Blog Post 900! What A Ride It Has Been!

            When I started to blog fully it was a long way back and if I go back to the first blog I did was March 25th, 2015 about a week after my aunt passed away, I posted up my first ever post and back then the blog was embedded to the original ChrisBOnTheWeb.com when I had the domain back in the day and was with that other website that seemed to have a grudge against me and suspend me twice for no apparent reason. Anyways I posted very little at the start but when I went on my own and YouTube became a thing of the past for me I went into blogging full time and I actually enjoy going to events which I need to talk to you guys about that this for this with Co-Vid19 currently going on. It has been a long journey and I have come a long way and in the past 5 years almost as the 5 year anniversary is 12 days away which I will do a post about it but I have gotten better at writing posts and better at my writing. I am lost for words to actually be at this amount of posts and it has been a crazy posting up on almost a regular basis.


             Now I am 100 posts from the 1,000 (1K) mark and I should do something special for that and I do have ideas right now that I can do but that is 100 days and probably during the summer or early summer when I hit the 1000 mark. Either way I am proud of myself for the way I have improved things and grown as a blogger. I enjoy going to the events and talking about various things and moving forward I plan on continuing on keeping on what I am doing the same and not make anymore changes at all to the way I am doing things. I think I am very content with the way things are and just happy with the way things are. If that is the way I am happy then I  am going to leave things as it is and not change a thing but this year there might be changes with events but sometimes I have to go with the flow of things especially with everything that has gone on recently.

I Never Told You Guys This!

              Last month, the website saw a brand new record as you know the website itself get between 2000 and 2600 views but last month we saw massive more amount. We saw 4000, yes 4k in views on the website which I didn't tell you guys this the other day when I made the announcement 2 days ago. Anyways it a lot of views within the month and I am quite impressed. I guess the next step is 5k in views? Who knows but I am not rushing anything really. Like the quote says: "You Cannot Rush Greatness" which is totally right and you cannot push the issue. However I have been working so hard on growing the website and even today when I just saw I was just tad below the 100 mark which means I have gotten views, so you guys are always checking to see if any new content is published on the website which is great! There is a few new pages that I did forget to mention The Entertainment Man Podcast and Archives Pages but you guys have found it I'm sure in the drop down. 


             However I am getting off topic, the growth on this website has indeed been impressive and let's just continue to keep on growing the website and bringing in new content to the website. I also am planning something else that will even bring the numbers up even more and yes I am referring to the Power Rangers Podcast as there is an announcement that I will be dropping on the blog on Sunday as both Larry and I have talked yesterday for about 20 minutes about this and I will be announcing it on Sunday. Anyways the point is this announcement will be a big move not for just Larry and I but also for the website which will be bringing in more numbers and even more growth to the website. So that is what is going on with the website and I know it's exciting that we have marked another milestone. There will be plenty more of milestones and this is only the beginning for the website.

Super Girl, Season 2 Review

                So I have been holding this off almost an entire week but here is my thoughts on Season 2 of Supergirl. I have my thoughts on this season of Super Girl and I kind of started to sense Cat the Media Mogul of CatCo was on her way out and James was going to take over.  It was honestly another good season and I didn't know the actor who played Mon-El is married to Melissa Benoist who plays Kara Danvers aka Super Girl. That I found out by researching it online. Anyways the one enemy, Live Wire was one weird character but seems to be a memorable one that's for sure. I love the fact they still did the intro up to the 3rd Season of the show which I will get to in another post which is for another day. The show still shows the same action pack as always and always exciting to watch and the more I watch, the more I am hooked even more. Now the end of the season was exciting not just cause Superman shows up at the end (Sorry spoilers to those who never seen the show.) Winn finally joining the DEO was really neat to see as he is after all a computer nerd in the show and knows a lot of things. Live Wire, her character is quite an interesting character that's for sure.


               Anyways I will give this season a 10 out of 10 once again and excited to do the 3rd review this weekend maybe Friday but again it will depend when I finish season 3 of Supergirl this week and see how things go but the 3rd season will be the most important thing to do right now before I start working on Power Rangers Time Force, but you guys know I will probably watch Season 4 but my mom told me it gets really weird but either way I still enjoy this and going to give it a shot one way or another. I don't mind the weirdness of some of the episodes but I am more for the action which is one of the reasons I do enjoy the show. However I will eventually catch up and get up to speed on things. Anyways I hope you enjoyed some of the highlights and my thoughts on the season and look forward to reviewing season 3 sometime this week or during the weekend.

