I would like to start this blog post with, you guys know I have been dealing with back spasms lately on both sides of my back so, how do I deal with pain, it doesn't matter where the pain is but how do I deal with it in general? Well I will tell you I have a pillow behind my back ever since I had spasms. Also I will take Tylenol which does help me with the pain when it gets bad but recently it has been better then it was back in the early half of last month. Also for the muscle or spasms as I got right now, I used either Icy Blue or A535 for the pain, also if I do not use the rub stuff which I am not suppose to use the rub stuff and the heating pad but on it's own I use where it goes in your chair, it has the heat and massage feature which actually did help with it as well.
Finally in this short blog post for today, I also started at the start of the month of April exercises, like the Pelvic tilt, Knee Curl and what not and it helps a lot with the pain and the pain has subsided and it only hurts with getting off the ground now and off my bed so exercising 2 - 3 times a day and it helps me with the pain in the back not a pain in the butt.... LOL. But exercise is good to do, especially when you have muscle pains or spasm, it helps to stretch out the muscles and get them elasticized and moving again. When i exercise I try to do it Morning and the evening. and if I have time to add in the afternoon for exercises as well to ensure I get them done. That is how I deal with pain and I am sorry if this is a very short and sweet post but I found this post hard to write.

Bowmanville Maple Fest 2018!
Yesterday, I got to go to the Maple Fest in Bowmanville with my dad before I spent time with my niece and nephew and I always go to this event every year, I believe I did not go last year but made up for it this year. Today also marked this as the first local event or event in Ontario this year. There is plenty of more events to come and I will be announcing it at the start of next week to the events I will be attending this year in the way of Chris B On The Web related.
So first impressions were I was excited to be going back to events just because I love to blog about it, the adventures, what I saw, what there is to do. We got there, there was the fire truck displayed and what a fire truck it was! It really has changed since the first ever fire truck came out back in the day! Of course we saw a fire truck coming our way probably was heading to a call and it wasn't red, it looked like a black fire truck and I thought the fire trucks are suppose to be red? Maybe it was too far away from us where we were standing at the time.
They also had vendors as well, lamps, they had entertainment in two areas of the street, one in the middle and at the east end of the event as well. I took a picture but I don't think it turned out very well but I managed to try and get a picture but I didn't see it when I processed the pictures but I will look through the images again to see. There was food too, BBQ, Hot dogs, sausages. My dad and I have a Potato Tornado which is potatoes on a stick. Can have Sea Salt, Buffalo flavored, sour cream or Dill. Was delicious to eat and I wanna try the sour cream flavor as I am one for sour cream when I eat my potatoes, baked potatoes mainly. So I definitely will try that next time we have a tornado potato. When I look at it, it does look like a tornado when you look at the stick from the top to the bottom of the stick. Yes I snapped the stick in half after I was finished eating.
Finally I enjoyed my time at the Maple Fest and looking forward to the next one which is the Food Truck which is the day before the Old Car Festival which is in June, the date for the Food Truck Friday, June 15th, 2018 and I will be attending it this year, however the old car festival will be a no go but there is other car festival here in Oshawa coming this summer to look forward to going to, so I am not worried at all about missing it but I loved going to the Bowmanville one because of the old Edsel Car but it is what it is and I just gotta deal with it.

