Today I never thought I would reach this far but today Chris B On The Web turns 4 years old and I cannot believe it's 4 now. Time has gone so fast, 4 years ago yesterday was officially the last day The Video Projects Team ever existed as a team. That is not what this post is about today today marks 4 years since being on my own with very, very minimal help, yes I am referring to my other 2 stooges, Justin & Larry.. lol... But I really appreciated their help, Larry with the camera work, Justin whom did a lot of the behind the scenes work of The Entertainment Man Talk Show with the set which I used a heck of a lot more space down here then I do to this actual day where I am using a very small space for my studio for both of my Podcasts. It is so amazing! Just to see the change and revolution of the studio space I got down here and see how things have progressed over the years. I remember the set picture that was never used for Season 7 of The Entertainment Man Talk Show which we never saw a 7th season as it was short lived due to Staff walking out on me out of nowhere.
Bringing to the current day where I am into the Podcasting scene now and it is just so incredible how things have changed over the years and excited for the future as 2019 will be interesting indeed. I just got news too which I will tell you guys in time as well. It has been an adventure and a half and plenty of stuff coming in the near future, I have planned especially with a certain channel of mine on Twitch, hint, hint double hint I could stream some of the podcasts again. I will discuss my ideas soon on a future blog down the road maybe by the weekend or so but need to do some testing. Finally here is to many more years as today we celebrate CBOTW's 4 years on the world wide web and I am looking forward to many more years running and operating Chris B On The Web. It isn't over and nobody is going to stop me from being successful as I have gained a lot of ground in the last 8 months or so with podcasts and additions to the site, changes are not done yet and I will be explaining in due time what other changes and trust me I am not going to wait till New Year like I was going to. Once again Happy Birthday Chris B On The Web, here is to many more years together!

The answer to the title of this blog is yes! I have thought about it long and hard and have been offered advertising but the plans never went through. Was a communication was not there. However, that's not the point, the point is I am opened to advertising as I want to grow and advertise other products on the podcasts or my site and with chrisbontheweb.com returning very soon it is time to take part 2 of the plan into affect and I haven't been talking about this but it is very much in the future plans and your opportunity to promote comes at the end of today's blog post. You will see what I mean as you keep on reading today's post. After the first advertising deal did not go through, it made me think, you know I want to try and get advertising on either side of my content but we will wait and see and opportunities will come around again. I wasn't pleased with the lack of communication or reply's but would of been nice to know if they wanted to not do the advertising after all. Kind of felt I wasted my time but it is what it is. But I am ready to give advertising on my site of podcasts another shot. I think I waited long enough and come 2019 that is in the plans of the New Year along with the .com website returning I got tons of surprises up my sleeve right now. I also am working on this week the re-do of the introductions of the podcasts so I am ready to take on this new endeavor.
How can you advertise on either on my website or the podcasts? Well in time you guys will tell but if you would like to get a head start you can email me chrisbontheweb@yahoo.com if you would like to send an email and would like to have advertising on either of the 3 (website, either or both podcasts) please feel free to contact me at anytime. I am still getting things together but will manage to get it done in a fashionable timely manner and I know how to do it in case but I may wait it out until officially I get the .com back online again by the end of the year. So I have time to work it out but if I start getting more and more requests for advertising then I will have to work fast but right now I am getting the word out to you guys I am open to advertising or sponsorships and if anyone is interested they can contact me directly through email. But the answer to today's blog post is yes I have thought about and I have been reached out by a company but it did not go through and that's OK though, there will be other opportunities that will come to me!

