Power Rangers Collab 2022 and Beyond!

                   I couldn't sleep Tuesday night and I was lying in bed and did some research and just found out that Power Rangers Dino Fury is going to be doing a second season which will be Season 29 of the series. So we will be continuing on to catch up and hopefully by February of 2023 we are caught right up and we are going to continue on and I am not surprised, however I heard they were finished with seasons but something must of happened between now and the last few months so a lot must of happened in the recent months so I am happy with the news that Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast is going to continue and it seems it will be an endless run with that podcast but this is why we already got a plan ready for moving into when and if it ends eventually. 

                    I also found out their in talks for their 30th season and I hope they do something interesting when it comes to that. We will have have to wait and see but Larry hasn't been on this week and just wait till he gets my messages about the future of the series, he will most definitely surprised and excited that we continue on this journey and any plans for other collabs will be put to the side right now while we continue on with this series and there will be a time and place where we run out of ideas all together I am sure.  Even if we have to wait for a new season we have the one offs to run with at the time and this is why Larry and I plan ahead in case for situations like this to happen. Anyways you will be seeing more from Larry and I in the very nearby future and we're excited for the future of Power Rangers Collab.

Experiencing Growing Pains Again With ChrisBOnTheWeb

                 It is not exactly ChrisBOnTheWeb.com that's experiencing the growing pains, well yes it's growing the site has experienced a ton of growth but this time I am talking about Entertainment Man Podcast. As you know with the views growing on the podcast has equaled a bunch of issues and it is definitely some growing pains that I am experiencing once again. It is what it is and I just gotta tackle one thing at a time when it comes to these technical issues and luckily it has nothing to do with the recording, I think it's platforms cannot handle my crazy personality... LOL... Guess that is what happens when something you love doing continuously grows well you know what hits the fan and that's OK. That is why there is support emails to get help when something like this goes wrong like it has this week. 

                   I guess this is a bit of an update because what I am saying is the listens popped back up but the crazy stupid loop issue last I checked it was still looping at the end which it ain't me as other platforms are fine and the hard copy which I physically checked on my computer was just fine all together. So definitely is a Stitcher. It is nice I am keeping you guys in the loop and when I said I wasn't going to promote it, I meant it. That is me refusing to promote the platform cause I do not need YOU guys to listen to a dumb loop at the end. I thought about actually recording it to show you guys one day what happened but thought however decided to not do it. I have supported Stitcher for nearly 5 years now and haven't had an issue with them since the earlier years which is now behind me. However I plan on promoting Player FM instead at this moment and starting this weekend I will be promoting it and already started changing the links around ahead of schedule and yes I checked the links.

My Favorite Adam Sandler Movies

                I haven't talked about this before and I think it is the right time with everything going on with things around my community and the drama this is a light hearted fun post to do. Anyways today's post, I am going to talk about my top 5 Adam Sandler movies so here it is:

5.  Click- I haven't seen the movie till up to this year when I wanted to see it and there are funny moments but there is also serious moments in the movie so it is between. One moment I remember is Terry Crews who is the host of AGT aka America's Got Talent. 

4. Mr. Deeds- Another personal favorite and I noticed in some of the movies I have listed they all have the same actors which is nothing wrong with that to be honest. 

3. Big Daddy- Another great movie and him randomly cursing in McDonalds was funny. There was a ton of favorite moments and also a bunch of heartfelt moments in the movie as well and one of the reasons it made # 2 on my list. Also note I realize the actress who plays Layla also played Virginia Bennett in Happy Gilmore with Christopher McDonald and company.

2. Billy Madison- I recently did a review and I love this movie not just because it was filmed in my hometown here but the moments in the movie, that darn penguin and him saying T- t-t-today JUNIOR! Such a classic movie, indeed. 

1. Happy Gilmore- It is an hilarious movie which also features the former host of The Price is Right, Bob Barker, even to this day he'd still be able to fight Happy Gilmore at age 97.  Also they poked a little of fun on The Price is Right a few times in there but the moment I loved was the fight with Happy Gilmore (Adam Sandler) and (Bob Barker) hahaha!

                   There are my top 5 list and really haven't seen all the movies and an honorable mention would also be Anger Management which he's in it and another great movie but if I kept on going to a top 10 this blog would be way to long for you guys but that is today's post and I hope you guys enjoyed this and let me know if you guys would like to see another top 5 list in the nearby future.