How I Work Hard To Be Successful!
I know sometimes success can be taken away from you at times of stress and panic but to be successful, you gotta work hard and gotta grind and that is what I have been doing is grinding hard to get caught up in the content you guys either every day or every week, depending what content comes out and whether it is scheduled or not. But you have to work hard, grind, grind, grind, even with the going gets tough, just keep on going, do not stop or give up. Giving up is not a good thing, trust me, I ended up giving up and look at where that took me, so far behind on the podcast I kind of gave up and giving up is not a good idea, look at what happened, I ended trying to catch up this week towards the end of the week. With Finale week beginning less then 24 hours from now, I gotta make sure to post up the Big Brother Canada RECAP today at the most.
To gain a follower ship or a good fan base like I have, you have to work hard, gotta promote your content each and every time you post up content you have to do the PR work behind it. What I do is give a far warning like a 1 hour warning till the content comes out or the exact time it goes up. I also take advantage if I have to run out to do errands or have an appointment or in bed when content goes out late, I use the scheduling feature on Twitter and is the only time I will use the feature, 99.9% of the time I am posting up things live minus if I am in bed early or out on errands or at an appointment, I find it good tool to have especially if I am on a very busy day and I tend to forget to post up the content links, whoops! I was given advice from someone who told me PR is the most important thing when it comes down to promoting content.
The final point I would like to make is try and make a schedule when your content comes out, so your fan base knows when the content is out on time and yes I realize I am off schedule myself but working hard to get it out on time on schedule. But scheduling is key, especially if you want to keep the fan base happy and not lose fans over content being up late.... Cough, cough I am a prime example but I am sure if your fans are understanding, I know you guys who read this blog and understand my recent circumstances. If you are going to be away like I was in April, you gotta get a make up schedule made or work around being away this way you do not miss the content going out and have it posted up the following week. Hope this advice helps you guys out and feel free to ask questions in the comments below, I will be sure to answer them and never know I may do a follow up.
Have a great day!

ChrisBOnTheWeb.com Update
You're all wondering, why the hell is the site taking so long to re-launch ChrisBOnTheWeb.com? Did I quit rebuilding it? Is the project on hold? Was it scrapped? Well I will answer it with a No, it is still being worked on, it is just slower then usual. The website is not scrapped or on hold or I quit the re-building process. Let me tell you there are two of us fixing the site behind the coding of the website and like I said in yesterday's blog post, I was behind on podcasts and let me say after yesterday I am officially caught up to the Friday episode. The schedule I have each and every week it just not allow me to have time to record right now.
Like I said from the get go, that I have no timeline to the re-launch of the site as I have said time and time again, the podcasts is what takes the longest time to put together, each and every season, has so many episodes that need to be placed back onto the website. So right now, I cannot even tell you how much longer the site will take as I am probably at least, almost half way, maybe half way now, I would think I am about near or at the half way mark at this point of the process. Also I have been testing, as each and every page is done, making sure of the SEO is set up the way I want it to look. So between the coding process, I am constantly testing closed site and I have opened the website a bit, I won't lie, I have been teasing you guys and I have probably said it time and time again that I have opened the website. For those who have seen the site open a tad, hope you like the tease of what the site will be when it is fully opened and up and operating. Please do note I am back with my former provider 000webhost, I transferred the site work back there due to the IP Bnanning tool does not work on the other provider so I am back on 000webhost and yes the site will be asleep but it will go down for an hour a day as of 3 am EST. Come January I will be moving over to the more permanent home for CBOTW.
What is going to happen when the site is finished? Well I was thinking of a closed BETA Testing to my former Moderators of the group, so they can help me with finding bugs and problems on the site. Then the site will closed again for fixing any of the bugs on the website, followed by a 12 hour Open BETA for one more quick session to test again, then the site will be closed up for the final bug fixes before the site re-launch is officially announced and the countdown begins then finally the site launches and I will fix any of the site issues on the fly once launched if any do occur or you guys find any, please report them to webmaster@chrisbontheweb.com

