Today's blog post is about my time in College and the memories I have made at Durham College and the fun and great memories that I made during the 2 year program in the Community Integration Throughout Cooperative Education.
1) Becoming a part of my college's first visual radio station out there on the internet. I loved doing "Easy Rock With Chris" because I loved the music I played, music that was easy to listen to like Katy Perry, Coldplay, U2, etc.
2) Doing a few interviews with students in my program and even a tour of my locker. Had to do some video content for YouTube during the hiatus of my former web series, The Entertainment Man Talk Show.
3) Going To a University of Ontario Institution of Technology Hockey game aka the UOIT Ridgebacks game with a bunch of my classmate in the CICE Program. It was a fun but also exciting game to go as I have never seen the University level of Hockey.
4) Got the chance to work out a bit at the CRCW on Campus and get back into shape while on campus and plus it gave me something to do between the long 2 or 3 hours between classes and my radio show on Riot Radio.
5) Doing my placements in two retail stores and also at the Oshawa Little Theater, which I loved working at the Theater and volunteered after briefly till December of 2012.
6) Larry and I becoming T1 & T2 (Trouble 1 & Trouble 2) talking snow on Liz whom is now the Liaison
There's my list of my top 6 memories of College and hope you guys enjoyed me writing this list on my favorite moments at college, I know I probably missed a pile of them but these are some of my favorite moments at college, but I truly enjoyed every moment being at Durham College and you never know I could make a return to learn something new to potentially start a career in my life!

The Binding of Isaac: REBIRTH First Impressions!
So Sunday, December 31st, 2017, I got 100 dollars on my steam wallet and bought tons of games, Bomber Squad, Need For Speed Pursuit, The Binding of Isaac Re-Birth, Player Grounds Unknown also know as PUBG to most of the gaming community and The Walking Dead. Now today I am primarily focusing on The Binding of Isaac: Re-Birth and what my first impressions are of the game as I played it for the very first time ever.
First I had a problem trying to shoot out the gumball shots as I call it, and on the vanilla Isaac, I can use the mouse, but however on the second one, you have to pretty much use the arrows to shoot, but as I got use to it, I found it more accurate to the targets and made me think, hey I think I am going to use the method as I finish up vanilla Isaac and Platinum God the game before moving onto Re-Birth. Hope this new find on this game will help me complete the game at a quicker but more accurate pace from here on out.
The next point I would like to make is there are new characters in this game, I am introduced to such as Dingle which can be a tricky little bugger at times but learning how to deal with him. Also Gurdy Jr. has changed quite a lot from the first Binding of Isaac. Also there is our personal favorites like Monstro, Monstro II, The Duke of Flies, Larry Jr and so forth.
The third and final point I would like to make on this blog is the graphics are totally different darker, but as you move there's a light around you but also there is twinkles around and bigger rooms are now available as well which makes it a bit more challenging but you also get more enemies to kill on the game as well. The game also introduces a black heart which I got no clue what it does still but in time I will learn what it's for and what it does. In one day, I got to Mom in one day which is a new record which means, my Isaac skills are strong to quite strong and getting stronger day by day. In conclusion I'd definitely give this game a 10/10 as I fell in love with the game right off the bat soon as I got right into the game.