Entertainment Man Podcast-- We Have To Talk!

             I originally was gonna announce the plans for 2022 for Entertainment Man Podcast but that has now changed since. Yeah, I have since the end of the weekend stopped working on planning out Entertainment Man Podcast and getting notes done and have now removed it off of my things to do list for right now.  It is not on my list of things to do right now and here is why-- I am not pleased the views have gone down to 3 to 0, nothing nadda, zip! I know it isn't you guys as I know a ton of you guys listen to my episodes and it has to do with the platform having some issues perhaps who knows? I have made some mistakes going back where I started but I cannot be playing musical websites all the time and I am not reuploading all 51 something episodes now and it is not the right time to do such a thing. Also I have been informed that there is an looping issue with Stitcher and already emailed them. 

           I even threatened that I'd not be promoting their website whatsoever which is true I refuse to promote it till they fix the issue and you will not be seeing the link for a while. Other platforms do not have that same issue so it is better to not promote it. So I am stopping any work that is being done is put on hold and it hasn't been worked on. I actually removed it off my things to do list and no plans to work on it at this moment which really opens a ton of time to work on the collab at the moment. If it isn't one thing, it's another that is a problem. Getting sick and tired of the issues and I am having some doubt on a lot of things but I gotta do what I gotta do and it means not promoting certain sites, so be it. That is my post for today and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

End of The Week Updates! [09-25-2021]

                  I know the name has changed and since the change of the weekly updates is now at the end of the week to make room for the return of events eventually and you guys know the entire story of the recent and final changes I am making to the schedule but I changed the title just because it is at the end of the week for updates and changed things around. However, enough of me rambling, here are the updates:

- Website: The website has been updated by Jim as he has removed any reminisce of The Video Projects Team as that is now in the past and I have put that team well behind me and I just do not want anything to do the former team. Also under the Past Projects you probably seen no projects before November 14th, 2014 and that was removed for that reason. I am not sure but I think the About ChrisBOnTheWeb has been updated since then. 

- Power Rangers Collab: With the Mystic Force Podcast now recorded, I just wanted to remind you guys that it is on the backburner for editing till I am finished with Operation Overdrive and Jungle Fury. Speaking of which, I should be moving into Jungle Fury as of tomorrow and hopefully get it done by Friday so I can get them also sent out to Larry. I will be taking sometime off about a week off from the collab before I get going on RPM. Between then will edit the collab and get it out to you guys at some point after and it should take me a few days depends how fast it will take.

- Entertainment Man Podcast (2022): With 2022 getting closer and closer in for me, I will be working on 2022 during my week off and probably into RPM I will be getting into working notes for 2022 and preparing the podcast for it's 2nd year on the Air which mind you things have gotten really exciting for me with this podcast and I can say 2022 will be interesting and yes interviews are going to be on the list and I have blocked off 2 weeks for interviews but there will not always be interviews but that is a post alone and I will do a post next week about it all.

- Facebook Group Community: I will be changing the URL to the /cbotwfbgroup when the ban is up later on today but more then likely tomorrow as that is what I am planning to make a post tomorrow morning. Also there has been an large amount of drama and it will not be tolerated. Wednesday I will address it on the Group itself and will be doing a live stream on Tuesday about it to discuss what Jim and I are doing to fix it, also Moderators etc. 

                    There is the updates for the week and a lot has gone on with the Community and content, sorry this is a very long update but so much has happened and some things Jim and I couldn't do as I am restricted or in Facebook Jail for the 30 days which is practically now up and Jim didn't have Admin status for half of the changes which it is now in the past.  Anyways I will highlight was said on the Tuesday Live Stream until then enjoy the rest of your weekend and speak to you all in 2 days from now.

Power Rangers Collab Is Returning and Updates!

             I have held onto this news for 2 days now and even my Management Team, Alexandra has started to speculate the return is near and this is true she started to speculate back on the weekend with the notes sent to Larry and since Monday have arrived to Larry's doorstep. I can officially say, IT IS true, Power Rangers Collab is resuming production tomorrow with Mystic Force season which is the 14th Season in the series and is the halfway marker to the 28 seasons that is out now. It is exciting to be back in the saddle again and really we're not on a solid schedule as we're still working out on notes and trying to get things done and hopefully by late October we move onto Operation Overdrive and Jungle Fury into November and RPM probably end of November. 