Couple of Updates I Want To Give You Guys!

                The last 24 hours has been a lot of drama but it will not be tolerated as I was extremely stressed out all day yesterday. I almost went on a Leave of Absence but it wouldn't had made sense as the blog and social media pages would be pretty silent.  I just do not want to go silent on you guys and I want to stay as active as possible. So that is the first thing I wanted to tell you guys. 


-  The next thing is some great news! I am officially got access to ITunes PodcastConnect and able to login again. Switched the information incase this happens again. So what I have done this morning is go ahead and submitted The Entertainment Man Podcast to the platform for approval so we will once again be back onto ITunes.

- Also the second thing I want to tell you guys we officially got approved onto TuneIn.com as I got the confirmation email in the CBOTW Email this morning so that is great and hope to have a full update soon on the platforms it is up.

- The third thing is the issue with Google Chrome it was our Chrome here in the studio that was the issue we were having and it was us and we are working around the clock to fixing that as right now we are using Firefox while we try and correct this issue.

- Finally we surpassed 70,000 (70K) here on the website which is incredible growth to the website and I never thought within a year of having the .com domain it would become so huge thing and it has done extremely well for us and we want to continue to grow and get bigger as we continue to grow this website. We get over 100 views a day and it continues to grow each and everyday.


               Those are the updates and what has been going on and I am feeling a tad bit better and today will be about my mental health today and getting back to a happier Chris. I know I am suppose to record today and I am going to try to even if it is this evening I will try and record so I can edit tomorrow throughout the day tomorrow and get that preview ready for you guys as I enjoy posting those up every week and  you guys seem to really enjoy getting a sneak peek and I plan on continuing with those to hype you guys for Sunday!

Hopefully by end of the week, I will have more of an update on it all.

Woke Up Excited For Today!

              I have been up since nearly 4 am this morning even with this Daylight Savings time but I just couldn't sleep anymore. I am just excited to put the podcast up on the platform and yes I said Platform as there is only 1 platform at this time for the podcast. We are starting out on a singular platform, podcasts.com. I am just excited to dive in and talk about Leisure things and nothing Reality TV on this podcast. I just needed this change and this morning I am just excited to post it up it going up and what you guys think of the first episode. Note I did go back to bed for a few hours but up in time to be at my niece and nephew's hockey game but will promise you guys I will definitely do some celebrating for the first episode going up with a favorite beverage of mine. That is a true promise and this is just the start of this podcast and I am excited for the weeks to come as I know the ideas that I have for future weeks coming up so I have a ton new ideas what I can do and what not. For now you guys have to enjoy the current episode. Also you guys will find the podcast on different networks but that is for a later time as right now we are just getting into this new podcast but I can tell you this week I will be working on things to get them on the platforms I mentioned.


             In the end I am excited and already getting podcasts put onto the different platforms as we speak and we are working hard to getting them on the platforms we want to put them on. I am starting small all over again and I honestly have done well even on my own without help of people and managed to work well. Yes I will still collab with Larry, he's not done me wrong recently and there is just way too much drama right now and me being a solo is the right thing and I am a lot happier today. I still got 2 moderators on the fan page to help make sure the page is smooth sailing from here. Either way we're still tweaking things around CBOTW and  in time we will be on a good pace. Also I got something in mind for a second podcast and possibly me being a Co-Host on but you will see in a later time. I hope you guys enjoyed this post and I am sorry I am really late but I had my niece and nephew's hockey game which was an interesting game but another story for another time, maybe Thursdays Throwback Thursday Story perhaps.

I'm More Productive Now Then Busy...

