I have been holding back this for quite some time now but I want to do this blog post Vlogging Vs Blogging which is better. This is only my opinion and what I think is better. Now as you know I have been through both now, vlogging on YouTube for 700 plus days and blogging since the days of The Video Projects Team when I was still mainly a part of my old team which is now in the past.
So vlogging is where you blog your daily life or what is on your mind. Now like I said above, I vlogged for over 700 days which was fun, however it became a chore to vlog my life everyday, edit the vlog and post it up, it was just too much for me after 700 days of vlogging, I ended up stopping the daily vlogs and moving to a couple of times a week. It was really fun tho when it came to the actual days we were shooting The Entertainment Man Talk Show or another series I had going. Also I had to be careful what I vlogged, especially when it came around the copyright end of things with the music especially if I was in the mall or somewhere where music was blasting so that was quite tough as well.
Now blogging, I can talk whatever I want, again my philosophy is I try to keep it clean, keep it real, not bad mouth people or put people down, but yes I will say what is on my mind but keeping it clean and not putting people down. Also I can talk about a topic whatever that is going on in my life or something that is trending out there, events I go to. Plus I like to write and I am quite good at it too, getting better and get quite the views for em compare to vlogs, so bit of a difference there.
Which one do I prefer? I prefer blogging as again I like to write and I can say what is on my mind without limited to time as I tried to keep it to a limited time for vlogs each and everyday but here people can read it within a couple of minutes. I enjoy the aspect of I can actually take photos and post em up on here as well and I really enjoy photography as it is relaxing. I also find it easy to explain better in a blog then a vlog, so that has it's perks, so blogging is much, much better.

ChrisBOnTheWeb.com Update
It has been a crazy last 3 weeks since ChrisBOnTheWeb.com and I found out there was problems in the back end of things with the server the website is on having a few issues, also the website builder had some malfunctioning going on, then the website going to sleep when it usually is down for the hour every night at 3 am EST, which I had to deal with that in the afternoon, which made have some doubts, if I should re-open the site but I promised you guys I wouldn't lay down and die on this website. I work everyday to ensure it is running smoothly and come November, change will be coming for ChrisBOnTheWeb.com as we transition to a new provider and one provider only not a domain with the domain provider and then the web builder, I got one lined up and excited to be moving over in late 2018, early 2019.
I admit, my stress levels haven't been great lately but you have to admit, you have to give me credit when credit is due, I am a fighter and I have fought to the end to get the website back up and running and being a success again, like it was when it was running smoothly for months on end there since September of last year. and I hope it will be like this by come March, the site will be on a steady pace to success because the amount of site visitors tells me people love my website and people are always popping onto the website. 4 days from the time this post goes up tonight, 4 days and counting till the website goes back up online once again and I am ready to have this website be the talk of social media once again.
Honestly I wish this didn't have to take 3.5 long weeks to get back up but "great things come, to those who wait" or "patience is a virtue" and you guys have been nothing but showing your love and support with these last stressful last 3.5 weeks of hell for me and this wait will be well worth it. Not only I re-coded the entire website but I tweaked 2 pages and two of the graphics. The first thing I changed was removing CBOTW Blog from the Blogs tab and CBOTW Blog now stands alone compare to what it was at the start of 2018. Also the contact page, due to "spam" and "threats" I have now provided you guys with the contact email which I do have the power to block emails if people wanna abuse the email system again. Finally as I stated on "Social Media", I have changed the top picture of me to the picture for 2018 but also changed the image on the About page to the current image as well so this way everything is now up to date. Again you have to give me credit, when credit is due and I have come a long way since the start of running this website under the domain and learning how servers work and I think I am doing an amazing job and I am sure you guys are proud of me! 😄