            So tomorrow starts what will be long next many weeks of recording and getting caught up on the podcast and I will remind you that Mystic Force will be held onto till Operation Overdrive and Jungle Fury Notes are finished up. I will let you guys know on Social Media when it is coming out but one step at a time, baby steps, we will get caught up on things and it will happen in time. Once I send off the next 2 we can record back to back but here is a look at what you can expect:

Thurs. Sept 23rd, 2021: Power Rangers Mystic Force

This puts the Podcast a little ahead of schedule which is good which means we can be ahead of schedule and we can get it done a little sooner. Here is the next set in the schedule:

Thurs. Oct 21st, 2021: Power Rangers Operation Overdrive

Thurs. Nov 4th, 2021: Power Rangers Jungle Fury

Thurs. Nov 18th, 2021/Tues. Nov 30th/Thurs. Dec 16th, 2021: Power Rangers RPM (Tentative dates, we could record sooner and we will let you guys know one way or another.)

                 I know I may have been a bit quiet on it this time around but I didn't know whatsoever if we were recording this week and he wants to do it and we're ahead of schedule at this point which is unusual for us and the last set of dates are possible dates and is tentative as we have not reached that point yet. However despite everything that happened Monday this puts a smile on my face and I honestly cannot wait to record to be honest! The fun is about to begin! Till tomorrow, have a great rest of your day!

I've A Lot of Time To Think About Things.....

                 I have had a lot of time to think about it and reflect after being banned for the 5th time, I've considered leaving Facebook all together as a whole. However since the group has been growing, I had to reconsider things as it has been amazing to sit back and watch the group grow so I am going to stay and there has been things that I wanna tweak within the group. If you are on the group you saw the post Alexandra posted but I will say this, I wasn't going to do any Moderators and I am still considering it and have a short time to decide and I think I will be still doing it as of this weekend, I will have no Mods for now. I am not going to put up with anything on the group. If I remove someone from the group then I lose a number so I have had time to re-think the strategy with the group side of things. 

               Now with the blog, when I announced the new schedule with the blog, I didn't think about it clearly... I reconfigured the blog incorrectly so starting Monday, I will be going back to the original format which is this:

Mondays: Regular Topic/Events when it starts back up again.

Tuesdays: Regular Topic

Wednesdays: Regular Topic

Thursdays: Regular Topic

Fridays: End of The Week Update (Under a new name)

                Now the Weight Loss Updates will be sporadic and have no specific day and when I feel ready for updates, then I will give em but again it is on a random schedule at this time, no big plans for updates often we will see how it goes moving forward. Anyways that is my update and I know my blogs are all over the place this week but it is what it is and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Power Rangers Collab Is In A Bit of Trouble....

             The Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast is in trouble..... Not financially or legally but it goes along the line when he's able to come back to studio not to just record but also hangout. Sundays was always our day to record and that may be soon to be changing as we may have to change days for recording and also hanging out and I am not happy with my transit system whatsoever. I hope Larry is going to be able to resolve this issue, as we may end up recording during the week but when is the question and I do not really know what will happen as this hasn't been discussed yet as this was figured out yesterday morning where there is no bus just a "B route" and doesn't come all the way out and trust me I have emailed the transit system twice in the last 2 days now and their not hearing the end of it. I told em I run a podcast and Sundays were our regular days which now is not the case anymore. 

              So I do not know the future of this, I have started to question a lot of things, whether it is time for me to move out the area, my childhood home and move into an apartment that actually has a bus route and able to travel without restrictions of service to my Co-Host especially. So this is on my long list of things to discuss with Larry and he already knows cause once again I went off at Larry like usual and he's not going to be happy whatsoever and a ton of planning to do when we're off air between RPM and Samurai and we will probably have a ton of meetings and getting organized before he is able to return to the studio and once I know the plan, we will be sure to tell you guys the plan moving forward but right now it will have to be discussed first and it is at the bottom of our list of things to do right now as the list is quite long. So thanks a lot That is the post for today and I will talk to you guys tomorrow.