I Truly Need To Be More Organized With Everything Involving CBOTW!
I haven't been ever since just before Easter, not the most organized person in the entire world recently, however, I am wanting to rectify all of the issues and lack of organization fixed and fast, I do not want to lose the fan base whatsoever and this year I have had tons of love and support this year so far so I know you guys are being patient and yes I am still new to the podcasting world but this is ridiculous of being not on schedule. I will explain a few of my faults.
First fault I would like to note is when the week leading up to Easter Sunday, I was away from the studio quite a lot over the course of the week and I didn't schedule things too well. I could of released Survivor in the late Afternoon, which I was suppose to but I didn't. Next was the Big Brother Canada 6 RECAP, I had to re schedule with being away in Toronto and was aiming at Saturday afternoon to record and non of that was done. The next fault I made, was the week I was out of town at the Big Brother Canada Live Eviction which I cannot talk about production (Sorry!) but I was away for that and I just didn't recover from it since. Also note that was the time I was dealing with my back woes which you guys know a lot about by now, that has been a factor in the scheduling has been extremely poor and I understand your frustration over it. Let me say I stayed up all night last night during the night to just get things done and plus I just couldn't sleep as I had a lot on my mind. Yes a lot of the things on my mind, is the website, being behind on podcasts, getting blog posts out, getting ready for the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers so there is a lot going on in my head 24/7.
My first thing I want to fix the scheduling with the podcast as it was a mess and content out on time is my number priority from anything else with Chris B On The Web and hopefully by end of this week, I will have accomplish that goal with being on schedule as I enter the Finale Week for Everything About Reality TV Big Brother Canada 6 Recaps and I am planning to record this morning, edit as much as I can this morning, finish up when I get home then up in the evening before I am in bed. Then Thursday morning, back to the regular routine tomorrow morning with Survivor Ghost Island, lets hope podcasts.com lets me uploads. Then Friday morning recording it it goes up in the evening then next week is a new week! That is my plan and I plan to stick to it and start fixing what I have messed up little over a month ago.

I Need To Be More Patient With Everything!
I know I am a very inpatient person at time, especially right now with the recent website delay of the rebuild and i know it feels like a freakin month which I believe it is close to a month now since I initiated the site to make a return. The part that takes forever is the amount of the podcast episodes I have done in a very, very short time. I know you guys know I am very heavily involved with the operations of both Everything About Reality TV & The CBOTW Show, well you know I am the Executive Producer of both podcasts, so I have a heavy say what goes on.
I know I have been hyping up the return of the website quite a lot and teasing you guys with opening the site partially to give you all an idea what it is going to look like with the new Grey Background of the website. I have had a bit of help but with them recently quitting, I am now back on my own to do all the dirty work of the website. I know it is quite a lot going on with both the podcasting and blogging world between working on the site, but i have to realize, the blogs and podcasts come first as content is what keeps you guys happy and content each and everyday and you love to hear what I think of things and trust me over the next 2 days, I got 2 great blog posts that have to tie into this topic today.
Yes I have to be patient through this very, very long process of building the website, there will be coding, then testing, coding, more testing, its a repetitive process and i wish I can launch one page at a time but I rather have a fully re-built website before I actually launch but yes I started to tease you guys with the website open a tad. I am giving you guys a taste. But patience is very essential this time around as I probably have mentioned on Social Media, the Late Winter/Spring are the busiest times on the year for me in the way of podcasting as I not only cover the actual episodes of Big Brother Canada but the live feeds as well, so I am working double shift 16 - 18 hours of everyday and sometimes it is hard to sleep at night too but podcasts and the blog posts come first in my books before the site being fixed up but I am working hard on the site, it will take sometime but I gotta remember, Patience is a Virtue or slow and steady wins the race (Even though I am not racing to get it done!)