             Ever since Everything About Reality TV was cancelled, I have been a lot more productive then busy. I will explain what I mean; I have been mentally preparing for Power Rangers Time Force which I am officially starting on Sunday with watching the seasons of the series again to get ready for mid June when both Larry and I will be recording another podcast again. There is so much I can do now with my time and I plan on starting next week to prepare for the next podcast. As we get further into the show, I know it goes down to 20 something odd episodes. Anyways I can do a ton of watching and taking notes between now and June and get the ball rolling on it. I will have 3 months to get it done and I know I will get the ball rolling very quickly and we will stay on track with me recording my own personal podcast each and every week.  Also there has been things that I haven't worked on lately. Honestly I decided to just start Time Force ahead of time and never know I probably get it done in a week or two! I also been watching Super Girl but I will have to work between each of those but I think I am going to plan on finishing the Super Girl Season 3 and then watch 4 and 5 later time. 


                However my list is actually long but taking my time on things and not rushing things at all. I also have been tinkering with the website and I removed pages and several pages that are not relevant to the website like one other podcast that isn't going to be happening and also Everything About Reality TV Podcast has been archived under the https://www.chrisbontheweb.com/p/podcast-archives.html Page which has been updated in the last week since I made the announcement of the changes around CBOTW and with me going on as a solo podcaster and blogger. Honestly I am still getting use to the free time that I have between podcasts but it will take some time for me to get use to all the time I have on my hands but I promise you guys that I will take some time to myself between the podcasts and planning for myself. I know this is one of the reasons Everything About Reality TV ended as I was going non stop with myself. Either way I am very productive and getting the necessary things done in order to get ready to go for the next project and what not.

My Favorite Big Brother Canada Houses-- Rankings

              With watching the Big Brother Canada Premiere last night and Eric here, I got inspired to do this post. Now this was actually inspired before the premiere aired here in Ontario. So today's post is about my favorite houses throughout the seasons from 1 to 8. I think this is a fair list but here is my rankings for the houses past and also the current house for this season of Big Brother Canada Season 8:

1) Big Brother Canada 8- The Comic theme; I know it's early in the season right now but I love this theme idea for this year.

2) Big Brother Canada 7- The Spy theme; Loved the idea of James Bond kind of theme and it is definitely up there on my list.

3) Big Brother Canada 5- Space Ship; Another amazing theme and unfortunately was the last one before the hiatus which was short lived. However that is besides the point. Anyways it was the perfect theme for what was an epic season with half newbies and half vets.

4) Big Brother Canada 4- BB Grand/Hotel; Was one of my other personal favorites with the hotel like kind of theme. It was also fitting for our International guests that we had in the house, Nikki Grahame and Tim Dormer.

5) Big Brother Canada 6- Heaven & Hell; What a way to come back to a season after a hiatus and a season to give back to the fans this year for bringing the show back with a bang of a season!

6) Big Brother Canada 3- Steam Punk; Not a bad theme but it is not on the top of my list for seasons, however I liked the fact they had nothing in the house to start with and had to earn it back.

7) Big Brother Canada 2- Theme???;  Not sure really the theme for this season but I knew it had flowers but unfortunately at the bottom of my list as it wasn't my favorite seasons out of the 8 seasons of the show that we have had.

8) Big Brother Canada 1- No Real Theme, More Downtown Toronto theme I guess; As I said in the intro to this one out of the 8 seasons. Anyways, this was the first season and you would think this would be higher and not saying the season stunk but all the seasons were good this is the themes for each season for the ranking.


              That is my rankings and do you agree with me? Please let me know in the comments below. Also I realize this is early to post up and I should of waited till end of the season to do this but hey, I decided to do this now instead as this was fresh in the back of mind. Until the next post tomorrow.

Recorded My First Episode of The Entertainment Man Podcast!

                Yesterday I got to record my very first episode of The Entertainment Man Podcast which I was both nervous and also excited in the same aspect. However, I really enjoyed myself and enjoyed recording and spilling a lot of the secrets why I have this podcast which I said in the podcast I will be slowly revealing things to you guys. However, I do not want to spoil the episode for you guys honestly but you will see what I mean when it is released. However, after this episode that I recorded yesterday, I feel good actually. I feel really good about this episode and I noticed I was laughing a lot more then I have been in the last year. I think that stress I use to have is now gone and I can have fun with podcasting with different podcasts. Anyways, the podcast is coming out Sunday afternoon at 1 pm EST as I made a change in time and it is currently on Podcasts.com and I will be talking about what platforms that I am going to put it on and I rather wait till you guys hear it. I am just excited to post it up and excited for Sunday and wish Sunday would come sooner but patience is a virtue. I honestly cannot get over how excited I sound. Honestly yesterday I was feeling down that Everything About Reality TV Podcast ended but something sparked me and inspired me to record a podcast yesterday.


