Christmas Market Is Happening This Year-- I'm Not Breaking My Word!

                The title doesn't lie, I know the Christmas Market is happening, but I refuse to go as we're still in a pandemic and I am not about to risk myself getting sick. Not only that, I already told you guys that I wouldn't be going to events till next year and that promise will not be broken whatsoever. I have a plan and I honestly need to stick to the plan moving forward and I am not about to break the promise or my word. I do not care, I am not getting sick for anything, not risking my life and getting sick from a  pandemic. I know and realize that there will be restrictions and limitations at this event but still we have to travel from here to Toronto by train and back and I am nowhere near ready for that far of a journey. I really do not care about going to Toronto right now my health and safety is more important then some Market right now. 

                Remember what I said-- I would start with local events first in my region not Toronto right straight off the bat and I plan on keeping my word on that to be honest.  Why rock the boat at the moment? I just not feeling that ready to actually make this move, not right now/ I don't care if I am being called stubborn, I am doing what is best for me in the end. Like I said my health means more then anything in the world right now then going to Toronto. It will happen in the nearby future but not right now. That is all I have to say on this matter and it is too early to take the risk and rock the boat. We still have between 300 - 600 cases a day which is quite high and now it is not the time to play around like this. I will talk to you tomorrow for the end of the week updates.

Lots going on and will be active and busy the next few months with the podcast on top of my normal podcast so plenty of content is coming your way.

My Plan When The Studio Opens Up To Visitors Again

                My plan right now is for an April opening of the studio which will allow visitors to the studio and YES, including Larry as we plan on getting him back in studio for Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast. So the plan when I open the studio is I'm going to do the unveiling of the studio as we never done that when the studio reno was finished last year. Also when a visitor arrives they will have to:

- Sign The log book and there will be a log book at a point but not right now as I need to put those together. They will have to sign their name and contact information as this is required by the health and also Government of Ontario in case someone does get sick and have to get in touch with them. Will probably in affect for at least a year. 

- Also they will have to sanitize, however some may be allergic to the sanitizer so the other option is they can wash their hands on the opposite side of the studio as we require clean hands when in studio. 

- I will be also constantly cleaning the studio not that I do it now, cause I am constantly always cleaning the space no matter what but especially with the return of visitors.

- Masks as of April will not be required but can be worn if visitors do not feel comfortable enough with them on as restrictions will be removed at the end of March next year hopefully with cases lower then they have been lately.

               There is the plan moving forward and so excited for visitors to the studio and getting podcasts back to the studio and seeing familiar faces in person. It has been a long almost 2 years and it is time for us to get back into a new normal in the way of content. That is my post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Minecraft-- End of an ERA & New World!

             Well it is an end of an era for the long running Minecraft server that has had a lot of twists and turns, 3 different railways in 3 different directions, the massive compound that we had built with a glass dome. I ran out of things and ideas to come across to building so after discussing it with my niece and nephew, I have saved the world on my USB key and decided to start over with a different type of world, more of a flatland which you cannot dig too far down or you fall out of the world.  I will get to that shortly as I wanna finish up my update on the old world. I redid the entire end house in the northern region from wood to complete stone and I believe there is still stone there for expansion above but that isn't happening anytime soon or ever. I am ready for a new and more innovative project in this world at this point and like I said I ran out of ideas on the server as there is so much you can do over time. 

            Now the new world is going to be the building of a city starting with City Hall which will be definitely like my city hall, I plan on trying to replicate the city hall we have here and it will be quite difficult to replicate and I will try the best I can to replicate it. I had to remove one of the beams that I have built because I wasn't happy with it whatsoever as it wasn't big enough for me and I want it a little bigger. There will be a library and would be neat to replicate the city hall and Memorial Park here like we have but we'll see how things go, the city hall is the first project which will take a while to build and what I will have to do is do a skeleton of the first level and the rest should come all together from there on out. That is my post for today, hope you enjoyed it and in a few weeks, I will update again but for right now, I have to work on this for a little while. I will talk to you guys tomorrow.

