My Bucket List!

                 Today I want to write about my bucket list, what I would like to do, go to, to accomplish in my life. Trust me there is a lot on my list, I will even include the ones that have been accomplished on this list today as well. This year I set out this year to accomplished and I think I did a bang up good job with this list as well. But anyways enough of me rambling here is my list with both already accomplished and things on my list I want to accomplish as well. 

Things I Have Accomplished:

- Go to a Big Brother Canada Premiere- Got To Do that this year!

- Run a Successful Podcast/Podcasts. Got both Everything About Reality TV & The CBOTW Show has not only picked up in late 2017, but people have emailed about the podcast a few times. Also, was the start of the second podcast thanks to CMT Television Network for coming to me about Covering Music City each and every year! This year has been the year of the podcasts for me. 

- The Website has doubled in views it was always just below 1000, like 700 or 800 views a month, then getting about 1000 to 1100 views a month and now its beyond 2000 views a month, so the website has been very active recently. 

- Rebuild Chris B On The Web from the ground up with very little help, with the team being disbanded entirely, I went into a very long and lengthy rebuild and hoping my June 26th, 2018 I will take Chris B On The Web off the re-build and everything is back up and running once again.

Things I Want To Accomplish: 

- Big Brother Canada Live Eviction (April!) Been to the premiere, now I want to see an eviction and what goes down at the Live Eviction!

- Advertising on my podcast. Almost had advertising but going to be working hard to get advertising on them eventually! Another thing on my bucket list.

- Go Back To School for Web design and evolve CBOTW into the main hub for my web designing! I am working on planning on this big goal.

- Move Out On My own. I wanna live in my own apartment and be on my own and show my independence.

- I never really talk about this much but I want to settle down and have a girlfriend, maybe eventually start my own family in the future. 

- Go back to Grand Bend Ontario for Fireworks. I am planning to do that this year with my dad! Cannot wait to go back for the Fireworks for Canada Day!

- Vancouver & Vancouver Island: I wanna see the West Coast  in western Canada. It is a long shot to it ever happening but hey it is on my list.

- Boston and Maine, USA. I wanna see Boston, Fenway Park, the state of Maine as well. It is in the future plans to go down that way on a holiday, my family and I have talked about it.


                  There is my bucket list and I know it is very lengthy post, sorry about that! But I still got a lot on my bucket list what I would like to do, being on my own, etc but I cannot do everything at once but never say never and in the future, I will update the post in a new post once something is updated.

Schedule Changes for This Week & Next Week

            As of right now, I am right on the right track, but still a tad behind but the podcast I am behind but as of tomorrow morning, I am going on a mass recording session in the morning. Anyways, this week is going to be different due to me being either out of town or extremely busy and I am trying but seems I am out of town quite a lot this week so the schedule is what you can go by for this week: 

This Week (Friday, March 30th & Saturday, March 31st, 2018):

Friday: 8 pm EST- #TheCBOTWShow #MusicCityCMT EP # 6 Recap
10 pm EST- #EverythingAboutRealityTV #SurvivorGhostIsland EP # 6 Recap 


Saturday: 4 pm EST- Everything About Reality TV #BBCAN6 Week # 4 RECAP


              Please do not next week but the week after, I will be away on Thursday, April 12th, 2018 out of town for the majority of the day and I will be doing another post about this as of a week Monday and to what the timetable will look like during that week. I feel bad for re-scheduling but it is hard to be in two places at once, so it is not easy to do both things at once but change is fine once and a while and the scheduling should be fine after the week after. I am looking at a similar schedule but may tweak the schedule by a hour or 2 for that week, depending on how what I am up to and if I am around the studio. In the last several days, I have hardly been in the studio to do things but after Easter things will be slowing down for next week at least but then the following week, things will pick up again once again with more temporary schedule changes. Again I will let you guys know when the next set of temporary inconvenience of change will come and I am going to give you guys days notice before and will mention it on the podcasts as they come out.

Tweaked My Daily Schedule! Here Is An Idea What I Got Planned!

                So as you know I am really behind schedule with the podcasts and still catching up with the missing Everything About Reality TV that is today and I actually wrote this blog at 1230 am this morning as I stayed up late to get things ready for recording the podcast so I will include the schedule for today including the tweaked schedule for today as well! 