My Favorite Moment's In High School?
This was requested by my high school friend, Darius. Today's blog post I am going to talk about favorite memories at my High School, my most memorable moment's at High School.
1) Going over the mountain of mats in Mr Plishka's class. I got no clue, even to this day, why my own gym teacher would make us do this activity, maybe to split us up, even though half the time the team I was on, I felt like it was stacked hence we KEPT on winning every time, I know I shouldn't complain it was fun to win.
2) Going back to Grade 10 gym class bench pressing 150 lbs, maybe 155 lbs and Mr. Plishka pushing me to my limits which I didn't mind him pushing me to the max. Trust me I was quite strong after that. Maybe it's time I start lifting weight and buffing myself up again like I was in high school.
3) Wrestling a former football player, aka my grade 10 teacher... Trust me I thought I was going to take my gym teacher down, but uh I was down pretty damn fast and trust me my teacher, he is one tough cookie to take on.
4) Playing against the teachers in a teachers vs. students game in Grade 10, once again I believe where I signed up to play against the teachers and they asked me to compete against them. The game was close but us the students kick the teacher's butts! 😛
5) Performing on stage with the hot stage lights. Well I wanted to know what performing on stage with hot stage lights is like and trust me its hard and it's hot! I wore, or had to wear a hoodie for the performance and it was so hot alone under the lights, it was hard to focus on the performance but I managed it no problem.
6) Writing a play for the drama club: I wrote a play for the drama club and it was accepted into the competition but the cast dropped out after a few rehearsals and boy fireworks went off, I went off at one of the cast members as I was extremely upset when I saw the notice on the door the play was cancelled.
7) Co-op placement: Second placement after I was fired from the library as they just didnt like me and they were pretty miserable and didn't wanna answer a question but I got to work along with the custodians and got to see parts of the school I never seen before like the boiler room when I had to clean brushes for the classes which chalk boards, I'm sure to this day is pretty much obsolete but got to see the boiler room. Also learning to getting the damp mop ready, cleaning tables, etc. Also I was asked back after my co-op was finished in my final week or so of classes which means they loved having me help them! Also the year I had my surgery, 2003, grade 11 if I am correct, I got to do a take a student to work and since my dad was retired and wasn't allowed to do take a student to work, the custodians took me back on for the entire day from 6 am till 3 pm an entire 8 HOUR Shift!
8) Final thing on my list is the Special Olympics Track and Field from half way through high school or 2 thirds of the way through my high school career and I remember doing a trial run so they know which group to put me in and riding back in my teachers truck, before Plishka got his hummer but I have another story for another day about it!
Hope you enjoyed this list and I love doing these list blogs for you guys from to time. Have a great day!

I Am Feeling Ready To Date Again!
So recently, I actually felt like, I am ready to get back into the dating game once again, thinking about when the last time I dated and it's been about a 5 years since my real seriously relationship not including my ex cheating on me and it's been a long anticipated wait and yes I have been looking for a girlfriend and tried on a dating site to see if I get any girls interested and nothing yet, but will be trying hopefully. That is a goal for me in 2018 and I can be honest, I am ready to settle down and trust me I've had girls waving at me, shouting at me, it's good girls are interested in me and I am not surprised whatsoever.
I should of not taken that break from dating for this long but again, my one ex in 2015 OR 2016 cheated on me so I guess that was a move I wanted to make by taking a small well bigger break from dating. Of course I blew one chance I had with a girl. So at this point I would like to finally settle down, find a girlfriend and never know this could lead into getting married but let's not getting that .far yet. I need to take it slow as I do or would like to start my own family one day but I am still fairly young still and I can in time make this happen in the near future.
I do have great qualities as a guy, looks, not so much but I mean I can and am quite Mr romantic and give flowers or chocolate, or go for a romantic dinner which I have done it before, Casey's and of course I remember my 1 year anniversary I was at East Side Mario's for a dinner and nothing says anniversary like a romantic Italian dinner. However to date online again, that is a big no, no, as I am not planning nor planning on ever doing online dating as it was a disaster after breaking up with my ex's so I am being smart this time around. I didn't mention any names, I just put ex's in as I am talking about my relationship in the past in general, not anything specifically. I am ready this year to get back into dating even if it takes a few months, I will do whatever it takes to be in a relationship once again.