End of The Week Updates [11-05-2021]

                Another week has gone by and it is time for another end of the week update. Lots to update you guys, it has been a crazy week with getting work done and made some very important decisions that I have made this week but anyways here are the updates:

Website: Chat has done well and I'm sorry, I haven't been active in chat, been busy with the content but I am in there hiding out in chat and never know I may say something from time to time you never know but trying to be more interactive and transparent with you guys. As Savannah announced, 

Power Rangers Collab: This is the probably the longest of the updates but there is a ton of news that Larry and I have discussed. First of all the updates on the podcast as of right now. The plan is to finish up Jungle Fury notes and send em off next week to him and he knows that he will be waiting for em as just less then 2 weeks we record once again before a bit of a break till December. Following the conclusion of Power Rangers Jungle Fury, I am going right into RPM. I am not wasting any time to getting RPM done and sent out. Also following RPM, I will be working on Samurai and Super Samurai. Yeah I am going full force before a break is going to be required. Reminder that Larry and I are waiting to post up till both Operation Overdrive and Jungle Fury are recorded. Either way, busy, busy with content. The next thing is Larry will be doing one off podcasts between the seasons and we do not know when we will record those but we will let you guys know when we plan on those. Finally some news on the forefront Larry mentioned the Sentai adaptation of Power Rangers so sounds like they will be indeed doing more seasons, Season 29 is pretty much a thing and Season 30 too so this podcast is not going anywhere anytime soon. 

                 Those are the updates for this week, most of the updates were Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast related but that is the information I have been sitting on all week and excited to tell you guys all this crazy news. I am sure Larry and I will once the one offs are done we have movies and what not to cover we have plenty of content as I wanna activate that Collab tab as it's been sitting there unclickable for quite sometime. However that is it for today, have a great weekend and talk to you all Monday!

Retro Gaming (Memories As A Kid)

                This year, I got to experience this and honestly it brought back memories as a kid. I got to play Nintendo again, Super Mario Brothers which is very retro from the 90s and boy I stunk.... LOL... I think out of all the times I played, I cleared the level once out of all the attempts which goes to show how bad I was at it... haha. Either way it was fun to play to be honest. Next up on my retro gaming was NHL which was weird to play as the last time I played it was when my brother was still living here at home and that was a long time ago. I really stunk at that too as I kept on putting the puck in my own net... LOL... Whoops. Anyways it was fun despite Montreal Canadians beat the pants off of me cause of my own stupidity. I'd like to put a note that this was on the Sega Genesis System. 

               Other retro games I played was the Ren and Stimpy game which was a ton of fun back in the day and really enjoyed playing it in general. Also Sonic The Hedgehog which my niece and nephew have been playing it and am glad they have been introduced to the older video games back then. Either way it is was fun to play the games again and being reintroduced back to retro gaming and playing games that I grew up with and it is always nice to relive my childhood. That is my Throwback Thursday story for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow for the end of the week updates!

Minecraft-- Got A Minecart Theft & Abandoned Railway

                Recently I have caught a zombie taking one of my niece and nephew and mine minecart in the act and I do not know what right they have to stealing our cart. Who knows where the carts disappeared to cause there are 3 directions the carts can go into the main North and South or East and West the cart could be at any of those directions and I would have to go take a trip down all 3 lines to just see if there is a cart. I am not sure if this has anything to do with an update to the game and it could of been that but the buggers had the nerve to go on a joy ride on my cart. Now I cannot even trust leaving a cart on the rails without the carts taken out on a joy ride so now I have to go looking for it and dunno how many have been taken out and I will have to see and will be funny how many they've stolen on me.

                Now the other part is the abandoned railway in the north end of the railway as I consider the front south and the back north but the north side at the now bigger wooden house since I have expanded and it is now more spacious then it was before and has a facility that houses a storage unit on the downstairs. I am not yet done with it, just been dealing with this zombie joy riding problem on there. Anyways beyond the end of the line at this wooden house which eventually I wanna try and relocate the house closer to the railway but beyond the wall where the button is an abandoned railway.  When I built it originally it continued on and it went far beyond this island. There are rails placed down on the bed of the railway so I guess it was suppose to been used when the railway was first put down is my guess but the power rails are not powered. So right now it is abandoned. Who knows if I will use it but it's sitting there unused at this moment. That is my post for today, I will talk to you guys tomorrow!

Personal Website-- Coding Issues, etc!

                  Yes! There was a personal website and I wish I had the screenshot of what it looked like but I asked Savannah to remove it or more or less she told me there was issues with the menu bar and the header not space each other and Savannah and myself worked on it for an entire day tinkering with the code and the issue wasn't being resolved so we scrapped the entire website but it was looking like an awesome website what was completed before scrapping it all together and you guys would loved it, really I mean it was an awesome website. It is what is is in the end and these things happen, not sure even to this day I know what went wrong because to be honest, it was the same code this website has.... LOL! We literally stole the code from this website as it was a base for us to trying to build this.

