I'm Recording My 500th Episode as a Podcaster!

              Tomorrow I will be recording my 500th episode of the podcast and what an amazing podcast to pay homage to the last 500 episodes I have done whether it was Reality TV, Entertainment Man or The CBOTW Show. It has been such an amazing last 500 and I never thought I would get to this moment where I would be celebrating 500 episodes as a podcaster. The next big moment will be the 1000th episode then 5000 but I am getting a little ahead of myself.

             I have you guys to thank for supporting me the last 8 years since starting this podcasting and it has been such an amazing adventure for me! I have learned so much as a podcaster and you probably will hear this for me but either way I cannot wait for you guys to hear this episode of the podcast, was a great one that I did and yes it will be premiered this weekend as I promised that I would do a premiere this weekend. But for right now that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Auto Fest 2023

 

           What a weekend it has been! Been to two events over the span of 2 days on the weekend. First Fridays Kars on King which I covered and blogged about Saturday morning and yesterday's Auto Fest down at the lake yesterday. I couldn't honestly believe how many cars there was at the event. It would take us hours to go through every car there and nothing wrong with that really. We had no plan when it came to looking at the cars. We didn't look at every single but spent an hour and a half down there, was truly a lot of fun.

            We grabbed a hot dog/sausage and drink was great little treat for us both and cannot go wrong with one from a little BBQ stand there. Music was great and had the funniest oldie they played called "Beep, Beep!" I know it sounds funny for a name but they were known for the silly songs back in the 50's and 60's which is great. I could even do a blog about my favourite silly oldies songs. I really enjoyed this event and fortunate to have gone again 2 years in a row and as long COVID doesn't end up us with restrictions I will continue to go to the events no matter what. Anyways that will do it for today's post as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Kars on King 2023

           Yesterday, I went into the downtown for Kars on King. I am not sure if this is my second time and if I have been to the one last year and I could of with both my parents. Anyways, one of my cars that I saw is the Austin Mini aka the Mr. Bean car. One of my personal favourites actually. Saw a lot of different varieties of cars at Kars on King. I actually ran into friends of mine that I have been friends with for many many years now. Also my aunt and uncle we bumped into on the other end of the downtown and another friend of mine that I didn't see but knew she was there. 

         Now there was entertainment obviously between one of the major roads there which is called the 4 corners which is truly what it is called. When we came back around to the main stage there it was an Elvis tribute by a gentleman and boy he sounded like him actually, exact same voice as Elvis... He was really, really good! As you guys know there is always 2 cars that I hope to see, actually scratch that 3: Lemon car (Edsel); Delorean car and the Mr Bean car, Austin Mini which I saw. I can officially say I saw at least 1 of the 3 yesterday night. Anyways that is the blog for today, enjoy the rest of your weekend and talk to you all Monday.

New Strategy With Keeping Organized

             I have come up with a new schedule and came up with this whole method when it comes to keeping organized with content and getting things done. Now not everything is listed as I do have two other things on my list but this gives you a bit of an idea what my list looks like. It lays out my week and what needs to be done during the week. However I have to make sure to actually be prepared as interviews can pop up at anytime. I after all have 6 of the 7 days available for those. 

           I hope this will be helpful for me to getting me on track to sticking to the schedule as you guys know that I am behind schedule on and off recently. This is why I am now working on getting into a more of a routine and maybe this is actually something that I am missing is a routine. Sometimes I do not even go by a routine and routines are good and to have structure is good. This should help me moving forward and getting things done in a quicker pace. That is the post, thank you to those who read this post and I will speak to you all tomorrow.

I Did it Again!

            I am not a very organized person recently and I hate going back to my old ways when it comes to these blog and honestly ideas are getting harder and harder each and everyday I sit in my studio at my chair at one of the two computers I own. I feel like I've neglected this blog and feel like this isn't a priority anymore. It is a priority still just everything happening all at once right now. I am just not in the right frame of mind when it comes to all this work 

           Maybe it is time to put a long list of things that I need to do and a list that I need to do daily and during the week. Maybe it is time to utilize my sticky notes and fix this problematic because right now I am reversing all this progress I have done over the last almost month now and just gone backwards in time honestly but it is not late to reverse course and go back to sticking to a schedule. It is never too late for anything honestly but you have to remember to put in the effort in trying to get what is suppose to get done on time so it goes out on time especially when it comes to work. Hope you guys enjoyed this blog and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

ChrisBOnTheWeb Has Had Some Struggles

            Ever since Friday, ChrisBOnTheWeb has been all over the place. First the blog wasn't posted up till the evening and The CBOTW Show ended up an hour later then usual. That was strikes one and two within a day of this mess happening. Trust me I wasn't happy with the mishap after mishap and I should of done better when it came to posting up the blog and podcast I should of had the alarm going off at 9 am so I can work on both things and make sure things went out in a timely matter.             Now strike 3 was Sunday when I scheduled the blog for 1106 pm EST at night not at 9 am which gives it 3 hours to process to all the platforms and links goes out at 1 pm EDT. normally. I felt at the lowest of my all lows when it came to ChrisBOnTheWeb and I stopped writing this blog midway for the night Sunday evening to go to bed. 