Star Wars: The Last Jedi (With Spoilers)
First of all, I know I covered this, however I went without spoilers of the movie and it's been a month since the movie came out and I think I am in the clear to make more observations on the movie at this point of time with it being a month and I am pretty sure everyone has seen the new Star Wars Movies.
Now, I wasn't expecting a lot of things, like I said in my first impressions post like I thought Leia was going to die when Kylo Ren shot those missiles from his Tie Fighter which mind you Darth Vader has the same similar fighter like Kylo had in the recent movie and that was a comparison I noticed between the original 3 movies to the ones after Episode 6. The next thing that I thought was the entire Luke Skywalker thing, when he fought Kylo Ren, I thought he actually appeared at that planet so I didn't know it was a hologram of Luke from another planet. Now the part of him disappearing to the point where there was nothing but his robes left as you know that was what happened to Obi Wan Kenobi back in Episode # 4 A New Hope. I didn't think he made himself this mentally exhausted to a point of him dying. I was like ok, what the heck just happened in the movie.
Another thing was I saw the AT AT's the walkers that we saw in Episode # 5 The Empire Strikes Back which is the first time we have seen since the 5th Episode in the Star Wars Trilogy. There was a lot of what the heck moments during the movie, it is hard to remember every moment. There are theories she could of been family from another character as she isn't related ton Emperor Palatine at all. Also another question I have is how are they going to write off Leia's character as we all know Carrie Fisher passed away a year ago back in December and I heard rumors they will use older footage from the past, but not sure how that will be used which would be hard. They cant really use footage from her back in Episodes 4 - 6 unless CGI is used and CGI stands for Computer-generated imagery which actually used for the younger version of Leia and also Grand Moth Tarkin in Star Wars: Rogue One, so anything is possible and can happen in Episode 9 in 2019.
Have a great Afternoon!

Why Do I Want To Go Back To School?
There are a lot of reasons, why I wanna go back to school and I am going to talk about it in today's blog post, now that I got time to start writing blog posts earlier with the completion of the website re-building process.
The first reason I would like to give you all for the reason I want to return back to school is I wanna learn, I want to expand my education, I want to learn something that can help me get a job out there in the working world, even if I work from home in the long run. Now what am I planning to take? Well, I am planning on taking web design, as you all know I have been running a website since 2008/2009 and learned the HTML, Javascript and IFrame on my own via the internet and also YouTube as well.
The next reason I wanna give you is finding work here in Ontario and/or Canada is not overly great, it is a tough world out there to find work, I am lucky I had that 4 week job trial but unfortunately quitting after 4 weeks or the contract came to an end. I have made going back to school my number priority to eventually go back to school if finding a job doesn't work out for me. What steps do I have to take to get to this step? well, I have to possibly go back to high school class for college English in order to apply to the program I want to take at a college but that's OK with me though. It takes baby steps and I know I can get through these small bumps and then move into the world of being a college student once again for the 2 year web design program. It would be our local college I went to for the CICE Program as it would probably fit me better, however I could do online studies from another college from Toronto but not sure if it will best suit me if I did online studies.
I may have had not many reasons for going back to school but the one reason is to try and start earning a living, moving out on my own, being on my own, hopefully get a girlfriend one day. But the most important thing is I want to better my skills at building a website and learning new elements to building a website.

Weight Loss Update (01-22-2018)
Not much to report on with the weight loss, I am between 221 and 223 pounds, which mind you it is better then 239 pounds like I was before, but it is hard to surpass this number but I am trying my hardest and one goal I made is to have one fat day where I can eat whatever I want that is usually on Sundays as sometimes Larry pops over from time to time, depending on his schedule.
I haven't really changed what is in my diet is with the amount of calories I intake everyday, trying to stay at 1800 as much as possible over the last little while but minus the one day a week I have for a fatty day but other then that I make sure I follow it to a tee and make sure I do not cheat on my diet whatsoever. My thoughts is, the faster I can get to my weight goal which is 170 pounds, the faster I do not have to worry about following my diet anymore. Trust me losing this weight has helped my right knee out quite drastically and I am not in as much pain as I use to be and sometimes I go weeks without problems which is a good thing honestly! Now I honestly try and avoid having bread as much as possible, but I do not cut it completely, I have my 2 piece of bread once a week, then usually down to the one piece, especially when or if it is toast I am having. One other thing I try and do is not eat after dinner unless its my lightly salted sunflower seeds or a fruit like a banana that I just finished up while typing today's blog post.
One thing I could be better at is being out and being active and going for more walks and getting the exercise I need but I am always out and about almost everyday lately as things gotta get done, whether I need to run to Staples or go to an appointment or two depending on the day or what is on tap for the day. Yes I try to avoid eating out but if worse comes to worse, I at least grab half a sub from Subway but that is very rare of the time it happens. Sub isn't too bad anyways, as long its like a ham or turkey sub but other then that, that would be what I usually have but I am not a big Turkey fan so it would be a ham with mustard lettuce and cheese on it, sometimes red onions but again that is in the rare circumstances if I forget to eat and I am really starving. But other then that, the diet is doing well, slow but slow is better then losing the weight fast as it is not very healthy thing to do. Please note I am going to do these weight loss updates at the start of the month instead of weekly as things can fluctuate each and every week.