Happy New Year!
First of all I gotta say Happy New Year! 2018 is finally here, which means the plans I mentioned at the end of the year are now in full swing for 2018 and I cannot wait to each and every plan for this year! It will be a busy and hectic year ahead for Chris B On The Web and let the collaborations and interviews commence! 3 collabs for this year alone and 1 interview with a friend from Special Olympics will be popping by early summer for an interview and possibly a random collaboration podcast with me. Also like I said 2 collabs with Larry, 2 off season podcasts, one in June and one in December. Also Everything About Reality TV's 100th episode which has been anticipating for months on end as I prepare for the big day which is soon to come very, very soon!
Next I am also looking forward to the studio changes as well with the studio pending renovations and repairs as we are getting it fixed up and things will most definitely be different from the way it looks currently with this small and crammed space I have right now as it is hard for guests to come in and out of the space which is why I wanna actually move things around, also build myself a desk instead of buying one from Staples or Walmart, no offense to them whatsoever but I wanna make my own custom desk to my liking and this way it has enough space for guests in the studio as well. I will be bringing down my tall lamp from my room to give it more lighting in the space which will help so all of these plans are very exciting and hence I am excited for 2018 now as it is now here!
My New Years resolution is to be more patient with people and not lose my cool with them as last year tempers went all farce but piss me off that is a different reason but I will try to be more patient and not lose my cool but it is different then people pissing me off which I am a different person. I am generally nice, as long you are nice, show me respect, I will do the same. This year I am planning on a drama free year from certain people and I am very much done with broadcasting on video platforms but I do watch 2 shows in the morning times on IVlog, whom I have watched her since the BlogTV days, one on YouTube/Periscope as well from the UK but other then that I do my own thing beyond these blogs and the podcast itself as well. I know who my true friends are and going to stick by them in the thick and thin of things. I have been looking forward to 2018 for weeks now and it is finally here to make my dreams and hopes come true! Finally hope you all are having a very Happy and Joyful New Year and I am looking forward to what 2018 brings for me and also Chris B On The Web & Also ChrisBOnTheWeb.com as well.

2017, A Year In Review!
So here is my own year in review and what I thought of this year alone. I thought honestly, this year was an interesting year. Full of drama, friendships gone, people turning on me but I can say this year has been a productive year for me as I have been very much active with Chris B On The Web and I admit, this year is a year of change and I am quite happy with what went on this year.
This year saw a whole pile of changes that went on from the CBOTW Staff being dissolved entirely was the best move I have made as I became a happier person and trust me I have gotten so much work done in the entire year including the anticipation of the upcoming road to the 100th episode of Everything About Reality TV which is close but will obviously not happen this year but I pushed the envelope to hopefully get to it or at least get close to the 100th episode. Well 9 episodes to go, I am going into 2018 with the intention of recording the 100th episode of Everything About Reality TV and I am excited for it. Also I started making plans to start collaborating with friends and fans of Chris B On The Web and I executed the plan in 2018 to start collaborating and now you guys know and I know what the plan is as I blogged about it recently and it will be an exciting upcoming year! This year, I wanted to focus on podcasts and blog posts and the events I go to each and every year! Speaking of events, I decided not to return to the Greek Festival due to it being so busy, being pushed around and people telling me off when they were in my way. Also this is the first time in 2 years I decided to not to go to the Autism Celebration and part of the reason, as I ran out of money and there was so hassle in 2016. But I do or would like to go back but not entirely 100% sure if I will be back. Just recently I kind of was thinking, I am going to give my spot to someone else, I have been doing this for years on end, but don't get me wrong, I enjoyed going each and every year and if I was to go back, I have a few ideas in my mind if I do plan on going back. Also I made the decision to allow Larry into the blog as an alumni but we haven't seen him blog yet but he will be soon enough. Also I saw the growth of both social media's, Facebook Group & Twitter for Chris B On The Web, almost 3200 followers on Twitter and currently standing on the Facebook group 33 members strong! The CBOTW Army is growing and growing fast!
This year was a very productive and busy year for me and trust me you have not seen nothing yet and no I am not quoting the song lyrics from the song but I am very content what went on this year and I looking forward to 2018 and what is to come for Chris B On The Web. Have a Safe and Happy New Year and be sure to lookout for my New Years Post on New Years Day.