Yes the question to today's post, I was feeling really down and the depression was setting in pretty quick when I had a heck of a lot of time on my hands when I didn't have to plan out YouTube videos. At the point of me ending everything for YouTube, it was a weight off my shoulder but in the long run I felt like The Entertainment Man Talk Show was a complete failure like Durham Entertainment Today ended because it ended the same way The Entertainment Man Talk Show did. It was like dejavu all over again and today I started to think about me leaving YouTube and the series ending out of nowhere and how my channel went downhill very quickly. I haven't been this low in about a year and a half now and not sure why I am having Chris B On The Web Blues again. I thought I would be over leaving YouTube but sometimes when I am on my own, not around friends whatsoever I think I let my mind wander off in my own studio which does not help the situation at all. I have been struggling honestly to rebuild Chris B On The Web and the last 2 years hasn't been an easy re-build but things are slowly settling into place. As you know I have added on The CBOTW Show as a second podcast and I am right on track with all the podcasts at the moment so that shouldn't be dragging me down but the real test is about to come in the New Year when I will be jammed packed in podcasts for "Everything About Reality TV" will be interesting test on top of The CBOTW Show's Music City CMT & Last Man Standing, I will be one busy bee.
Also I think the fact that I am dealing with some personal issues which I rather not disclose what is really going on but I am dealing with a lot right now and it is quite difficult. As right now I am an emotional mess as I went off on several people tonight and I am not happy about it but I think I did what I didn't normally do is talk things out or listen but recently I just been flying off the handle and people pushing my buttons doesn't help which will bring in tomorrow's blog post which I have been dreading to write tomorrow but will be done and I know I have touched on friendships but that is probably one of the reasons why my motivation with Chris B On The Web is lower then usual right now which I will touch on that a lot more tomorrow then tonight as right now as I am sitting here trying to word things properly and my mind is just wondering again and it is quite difficult for me to function but nothing like a good nights sleep to get rested up for another long day. That is tonight's blog post and I apologize for it being so late but I had a busy day with appointments and running errands to get ready for Saturday's trip out of town for several hours and I will be hinting on Instagram where I am with my friend Dave.

As most of you know I have been watching Big Brother Canada from Season 1 to 6 before the next season comes out in the spring, so I am preparing ahead of the next season. What show will I be watching next after I am finished well right now I am working on both Big Brother Canada and Power Rangers and I am not far off from finishing Power Rangers Turbo to start typing up notes for for the podcast but after both of those what is the plan next for me? Well I plan on watching and binge watching Last Man Standing up to the point of working on Power Rangers In Space as well but Last Man Standing is on the list and I covered it on The Last Man Standing Recap Podcasts on The CBOTW Show that I need to get more familiarized with the show as at times when I do record, I still struggle with who is who on the show so that is why I am making it a priority to get familar with the show and when it is done between the holidays and New Year I will have more time to watch em back to back to back and get to know the characters on the show much better then I do now. Maybe just maybe I will get more into the show as I find myself struggling with The Last Man Standing Recap Podcasts right now this is why I want to make the move to get familiarized with the show and I actually starting to understand the timeline of events during the show and when Boyd came in especially and which of Mike's 3 girls had Boyd which i never knew who it Kristen that had him so it answers my questions in my head and the most recent episode of Season 7 which is what I am recapping currently.
I may in the New Year in January or February I will be watching Power Rangers In Space before recording in April the final Power Rangers in the Zordon era which then there will be a hiatus between recordings as I want to focus on the other recaps I am doing but I will talk more about it in a new post another day some point of this week as a new week has started. I am enjoying the show's earlier seasons and have time as I have watched a couple of the episodes already but put it on hold as I am working on Big Brother Canada and finishing that up first before working on that and also Power Rangers Turbo which time is starting to tick away. After Last Man Standing? Who knows! I may watch every Apprentice Eh vlogs on YouTube for all I know but who really knows I haven't gotten that far yet as I just started Last Man Standing and finishing up other shows. Yes I realize I got 3 of them on the go at once right now.. ha ha.

I can say, the last 2 years hasn't been easy with trying to rebuild Chris B On The Web. The switch over from YouTube to podcasting and blogging it wasn't easy and today things are much better then it has been. I admit the first year and a half has been tough and not easy with scheduling being off from here and there. But now it is completely different as in the last week or so I have been on schedule for once especially with the Last Man Standing catching up with the those podcasts but I managed to get it done in a quickly and timely matter. I use to not utilize a timetable, a schedule or calendar and each and every week I am getting better at posting up a podcast on schedule but still room for improvement but I am starting to get there. However with the Power Rangers Podcast I am right on schedule to when it is time to record em which mind you there is an announcement next week with the schedule for the Power Rangers Podcasts from here on out to the end of the Zordon era. Anyways kind of getting off topic I'm proud of myself to how far I've come with the podcasts, blogs which mind you I am getting near my 500th blog post already and I just haven't said much about it but definitely getting close to it.
Now compare to before, I actually got time to myself in the day. I mean I actually have days where I am not working on anything to a point I got the day to myself. Sometimes I will play video games or I will watch my TV Shows that I need to catch up so I have been making time for myself now and I get out more in the public for bus rides or spend time with friends like Larry or Justin or Dave. I will talk about friendships next week at some point. I do get time off between podcasts, blogs but I sometimes have nothing else to do. Now when it came to the Autism Celebration that is when I am on a busy schedule or events in general. Events I have tweaked the events I go to each and every year and I seem to really like the schedule I am on at this point. I really enjoying going to the events locally and in Toronto, I love the fact I get to wear my tag to represent this site I have built so well since the 000webhost catastrophe in the last 4 years and yes I realize the 4 year birthday is coming up and I will talk about it when it hits next Wednesday. In closing to this blog post that is all over the place so to speak I am really enjoying life now. I got more time on my hands as YouTube took too a lot of my time up with planning out videos but it was fun while it lasted and I prefer Podcasting and blogging over YouTube plus on top of the YouTube adpocolypse, family friendly content this was the right move. It's like us the content creators do not get the freedom to create like we did before all of this happened.