           Now there is a lesson to all of this in the end to check everything online before it goes out and there is a limit to it like 20 minute window before a post goes out so meaning you can only schedule a post on Facebook 20 minutes or longer prior to the post is actually goes up. However this is about the podcast and there is a bigger limit as I need at least 3 hours to prior so it will process and that is what happened on Sunday. Hopefully this week, I will stay on track and bounce back from this and I know I will, just gotta stay positive in the end. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow for another blog post and I hope you guys have a fantastic rest of your day and will talk to you all tomorrow.

Rib Fest Oshawa 2023

            On the weekend, I went to Rib Fest locally and the first time going to the event since before COVID happened. It was a fantastic time with my dad. We enjoyed each others company. We had half a rack of BEEF ribs and yes I put BEEF in caps as it is important to note that we didn't have the pork ribs this time about but still it was really really good. They were as usual juicy and the sauce complimented the entire beef itself. Yeah it had the tough skin but wasn't like a lot of skin to remove but still it was good! 

         Also we had cornbread and this is a southern dish actually so. This is my first time having it and it was really good! I know it falls apart a bit more but still a very good bread. I'd have it again in a heartbeat. Like I said this was a first for me and I am always for trying something new actually. The final part of our dinner which made me crazy full was the cheesy mac and cheese and boy it was a cheesy mac and cheese I ever had in my entire life.They were more then generous with the cheese. I would give the food a 10 out of 10. The event we ran into fellow locals and listened to some Caribbean music which was fantastic. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow.

End of The Week Updates [08-18-2023]

            Another week has gone by and it is time for another end of the week updates. Well priorities are all over the place this week and why this blog is late going up on my website but anyways here are the updates:

Entertainment Man Podcast:  This podcast has been the main thing this week, editing it and getting it up for this weekend. Still working on it and struggling to get it up but working long, long hours to actually get it done.

The CBOTW Show:  I have continued to struggle get Power Rangers moving so Larry and I can finish these seasons and move on to other things.

Lack of Staying on Track Today: Well I apologize profusely for the lack of staying on schedule today, the podcast came out before this blog came out and the lack of updates from me. I admit Kelsie has been on me about getting things up and is concerned with my late nights again but I need to improve and keep on schedule moving forward. 

           Not too much for updates this week. Just working away with recording and editing and going to try this weekend and get moving on Power Rangers and have a bit of an easier weekend, no stress, no pressure cause come Tuesday I will be recording the bonus episode of the podcast  and my 500th podcast as a podcaster over the years so exciting stuff coming up. Anyways I am really sorry for a late post, have a good weekend and talk to you all Monday.

Sauter's Inn-- Food Review

             A week ago almost my parents and I went out to dinner Friday night to celebrate their 50th Anniversary which I have mentioned before days ago but this was the first of the two dinners. We ended up going out to Sauter's Inn In Pickering, Ontario which we have been there before prior to the Covid-19 Pandemic in August 2019 if I remember correctly. Anyways I had the Corden Bleu which had cheese and ham in the middle which was fantastic! A lot as it was thick but was juicy and really good the mozzarella cheese was running out of it! I would give it a 10 all day long. Never doubted anything would of changed prior to the pandemic, still the same amazing food as always. 

            Also had a New York Cheesecake which was like airy and very good with Chocolate Sauce dripped around the cake itself, was also amazing and gets a 10 out of me as well. I also liked the change of the paint as before it was dark when you go in there but the new blue/grey paint gives it a lot more light and I love they kept the same lights. They really did some improvements on that. Our server was amazing and big props to her super friendly service when she spoke to us to get our meal order and anything we needed during our visit. Service definitely gets a 10 out 10 as well. That is my review for today, I will most definitely be back in the future and I will speak to you guys tomorrow!

Taking Entertainment Man Podcast's YouTube A Notch!

          I have taken Entertainment Man Podcast's YouTube Channel a notch. Meaning taking it to the next level. That is what I wanted to do with it actually. I have actually use a side called https://www.befunky.com and also https://pixabay.com for my graphics. My team and I have been using this site for about a week almost and found it so much better then Paint.Net which was what we were using previously with our graphical projects especially for my Podcasts YouTube thumbnail that you see each and every week. I have put the template of mine on the right hand side so you guys see how we do it.

          Now we also use for the graphical end for the photos adding our own selfies into the graphics to remove the backgrounds for the selfies we used a website called https://www.remove.bg/ which all 3 websites are free to use and really helps with the quality of the banners and we may end up fixing all our banners for ChrisBOnTheWeb alone to look better and look a ton better. This is definitely going to help with the views and the complainers cannot go bashing the thumbnails cause my Community Manager made it and did a fantastic job so haters can hate all they want, this is why there is a block button. Anyways that is the post, thought I'd share this little tidbit of news and already using the new graphics as we speak but I will speak to you all tomorrow for another food review.