                  Anyways that is now in the past and the plan is to continue on with this website and later when I decide to stop as a content creator, I plan on maintaining this website and keep the archives alive. Probably the schedule and podcasts tabs will not exist it'll probably end up being a smaller scale kind of website then it is now but I may just leave the schedule up to the last known schedule but who knows.  I do not really have a plan for how the site will look later on as right now as I do not plan on retiring anytime soon, I wanna continue on with this website and the content and right now there are no plans on me slowing the heck down anytime soon, there is plenty more to come and stay tuned! I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Not Even 24 Hours Later and Podcast Has Done Well!

        It hasn't been even 24 hours and the podcast has done so well for not even 24 hours old. This goes to show, I have worked extremely well on shows and the combination of stories about my days on YouTube and podcasting and an array of different topics that I have done thus far in the last year and a half has proven to have done extremely well. I think going back to podcasts.com proven that this podcast has a spot in the inter webs. I know I have my share of technical issues with the platforms but I have come through all of these this issues that I have had over the course of the last year and a half since the podcasts inception on March 8th of 2020.

 

           Right now I am riding on an all time high and I think and know that I have found the right podcast for me which is Entertainment Man Podcast and I can see myself doing this for 2 more years at the most, probably many years from now. Yes I said 2 or more cause I have already put out an outline for not just 2022 but 2023. I am looking into the long run of this podcast. It is doing so well, may as well continue on growing this thing bigger and better each and every week. Same with the bonus episodes it does well but not as well as a regular episode on Sundays but remember it's only a bonus and it is a shorten version of the podcast. I think between the 17 and 21 minute mark, I have hit the sweet spot for the podcast and that is what matter. I am very impressed how well it's done. That is my post for today, have a great rest of your Monday and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

End of The Week Updates! [10-29-2021]

                   Another week has gone by and we have come to a reset with CBOTW. No, no podcasts have been restarted I mean as a community as a whole. As I said yesterday it is now a reset except certain people that are not allowed back. Anyways here are the updates:

Website: Website is totally done, no plans to expand on the website at this time. I think there is nothing that Savannah and I could add to the website to be quite honest. I think we have added as much as we humanly can add to the website at this moment and I am quite happy with the state of the website. Now it is more about keeping the site updated with blogs and podcasts at this point. One thing we did add back is the chat and it is now under "Chat Lounge" which can be found on the sidebar of the website on the right side. We will not be removing it in the nearby future it is here to stay, whether it is used or not.

Entertainment Man Podcast: Starting Monday, I will be starting to work on 2022 episodes moving through the twists and turns of 2022 and the addition of 2 interview slots per month with extra episodes added into the mix in case of no interviews certain weeks so I am prepared to go either way.

Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast: Jungle Fury is not finished yet and I have made the decision as you guys know by my post on social media that I am going to be sending them next week when finished so he has it then I think I am going to get a start on RPM type em up on November 8th, 2021, then start working on Samurai and Super Samurai.  Then I will be on a break till April when I start the shift to Megaforce and Super Megaforce.

                         Those are the updates for the week, a few updates to say the lease and I am sure I will be getting more updates next week what is next for the projects and I will keep you guys informed with updates as things continue to progress. Another big week coming up for me and plenty of content to prep for the upcoming year. So have a good weekend and I will talk to you all Monday.

I Need To Do Better With Problem Solving In This Community!

                     I know at times, I have hidden and not said anything on social media or moments I go entirely "radio silent" on most platforms, you know something is up. I tend to go quiet when I go into one of my moods or some drama went on, I do not take it on directly, I avoid the situation and not deal with it. I've noticed I have distanced myself more and more from this group and I should remain active but sometimes it is just hard for me to deal with so much going on. I need to stop distancing and problem solve. Also I find myself not listening to both sides of the story, I just overreact and drama ensues. So I have to start being more assertive and actually face the problem head on, rather then go ban happy and I have been going ban happy on the group especially. I counted at least 8 to 10 people have been banned but I have taken majority of the bans off minus 2 individuals. 

                 Trying to make it right especially in this community and starting now is a clean slate, I wanna start over as I have been too unfair with some of you and communication is key. I do not want to come over strict and that is how I feel I have been feeling like I have abused my power as Founder/Owner and losing too many followers and I gotta stop the bleeding to be honest. I mean I have to fix this community before it crumbles like The Video Projects Team once did which was one of the reasons that community crumbled which drama was  a factor as well in the last year of it's operation. That is the one thing I am scared of is when CBOTW hits 8.5 years it will all coming crumbling down once again and I do not want that to be a repeat but fair warning any issues gone forever. Consider this a fresh start as I banned so many people on the group and now only 2 are currently under a ban. This is a fresh start for all of us and this year has been hard for all of us and so many changes with podcasts and hopefully moving forward things will be better. That is my post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow!
