Aidan Week continues with... the MAIN EVENT... the EPIC ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY BLOG that I have given so much hype that there's no way it could possibly be as good as you're expecting!Then again, it delivers most everything I promised. There's a video. There's tuna. There's going to be some warm, heartfelt thoughts from me coming up in a few paragraphs. So let's get on with the show!!!!! 
First things first... what have I accomplished in the past year?

Getting Insulted By Slyfur: Priceless
Most Popular Blogs: "Say Hello to Lexie" was easily my most commented on blog, and rightfully so. Of course, the "Even More Stuff You Didn't Want to Know About Aidan McKenzie" also proved popular, indicating to me that, contrary to popular belief, you *do* like hearing random crap about me 
Lexie made her debut in August!
I've joined countless unions. Many of which died a slow and painful death. I'm glad to say that my favorite unions, such as the Catz Clan and the Mario Gamers Club are still going strong. And, of course... there is that *ahem* other Union... you know... the Aidan McKenzie Fan Club. I don't want to be self-centered, but well... that is my favorite union. Of course, we rarely talk about me and when we do, it's usually in the form of an insult. I don't mind. It's the people that make a union great, and the AMFC has some of the greatest people on GS 
My personal life over the past year has been... uh, well, a roller coaster ride. Things started off kinda rocky. Not long after I joined, my girlfriend dumped me. In a text message. 
I got over it real quick though, when this girl named Courtney asked me on a date. I wonder whatever happened to *her* ... I got a car this past year. And, of course... I became a dad. Lexie is easily the best thing that has ever happened to me. Sure, she's a lot of work, but she has made me a better person. She's given my life focus and direction. She's given me a reason to talk about poop and not get 
faces from Twilight. And I just want to thank everyone here for being so supportive. I didn't mention Lexie until a few weeks before she was born, mainly cuz I was afraid of what everyone would think. But you have all be awesome, giving me and Courtney tons of encouragement and stuff. You guys are great!
And since *everyone* has done it at some point, I guess I'll list the few people around here that I can actually tolerate and consider acquaintances:........... 
Well, now that that's over with....did you check out my new blog header and banner? FREAKING SWEET, huh? I was just gonna do a quick little crappy thing for Halloween (like my SCAREY new avatar), but I wound up with that pretty awesome Halloween Town banner from Kingdom Hearts II! I like it so much, I just might keep it even after Halloween is over. The TP mummy is gonna go, though
So. I mentioned there would be a video, didn't I?And before you go and fire that beast up, here's the disclaimer! Though I'm pretty sure I either edited out my bad language or caught myself when I was actually making the video, I still think I swear a few times. No f-bombs or anything. But some of the lesser words might be in there. Also, you'll probably be tired of hearing my voice by the time this thing is over. It's not as high-pitched as it used to be, but it's still annoying.
What was that? You were hoping to see my FACE?! Hahahaha! Maybe next time And it occurs to me that I never actually wrote down my Crank to Rank time for this stupid duel. I'll just lie and say I got it in 3.67 seconds. Tomatoes will *never* beat that in a million years.
One Winged Angel...
Look what else I got! I *know* that I didn't need it, but Sephiroth was just calling my name over and over. I couldn't resist anymore, so I finally broke down and got it. And I still have to laugh every time I see that sword of his. He's not compensating for anything, is he?
Meh, I guess I'll finish by *actually* giving thanks to my friends...
TwilightLullaby. Let's not mince words. Next to Courtney, you are the best friend I have here. You kept my head screwed on straight when Courtney was pregnant, made sure I did the right thing. Even though you'll never admit it, you're my biggest supporter in everything that I do here. You have an awesome sense of humor... my copy of Final Fantasy 7, and an unusual fascination with growing mushrooms. Honestly, I don't know what I'd do without you
And I'm *SO* sorry that we didn't get to watch Stargate yesterday! 
Red0584. Red... what can I say? Not only are you my 8th most hated vegetable, you're one of the most awesome people here. And you had the balls to actually create the Aidan McKenzie Fan Club We've had a lot of awesome times together... from the Cheez-its to saving Jenny from those nasty bandits... to sniffing video game cases. I hope we'll have a ton more awesome laughs in the future!
pspitus.I still can't believe you got that crown for your avatar on Xbox Live 
You *KNEW* I was the king, and you still got it! Made me dress up as a freaking TP mummy instead cuz it would have been unoriginal to copy you. I see how it is. Actually, I don't even think I can tolerate you anymore, but I still put you on this list cuz you *always* make me laugh. Even when I'm feeling emo You seem to find humor in every situation and when you can't you still find the words to make things seem better!
