ChrisBOnTheWeb and Being A Brand.... What Does This Mean?

                 You didn't know this and I for one didn't know about this till a friend told me that ChrisBOnTheWeb is a brand because it has my name on it and this brand represents me. So having a team at this point is not the best thing for a team situation moving forward. This is why I have decided to dissolve the team all together and keep certain people on with me. Kind of why I wanted to make this post. For blogs, will be still 5 days a week but that may be changing soon enough as the demand on this website has been up lately and YES I am talking about the analytics for ChrisBOnTheWeb.com. Let's just say they are very high now and it is time to continue to grow this thing.  You probably noticed the Extra Content tab pop up and has yet to be activated yet but will be working on it in the coming weeks. Now for the team, I have set back into place the Management Team which consists of 2 people, Tiala who is an Senior Advisor and Matt who continues to work on the website and he has lived up to his expectations with the recent change with the website menu bar or navigational bar. That is it for the team, small but dedicated team and excited for the new beginnings and people do not like it, then in the words of Boston Rob from Survivor: "That's Too Bad!"  Yeah I quoted him as he's said that on Survivor and Amazing Race.

                 The question you may have what about Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast and yes that is still very much a thing and working on the notes this week to get it done and ready to go so I can send em to Larry and get recording which an announcement is coming soon. Just holding off a bit longer but it is very much still a thing of the present and future of this website. I am not going to be giving up on it anytime soon. That is in full tilt since I have a ton of time on my hands right now and getting ready to start SPD soon so Larry and I can record those too as well. So we are not short of any content and both Larry and I have other plans with the movies for Power Rangers Collab Podcast and also a rankings podcast is in the works too so we are keeping busy with it definitely.  Welcome to the new and improve ChrisBOnTheWeb & ChrisBOnTheWeb.com and I will talk to you guys tomorrow.

I Have Returned Early!

              I know this title of today's blog is a bit strange as we're dealing with a ton of stuff with losing The CBOTW Show and I am over it and I can say this, I am done with Reality TV Recaps for the very nearby future, nor have any interest in recapping Reality TV. Been doing it for 5 years on and off and I think at this point I am ready to move on to other non Reality TV Podcasts. As Matt said, Power Rangers Collaboration isn't going anywhere anytime soon at this point. It is still scheduled to return on top of Entertainment Man Podcast. The reason I came back the last couple of days been a bit hectic with changing and updating the website around. Just hope there is no animosity with the former podcast team for The CBOTW Show but think bringing it back was an honest mistake and I should of kept Entertainment Man Podcast afloat and running. There will be information coming in the next day or two. I think with me returning early it relieves poor Matt that is on verge of burn out as well and I think we all are. 

              This is why I will not be behind the mic much over the next several weeks at this moment minus redoing the Collaboration Podcast intro and re working intros as well. That will not take long but I need time to decompress at this moment. This is why the return of Entertainment Man Podcast is not quite yet but it is coming. However you will see Billy's Podcast pop up every week on Wednesdays at 6 pm EDT, not sure if it will be this week or next week which I have to coordinate and will announce on social media if it being held off for one more week. I haven't spoken to Billy since Saturday early afternoon, nor been active on social media as much and been dealing with some personal stuff at this moment. I'll get through it and I cannot wait to start Season 3 of Entertainment Man Podcast!

ChrisBOnTheWeb Weekly Updates [04-25-2021]

                Another week has gone by and honestly disappointed on some of the things that has happened and most part Chris's Mental Health and Safety is up most importance. As you know The CBOTW Show abruptly has ended production a week and a half from Finale of Big Brother Canada 9. Could of finished off this season at the most. I know a lot of you were upset some more then anything else and I understand that is why Chris hasn't said anything to anyone or the team since Saturday late to me at the most after all of this happened.  He is nowhere to be found and he is really, really upset about this as he has worked so hard on the project the last few months. He told me he made a mistake and should of kept running Entertainment Man Podcast and the series would of continued to run. He had to let go two people and wasn't happy to make this decision. ChrisBOnTheWeb.com has been completely overhauled, the team page re done and apparently Chris's picture went from black and white to color again and that wasn't me that did it, I left it at the bottom till this Saturday. 

             Also the Interviews section removed all together and the Podcasts section was updated with Entertainment Man Podcast, Collaboration Podcasts, Power Rangers Collab Podcast and Sports Hour With Billy are listed here on the website. I do not even know or can tell you guys if Chris will be back to blogging tomorrow or I will end up filling in this week. We will have to wait and see. I just hope he's OK and so much has happened over the weekend and I am disappointed in what has happened and really was hoping to see an amazing end to a great season but Chris has to do what's best for him in the end. Those are the only real updates for this week and I might see you tomorrow on the next post but it depends how he is feeling.

1 Week Tomorrow, I Return As Owner of ChrisBOnTheWeb!

                1 Week tomorrow, I am making my return as Owner of ChrisBOnTheWeb & ChrisBOnTheWeb.com. It has been a long coming to get back to what I was doing as Owner and excited to be returning. It will be almost 2 months I have been away from the day to day operations and been in contact with Matt and the rest of the team while I was away so I was involved with advising if they needed advice on any of the decisions with the website this goes for Chelsea and Charlotte who were with us for weeks to a month or months at the most. I intended to stay in touch and why they are in our private Staff chat groups and what not. Yes this means I will be wearing my white tags again which has been put away in the top drawer but will be pulling it out end of next week and putting it back on Saturday morning as I will be back fully not just Executive Producing and Hosting Podcasts but as your Founder and Owner for nearly the last 7 years!