Need For Speed Shift First Impressions
So for those who didn't know I also got Need For Speed Shift in the Need For Speed Video games that have come out. I decided to give this one a shot as I had some extra money on my steam wallet and I love the racing games and once again I played Need For Speed World so I am familiar with the franchise and it is sort of similar to Grand Theft Auto but you cant get in or out of the car. This version of Need For Speed is more focused on the racing aspect, it is just like Nascar Racing. It has different levels and you have to earn your way to the top of the racing circuit which is really cool actually!
At the start, it is a learning curve with the game with the gas pedals with both the remote and also the keyboard but once you get the controls figured out then you get really good at the game. Also love the different cars you to drive in the races. Their are different cars for different races in the game which is fine, it is neat to try different cars and the feel of each and every car that you drive in the game. So yes, it is different feel in each car. Each car has how fast it goes and each and every car is different. The tracks are different from race to race which is nice to have different speeds. The difficult part I found was going around the corners but I realize now I need to lay off the speed around the corner or make a sharper turn as I go around the corner but lowering how fast I go around the corner helps if I am in the lead. I try to go full speed and take a sharper speed but yes it does take strategy sometimes and if you don't succeed the first time, you learn by each track. Again every track is different.
Now, would I recommend this game to anyone who likes racing games? Heck yes! If you liked Nascar racing, you guys will enjoy this game indefinitely! I would give this game 10 out of 10 as it is exciting, fun and hours of fun as their is tons of races to do in this game. It is different from other versions of Need For Speed but I highly recommend this game to you guys if you enjoy racing type of games.

My Thoughts On YouTube Partner Program (YPP)
I found this out last night that YouTube has changed how content creators can get their videos monetize on YouTube. Now creators have to have up to 1000 subscribers on their channel, but also have to have 4000 hours of watch time compare to the older requirement where you had to have up to 10000 views. Also if you are NOT eligible, your monetization will be disabled until you have reached that requirements. Now the blog also said there is a 30 day grace period if content creator's ARE below 1000 subscribers & 4000 hours of watch time, they have 30 days to reach it or their monetization will be disabled until they reach it.
My thoughts on this? Well I do not wanna come up as bias about this but it is much tougher for content creators to earn which is not good whatsoever, it is much tougher for them and much tougher for them to earn revenue for their long hours working on their content. I do understand this is to prevent inappropriate videos from being monetized as we have in the past week or two with the recent inappropriate content that went viral in the platform. So I do not understand why they could keep the 10,000 views requirement and have a better system to know if their is a inappropriate video that was posted on the YouTube platform instead of changing the way you can earn revenue. That really has nothing to do with just monetization but the users posting up inappropriate, they need to honestly do better at watching what is posted up. Yes this could help videos not earn revenue but it's not only that, ANY inappropriate content should still be removed anyways and of course it should have a strike added to it or if it is extremely inappropriate it should be more severe of the punishment. If content creators do not earn money, I'm sure they would look at another platform or so something else like stream and earn revenue via Twitch.
Advice for content creators wanting to earn revenue? Keep on creating! Keep your eye on the prize, keep on creating no matter how low your watch hours are or how low the subscriber count is at! I know why do you guys wanna hear this from a YouTube wanna-be from someone who quit the platform 2 years ago? Well I was there at one point, took me years to get the views the subscribers and I know I had between 36 - 38 subscribers but they were the most loyal subscribers I had to the end. What I am trying to say, you will get subscribers who will be loyal to your channel and watch your videos regularly so you will get people who love your content and support you on a regular basis. Keep on creating, you will get to that requirements and you will earn ad revenue on the website. Yes they may have had the adpocolypse at one point but keep on working hard and if YouTube isn't for you and you rather stream video games as you're a gamer, then go to Twitch that is the other option you have.

