First Time, I Saw A Rattlesnake (Throwback Thursday Story)

             So this happened many years ago and I believe it was two years in a row where I saw a rattlesnake. To make the story short the first time I saw a snake, it was only a mere baby rattler and the rattle wasn't as loud when it shook the rattle to warn us it was nearby so this way we wouldn't step on it. I don't the baby rattlers had as much venom at that stage then an adult snake but I could be wrong though. That was actually out in the rocks a bit we happened to see the little baby snake but also cool. I believe within the two years in a row we also saw a good size Garner Snake as well which was really cool to see too. 


                Now as for the full grown snake I was the one that heard the rattling and knew there was a snake nearby and I saw it all coined up staring us down even though a snake cannot see while but can sense heat and movement on the ground so it knew we were present and near the snake and obviously we were careful to walk away from the where the snake was and it was slithering away anyways so it would feel safe so to speak.


                 Finally on this shorter blog post it was a fun to actually see a poisonous snake but would never wanna piss it off and end up getting bitten and end up in a hospital to be treated it would probably ruin the holiday or vacation all together. It was once in a life time opportunity and it is truly hard to actually see snakes as you have to be in the right place at the right time to actually see nature at it's best but we were quite lucky to see a snake!

Is This Is The Permanent Site for Chris B On The Web?

          I hate to use the word hate and also to bring bad news to you guys and I had something more on the positive side to talk about but will wait till Friday as tomorrow I have an announcement to make as next week I will not be here 4 out of the 7 days. But today's post is not so happy news. As you know, the last 4 months has not been the easiest last 4 months for me as there has been non stop problems with running a website and I've tried, time and time again to re-build and repair the website and at this point, I am just tired of trying to fix a website which one issue becomes a new problem. 


             The one problem that really ticks me off is the web builder works half the time and when it doesn't work it gives me that false virus message from my anti virus. Hostinger is connected with 000webhost and started thinking twice about renewing for another 2 years  and I think my mind is now made up at this point of time, I will be letting the domain expire and move on and just use this blogger page as my main page with the links on the podcasts pages will do for now and never know, I may explore the option of a website in the nearby future but right now, I have decided, I have had enough of websites at this moment and this is what I need to do what is best for me in the long run.


              Chris B On The Web is not dead, just end of an era with the .com website as the last 4 months has been hell and back and is done at this point. Don't think just because the website is not operation everything goes on hold. No secret I am still looking and trying to resolve any unresolved issues I may have with the website and I will not give up, I will trumiph this blasted website issue. There is no secret, I was going to be a bit more negative but held this off most of the day but glad I did as I have time to think things through before bad mouthing 000webhost and I finally learned I gotta keep my mouth shut sometimes, it does get me in trouble sometimes... LOL...

Did I Enjoy Filming The Entertainment Man Talk Show?

              Did I enjoy filming or taping The Entertainment Man Talk Show???? Well this is quite a tough answer to give as you know, I had my up's and downs with the series, however that is not the right answer to give you guys. Yes I did enjoy filming the show and I know what you guys will say, weren't you mentally exhausted from the series with the planning? Yes of course, however I enjoy the actual filming end of the production, that is the more fun part of taping an episode, but planning and editing that has a stressful aspect of it, not so much. 


               The reason I loved to tape episodes was because of the craziness, the comments made, tons of cursing going on, we were always laughing on set and things that my staff and crew did that I never expected to see or said on the set. I admit season 2 the cursing was completely out of control but the viewership went up with the amount of cursing and with me bleeping it out. The moment Eric or myself cursing, it sure brought up the views on YouTube and the subscribers, it grew. There were moments where we kept on taping, capturing the moments of mistakes made on set. I admit the time I was tripping over and falling that was staged obviously as it was for mere entertainment.


                Being on set was so much fun with my team, expect the unexpected with being on set... Always not expecting what my team would say or do, so that was also fun to expect the unexpected on set. I will never forget any of the fun experiences on set and it truly has taught me what set life is like and the process I go through each and every time we shot an episode of The Entertainment Man Talk Show!