Weekly Updates (09-18-2021)

               For this update, I do not have any real updates this week, things are progressing well and you guys saw a pop up podcast for Entertainment Man Podcast and that is because every 2nd week I will have an second episode up so this week there is no bonus episode. However today I wanna focus on the Future of ChrisBOnTheWeb & ChrisBOnTheWeb.com and also one last thing to address as I am struggling with something:

- Jim wasn't lying when it came to his post last Tuesday evening when he came out in the open that I am planning to renew this domain for a longer length and I still got a few years left on this current contract but try renewing this domain for a decade, yes that is how dedicated I am to this website and the projects that I am doing currently. 

- When I get closer into the 10 year anniversary, more then likely just a special anniversary banner will be made for the anniversary but we are planning to not overdo the banners and design but yes it is a big deal that this website.

                One last thing I wanna address before I wrap up today's post is I have been having thoughts about the way The Video Projects Team ended and worried about now that ChrisBOnTheWeb is now getting closer into 7 years now that 8.5 year is only a year and a half away and worried it will not last but as I said it will and Jim and I have been talking about 10 year and having some festivities and probably have a party planned and probably have my Alum here, Justin, Larry here, The Video Projects Team Alum probably will be welcomed to come to the studio to celebrate. I think as I wrap up this weekly updates on the blog today, I know me being on my own for content and yes collaborating with my friends and other content creators is the way to go with this website. I can see the website and ChrisBOnTheWeb brand go 10, 20, 30 years at the most and it will but right now, it's in single digits. That is what I have to say and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Weight Loss Update [09-17-2021]

                   I know this hasn't been a thing for a while as my weight went way up by 14 pounds but that has changed since as I haven't been eating much lately and my weight has suddenly been going downwards. I weighed in as of earlier this week at 236 pounds and now sitting 3 pounds lesser then usual. I continue to lose the weight and cut back on things and I plan on continuing to lose the weight each and everyday. I think the not eating definitely had an affect in my weight which is technically good really and I just gotta keep up with it and I can look back at this post to do a count when I do the next update at the end of October time and hopefully by then I am in the 220's again within 2 weeks so I guess I am going for a 10 pound limit. 

                   However I think I wanna do an update end of every month as I do not wanna bore you with the updates every 2 weeks I think it will be more appropriate and that usually lands once a month depending so the next update would be more then likely Oct 29th on the Friday. I know I haven't said much about the weight loss but trying my hardest to lose the weight and wanna get down to 210 by my doctors appointment. My new goal is 200 pounds by end of the year but that may not be a thing or even possible as I have to lose 33 pounds in 3 months but if I continue to lose I can do it. Few things I should remember to do is cut out cookies everyday, any sweets, sugars and what not and I should be able to lose the weight a lot quicker if I cut out the fatty, sweet stuff I should be good. Anyways that is my little update on the situation and I will talk to you guys all tomorrow for the weekly update that is now on Saturdays so have a great rest of your day and HAPPY TGIF!

I Played On A Soccer Team When I Was In Elementary School (Throwback Thursday Story)

                  Way, way, way back when I was still in elementary school, I do not remember what grade I was in technically but I played on a school team. Now mind you the school I was a part of the soccer team on does not exist anymore and is 2 of the elementary schools that do not exist and 2 out of the 3 that had the original name as one other school nearby home change their name. Anyways, I had 0 clue how soccer works and I still have no idea the rules of the sport as it's not too common here minus our MLS League, Toronto FC, Montreal team and some teams down in the state but I mean it is popular in the UK and in Europe. So I mean I had a little bit of an idea with the sport. I remember very little about the team and I remember the tourney north of us called Port Perry which yes I have filmed 2 series up there for on location in the past but this was on the outskirts of the town. I do not think we did too well at the tournament, it was quite a hard tournament and I do not remember if we placed in the top 3 or not but I don't think we did but again this is a very long time ago. 

                But hey it was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I never really played on a team team again since then. I have played freely at the Lake with my camp and also friends and kicking the ball around and I still got a soccer ball but since then it has deflated itself and we would have to reflate it but my niece and nephew could have the ball or we could of gotten rid of the ball since but still would be nice to kick the ball around still despite my knee issues. I know the sport requires a ton of running and a lot of exercise is involved with the sport, but all worth it. Once last neat thing I do remember is the team name was the Griffin's and how I remember this to this day is beyond me as I remember. Anyways that is today's update and I will talk to you all tomorrow morning with an weight loss update how I have started my journey back down to 222 pounds.

Nothing Wrong With Thinking Ahead and Problem Solving!