Today (Monday, March 26th, 2018):10:30 pm EST: Everything About Reality TV- BBCAN6 Week # 3 RECAP (from last week) 

Wednesday Morning (AM)- Record The CBOTW Show Podcast


New Schedule Weekly:

Monday: Morning (AM) Monthly- Weight Loss Update

Tuesday Morning (AM)- Record The CBOTW Show Podcast

Thursday: Morning (AM)- Everything About Reality TV- Survivor Ghost Island RECAP Recording
                                11 am EST: Throwback Thursday Story- Blog Post                       
                                  8 pm EST: Everything About Reality TV- Survivor Ghost Island RECAP 

Friday: Morning (AM)- Everything About Reality TV- Big Brother Canada 6 Week 5 RECAP Recording
                                   8 pm EST: Everything About Reality TV- Big Brother Canada 6 Week 5 RECAP

                         There is the schedule for me during the week, I know it looks utterly confusing but it the strategy I am going by week by week. Now I know this week will be out of kilter, due to me being out of town, away from the studio, with Easter many days from now, 5 days to be exact now, I sometimes cannot keep the schedule but trying to the best of my ability to stay on schedule as much as possible. Hope you understand this week will be chaotic but next week, everything will be back to normal hopefully by the start of next week, schedule wise but there is a possibility on schedule change coming for next week too but this blog post is my weekly schedule for now and once I know I have to change one of the days for the podcasts, I will let you know right away.

Change.... How Do You Change Yourself As A Person?

                 Change, it is such a hard thing sometimes to deal with. I for one have had to deal with changing things in my life and today I will talk about it in today's blog post and how I have overcome and made these changes in my life not just online wise, but also in my personal life as well, I have worked hard to change my life around. 


                   How did I change my life, for one I stopped being friends with the people who always put me down or got mad at me for no apparent reason, no names mentioned from the start of this month but I wanna surround myself with people with people are positive and have a positive affect in my life, if that makes any sense to you guys. Since the Drama on March 2nd with my former friend of almost 15 years, I am starting to question who my true friends are. I mean I am starting to realize who my true friends are these days and I am happy with the people who are my loyal friends and always there for me and there if I need to talk when I am feeling down, they are truly there for me. 


                     Also I felt like I wanted to change the way I eat, to lose weight and in the last year and a bit you have seen me lose the weight and I am still planning to lose more weight just it will take some time but I am already underway with that process and honestly, I feel great as of right now. Last I checked I am at 220 pounds and staying right there at that number right now but that's for the first Monday of the month to update you and what I plan on doing to continue to lose the weight and a little more better pace. But I mean my self esteem as been a lot better recently, I am feeling happier with losing the weight. I have been smiling a lot more. I think what I am trying to say is I am feeling better about myself with the weight loss. 


                    Finally, friendships being tested and confusion who I can and cannot trust in the past year has been one of the biggest issues I have and I think I finally grasped who I can and cannot trust that has been figured out at this point and I am happy with the group of friends I have right now and nothing can change it. Sometimes you gotta change choose friends who constantly get you upset or mad, sometimes you gotta ask are they really worth the stress? Like I always say friends come and go, but new friends will come along the way! They know who they and I mentioned it above for your information everyone but no names to be mentioned but now I have a clear idea who my real true friends are and I am totally grateful for them in my life! They are truly my friends for life both Facebook and Twitter! 💓

I'm Learning, I'm Trying New Things Out!

               This year has been a great year, not just because I have become a successful podcaster but the fact I have tried new things lately and I am proud to say, it feels great to have tried new things. Yes I realize the blog posts haven't been consistent but I am truly trying to bring out the blogging content to you guys as much as I can. 


