My Plans For Fixing Up My Studio?

                 My plans to fix up the studio, well, lets say I let things get way out of control with the holes in the wall here. That is the first step is fixing up all the walls down here so it doesn't look like swiss cheese... I know small joke but I want to improve things here in my studio especially and fix things up eventually. Once that is done, I am planning to get another desk as this one is not built very well and would like one that's more sturdy and durable. I plan on looking at the sales at Leon's to see what I can find in the way of getting a desk for right here in the studio. 


                   Now as most of you know with my current setup is to rotate the desk against the west wall of the room instead of the way it is right now currently. I want a change of pace and I don't like this small cluttered space right now, I want more of an open concept kind of space  and I have a good amount of wall I can use, I mean space I can use for a studio and I wanna utilize it a bit more then I had before. I also have plan to have a cork board to put up pictures from my niece and nephew. I also would like to put up posters as well up on my wall unit as I want to give it that full look and what not. 


                    Yes I am excited for the studio to be fixed up and look like an actual studio again as right now I am sick and tired of looking at the holes here in the studio but I have learned from this and look forward to the future of this studio and the amazing recordings I am going to do in the nearby future as well!

The Day I Lost My Bus Pass (Throwback Thursday Story)

               This was a few years ago, I believe just at the start of the renovations or just before the Mall renovations happened but I believe I was coming off the bus from Whitby from an appointment so I could of left my bus pass on the bus there. So what did I have to do? I went to the bank machine took $20 bucks out and had to break the money in order to get my butt back home to figure out what I can do next. I felt like an idiot to lose my actual bus pass as now I could not get around at all but my mom came to my rescue like always when I do something stupid like losing my bus pass which costed me around 42 - 45 dollars a month but I was lucky the lady gave me one for nothing as she was lenient  which was a good thing and I managed to get my bus pass ordeal all figured out.


                  Now how did I feel? I felt like an idiot, I felt stupid that I lost my bus pass and unable to get home like I wanted to.... I was in completely in panic that I lost it, I didn't really have a clue what to do to be honest... It was not a good feeling whatsoever. I did text my mom and I already contacted the Transit system and they advised me what to do after I gave them the bus route number and also the bus number itself. But to get this new one I was a much happier person once the problem was resolved.


                    Did I learn to be more careful? I make sure and I always double and triple check for the bus pass to make sure it is in that same spot I put it in. I also even check my seat over to make sure nothing is being left behind so I am being very cautious when it comes to leaving anything on the bus now and making sure I do not make this same stupid mistake twice. I truly have learned to not make this happen again in the future as well too.

Would I Ever Broadcast Again?

                Would I broadcast ever again at anytime of my life? No. Not just because of the fact I am banned from every platform out there but there is tons of reasons why I don't want to broadcast anytime soon and it is nothing against the platforms but here are some of the reasons:

1) I am banned from majority of the broadcasting platforms for stupid things I have done or I have a vendetta against the owner(s) of the platform. 

2) I feel like social broadcasting has started to die down but that is only my opinion but it hasn't been the same since Stickam.com, BlogTV.com days and I don't think will ever change anytime soon. I know BlogTV.ca is suppose to happen but once again, something happened between me and the owners of the new BlogTV.ca and I feel like if I return, I do not want to cause anymore problems as it is. 

3) The trolls, it got way out of control on a few occasions and I knew it was that time I need to leave broadcasting and just do Audio ONLY Podcasts and these wonderful blog posts I do for you guys on a regular basis. 

4) I've been casting since 2009 and just felt like I had enough of it. I felt like it wasn't fun to do anymore and like I said above, it is not the same since BlogTV & Stickam days as both platforms closed down not far apart from each other, a month to be exact.


                  So the answer to the question is No, I will not be planning on returning to broadcasting anytime soon as I am happy where I am at, this current time of day and very proud of the accomplishments I have made as well on this blogger/podcast journey and I wanna continue this uphill journey.

What Would I Do Different If I Was Still On YouTube?

              The question for today's blog is would I do something different if I were on YouTube still? Well yes and no. There is a few things I could of changed and here are what I could change if I remained on YouTube:


1) More then likely put The Entertainment Man Talk Show Off Air as the views went down at the end and the ideas went dead as I felt like they were stale so I think I could of ended the series. 

