing this journal now at the hotel before the PCD aka post con depression slaps me in the face later. Man, I am so glad I am not working today. ^^; Also, I want to thank everyone who I met at FurFright, old friends and new ones alike. :-) You guys made this rubber gentleman wolf very happy so I hope I get to see you furs later! *hugs and bows*

Later everyone and hope to see you guys again at FurFright 2010!

PS: Pics of me in fursuit will be posted shortly when I find pics.

I know I should have posted this last week but this was a post I made on my FA:

"Before I say it, me and Rukario had a chat about how things are going between us and well other than seeing each other at the cons, he admitted that we have drifted too far apart to stay as mates. So, it is sad news that me and Rukario are no longer together. Rukario admitted that he failed to keep me happy and with his work and going to all those cons, it was impossible of me to get down to NYC to stay with him for a few days. It hit me really bad yesterday at work when I snapped at another worker and I ended telling Rory Coon (My roommate) the news and I ended up leaving work early because it was messing with me very badly.

But, before you guys start to play the blame game, (Oh it was your fault Axel that things fell through between you and Rukario.) or (Rukario ruined a good chance with a relationship with a good guy like you, Axel.) just stop! Me and Rukario are going to stay as close friends. I know it is going to be a long time before I can find someone who shares a lot of things I do, which Rukario admitted he didn't shared much with me. Also, if you are going to start a flame war against me or Rukario, just do me a favor and unfriend me from everything you have me on. Either being here, AIM, Yahoo, DA, etc. I know this day was going to happen and I am not going to deal with assholes who want to make me and/or Rukario miserable. It is with that I now putting a big DOUBT on going to MFF and not using my vacation time since I am NOT going to spend the whole damn week stuck at home with nothing to do! It will drive me into madness.

I would say something about my fursuit head issue, but I do not want assholes (You know who you guys are!) slammed me about it like T.S. (If you figure out who those initials are just keep it to yourself!) about the money. But I am still thinking out what to sell to help me out with the head issue which I am thinking of selling my PS2 but I doubt I will get much. Anyways, I will be back whenever.

Axel"

The new poll of the FFFF is up! Vote for your favorite wolf! ^_^

Here is the link: http://community.livejournal.com/fursuittourney/

You have to have a LJ account to vote. You can easily just make one, join the community vote and then leave. Here are all the vids of me from FWA this year, AC and Furfright last year:

FWA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJseoFQU7kY - Fursuit dance competition
Anthrocon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VW7ihSaUWi8 - Masquerade with Furball2k and Ikari Yalter
Furfright: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwTz0bYwkFE - Team fursuit games

Good luck for those who are still competing!

I just wish Anthrocon gets here so I can be with my jackal! <3

This was taken from Furfright last year during the team fursuit games: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBTazrVXxq8

Okay, I HAD to be the one to get the one word that EVERYONE should have gotten since 90% of the room was GAY, which was the word I had to get. Look at 1:34 through 2:04 when I started. Plus, when I was in line waiting for my turn, the two suiters in front of me talked about someone in the charades was going to get the word "gay" and luck befallen me I had to be the one to get the word. XD

Well, I have another vid of me dancing in the fursuit danceoff at FWA this year that antimon got: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4gjyl-H7ps

If you see me at the end of the dance, I was beginning to get really messy. Also, during the award ceremony I dragged myself back to the green room. Just to let you guys know who went to FWA that I was not a sore loser but I was suffering from heat exhaustion and needed to get out of my fursuit before I passed out. The last thing I wanted was to let my mate, Rukario and my roommates know that I was at one of the hospitals in Atlanta. Luckily, I knew I hit my danger zone and got out of there before I went to do something very dangerous. I learned alot from that experience since it was my second dance competition I was in (The first being at Furfright last year.). So yeah, I will be competing at the Anthrocon's dance competion in a few months but I will watch myself.




You know you want to!

Well, the prelims are now over and now the first round has begun. I want to thank those who voted for Rukario in the prelims who crushed Taba. :) Well, he is now facing Chorca from FurAffinity in the first round at the end of the month while I will be dealing with matrices's Cathlamet at the beginning of next month. It is going to be very tough because Chorca's suit was made by Mixed Candy and Cathlamet was made and own by Matrices. Please, vote for me and Rukario. Okay, I know the suits were made by "popular" fursuit makers but look beyond that people. As I stated before, it is NOT how cute the suit is or who made the fursuit, it is how the person IN the suit performs and acts. There was a lot of drama, including a lot of friendships were lost at last year's and the year before tournaments because someone voted on a suit that was made by a popular fursuit maker or whatever and not looking at how the fursuiter performed and acted from what I heard. True, there are fursuiters like Tilt Longtail who have awesome fursuits and can perform amazingly well in suit as well but there are fursuiters who only come out to show their suit and act like a total jackass to others who have "less superior" fursuits then getting out of suit in a heartbeat. Those are the people I do not want to be friends with. That is why I am competing in the fursuit tourney, I am competing to make a point. As I stated before, it does not matter how cute the fursuit is or who made the fursuit, it is how the person in the suit performs and acts in front of others and who does not see people who have less than superior fursuits. So, me and Rukario are counting on you guys to vote for us when our turns take place and I hope you guys can understand what I am trying to say here. Just listen to your heart and your mind, not your gut.

Well, I am making this journal from my PSP because my computer might have a virus yet I don't know how I got it. Everytime I start it up before and after when the Windows thing loads up before the page where it shows who can get on the computer, it will all of a sudden restart without warning! >:( I told rukario71 about it last night about it and he told me to take my computer to have it checked out to see if they can do anything. Continued in next journal....