Marrium. You have got to be one of the most random people I've ever known, and that's a great thing. You're always so spontaneous and fun. And you're Courtney's honorary little brother, which means you have to beat me up if I ever give her cooties or something Not that you could take me in a fight
Tomatoes95. Dude, you're the *only* person on this site who even comes close to rivaling my ego. And I love that about you. Whenever we meet, it's like a clash of the titans, or something! Of course, I can't bring myself to say anything nice about you, cuz that would only make your ego bigger. But I will say, your blog about my underwear, while inaccurate, was still the most epic thing I've seen since The Little Mermaid. And you'll *NEVER* arrest me for using bad grammar! *runs*
AlmightyMax. We haven't exactly known each other for very long, but we've become friends pretty damn fast. I think it was the moment you said that you liked my "vibe." That almost made Twilight puke, so I knew that you and me had to be friends after that. We always have something to talk about, too, and... in a somewhat unusual turn of events (for me), it's usually a halfway intelligent conversation. I don't know you as well as some of the other on this list, but given time, I'm sure that will change
TissueShoe. I don't know why, but I always feel like I have to be on my best behavior around you. It's probably because, unlike everyone else on this list, you are still a relative mystery to me, despite the fact I've known you the longest. You're just a private person, and I can dig that. But you've always been a good friend, and that's what really counts And you did have the "honor" of sharing Red's failed union with me for 6 months
Ultimate_Hero. My very first friend on GameSpot. 
He's not around as much as he used to be, but I'm still glad to have met him. He ushered me into the community and set all of.... THIS... into motion
Slyfur. Even though you can't stand me, insult me all the time, and want me to fall over dead ... underneath all that is someone who wants to beat me up. Of course, I give you such a hard time, I probably deserve some of that torment. So beyond all *that*... you really are a good friend
Desulated. We're not as close as we used to be, and that's a damn shame. You were probably my first *real* friend here. Maybe one day we'll recapture that which we once had
Courtney. ... You *know* how much you mean to me
And since I'm tired of writing this, I'll just give a shout out to the rest of you: mario-nin-freak, GameBlender, hank_101, megamannt123, Dragon66116, Paul_GameFury, Dapieguyofdoom, SquareEnixFan, Kid_Black_Star... ...and everyone else who I missed...I'm glad that I've had the opportunity and good fortune to know you guys, and while I probably don't know you all as well as I should, I'm still glad to know you. Aside from Tomatoes95, there's not a bad seed in this bunch
THANK YOU!!!!
Comments
Anyways, that was a pretty epic video. And that backyard of yours is freaking HUGE! And I feel honored (LOL I accidentaly spelt that homored the first time!) to be your 8th hated vegetable, and that you would keep my epic fail of a union for half a year
.I also wanna thank you for helping me... "save" Jenny in that cave. And for the Cheez-Its thing. And for everything. You're awesome, man
I was wondering what you were up to with that camera, sir! I just loved your talking bunnies And your talking frog And your talking in general. Now everyone knows what I have to put up with on a daily basis
).
And underneather all that is a person that still wants to beat you up.As long as you don't talk about yourself, I wouldn't feel totally ashamed of being in your fan club. Probably.
I've put up with you for almost a year?
I'm surprised I'm not dead yet!
Has it really only been, what, two months since we 'met?' Jeez, it feels like so much longer!
Hmm, my 2nd anniversary is coming up in about a month, so I guess I've gotta come up with something twice as epic as this. Shouldn't be too hard.
You'd actually treat your Wii that way? 
SHAME! I would take unnecessary action, but seeing Jade in the vid makes it all seem ok! Seriously though, happy 1 year annaversary! I've never actually had a chance to say this, but you really are one of my closest friends on GS. If my schedule wasn't so packed, I think we could be really great friends, but there's no telling when that day will come! I don't think there's been a single time where I've talked to you/read one of your blogs without laughing, so I always look forward to more! Never change, Aidan! Here's to another year at GS!
You have the awesomest planning, video making, and humor skills to date! Seriously that video was near professional. OMG YOU MENTIONED ME AHHHHH!!! I'm so glad to be random enough for your standards Aidan. Anyways happy 1st year! I hope the next few go better than my 2nd and 3rd. That sure did suck...all of my friends left..I HAVE NEW ONES NOW THOUGH!
I'll show you! Nice video by the way. It was pretty funny, but I think I've had enough of your voice for a few years. I honestly don't know how Courtney can stand it. So, seeing as you didn't actually finish...I guess...I win.
Seriously though, after seeing the way you treat your disks, you are not gonna get my copy of FF7. No way. Not in this lifetime. Not for 999999999 years. Also, I like how showcased you Stargate DVDs. So. It's been a year. A whole entire year. I first met you in the Catz Clan when you called me out for being a New's Baby.
And then Courtney said to ignore you and that you were stupid. Even though you annoy the crap out of me sometimes and tease me about *certain* things, pssh, I hate to admit this but you're a good friend.
Here's to many more years!
Anyways that was an EPIC video, I'm surprised your wii wasn't in the toilet though, that's where I found mine last time.
Well anyways your blog was pretty epic, the video was also epic. I don't think I would have the patience to plan out a 9 minute video like that for a blog . Nicely done. It's been nice knowing you for the past, well not quite a year since I didn't meet you right when you joined, but you know, since we met.