2) I would of done Everything About Reality TV on YouTube full time and probably keep on Vlogging on the main channel yes, I would do a separate channel for the podcast alone.  Or I could of kept on doing Vlogging and do the Podcast on Audio ONLY as it is to this very time of day.

3) Vlogs, I may of decided to downgrade it to Monday through Friday, not 7 days a week like I had it originally. With vlogging on Sundays if something good was happening.

4) Probably turn it into a Family Friendly content channel as I would of had to obey the new TOS and also the Advertiser friendly guidelines as it changed very, very quickly after I left the platform entirely as we know mass chaos endured! 


                      So yes I would change things as I left not in the best terms with the platform and no notice to you guys my fans but I gain a lot of respect and trust back after festering up on leaving YouTube and not letting you guys I was planning to leave the platform or what was going on. That I could of changed as well. I should let you know of the change and I think I am actually getting better at it too right now.

Why I Don't To Do Podcasts On YouTube

             There are many reasons why I do not want to do the podcasts on YouTube. I'm not putting down the platform, I just have reasons why I do not want to do the podcasts on YouTube anymore. 


1) I felt like my time on YouTube it is time to leave YouTube as a whole and just primarily focus on the Podcast Audio ONLY for right now. I have been on the platform since Jan 31st, 2008 technically.

2) I just feel like if I returned with Everything About Reality TV in particular, it wouldn't be too popular like before. I struggled to get views when I did the podcast and I feel bringing it back to the platform, I would be struggling from the start again and building an audience.

3) I also feel like Podcasts do not feel like they belong, however there is tons of podcasts on YouTube so you can't say there isn't podcasts on the platform.

4) The adpocolypse and the family friendly content, it will be hard to earn revenue and also if you curse you could end up being age restricted in a video or removed all together, so that make me a little weary of things right now. 

5) It takes time to find and build up your subscribers and just do not think I have what it takes to re build from the ground up again, think this will be a tough challenge and road but maybe with persuasion by YOU guys the most amazing fans, then maybe I'd consider it then. 

6) I'm not sure if I can keep a schedule and how I would post up the Audio ONLY versions of the podcast or when it would go up after the live broadcast.


                 There are my reasons and it is unknown where I want to take the podcast next and not sure if I would wanna do it live again, I would like to but not sure how I would format it, like schedule to go live, when the Audio ONLY Post is up, those questions I'd have to figure out for myself and I know if you do persuade me into doing em live, I'd figure out the scheduling. Not everything probably wont be live, some live, some that are pre-recorded before it going up.

Was On A Good Roll With Losing The Weight Again....

          I realized that I gained a bunch of the weight back with eating at the Mandarin Restaurant yesterday, yes I WENT out for Chinese food with the family which mind you it was nice to go out for dinner with family, I am all about being with family when I get the right chance and it wasn't like I gained a full pound because I didn't it was like 0.4 pounds I gained from this meal which isn't much, so it is not a big, big deal. I think this is just water retention from the food but it was delicious regardless. I am not stressing it, just going to start working on it again today and today I decided to do a fruit smoothie for breakfast starting tomorrow as this morning I wasn't too hungry at all. It was originally part of the diet before and I wanted to get back into making them again. As you know I have spoken on here about doing smoothies and the kinds I have made in the past. 


               However, I will correct this and plan on getting back down where I was before it gets way out of control and I am back up to 239 pounds which was my start weight on this diet. I cannot be this careless, especially now that I have gone pretty far on this diet to now quit on myself? No I am not quitting this diet and I will get down in my weight and continue on this journey as my goal is to get to 175 - 180 pounds. It is a long journey from now but I know I can do it. My first goal is to get myself to 200 pounds first to start with. I will make an exception for birthdays and special occasions still but other then that I am going to follow it. 


                 One last thing I am making sure to keep my calories and fats lower then usual. As for the calories, I am keeping it below 1800 calories and wanna make sure of that as that is a major asset to losing the weight too. I had help from my family obviously when it came to what the calorie count I wanna aim at each and everyday I continue to grind on this weight loss. Would be nice to be at my goal at the end of the year but I rather lose the weight slowly then super fast as it is not healthy to lose weight too fast!