             I am currently editing or have edited the podcast and it is waiting for the next step which is going to be putting up the actual episode. Now I just have to wait the couple of days before it goes up so I can start on other projects which next week, I am going to be starting the next seasons of Power Rangers Podcast. So what I am trying to say I have a lot more time for other projects. I cannot wait for you guys to hear it and please enjoy episode 1. It may not be as long as I wanted but quality over quantity honestly however I wrote this post bright and early this morning I have to finish editing the podcast and have it on standby for the start of next week. I still have to put a schedule together when I record and editing schedule and of course add in the post and this is why I need my whiteboard back on the walls of this studio. Anyways enjoy the episode this weekend and any questions or even ideas for an episode please do let me know! This is the start of a whole new beginning for me and CBOTW and this is just the start!

Chicken Quesadilla-- Taco Bell Food Review

             I can say never again, I will have the Chicken Quesadilla from Taco Bell. Let's just say I wasn't pleased with it whatsoever. I was quite unhappy. The fries seem not too good even to the other store I went to in a previous food review.  The fries were not salted too well honestly so I will give it a 2.5 out of 5 as it tasted just bland honestly. Now the Chicken Quesadilla, there wasn't much in the meat inside it. There was a part where it was just flat with no meat whatsoever. Honestly I felt like there was just not enough in the meat more cheese that was in there. I feel like this was a 2 out of 5 this time around and I do not think I will even go back to that store at the mall for the food. Honestly this is my first bad review that I have done with Taco Bell and I honestly do not like doing these negative reviews but I gotta be open to the negative ones as well. I haven't had a problem with them in the past and just do not why. I kind of should of just got back to the burger place and have the Aussie burger which was the first initial thought but I went with Taco Bell.


               Well that is my review and sorry it wasn't overly exciting as I wasn't expecting this and I do not think I will complain about it to the company themselves as I know I just do not want to be a complainer and honestly it wasn't bad and I made an OK review and I hope this will not turn me off of Taco Bell but like I said yesterday, never again I will have the Chicken Quesadilla ever again. It is what it is and nothing I can do and I tried it and it is good I tried something new on their menu. I am always up to trying something new on the menu and there is nothing wrong with that. Well that is it for this review, I hope you guys enjoyed this food review and I have said this before but another one is coming soon with Pop Eyes in about a week and a half from now.

What Do I Think of Super Girl, Season 1?

               For those who didn't know I have been watching Super Girl thanks to my mom and Eric got me into those. However, I got right into them from the get go and happy to say I really have enjoyed this first season. Right now I am into the second season of the series and cannot wait to do another post for it. Now I had mixed feelings about the character Cat Grant of Catco but she grew on me pretty fast during the series. However that is short lived with the second season but that is another post for another time. Anyways, I was pretty excited to see Superman at the start but he wasn't remotely involved till the 2nd season but I will get to that another time. This show really reminds me of characters of the TV Series Superman which we know they are planning to do a Superman and Lois Lane series down the road.  The music or sorry, the theme song to Super Girl has a catchy tune to it. Now back to the series, its is very, very exciting as a series, so much action and sometimes confusing what is going on but either way I do understand after the fact.


                 One thing that bothers me is the fact they go to be continued, however I have to realize that I borrowed the first 3 seasons of the show from Eric and I have the ability to actually watch them back to to back without stopping. Now season 4 is not out on DVD yet but I will get to watch it soon enough I am sure. Again we are getting way off topic honestly. Season 1 was really, really good and I enjoyed the first season. Now I get to work on Season 2 which I should be done this week and I will have another season review ready for you guys to read. I will give this season a 10 out of 10 as I really enjoyed the action from start to finish and honestly it makes want to watch more. I hope you enjoyed this little review, I know I was all over the place but hey it's really my first TV Review on here and I know there will be more down the road.