Everything About Reality TV & The CBOTW Show Announcement (Apr 29th/18)
I have been thinking about everything very clearly lately and I made this decision and it was hard as I have been thinking about it and here is the Big Announcement I have been holding back for the past couple of weeks, dreading making the announcement but why would I hold back an announcement that is great news? Because it is very exciting news to be coming out to you guys.
So the news is I am renewing Everything About Reality TV Podcast for Season 7 & 8, that's right I am renewing the podcast for the Summer 2018 season, but not only the Summer, but also the Fall 2018 season too. In today's blog I will be covering which Reality TV shows I will be covering for each season and plus an idea I got in my head but not sure if it is possible for it to happen but we will have to see. Also The CBOTW Show will be more on the active side after it only had a few week stint On-Air.
Summer 2018:
This summer I will be covering once again, like I did last year Big Brother (Big Brother 20) and also will be covering Amazing Race Canada 6 as i normally plan on doing each and every summer for you guys. Now I have been talking to my parents and there may be plans to go away but with the upcoming kitchen renovations coming up, that may prove to not happen possibly. If I can find someone I may find someone to cover Big Brother US 20, just to take the pressure off of me and you never know my team could even start growing again as there is something you guys do not really know yet but I will tell you guys in time what I mean. Even if I do not go away, still would be nice to give someone an opportunity to help out but if not that's fine. I am ready to make the moves and rebuild the team from the ground up. The CBOTW Show Podcast will be seeing 3 brand new episodes of the podcast as myself and Larry will be starting up a Power Rangers Talk on the podcast 4 times a year. This summer we will talk about The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in 3 parts on 3 different weeks in a 2 week interval.
Fall 2018:
In the Fall, as it has been recently announced that Survivor will be back in the fall for Season 38 and I already assume and know that it is for Season 37 & 38 which puts a big smile on my face to be actually able to recap Survivor once again. Now YES! I am aware that Amazing Race has been renewed for Season 31 and do not know when it will air as it has been left off the schedule for right now until I know when it will air on TV again. Also in the fall, The CBOTW Show Podcast will be back to scheduled episodes with the Hell's Kitchen 18 Recaps returning to Chris B On The Web. So a busy and hectic Fall and Summer but a fun 2 season for both of the podcasts and I hope you guys enjoy the episodes!

The Plan & Future of Chris B On The Web's Podcasts...
I hate to make this announcement but it has to be done and it is one of the hardest announcements to make at this time but it has to happen. As you know, the CBOTW Podcasts are on TuneIn.com, ITunes & Player FM and Podcasts.com is where the RSS Feed is from. Podcasts.com is the main feed which is fed to the other 4 platforms. So as you know by social media aka Twitter, I couldn't upload to Podcasts.com and frankly, I am was not one bit happy and it doesn't look good on me and for those who were on the platforms that were subscribed I feel bad for you guys not getting the CONTENT you wanna hear.
So what is the plan for the nearby future? Well with the website now not in limbo and I am on a more sturdy web builder for right now at least, till end of the year till i move to the more permanent home, this website will have to do for now and I don't mind it at all, whatsoever, it stalls the time from one site to another. But back to the talk about what if Podcasts.com goes down on me again in the nearby future where I cannot upload a podcast to their website. Well the plan is ChrisBOnTheWeb.com will always be the alternative website for the content and it is guaranteed of being up 24-7 and you guys can always check on there if you do not see a podcast up with podcasts.com, TuneIn, ITunes or Player FM. There is my website which is the heart and soul of CBOTW and always will be the heart and soul.
Please note that I did email Podcasts.com support right away to make them aware of the situation and that I couldn't and I am nothing but thankful for their quick and effective response to my email so things can be figured out and resolved quite quickly. This is the plan for the future of CBOTW and I plan on changing things around so everything is still coming out as normal, but just will not be on the 4 platforms if I cannot upload it to the platform. So this is the move I am taking for right now, If I need to tweak in the nearby future I will be sure to let you guys know before anymore changes are made, it was quick on the spot this happened.