                   The last 24 - 48 hours I have time to reflect while working on notes and content in general and I have come up with solutions to some of the problems going on around the community, content wise. It is not you guys, it's me trying to do 100 things at once, multi tasking to make sure things get done in a timely fashion to meet goals for the end of 2021. I have been thinking about how to make recording the collab work and the solution I came up is finish Mystic Force, get that done and delivered in the mail to Larry one town over since we are not yet back in studio with one another and once he gets it we will record it and like I said on social media, we will be keeping it on the backburner till all notes are completed and sent out to him and that will be the next project. Practically right now it is Power Rangers Collab Notes and Entertainment Man Podcast and going back and forth with the two projects.  Once I am done the notes I will start to edit the collab and back and forth with that. While working on RPM I will get a head start on Entertainment Man Podcast for 2022. 

                    I am really thinking and planning ahead to what needs to be done for the rest of this year and into 2022. I know I am all over the place right now when it comes to getting the work done and I guess this is a part of me where I have to trust my gut instincts. I cannot say when collab episodes are coming out but I know it will be out probably week apart from one another but I could hold onto episodes till their all done and release em for you guys but this is something I would definitely have to talk to Larry about. However I am always looking into the future and how things can be done, what works and what isn't working and it is about getting things done in a timely fashion. I  know I sound like a broken record but this collab, no offense to Larry but it is eating up my time for other projects on ChrisBOnTheWeb and I was hoping to have started on Entertainment Man Podcast for 2022 already. However it is what it is and just gotta take it one thing at a time, one day and week at a time and it will all come together eventually. That is my post for today, hope you guys enjoyed it and be sure to follow on the right hand side by hitting the follow, best way to know when a new post does go up and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Going Full Throttle With Notes!

                 After yesterday's adventure and passing out right after dinner just fueled the fire in me to get these notes done and I was up at 1130 pm got a pile of notes done but today and this week is about getting the notes finished. Larry doesn't know this but I pushed the recording up a bit and once I get a confirmation which I have mentioned Skype to discuss all of this and what we wanna do since I am still typing up notes at this point and really pushing to get them all finished and ready to record. Typing does take some time and days to a week at a time but soon as he gets them we are golden but I am going full throttle with the notes! I know it will be quite difficult with recording episode of the other episodes and it is going to be back and forth between that and the notes and it will be a bit of a pain in the butt to deal with but there is a fire lit under me to get these done!

                 I am firing under all cylinders and ready to go! The fact 32 episodes is not as many as we were doing but still a lot to do still regardless. Anyways I am so stoked and excited to be really pushing myself and getting these notes and I already restocked on the blue front cover for notes so I have enough for a while, like 500 sheets in the package so it is good that I am prepared for the future of collab podcasts with Larry and with other people as well, like I said I am firing on all cylinders and excited to just get them all done so I can finish the final episode for 2021 and we can have a clean slate in 2022 because I am OVER 2021! Like really! I am over this year, it's been a year from heck! I am just ready for a reset as this year I think we have recording more episodes then we have done in past years just trying to catch the heck up. No matter what happens, we end up having to push it up just hope we get RPM done that is my big problem, I need to really focus but it is hard but I am full speed ahead! Anyways that is my ramble post for the week and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Not In Any Rush To Going Back To Events

                       I know I have mentioned the steps and to be honest, I am in no rush whatsoever to get back to events. I know deep inside myself I wanna do it and return to a more normal routine with ChrisBOnTheWeb & ChrisBOnTheWeb.com. What I am trying to say, I could keep things as they are right now and the viewers would stay put as they are. The views would not change whatsoever probably increase in time when things are good enough for me to go to actual events and to bring content from outside the studio and when I gave you guys that stages list I really meant it that events would be the last thing I would go back to. I mean the local events in the area would be a start but I am in absolutely in no hurry to get back to events. Really things are doing just fine. I admit when I switched over from events to topics, it wasn't easy transition and had to change a lot, the scheduling and what not but I had to become a pro at all this change and very quickly. 

                    So what I am trying to say I am no hurry whatsoever to change back to the original format and is one of the reasons why you noticed the change recently with the scheduling starting today as this is the start of getting back to a new normal in our world as you know our world has changed drastically with this pandemic and now I have to have new protocols when it comes to not just the content and having Larry back but the events which has been a major factor in the site and the content and one day it will happen but I am going to take my time when it comes to going back to events but I assure you that day will come just not planning too far ahead, it will depend on number of cases and restrictions and when events do return as there is no real news on it yet and I continue to monitor things as the months go on. That is my post for today and enjoy rest of your day and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Final Blog Schedule Changes Starting Next Week!