Well, I saw who everyone is facing in this year's tournament and I saw that I will be facing Cathlamet, that Matrices made and own in the first round. ^^ From what I know, my first round is going to be a all out fight since two known fursuiters are going against each other. >:) I mean, I admit that Cathlamet looks cute but looks can be deceiving and I am going to need all the votes I can get to beat her and advance to the second round. Well, from what I see I won't be competing for a while though. Also, I saw that my love, rukario71 is in the prelims against Taba (Who I have no idea who that is) but voting won't start until the weekend of April 23-25th for him. Well, here is the total breakdown of who is facing who: http://www.rawrf.net/FFFF2009bracket.txt

I do not know where you have to go to vote as of right now, but once I get the info you all will be known! :3

Prelims - rukario71 vs. Taba
Round 1 - axelwolf vs. Cathlamet aka Matrices

Here is the list of this year's suiters: http://www.rawrf.net/FFFF2009noms.html

Here is the link to the LJ FFFF thing: http://community.livejournal.com/fursuittourney/

I know the drama that is going to be involved and I know it is a popularity contest, but I want to be seen more. I know I am not going to win but I might as well have some fun and such. :P It also seems that my mate, rukario71 rukario71 is in the tournament as well! :D So, when the open voting next week I want you guys to vote for me and Rukario. Those who are only going to gripe about the FFFF please save it. I am only in it to have fun even though there ARE fursuiters that are in it who have big ass egos who are going to think otherwise and yes I have seen several of them around. I will know by the end of the week who me and Rukario will face in the first round.

The annual yearly tradition of being total jackass and pulling pranks on people to make themselves feel better. I hate this day so fucking much. I have been pranked every year by someone and it is getting on my last nerves. I never pull pranks because either I do not know how to pull the prank off right or I end up seriously pissing someone off who would like to kick my ass and yes, I have gotten my ass seriously beaten because of it. (Which I know some of you guys have done in the past to someone.) Just to give you guys a heads up, I really can not take a joke well because I always have a hard time telling the difference between joking or someone being serious and I get majorly pissed. So please, everyone...DO NOT PULL ANY PRANKS ON ME! If you do, you will be BANNED from my LJ, FA, AIM and any other site I got you as a friend. I am dead serious you guys!

Well, a few things to pass along. Things are back to normal at my house so that is good. Second, I am going to have to mail my fursuit back to magnusdiridian to make massive repairs on my suit since my suit took a lot of damage from AC, Furfright and FWA. Luckily, it won't take him long to get the suit repaired since I got a few things planned later on next month. Third, I got a update on my new fursuit head that czgoldedition is making for me. She told me that the head is about 75% done and will most likely to be finished before the end of next month! :) I am going to keep the head Magnus made for me but I need something when I am wanting to wear a partial and that head Magnus made won't work. I guess that is it for now.

*HUGS*

Axel

something very bad is going to happen to you soon? Because right now, I feel it big time and something tells me that I might be looking for a new place to live very soon. If you want to know, just note or IM me

Okay, I had a blast even though there were a few problems that I will not bring up. Anyways, since I am at duncan_the_dog's house right now before he drops me off at the Greyhound station to go back to upstate NY and ultimately home. Well, me and Duncan had alot of fun, even though I felt sad that my mate, rukario71 couldn't make it but we will be at AC and then Megaplex! :) It was a blast to do the parade and the dances, including the fursuit dance competition (For those who saw me dragging off during the award cermonies from the dance, I was suffering from heat exhaustion not feeling down that I lost. Congrats to those who have won. I just needed to get out of suit badly.) I already pre-registered for FWA '10, I just hope the hotel's construction is done by then. Anyways, I need to get some sleep before I have to make the final trek to my house. I will be home sometime later tonight since I got to get up early for work tomorrow so I will be online a bit between 9 and 10:30. Because I know I have been keeping the PCD crap at bay but I know it will hit me full force when me and Duncan go our seperate ways. :(

*HUGS*

Axel

Even though rukario71 can not make it since he was my ride and all, he is trying his hardest to get me to FWA trying to get ahold of anyone who is going that could take me to and from FWA. I will keep all of you updated ASAP.

I am not going to FWA. I am pretty upset right now and I am not in no mood for anything right now.

Well, I might want to give you guys a heads up on some of the big things going on for me this year before it gets too late:

March 18-24: Furry Weekend Atlanta (Atlanta, GA)
April 18: DooDah Parade (Ocean City, NJ)
July 2-7: Anthrocon (Pittsburgh, PA)
October 16-19: Furfright (Waterbury, CT)
November 27: Me and rukario71 one year anniversary of being together. <3

I am thinking of going to MFM or MFF. Which one should I go to? :)

I am also planning on wanting to join Hi-4 group since I want to show my wolfy butt to the public other than the cons. What do you guys think? :)

Okay, I know there is ALOT of drama when the fursuit tournament comes around every year but I have been itching of putting my wolf butt in there to see how far I can go. It is for fun anyways. I know some of the owners of the suits made by Latin Vixen and Don't Hug the Cati and among other well known fursuit makers tend to take the competition a little too far, thus causing drama, a lot more than other times. Let me say this "IT does not matter how cute the fursuit is. It matters how well the person does inside the fursuit. Like seeing how they perform by themselves, other fursuiters and non-suiters and how they fair with non-furs." Like that post I made a while back that owning or being a maker of fursuits does not give you the right to be a major prick to others who you think has less superior fursuits. So, I am going to ask you guys this. I already know all the drama that is going to happen. Should I enter the fursuit tournament?