High School Traveling To Classes (Throwback Thursday Story)
I don't think I ever talked about this in the blog but this is once again another THROWBACK Thursday Story for you guys! This one is a cool one and it is in two parts, the first paragraph will contain the travel music, the second part the other music they played during travel to classes at the start of the day and after Lunch.
So just after the warning bell, just before the period starts they played the William Tell Overture which was created by Giachino Rossini which is very easy to YouTube the tune but in case click this Link To William Tell Overture if you don't know what the tune is like but trust me it is the theme to the old TV Show and they also did a movie while back, "The Lone Ranger" which is that is where the history of the song came from. So yes they played it just before first period and right after Lunch just as we were traveling to 3rd period class so it made traveling to class a lot more fun I guess you would say. Did I not like hearing the song from time to time, yes, just because towards the end of the year before summer came around I was just fed up of hearing it but it is a good way to make sure the slackers as Mr Strickland from Back To The Future would say, get to class and I knew a few students who liked to skip classes, especially from my BIC Class (Behavioral Intervention Class) and my Homeroom as well who were skippers.... SMH! I was actually the first person from that class to graduate out of BIC, so I had the great honor of being the first person to graduate from the BIC Program there at O'Neill C.V.I.
Now latter half of O'Neill they did this fundraiser if we fill up this big water jug which is used for the water coolers they will stop playing MmmBop by Hanson. I pretty much brought in every single penny (which still existed back then, as we do not use the penny here in Canada anymore), nickel, dime, quarter into the office so they can just stop playing the stinkin song. I was sick of it, the students got sick and tired, I think there was enough complaints they stopped playing the song all together which mind you it was a relief to hear that they stopped it.
It was definitely interesting way to travel from and to class and I got plenty of High School and College throwback stories to tell and please let me know in the comments below what other throwback stories you would like to hear, whether it is High School, Elementary School or even College, I will be more then happy to tell it. I am very much an open book to my days in School and I got a few other ideas in mind as I was searching through old posts on my blog so I got a clear idea what other posts I could do in the nearby future.

So just after the warning bell, just before the period starts they played the William Tell Overture which was created by Giachino Rossini which is very easy to YouTube the tune but in case click this Link To William Tell Overture if you don't know what the tune is like but trust me it is the theme to the old TV Show and they also did a movie while back, "The Lone Ranger" which is that is where the history of the song came from. So yes they played it just before first period and right after Lunch just as we were traveling to 3rd period class so it made traveling to class a lot more fun I guess you would say.

Toronto Blue Jays Last Couple of Games
I was asleep obviously before the game even finished up for the night but I woke up this morning and realized that actually the Blue Jays beat the Red Sox 4 - 3. A win is a win and we will take it. But it was a very good game by the sounds of it. Jays are going to become a great team in the next year or so, they got young talent who wanna win. I know they have had difficulty beating the Yankees but in time they will beat em. Yankees have Aaron Judge and a bunch of other good players.
Yankees however, what I heard there is a bit of drama between the Manager since Joe Girardi the former Manager wasn't resigned as manager for this season so the new manager and the players, their seem to be a bit of arguing between the players which is probably why the team unity isn't all there. Both my dad and I thought the Yankees were going to win it all this year with Aaron Judge being their big name player that can help them to another World Series but with the Jays now ahead of the Yankees but not by much but they are second in the AL East Division right now. If they can continue on and keep on winning and actually win the series, they will be closer to the top to Boston. I am not giving up on the Jays, don't worry, they actually surprised thus far in the season and it is still fairly early in the year to be giving up on them at this point.
Jays are vibrant team, with experienced players to help them along the way. Granderson is one of the players who had a walk off home run last night which gave em the big W, which we will take it. I don't mind them rallying after the 7th, it makes watching the game even more and more exciting and yes I watched the majority of the game before nodding off in my bed early last night around 930 pm so I got to see a lot of the game but will be flipping around between Big Brother Canada, Survivor & The Hockey and baseball game. I will be discussion the Leafs final game on Friday's blog post as tomorrow is THROWBACK Thursday blog post!

Back Spasm Update & Podcast Scheduling Mishaps
As you all know I have been dealing with back spasms and it has been extremely hard to stay on track with things lately and I am truly sorry about that but my back is more important to get better and it has been better however, I have fell behind and yet to keep up. Today and tomorrow will be crucial to catching up and staying caught up. Ever since this back spasm I have falling so behind on the podcasts it has been hard to try and keep up with them and this is why I am so behind and half the time I do not use the hashtag #BBCAN6 on twitter anymore too often.
How am I getting better? I am doing exercise everyday to ensure the spasms are loosened up as it was very, very tightened up but it is totally different then it use to be so it is progressing slowly but surely. It is one step at a time. One side of my back is feeling better, the right side still tightened up but if I keep up with my exercises, 2 - 3 times a day, I will truly feel better and got a better back then I did few weeks back when I was in constant pain.
I take it one day at a time, I am slower then I am normally but again it doesn't really help the fact I cannot bring out the content to you guys on the schedule I set back at the start of the New Year, but I plan to try and repair the trust I have broken with you guys to being on a timetable that was broken the week before Easter but with my back now on the mend, by the end of this week, I will be back on the right track and having podcasts out on schedule.