                I have learned so much about scheduling, keeping to a timetable with regards to the podcast side of things recently. I have either been a day behind or right on schedule. I know there will be a day where there will be 3 podcasts in a day due to the fact I will be out of town either Apr 5th or Apr 12th, 2018 out in the city of Toronto with my former Staff Dave. But other then that, I am very much on schedule with the podcasts. Now website wise, I have learned so much, when I tinker with the website the favorite icon at the top of the website disappears, goes to 000webhost logo or blank. So what I have learned is I have to remove the physical file from the site, re-uploading the icon once again and yes the icon is 100x100, then it works once again. I am not sure if it is a web builder issue or if it has to do with the size of the icon that is beyond me but I figured out a quick fix. Also this week I have been testing out the chat feature but obviously it has been removed as it wasn't getting many hits but thats OK with me, however, I learned through fixing glitches and bugs on the website like turning off the sound for the chat messages, figuring out the size within the code in the back end as well. 


                   Finally for today's blog I have finally learned to try new things out and as you guys know The CBOTW Show Podcast has popped out of nowhere recently as I made the announcement that it has joined the list of Podcasts on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com and I thought, you know its been nearly 2 years now since starting Everything About Reality TV, so I thought, I got the offer to RECAP Music City from CMT, why not. At first I said no thanks as I had enough on my plate but as of now, I am grateful to be doing it. I shouldn't be afraid to open up and try new things. I just said on Twitter, I am open to advertising on either my website or any of the 2 podcasts, I am running right now. I shouldn't be afraid to try new things and if it doesn't work out then thats fine, but if it does thats great. I am glad I am now open to trying new and innovative things!

Additional Podcast Added & Update Schedule!

            As you guys know, I recapped Music City on CMT last week and the response was astounding and I wasn't expecting the new podcast to take off this fast and as you guys know I have already put it onto ITunes since it had quite the response from Podcasts.com & here on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com have been nothing but a positive feedback given to me. With that being said, I have tweaked the podcast schedule for The CBOTW Show as Music City is now has a permanent series spot on  that podcast. Now Everything About Reality TV will remain with it's schedule but below is the entire Podcast schedule between now and sometime in May when Finale's air on TV:


Thursdays: 8 pm EST: Everything About Reality TV: Survivor Ghost Island RECAP Podcast

Fridays: 6 pm EST: The CBOTW Show: Music City on CMT RECAP Podcast
               8 pm EST: Everything About Reality TV: Big Brother Canada 6 RECAP

            
                 That is the schedule for all podcasts that are currently running on Chris B On The Web & ChrisBOnTheWeb.com and I really am enjoying both of the podcasts that I am currently doing each and every week on the website and all the Audio ONLY Platforms. I am glad CMT approached me about Recapping Music City and it will be a surprise and a half for those who missed this little announcement will be shocked to see that I posted up another episode and this will be a permanent part of this podcast. I wasn't expecting on posting up many RECAPS like 1 at least but I am glad to be be recapping Music City and having a ton of fun with the recaps. I am more open to the new ideas and the reason why I took this idea quite quickly even though, I needed time to think about it but hey I did it and very proud of what it has become now, a successful two podcasts.

I Messed Up on The Everything Feed On My Website! (Explanation!)

                So last night, I was putting up the Big Brother Canada 6 Recap to notice on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com that the Survivor Ghost Island wasn't up on the website. Now I thought I actually added the podcast to the website but apparently I didn't, so I ended up just uploading to the Podcasts.com, TuneIn.com, ITunes and Player FM, so I apologize about that. I noticed it initially when I went to put up the Big Brother Canada 6 Week 2 RECAP and I scrolled down the page to notice the 2nd podcast from the top was the week 1 RECAP so that really made me think, I better fix the issue so that is what I did. I should check the day of when it comes out onto all the platforms to ensure you guys get the content across the board. 


                That is why the podcast was delayed last night till very, very late, 10:35 pm EST to be exact, was because I was still editing and fixing the mistake that I made back on Thursday night and it took a while with the current content that is on that page right now during this season so that is another reason it took a while and the delay posting up the podcast late last night so ensure you guys the problem got fixed and things were right again on the website.


                At this time I can only but apologize profusely for the mistake and hope you understand now why it took this long late last night. Usually I am on time and on the right track with things but last I was on the wrong side of the tracks so to speak but I am sure things are fine now and I don't think you guys noticed anything, as I was hoping you guys would of said something to me about it when you went to the Everything About Reality TV Feed Thursday. However please do let me know in the nearby future if something is off or I forgot to add something, or I made a mistake, I will be sure to make the necessary change to the website.