It has been no secret I wanted to return to Twitch but someone got into my account deactivating it on me. I have requested to have em back on but Twitch isn't reactivating it whatsoever. So at this point I have to say thanks but no thanks to me returning at this point of time. I really wanted to return as I had tons of plans from the top of my head, especially with Big Brother Canada coming up in a few months I was hoping to do a live discussion on the live feeds if they do a competition live on the feeds. There I said it. How though in the world am I suppose to do this idea? Nothing! I have enough patience with them but at this point my patience has worn very much thin. There is so much patience I can have honestly with them and at this point I think I just want to move on and keep my focus on the podcasts both The CBOTW Show & Everything About Reality TV. I am a very patient person but for me to wait this long that is when my patience will be indeed tested and trust me it's being tested at this point.
At this point my main focus is the podcasts and nothing will change. If they do reactivate I just do not know what I want to do with the account... Maybe get it banned as it has really ticked me off to wait this long as it is taking forever for it to be brought back online? So I think it is for the best for me and Chris B On The Web to move on from video broadcasting and keep on the focus on the Audio ONLY Podcasts. Look at em now they have become a very big success and keeps on growing everyday as I keep looking at both feeds. Not sure what I want to do with the accounts if they came back online.... Not bother logging in again? Not sure, as that decision has not been made yet and honestly there is time to make that decision if they bring it back. I think I made the right choice in the first place when I retired from casting I do not know what I was ever thinking when I made the choice to actually return. Only reason now I had an account was because of one of my friends who streams from time to time on there but now I can't even do that. Him and I have to decide what to do next if he moves to YouTube fully now that Twitch won't reactivate but time will tell what he will do for streaming wise down the road.

As you all know back on last Saturday, I went to The 96th Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto. You all do know that everything at the Royal went fine, there was no problem with that which brings me up to towards the end where I just lost it and got mad out of nowhere. I let my head wander on our way back to the Horse Palace and that is when I realized I did indeed forgot to tap out on my Presto Card. What is a presto? I put money on it that I can tap on and off my local transit but also Go Transit, TTC and other transit systems that use the Presto system here in Ontario or the Greater Toronto Area. At first I was livid, pissed off. Not at my dad, I was more pissed off at myself and I ended up putting myself down, calling myself stupid that I indeed forgot to tap off. We all make these mistakes but my main concern was the fact I was going to lose money on my card due to this very stupid and idiotic mistake I made. Yes it really sucks but it is just another life lesson I have made and I need to learn to remember and I know at these events it can be hard to remember everything. There is so much that processes in my head during these and so much to see and do there so I can see where my head was wondering off on me. Also the fact I was so excited to be there and see what the fair gave us this year.
There is a second side of this, Presto has changed things around where it cuts it off at a certain point when you forget to tap off let's say from where I live all the way into Exhibition Place in Toronto, they will cut off the amount at Toronto Union Station which is great. They never use to have this before and before it was really dumb the way they had it and one of my former staff from back in the YouTube era that helped me made the same mistake as I did but he had to get the amount put back onto the card but I didn't. I re tapped and tried to tap twice but it wouldn't let me so it automatically tapped off for me when I made the mistake. I like the new system they got now, it is so much better and I didn't have to call up Presto to fix my screw up. It would of taken me a day or two for it to get back on and I would of had to re fill my presto card at the ticket booth. If Exhibition ticket office wasn't opened we would of had to take the streetcar to Union to re fill it which meant extra time in Toronto itself but least that wasn't the case as my dad looked it up on our way home on the train. Was a eventful day and even with this slight mistake that was made I am going to learn from it and not make this mistake again in the near future.