               I wanna thank, past site admins and our current Site Admin, Matt for watching over the website, I know we have had a bad turn over with Site Admins but they have been what has kept the website and the team running smoothly for nearly the last 2 months while I was away getting better and dealing with my Mental Health. I think it is what I needed was to take time away from the day to day operations and just focus on Executive Producing and Hosting duties for a little bit which I did very, very well. What is going to happen to Matt now that I am returning as Owner? Well he will be strictly on his Site Admin duties moving forward and continue to maintain and improve the website on a day to day basis and he already has with the Team Page now update fully once again earlier this week as it was out of date. Any further questions do not hesitate to contact us on our Facebook Fan Page, Twitter or Instagram. Have a great weekend and I will speak to you all on Tuesday!

Minecraft Updates

                 I know from the original world my nephew and I well the game completely crashed itself as we put way too much in the world. You can say it, we literally broke Minecraft. I think we had way too many blocks given to a player. Anyways fast forward to today, we re created the world and it is 10x better then the original. We have the same main house plus now a horse palace where we house our wonderful horses including Billy Whiteshoes Johnson and Lighting III which Billy is glassed in for good and will never be used for travel as he is a permanent stay in the property and it was hard for me to find him in a world and I do not want anything to happen to him and right next to the Stables building is the infamous Office building which is still incomplete as I ran into a roadblock with it the water elevator accidently blew up and water all over the floor and out of the building (LOL!) Also a creeper also blew up a part of the second floor on top of the 4th floor so I made those repairs to the office and continue to work on the building here and there as there is a ton of floors, we're talking 10 floor building and it is a more complex building then the original one. Now below all the buildings in my area is the garden center and farm with animals. The ceiling is kegged with sea lamps which looks very epic. I have yet to put the sea lamps in the house and the map wall back up as well but work in progress!

              On the one side is my nephew's little but cute house and just behind it is the spawner that is half working but something doesn't seem to be right as every time they drop they die so I need to figure that part out why that is happening. With my nephew's help we build the Obsidian wall that is like very, very high. He put lighter purple obsidian like a castle which is cool with water and lava falls and I can see our raiders as we keep getting raided with these dudes with cross bows which our resident villagers with Golems to protect us but every time we get raided the Villagers freak out and go nuts. Those are the updates and it has been a crazy time with this game and has gotten wild and crazy. I will see you in another post tomorrow.

How Am I Handling My Mental Health?

            Today I wanna focus on how I am dealing with it. Some days are are good where I am fully functioning and other days not so much such as Saturday into Sunday as I got devasting news with a former site admin has passed away on top of the other sad news as well, it's just overwhelming for me and we all mourn differently and one of the reasons why I sometimes am quiet. I'm not bottling it in, just the way I am dealing with all of this really. I know and I hear this from my team every single day that my mental health comes first and I know that but if I take time for myself then I fall behind schedule. I should take time at least an hour or two if I am feeling down and I did on the weekend. An unhappy Chris is a unmotivated person like I have been recently. Sometimes I just do not wanna take my medication for my Autism and that is no excuse to skip it because I am totally not myself.

            I need to stay on the medication or I will not be able to focus and get the job done. I know I have a website to go on or phone numbers to call but I just do not feel like talking to anyone about what's going on but might have to force myself to make the call or send the text out. I need to be focused to get things out at a timely fashion. Yes work is a priority and I enjoy Executive Producing and Hosting Podcasts but I have to remember I as a person comes first. It is not easy to stay positive and in the last year, been working hard to becoming a more positive person and be happier. Last week, Thursday afternoon I was happy because I was getting vaccinated and that put a smile so I am starting to smile but it's one thing and one day at a time. Anyways that is what I have to say and I promise to work on getting better and thank you from th bottom of my heart to those who have checked in on me. I will see you all in my next post tomorrow.

How Am I Post First Dose Vaccination?

                   Now that I am almost 2 days vaccinated with the Moderna Vaccine for this virus going around still, I have felt a few things.... First was the really sore arm, then feeling tired all together and that is partially my fault I fell asleep an hour and couldn't sleep anymore so I was up the entire night until 430 am EDT when I finally fell asleep up to 11 am this morning. That probably is one of the side effects of this vaccination as I have been warned about this well before getting vaccinated and even on the day of the nurse, she warned me there could be side effects and I thought nah that won't be me. Well I got a little too cocky on that as two of those symptoms hit me and normally I do not get symptoms that especially with the flu shot but this one is different really. However I feel great and soon as I ate something today I got my strength back and I think it had to do with the fact I didn't eat anything and I made a run to the corner store for something and mow the lawn and went to the lake to see freighters the Vectis Pride and Federal Bering ships that are in there so I just didn't care if I was tired and I know it's already catching up to me quite quickly. 

               I know the second dose will be a ton stronger and I am probably going to feel more affects of it but never know we will have to wait and see, I am quite a very strong person when it comes to getting needles and what not, especially getting flu shot which I haven't had since the year after I had the flu. Anyways I hope I do sleep a ton better tonight and more then I did last night and I have a feeling I am going to pass the heck out after supper and that's ok, just hope I stay sleeping right through till 3 or 4 am tomorrow and get back into a more steadier sleep and I believe the wanting to sleep a bunch and always tired has to do with the vaccine. It has hit me a little bit and if that's gonna be the setback for a few days, I will try to work as much as possible with taking breaks inbetween. That is todays post and I am sorry it's late but we had a mishap with post scheduling this morning. We will be back on time on tomorrow.
