Chris B On The Web Events For 2017 - 2018
I am going to make it clear in this blog post that there are certain events I am attending for Chris B On The Web and ones that I am not. I have been hounding this in my head over the last few weeks and thinking of what events most definitely benefits Chris B On The Web and which ones have not been beneficial to "CBOTW" Also I will be mentioning the reason behind why I do not or I am going back to the event this year and to the list that I am uneasy to wanting to attend the event that is listed below. So without further ado, here is my list:
Events I Am Not Going To This Year:
Taste of The Danforth (Greek Festival): Not going to be going after last years debauchery of being shoved around and being told off by a lady, uhh, I will pass this year and probably will never go back if this is the way people are going to treat me. Nothing to do with the event organizers its just the other visitors giving me crap for no apparent reason when I wasn't doing anything but walking with my dad.
Possibly Event's I Am Going To:
Polish/Ukrainian Festival (Roncesvalles & Bloor Street, Toronto): Depending how the weather is over the course of the month of September and in the past years it has rained on the weekend for the festival and my dad and I been unable to attend due to the fact of the weather for the last several years have put going to this festival in doubt year after year, so It is on the maybe list and it is scheduled on chrisbontheweb.com just it will depend on the weather and I hope this non stop rain stops soon or it will be a no go once again.
Autism Celebration: I had a few mixed emotions with going to Autism Celebration last year, one being the booth sign I had said I was an YouTuber and Blogger and it was completely a disaster as I had a lot of questions about YouTube and people hassling me to go back, I am totally unsure on my decision to return this year, unless Kerry's Place talks me into coming back or my friends talk me back into it.
Events I Am Going To:
Apple Festival: I had fun and was a fun blog to blog about each and every year that I have covered over the times I attended it.
The Royal Winter Fair: I love going to the Fair each and every year, it is a privilege back in 2015 to be vlogging for my old YouTube channel that one year and I was under cover last year with my camera for the blog and hopefully I will be more open to taking more pictures this year if I can get the Media Pass.
Oshawa Santa Claus Parade: Always have a good time at the parade and haven't missed a Santa Claus Parade in many years.
Tyrone Parade of Lights: Since probably my college years or even before that I attended the Farm Parade of Lights and rarely missed one minus 1 or 2 years in a row but could of been due to rain or weather.
So there you go, that is my list and things could be change and I will let you guys know one way or the other if I decide to move a Possible events to the going to the event and will let you guys know right away. Have a great night.

Sore Back From Working Hard On The Patio Outside!
So you have probably noticed I haven't been as active on social media as I have been in the past weeks. Well I have been working hard on the patio with my dad and getting closer and close to finishing the project out on the side of the house by the deck. It is looking really good so far and getting stones in and the other day on Monday we managed to get 2 rows put in to have 3 rows completed. It looks really good and looks like an actual looks like a backyard patio so far but we are right now far from done.I am working on the project again since I dropped out of the Wednesday group as I was not being challenged enough, I got enough experience as a individual so this opens a bit more time and my dad cannot work hours on end on the stones as it is a heavy as heck! We are talking about 110 pounds a stone and you can times that by 52 stones, which equals 5720 pounds in total which is quite heavy as you can probably figure out.
With working really hard, my back has had it's share of soreness in the mornings but as I wake up and move around I feel great and I believe it is from the hard work I have put in each and everyday of the week but again it makes my body strong and the muscles I never used before are stronger then ever and my upper arm strength is extremely big and bulky and that is what I wanted to do is build up my upper core of my body as I hope to audition for Amazing Race with Justin Milner who use to be a part of my team from The Video Projects Team days and the first 2 and a half years with Chris B On The Web as well. Was also hoping to audition for Big Brother hence the weight loss and building my muscle strength for being on Reality TV.
One thing I am totally looking forward to finishing this project is sitting out there and reading my book or the news paper or just enjoying the nice weather out there on the patio, this project was worth all the hours and hard work that has been put in with my dad and my brother that had help us a bit with advice or bringing the stones out to the area where the patio is going to be. I am looking forward to the end of this project but enjoying the use of the patio once it it completed.

Taking Time Off, Resting Your Mind
I really needed that break from Everything About Reality TV, my mind was all over the place since Big Brother Canada 5, Survivor: Game Changers and Amazing Race 29 Finale's, but don't get me wrong I love doing the recaps, I have a lot of fun doing but taking tons of notes for the shows, plus watching feeds for Big Brother Canada and late night or in my case a lot of all niter's or being up till 3 or 4 am and sleeping afterwards did take a lot out of me and this why I needed the 2 and a half weeks to DE-compress from the busy podcast season and it has helped. Took time to play video games, blog on a regular basis or every second day and spend time with the family.
You can see where I am going with this post, when you work really hard on content like YouTube series or my podcast or a project you are doing in your home, you do deserve a break from all the work and to relax from all the stress of your daily grind in the working world. What I do on my spare time, I find myself putting on a video game that I wanna beat or a TV show for example I am watching Degrassi The Next Generation right now and it is nice to just sit back and watch the show and not worry about anymore work for the rest of the day. I do that quite a lot and recently with my work load has once again piling up on my desk with the Archive Project on chrisbontheweb.com However you do need to take breaks or you will end up like I did many times in the past with my YouTube career and also now Podcast career in mental breakdowns like I have had over the last year of trying to make my website work.
It don't have to be video games, you can read your book, do puzzles, watch TV or a movie, whatever the heck that relaxes you from the stress that you get on a daily basis. I have my techniques and I am sure you guys have yours as well. Some days if you are just plain out stress, just not worry about it and do it on a day that you are not stressed out and able to focus on the task at hand. For me personally, doing a podcast on a day I am complete tensed and stressed out I mess up royally and tonight was one of those nights I made a few screw ups but laughed through my screw ups and moved on through so even laughing through helps but sometimes a break is what you need. I know I needed that break after Survivor Game Changers, Amazing Race 29 & Big Brother Canada 5.
Have a Great Night!