Internet Update
So as you know I have had a few issues with the internet and still have the odd issue this morning but for the most part it is operational but keeping an eye out on it over the next couple of days. Now this morning, I had a internet connection issue after I took the WiFi off still it is a bit of a problem with it but like I said I will keep an eye out on things. Is it annoying that the problem is still occurring? Yes of course! I mean if you think about it I upload the podcasts to the platforms and it takes quite amount of the resources to upload the content for you guys.
What will I do if I still get a internet connection error now that the WiFi setting is off and I am using the hard wire for the internet? I plan on contacting my Internet Service Provider aka Rogers and try to figure out what is going on with my connection. Now mind you my phone connection to the WiFi is fine, I may end up trying to reboot the system see if that helps with the connection. Maybe that is what my PC needs is a reboot as it has been running non stop 24-7 so my PC is telling me I am tired of running non stop 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the past 7 weeks now, soon going onto 8 weeks ever since Big Brother Canada has started so I think the computer is a bit slower as it hardly gets rebooted and I should ever day or ever 2nd day at the most.
Really I do not know what the problem is, I know I thought the hard wire was the issue but I worked with the WiFi card for a bit with no problems. So I am completely confused what to do or what the problem is with the internet and maybe this is the time I need to reach out with Rogers and see what they say about the situation but again by tomorrow or Tuesday I will be deciding what I wanna do, I know I got options and shouldn't be afraid to explore options!

Rogers Internet Is Really Getting On My Nerves!
Last night kind of stuck my last nerve with Rogers Internet, had nothing but connection issues with my internet and trying to get podcasts out it doesn't make things easy for me whatsoever but hey I am trying the best I can to get the content so that is one of the reasons why sometimes the internet fails me and it isn't my fault when Rogers wants to be stubborn with me to keep the connection flowing. Just another disadvantage sometimes as a podcast but hey expect the unexpected like the Big Brother Canada & Big Brother motto goes. I had connection issues with the web builder on 000webhost as you know my website is currently down still at the moment but working to get it back up soon!
So what was the problem with my connection? Well sometimes it tells me I am not connected to the internet when. I look at the front of the WiFi to see if the two blue lights are on and they are! So I am not sure what exactly is going on with the the connection. I tried resetting the router that didn't work, I attached the hard wire that goes from the PC here in the studio to the router and long behold it worked! Go Figure one thing actually works, I yet to try and disconnect it from the PC or Router to try the WiFi card and to see if that possibly failed but this computer I got about 3 or 4 years ago due to my old one and the blue screen of death on the custom built and don't get me wrong, I liked having a custom built computer but this Acer computer has really done the job really well and has been running non stop for the past 8 weeks now with the screens off at night but it is always on standby for things. So anyways back to what I was saying, I doubt it was the WiFi card, as I stated above my computer is not even 5 years old yet or it around that, I think it was in 2014 when I got it so next year would of been the 5th year since I got it. Please do note that I haven't had the best relationship with Rogers over the past years, it's a love/hate relationship with the internet from time to time... LOL. We got a new WiFi router so that is definitely not the problem there
What is the plan if Rogers Internet continues the way it is? Well for once I will be personally calling them up and complaining to them with the internet issue and ask if it is possible to have my IP address reset and see if that makes any difference? Maybe I am getting attacked? My internet works half the times? Haters will hate obviously but come on I gotta get the content out someway, somehow and having internet working half the time ain't going to help me whatsoever. So Rogers Internet YOU HAD ONE JOB!