              I wasn't going to talk about this till layer when things get back to a normal but let me tell you so you know ahead of time how the blog schedule will look like. I may as well get you guys all prepared for when things get more back to a new normal. Anyways you guys know the schedule going on right now with the content and I know I have addressed the issue of how will I fit in the schedule and it was a tough one to come across and a lot of moving parts to make it work out but here is the timetable looks like:

Monday's: Regular Topic, however if I do go to an event over the weekend, I will be covering it on the Monday.

Tuesday's: Regular Topic

Wednesday's: Regular Topic

Thursday's: Regular Topic

Friday's:  Weight Loss Update (Every second Friday)

Saturday's: Weekly Updates- Instead of Monday Weekly Updates, I am moving it to Saturday's at the end of the week!

                    There is the schedule and yes Sunday's I am off from the blog and I think this actually resolves the no content on Saturdays and fills in some gaps in the schedule. While writing this podcast for today, I have decided starting Monday, I will start this new timetable immediately and for the meantime, I will just do a regular topic for you guys so starting Monday we go into the new timetable and we have by now probably changed the schedule here on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com. That is today's post and I will talk to you all Monday on a brand new schedule and think this new schedule will work better for me and will be the last change in schedule from here. So have a great weekend and I will talk to you all Monday!

You Can Expect Entertainment Man Podcast To Stick Around A While!

                 As I probably have mentioned on social media, I have been plugging away with new ideas for Entertainment Man Podcast and it has been quite a journey for this podcast and I can say this-- I am planning way ahead and if I have enough ideas, I could possibly seeing this podcast running beyond next year but I am thinking way ahead of myself but it is no secret that I am planning to actually go beyond 2022 and already getting ideas and the more I talk to you all or even my own Alum the more ideas you guys seem to spark with me with this podcast. I am just so excited this can be running into a 3rd year and I never thought it'd last this long. Originally I thought from the start this was only temporary but boy I was wrong! I am not putting down this podcast, I mean I thought this was only going to last a year or two then onto another bigger and better project but hey it's here for a long run right now. Especially with the recent news of breaking just over 100 listens. Finally getting noticed now and that is what matters!

                I definitely wanna continue this project as it has seen a ton of traction and when I wrote this yesterday morning nearly at 1 am EST I was like whoa what the heck.... The most recent episode blew up and I mean it is actually doing super well and really well what I originally though but either way I want this podcast to be around for years to come! I do not wanna see this podcast come off the air any time soon. Plenty more to come that is for sure! I want it here to stay and I wish I did this sooner, I should of stopped after Survivor 39 and just done it in January, I could imagine how well it has been done! Either way I am rambling cause I am just excited to see such an amazing podcast do so well. Anyways that is my post for today and hope you guys enjoyed this post and I will talk to you guys tomorrow!

First Time On The Bus Route That Goes In and Out of My Area!

                 Yesterday, I got to go on the bus and I mean we went on the bus. My mom dropped me off at the mall, I dropped into Staples briefly and met up with Eric for our adventure yesterday. We took the route we already knew about first and we stayed on and passed by where I live and also the CBOTW Studio is also is as well. We went passed there and went into the South side and we ended up practically back at the mall but we actually we're few blocks away as we grabbed a drink and we sat in a parkette for about hour and a half, 2 hours and we had to stop by his place for a few mins and I got to see the apartment since it was a little over an year since I was there and it looked different compare to the last time and felt good to be back there actually and hopefully it can be a thing where I can go over there to visit masked till we are told we can not have masks inside on.  

                 Anyways back to what I was saying, we headed back out on the bus and grabbed the 902B route which turned into my bus that goes back into my area and we asked the bus driver if it does so we lucked in and figured it out on our own without having to call Customer Service but I did email them anyways about my pass stuff and they were very helpful compare to last week when I got a little pissy with the customer service for the on demand but that is now ancient history for me now. I got back in time to talk to Larry which he was only on Monday and yesterday as he has a busy week but good to hear from him. I was exhausted from this trip as it was really the first long bus trip in about a year and a half now. I enjoyed myself and next week I will be more then likely on another adventure and more then likely another post about my adventures on the bus again and maybe this can be a thing almost every week. Anyways I hope you guys enjoyed this post and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

The Binding of Isaac Re-Birth & Minecraft Updates!