I hope you and your girlfriend are doing well with Lexie! In case you didn't know if you didn't read my About Me or my blog "Spring break... But something I wanna mention first *updated*" (you definitely missed that blog by a lightyear or two ), I'm gay See? Nothing to hide! That was one epic vid!
Don't I get a thanks too? D: Jk
, I know we only started tracking each other recently, so it's all good! Happy 1-year of GS anniversary!
Anyway, congrats.
man i have got to get a faster computer XD. anyways, your new banner and header are awesome! glad i was at least mentioned.....at the end......lol just kidding. congrats on being here one year! glad we're friends!
Oh, you meant where? Amazon @red0584: You're awesome too, Red. Even though you did give me RAGE and FURY by bashing FF12
And that whole forest wasn't my backyard. Just the part that was mowed grass when "Hyrule Field" was displayed @Courtney817: "Put up with"? Well, I'm glad you liked it @Out-Of-Ammo: Finders keepers!
If those rupees were yours, you shouldn't have stashed them under a pile of leaves @AjaxNeron: Thanks dude
@reo-117: Glad you liked it. And I'd love to see you TRY and make a blog as epic as mine
@Slyfur: Yes, your insults are always a highlight, Fur. And I still say you couldn't take me in a fair fight.
Of course, knowing you, it wouldn't be a fair fight to begin with. You'd cheat. I know it @Paul_GameFury: I'm creating catch-phrases now!? ALL RIGHT!!!
Glad you liked the video, too @Kid_Black_Star: Thanks, man!
And if those pics you took for our pic-off are any indication, I'm not worried about you beating my epic blog when *your* anniversary comes up @Dapieguyofdoom: Hey! That's the most use my Wii has seen in months! You should be glad for all that!
And thanks for all that stuff you said, man I really wish we were better friends, but I know you don't have a lot of time for all that. All in good time, I guess. I don't plan on going anywhere.. So if you ever want to talk, I'll be here @Marrium1: Thanks Marrium
...You're too kind. Really. I don't think the video was professional! I'm glad you liked it though. Your "vlog" is kinda what gave me the idea to do this. Of course, I knew I had to do something bigger and more random than yours And people leaving GS is inevitable I've been lucky so far. None of my closest friends have left (except for Red, and he, unfortunately, came back ) I promise, I'm not going anywhere, though!@Tomatoes95: You heard me, foo!
NOT MANLY ENOUGH!! Come challenge me to a *real* game and then we'll talk Glad you liked the video, though, Tomater
(Aww, look who posted right after you )@pspitus: So you've lost brain cells to Mario Party 8, your sanity to Halo 3, and your ham sandwich to Super Mario Galaxy. What next?!
Honestly, I didn't think MP8 was that bad. Sure, it wasn't great, but... it didn't kill brain cells. And I usually do keep my Wii in the toilet, but there was something *ahem* else.... in there before I took that video. @TissueShoe: You can't hide your secrets from me forever!
j/k Though one of these days, I would like to know how you came up with "TissueShoe." Surely *that* isn't confidential? And me? PLAN that video? Hell no! If I had planned it, I wouldn't have had to cut out half the stuff. I've probably got about 10 more minutes of stuff that didn't make the cut cuz I went over the 10 minute limit! And I've been friends with you longer than just about anyone else. And I'm glad for that!
If I had known that everyone would be so cool and supportive about Lexie, I would have mentioned her right off the bat. But I was scared... and when Courtney got pregnant, I was still relatively new around here. I didn't know what all everyone would think. I'm glad things turned out the way they did, though. ...And I *did* read your profile, so I knew you were gay No big deal to me. I'm okay with that. ...And no mention this time, but I suspect you'll get one next time @koopa_shell: I know, man. What else am I supposed to do with my Wii? Use it to play games? Hah! What games? @GameBlender: I *almost* made a paragraph about you, but I was sick and tired of writing the blog and that point and figured you wouldn't go cry in a corner if I didn't make one. But I really do think you're a great friend, man! @shadowslayer956: Liked my swear word replacements, did you?
Or is the front door really open? @megamannt123: It sucks that you can never see my videos! This one was particularly epic. You would have liked it, I'm sure. Anyway, glad you liked the new banner! And I'm glad that we're friends, too!
Hahaha... Your reviews are way better than mine, anyway, but I'm glad you like them. @stalpno: Ahh... last, but certainly not least. Ben I'm sorry that I forgot to mention you. But you know how highly I think of you. You're one of my best friends here, and nothing will *ever* change that. Okay?
Remember when Courtney and I went on that adventure and took a whole bunch of pictures of the fall colors? And you were impressed and challenged us to a pic-off? As I recall... one of us *never* took any pictures cuz it was "too rainy"
I started "THIS"
I don't deserve to live
Great blog man, sorry I'm late in commenting, I've been hiking the past few days.
@Ultimate_Hero: The sacred nod of approval?! SWEET
I'm glad you approve @SquareEnixFan13: Bad seed. Yeah. Some of my jokes are dumb
And hiking sounds like fun. Hope it was a good trip
Desulated
And I have a good feeling that soft drink's made out of man. XD