You Need Patience With Podcasting

             I had a moment last week, where I was ready to give up on podcasting, I had no views on my podcast whatsoever and I was ready to just close up shop but come the next day the views came in and I was like whoa. I even checked it out this and I had more and I have to realize, I need to be patient with podcasts as it is indeed summer time and people are going to be outside till almost dusk basking in the sun and enjoying the nice weather, well hot weather here in Ontario technically but you guys know what I mean by that anyways. I need to realize not everyone will see my tweet or message out to everyone that an new episode is up as again, people have lives too. 


                I know I get the good viewership each and every episode that goes up and Amazing Race Canada  Heroes Edition did well yet again. You guys again this season have graced my presence with nothing but positive feedback and listening to polls. I know sometimes I am not a very patient person but I am working harder to be more patient and I shown it not only with podcasting but with the re-build of ChrisBOnTheWeb.com which this is probably the only time you will hear me mention that problematic website. 


                 Anyways the other thing and last things I want to mention in today's blog post is the fact you need to be patient, especially when you are having Audio or Video issues, you need to remain patient, calm and cool and trouble shoot the problem at hand and you will get through the problem or problems. Also with editing the Audio ONLY side of things, you sure as heck need to remain patient with editing, it is a very long process with editing, especially the Big Brother Recaps which tend to run a bit longer then any of the other podcasts I do on Everything About Reality TV so remember, patience is key or patience is a virtue, because it will get you through all the stress.

(Throwback Thursday Story) The Night I Left My Church Book In Church

             I have to start today's blog post with I do not usually talk about my religion on here much as I keep that aspect of my life but I am not afraid to say that I am a proud Catholic and I got to church every week and during the week here and there. Now this was during Holy Week, which for those who aren't catholic, it is the week that is lead up to Easter Sunday. I was at the Holy Thursday mass and I left my church book in church. Clumsy? Forgetful? I think I was just forgetful as I had a lot on my mind with Chris B On The Web and in a very busy season for my podcast and my mind was just wondering that's all, I think I just didn't look at the pew before I left and usually I do, once again I had a lot on my mind. 


                Was I mad with myself, yes, as I had prayer cards in the book itself, but it was a blessing in disguise as I got a newer book with a better cover so you see it all worked out in the end, I had to just be a little patient and I just didn't have a book for the rest of March till the May book came in so I just used the book in church. Another factor was my mind was on my back, as I was dealing with back spasms at the time and I was in a lot of pain at the time. I have learned from my mistakes and I am making sure to look that I have the book or have my book in my pocket or in my hand.


                  The book could be in one of my pockets of my jackets I had one at the time so you never know and I will have to look when winter hits again but I am not worries about it right now, I have a new book and it is in the past but if I find it in my coat pocket, I will feel quite silly if that is the cast but time will tell down the road. That is my small Throwback Thursday and hope you enjoyed this little story I have told you guys.

What Do I Do If I Get Writer's Block?

             Writing can be tough from time to time and tonight's blog post speaks to it's own words as I found it hard to write on this subject tonight but I will try as hard on this subject as best as I can. Know for those who do not know, I love to write and I don't care if I got 5 or 6 views or 200 views, I just enjoy writing for you guys, my thoughts on what is going on in my life, adventures, topics, rants which mind you there hasn't been any recently but writing gets my inner thoughts going, gets out my ideas and thoughts. 


                Now have I had writer's block? of course I have with writing something in general and also in blogging. I can tell you a little story about the time, I was still was an YouTuber back in the good old days of my early years of online media. Anyways I was always writing when I was a YouTuber, as you know there is a ton of planning when it came to YouTube, especially for me who had his own web series that ran for 6 long seasons and you can probably tell by the end of the series, I was wiped out, hence the reason I took the break from content during the summer between the switch from YouTube to Podcasting. Now blogging wise, yes I do tend to have problems coming up with ideas for posts but it is you guys that inspire me to come up with ideas that is one way I seem to come out of the writer's block side of things. Sometimes I will go out for a walk and the fresh air does seem to get those creative juices once again flowing once again and it does help. Also sometimes I write down my ideas and go with the ones that seem to suit whatever I am writing.


                  You can get past through the writer's block as I have in the past and takes a little time and if you cannot think just walk away for a hour and come back to it or take my advice I said above and hopefully this helps you guys in your journey in writing, whether it is writing stories, a book, blog posts or writing a web series, just remember, you can do whatever you put your mind to it. I have sure come a long way on this blog!