                 On The Binding of Isaac Rebirth or Afterbirth not sure which version of the game but I have beaten the ones where the bombs are the only thing you get and I beat that after a few tries and I officially beaten that one officially. Was pretty easy as I am an expert at those kind of challenges on the video game. I forget what it was called on the vanilla Isaac it could of been of been Dr. Fetus that could of been it but its been ages since I played vanilla Isaac since I supposedly beaten it I do not know why but it says I 100% the game and I didn't technically beat it physically and I just do not know how that is mathematically possible but the game must of glitched up at some point but it is really that odd. I am doing another challenge with explosive shots  and gotten close to the end of the game with beating mom's heart but ended up so close at the end and almost got it but it's the fact it tries and bounces back at me that doesn't help whatsoever. 

                 Now onto Minecraft. It is now an end of an era for my house on the main hub as now I have boarded up all my windows on the house and took down all the torches off so it is now pure darkness and the villagers are actually in there still and unable to see and my niece and nephew are going to wonder why the heck my house is all boarded up and abandoned all of a sudden and I will explain. I think I have exhausted everything below the house where the caves I have search and dug caves everywhere and it is time to move on and move to other location down one of the spur lines of the railway and got a new home and place to explore and see other parts of this world. The farm itself I have removed all crops and taken em with me along with food that was left over and some weapons and tools to help me out as I am practically starting from scratch. However it looks weird looking at my house with boarded up windows now as I am now living in a smaller place away from the villagers. I will be back to look in at the main outer part and also to access the office building etc. I am not going to be a stranger but there is so much you can do in a world as you will run out of ideas eventually. That is my updates, hope you enjoyed this, I try and do this every 2 or 3 weeks at the most depending how far I get in a game. I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Weekly Updates [09-06-2021]

             Another week is here and it is time for the first update in 4 - 5 months and I am happy to have this back in the rotation of posts and I know this don't make a lot of room for other topics and this kind of does spark posts 6 or 7 days a week but maybe something to consider for the future but here are the updates:

Everything About Reality TV Podcast Archive: As you know Everything About Reality TV has been off air over a year now and has not returned under that name and has been archived on the website and we overhauled the menu bar since then. As you all know we have an archives page where we have images from the Podcast that has happened in the past and by clicking on it takes you to the archives. Anyways I will cut to the chase Jim and I have to update the font color and size code so it is the same coding across the website entirely. We will be beginning this once I complete, Mystic Force, Operation Overdrive and Jungle Fury Notes and send them off to Larry in the mail.

Website: I think Jim and I are done with adding in new features to the website and have no plans to add anything else in the very nearby future but we are happy with the website's current configuration and it has proved to be successful which is good. 

Blogs: I know with the addition of this weekly post this doesn't leave much room for topics and maybe with the popularity of posts it is time to go back into more posts like talking Sundays through Fridays with Saturdays off or back to the 7 days a week again, that is hard decision to make right now but I am keeping to the 5 days a week for now up to the point of events getting back to maybe 6 posts a week on weeks events but something to talk about down the road. 

Power Rangers Collab: I am officially now working on typing up notes as I have completed watching Jungle Fury and I am moving into typing up the notes and hopefully can get it done in a week or two from now and I can get em shipped out to Larry so we can get recording episodes. I will let you guys know when I start RPM, it will not be for a little while.

                 Anyways that is my updates for the week and not much for updates and we will see what this week brings with content. I will be keeping you guys up to speed on things and excited for this week and what it brings for me. Until tomorrow, have a great rest of your day everyone!

Stages For ChrisBOnTheWeb Getting Back To A New Normal

                I know I spoke about this before but things have progressed, changed since then, especially after talking to The Video Projects Team Alum, Eric about Larry's return to the studio and me seeing him again sparked some inspiration for this podcast. I thank him for this inspiration. So as the title says there are stages for getting back to what will be a new normal after all of this but here are the stages:

Stage 1- Go to some gatherings here and there: As you guys know, I have actually gone to a soft opening of Halton County Radial Museum and we are planning to return for Streetcar rides again this fall I am sure. Also South Simcoe Railway is on the list there and Silent Lake Fall colors as well so smaller things like that is a start for getting back into a new normal.