First Oshawa Generals Game In Years!
So 4 days ago since I am way behind on the blog posts lately but hey better late then never I guess. This was the first Oshawa Generals Ontario Hockey League game in quite sometime now and I believe the last game I went to was with either my friends or my family, it is hard to remember this far back right now.
This was a crucial game for the Gens as they had to win in order to move up on the Kingston Frontenac's Hockey team who is ahead of the General's currently so any win against Kingston right now will help them move ahead of Doug Gilmour's Frontenac's Hockey team. Now my friend mentioned to me that the Gens lost the night before, yet they had no business to win as it seemed they didn't care to win.
However they played hard, their heart was in the game on Sunday, even though it took them 3 periods to score it was back and forth and the goalies stood on their heads the first two periods, however 3rd period, a mistake by the Kingston goalie out of his net behind the first goal is scored with a wide open goal. Then of course they scored their second goal and then the empty net goal and of course the Gennies won their game 3 - 0, very exciting game and enjoyed every moment at the game.
I had a great evening with my friends, even though Terry, hyper as ever can be and of course him picking on me like usual, but Angie and I got him good. Ha-ha! It is never a dull moment with him. Honestly going out with them, really got my mind off of last week's drama at the mall and it got my depression down quite a lot compare to the recent past several days, I truly had a good time and looking forward to another game soon.

Toronto Maple Leafs Alumni Vs Montreal Canadiens Alumni Game
On Saturday, my dad and I got to go to the Toronto Maple Leafs Alumni vs the Montreal Canadiens Alumni game with my dad. First of all the game was delayed because the Montreal Alumni were stuck in traffic and of course I openly made some pretty crazy jokes, oh they chickened out against the Leafs Alumni, they are afraid to lose to em but it doesn't matter if they win or lose its all for a great cause, Alzheimer's Society.
So what also bothered me in the game the fact the Montreal Alumni goalie was a young guy which this suppose to be an alumni game for a great cause, the Alzheimer's Society and should be NHL Alumni from both Toronto and Montreal teams. So that did not please me whatsoever. What kind of surprised me they put in this young guy while Sevigny was on the bench for periods 2 & 3, maybe he couldn't handle 3 periods but again this backup goalie is younger then these alumni and technically he wasn't in the NHL, just a guest goalie. Yet again it was unfair to the Maples Leafs Alumni, due to the fact they had only CUJO (Curtis Joseph) who was the only goalie on the Alumni Roster for the Leafs that were actually going to play.
Now enough of me complaining about the Montreal team, the players I remember well enough is Curtis Joseph, Nik Antropov from the Leafs and for Montreal, Patrice Brisbrois, Stephane Richer as I grew up watching these players in the 90's and into the 2000's as well as well and I know some of the older players as well but not as well but my dad has given me the history of well known players and I always love to learn about the old players who they played with, goals scored, what year they played and so on.
What did I think about the game all together? I love it! I absolutely loved it! I actually was at the edge of my seat during the the entire game, it was very exciting it was back and forth in scoring but yet it was a low scoring and staying very close in scoring, it was exciting. The final score it shocked the heck out of me, it ended in a 4 - 4 tie, so nobody lost, it was very much a very even game and was a great Alumni game! I hope to do this again in the nearby future!

I Need To Be Organized and Focused With Chris B On The Web
I realize now, I need to be more organized with Chris B On The Web with the most important to get done to the least important. It comes along the line what is the most important on the list and of course I know podcasts and these blog posts are up there in the most important at all times as I need to keep you guys up to speed with content, so definitely it is on the list, however I have to put into consideration my website, the heart and soul behind Chris B On The Web that hosts a multitude of website only content such as interviews with my former staff, interviews with my fellow CICE Students from Durham College and plenty more ChrisBOnTheWeb.com website ONLY content coming this year as well. So to juggle all 3 of those it's not easy but I gotta stay organized,stay focused on the tasks at hand. Yes there is other work that needs to be done besides the website but these are the 3 most important.
I know the last few days, you can tell on social media, I haven't been myself and for the first time in about a week I missed a blog post which is very much rare for me as I always have something to say on the blog here but I actually missed a day and usually I miss at least one blog post a week normally, as it is normally due to work load or just busy with my regular everyday life but I admit I haven't been very organized lately but I sure as heck am trying to stay organized as much as possible but at times it can be quite difficult of a task but if I wanna get things done, I do need to get things done and faster then it has been.
So yes I do need to be more organized to getting things done and I am planning on using both my sticky note pad here on my computer but not just that, use my calender on a regular basis to help me stay organized and stay on track with everything going on with Chris B On The Web & ChrisBOnTheWeb.com