Fiesta Week 2017!
Crazy week this week hence the blogs both on chrisbontheweb.com & Soapbox have not been going up as I have been out and about in the community this week at events and interacting with the rest of the community, even on my way back from an appointment I interacted with another member of the community which is awesome and the word out about Everything About Reality TV gets outs faster then you think. Don't get me wrong but I love doing both blogs and the podcast, just i gotta get out of my studio here sooner or later. So with that I went to Fiesta Week which is a celebration of many different countries and get a chance to try many different foods from all around the world! Trust me posted tons on Twitter and Google Plus over the last few days with pictures of what I have been up to and just posted up another picture on Social media not long ago. There is a parade on the Sunday before the week and the opening of pavilions during the days at certain hours begins.
The first Pavilion I went to was on Wednesday and it was the Krakow Pavilion, also known as the General Sikorsky Hall here in my city. There was all the different types of Polish food, Cabbage Rolls, Shish kebab, Polish Sausage. Trust me it was a great time and great food. The second best part of the night was the entertainment. I loved hearing a bit of Polka and traditional Polish music was a great way to end the night. I had a blast, great food, followed by great music and entertainment.
Despite my busy schedule today I managed to get out to the Romanian Pavilion and I wasn't sure if I would like the food but WRONG! I absolutely loved it! I know it was meant to be a little drier then I normally have when it comes to meat but I loved the flavor overall and that one spice gave it such an amazing taste and I had fun once again, was an hour but was worth the 1 hour of being out of my studio. Below is some pictures I took at the event, have a great night!

1 Year Since I Left YouTube.com!
1 year ago yesterday, I departed the YouTube platform after 10 and a half years on the platform and there is plenty of reasons why and after an year of hiding the truth, I am going to explain why I left in this blog post.
So 1 year ago was a disastrous end for my Youtube career with majority of my team leavingthe team and not wanting to be involved with the projects started to question my future with my channel and what I could do with it in the near future. At the time I had daily vlogs going on and also the new series or podcast "Everything About Reality TV" which obviously you know it moved to Audio ONLY and may I say is very, very successful to this current day. So it was indeed a dilemma and a half to what I could do with the future of the channel. Yes I could of continued with Everything About Reality TV and done both Audio abd also video but I didnt. I should of done a video saying I am indeed leaving and to continue to support me on Social, both Twitter & Google Plus but I chose the quiet route and left quietly. I however regret backing up the Pili interview and Seasons 5 & 6 of The Entertainment Man Talk Show and made a DVD of all the episodes.
Now you may say that my channel was dying, no the views were doing well, just had no reason to continue on with YouTube but you can say that I left at the right time as YouTube started to go to pieces with the a adpocalypse, advertisers pulling out, new terms of service coming out, videos have to be ad friendly, no cursing in videos or you get demonitorized so I left the platform at the right time. I was also a small fraction of the followers on Twitter abou 5 - 6 were subscribed to the channel but its better then 0. I had a few haters hating on me but I didnt really care.
But now I have tons of other podcasters & other bloggers following me and the followership has grown greatly since I switched to blogging & podcasting. The website, blogs & podcasts has grown, I couldnt be any happier to where I'm at to this current day.

Working Hard To Be Successful
I have not really spoke about my new fond success at my Podcasts and Blogs that I written on either Soapbox or chrisbontheweb.com but to be successful on anything whether it is YouTube, Twitch or streaming in general or in my case blog posts or podcasts, but you gotta work hard, to get views it takes time to grow your audience and I found a difference between Podcasts and YouTube but that's for another blog post on another day but anyways it takes a while to grow your audience, YOUR fan base, trust me I have had a lot of support from the get go, when it was still on the YouTube platform and even now on the Audio ONLY Platforms for the podcast, I have gotten nothing but non stop support since the day I moved to Audio and a lot of other podcasters following me to show support to me doing the podcast throughout the reality TV seasons (Going onto my 3rd Season this summer!).
Now the best way to promote your content, whether it is Facebook, Twitter or Google Plus it is the best way to promote your content. Soon as you edit your content whether you are a YouTuber, podcaster or blogger, you should promote your content right off the bat, not wait, post it to all the social media that you have. You can also add onto the posts with hashtags and now what is a hashtag if you have no clue what it is, well it is just a simple "#" sign from your keyboard which if you use shift 3 button, it will give you the "#" sign. Hashtag is a great way to get yourself out there and you never know trending on social media and I have had Everything About Reality TV trending once in the past which was incredible and it was a very rewarding feeling to have to be sort of trending on Twitter. Numbers is not always important, it's about building your audience and having quality content out there which does help quite a lot, as I have realized that as I just completed my first podcast and I fixed the quality and the levels of my voice so it doesn't sound distorted. To be successful is to make the right connections out there, if you know what I mean. I connected with other podcasters, other cast members from Amazing Race and look where that has brought me to a very successful podcast and it has grown tremendously over the last 10 months almost. Do not feel down, do not give up, keep on trying and I ensure you will succeed at what you do.
Have a great night!