Stage 2- Getting my Co-Host back into Studio: Stage 2 is indeed getting my Co-Host, Larry back into the studio but right now that is not the case of it happening with cases back on the rise but we are still aiming for February 2022 when him and I head into Samurai and Super Samurai early next year but I am working on preparing for that talk with him eventually. 

Stage 3- Local Events: This is the next phase is me returning to local events and there is only a few events locally I'd go to and I have mentioned it on a post before but this is the second last stage before the 4th and final stage.

Stage 4- Return of All Events: This is the final stage and it is the return of all the events but that is a long road for this to happen and I do not think I will be on Stages 2, 3 & 4 for quite some time but will be excited when I hit this phase!

                 Now the phase I am on right now is Phase 1 with the small things right now and I am not looking into Phases 2 and on right now but eventually it will happen just not right now. My ultimate goal is to get to Stage 2 by next year but cases have to go down first before Larry gets back into the studio again and like I said cases down. Anyways that is today's post, hope you all have a wonderful long weekend and I will be back Labour Day Monday for the update blog.

2 More Things On My Bucket List for Tobermory I'd Like To Do!

                  There are two more things I'd like to do in Tobermory are things I have not yet done with the trip and I took my time to write because I do not remember what the second but writing this part I just jogged my memory so without further ado here is my list of 2 things I'd like to do before possibly wrapping up going up there as I am running out of things to see and do but will always cherish the memories that's for sure but here is my list:

1) Fall Cruise on the M.S. Chi-Cheemaun: Hopefully if things get better soon, I'd like to do the Fall cruise from Tobermory to Owen Sound when the ferry goes back to it's winter birth for the winter time while we have the white stuff on the ground and would be neat to see it in the winter but we do not live anywhere near Owen Sound. 

2) Cruise Around The Islands: There is a 2 hour cruise I'd love to take around the islands on the Great Blue Heron and that is a big big if as of right now we're still in a pandemic right now and nowhere near close to being able to do a lot of normal things right now and probably isn't the right time to be traveling or going on a vacation but it is on my bucket list and my dad's not getting younger it may not happen but least it is on my list either way.

                      There are my 2 things left and I am sure by the time this happens and if I get to do both especially the 2nd one definitely make a visit to the Norisle up there if it is still sitting in the one part of the shores of Manitoulin Island or South Baymouth. but hopefully I can do both but if I had to chose one it would be the Fall Cruise but we'll see and maybe we'll get a chance to do both but this pandemic has to end or it will not happen and my goals will be gone but who knows I have to remain positive. Until tomorrow's blog post have a good rest of your Thursday!

Excited To Have a Bus In My Area Again!

                  I am excited, I am ecstatic to have a bus back in my area and it isn't my first bus in a year as Monday, I took the bus partially home then got a ride from close in since the bus isn't running but it is what it is and I decided to try the On Demand and I am writing these posts ahead of schedule so I have em out as I am a very busy person and hard to track down with my busy, busy schedule with working on trying to catch up on a lot of work. However that is besides the point as this is all starting next week on Tuesday and I will be talking about it Wednesday next week but either way I am booked up all of next week in topics which is amazing. I haven't been on a bus in a year which is a long time and usually for those who know me extremely well, I am a bus enthusiast and rely on it for travel and I haven't travelled on it for a long time and this week was the first time on a bus heading home unless by the time you see this post, I chickened out completely but more then likely took it anyways. 

                 However since the route actually existed it will not be taking the normal route it takes as it is servicing the south end a but and my end going to the mall so it will be different in a route and will be definitely interesting to travel on and this is why next week I will be reviewing the new route. Because after the experience I had this week with the On Demand bus and getting a bus back to my own end and they weren't listening to me on the phone which didn't end well, I hung up and blocked the number. We got to our cross over to find out there is no On Demand Bus whatsoever intersecting the normal route to the On Demand back to my area which really isn't a long ride but it is stupid the way they have it. Anyways I emailed them and said show this to your supervisor or manager or whatever, that I am not pleased one bit. I will not post the screenshot as it has intersecting roads and not about to give out my location on my my own website. I will be using the main bus that is returning to service finally with the modified changes but that's OK it beats the issues I had this week with that service and I am excited to get back on that route next week!
