What Did I Get and What Did I Do For My Birthday?

            First I will talk about what did I do on my birthday, I got up at a decent time around 830 yesterday morning, got ready for the day and got the 926 am Bus to the mall to meet up with Larry. Met up went to get our lunch at Subway and it was good, mind you. We got back and of course I opened up my gift from Larry which was DVD's, Power Ranger Turbo, Volume 1 and Power Rangers The Movie the most recent of the movies. Also he bought me a drink which I have not yet drank yet as it is still sitting on the floor next to my tower.... smh. I need to crack that bad boy open today or tomorrow at some point. Also I opened my mom and dad's gift which was a fitbit which is great as I am always out and about walking or just out and about in my regular everyday life as it is so it works out great! Also from my brother, sister in law, my niece and nephew I got Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire, some Married With Children seasons. All in all, it was  a great day.


           I was however disappointed a friend let me down but it is what it is and I just moved forward with my day and enjoyed myself with the time I had with Larry and that is what matters to me. The whole day wasn't ruined. I made it the best I can. Next year, now I know who I can rely on to come and who not to rely on. This year was a test. Why the heck do you think I have but things are fine between the two of us and that is what matters and next year we can do some kind of extravaganza of some sort I am sure. I am sure he will be in the studio as a guest in one of my podcasts as he was interested in coming on as Twitch is now up in the air at this point which I will talk about more when I have more information to give to you guys which I don't at this point of time. 


               As for dinner my parents and I had homemade Mac and Cheese and boy it was very, very tasty. Yes we had cupcakes before dinner with my brother, niece and nephew and also I had one with Larry which he took 2 home for his mom and himself so that was nice. I was tired after all of that, I tried to lie down and sleep but no dice whatsoever, I ended up down in my studio for another hour, hour and a half at the most and hope I do sleep tonight as I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow.

Got To Go To A Local Parade!

          I got the chance back on the weekend to go to a parade locally and only reason we went was because my brother was in it with his work and he brought his daughter (My Niece) on the float. Also my nephew was in was in the parade earlier with his Beavers which is part of the Boy Scouts for ages 6 - 7. I was somewhat disappointed in the parade as they had the politicians there but non of them there or present at the time and I understand if their still in Ottawa or Toronto but the Mayor and Councillors could of been there in the parade. Now our mayor, MP (Member of Parliament), MPP (Member of Provincial Parliament) was there and attended our parade right here in my own hometown here as this parade and I am talking about a couple of years ago technically. That was the only disappointed in this parade but the rest I really did enjoy and seeing my niece and nephew in the parade. We were at the end of the parade where the parade ended and we managed to see my nephew at least but I added in the picture on here of my nephew and I and yes hes got part of his uniform on.


              Would I do this again? Of course, we would do this again if any of them are in the parade I will be there to support no matter what. Family means the world to me! They are my number 1 priority from this and I love spending time with the kids each and every week and to have a bonus visit with this is a bonus itself. Like my Twitter says I am a "Proud Uncle" and darn right I am a proud uncle. I probably get to see the kids twice this week, tomorrow for my birthday and Friday if we are to get them this week as normally but we will see how things go. Either way I get to see them regardless this week. I had a good time and it was time outside of the studio to be with my family which I haven't done much of lately due to my very hectic schedule around the studio and going to events but with events now done for the year for me, I got more time for family members even more.

Maybe I Should Listen To What I Said Months Ago... (Frustrated With A Video Platform)

             Two blog posts in 1 day?! Are you guys lucky or special to be getting a second post of the day as something is on my mind. As you all know I had plans to do something huge for Everything About Reality TV Podcast's 10th season. As you know the podcast is coming up on it's 10th season within 2.5 years and boy it's been a ride since the start. The cat is now out of the bag so to speak, both myself, Dave, Larry and CorvetteFan90 have been talking about the podcast going back into video for it's 10th season in such a short time but recently I have had my accounts tampered and deleted numerous times and honestly I am tired of it. I am so frustrated with this platform as I was planning on bringing in my loyal fans to their platform and yet I cannot do that now. I am flabbergasted what the heck is going on with my 2 account for both the podcast the bot that helps me out in the chat to make sure the chat is going with the flow, nobody being rude or spamming the chat.


              I am giving Twitch a week to get this all figured out then I will be done with video broadcasting and broadcasting all together. I am not going to wait around forever for them to get things sorted out with two accounts and I am not playing around as I take my podcasts very seriously and still have fun doing the podcasts at the same time. I wanna grow my podcasts not have em fail whatsoever and honestly when I said I was done with YouTube I meant every single word of it. I had no plans to ever return to the platform at all. Honestly a lot of people left YouTube moved to Twitch that is why I am doing exactly the same but right now I got that minor inconvenience and lets hope it is fixed soon or I am staying on the Audio ONLY platforms which mind you have done extremely well on all the platforms and I see no reason to add video at this point but I want to do this as part of the celebration of it's 10th successful season and that is where I am now making the strive to get things ready, to get a second camera for the studio and also the boom arm which I am holding off due to the stupid Canada Post strike backlog now that the strike is over and I will be talking about that in a different post next week at some point. But yet again, I am giving all of this  a week then I will be making the decision to stay where I am currently. I don't think it will change and I will let you know the outcome from today's blog post.

Favorite Survivor Seasons!

                 I do not think I ever did a post about Survivor talking about my favorite Survivor seasons I have watched on TV and I have a pile on my list of favorite seasons and I cannot list everyone of them but I will try my best to post as many as I can without making this post a text book to read and I promise you guys that too. Also there is no particular order in the episodes hence the reason I didn't list it 1, 2, 3 and so on but anyways here is the list 

• Survivor Pearl Islands- Was one of the second seasons i ever saw and I loved the twist of having the outcasts twist in the game 

• Survivor All-Stars- Only reason this season made the list this was the first season I watched and got right into the TV Show and haven't missed a season since. I have watched every season since!

• Survivor Cook Island- Penner going at it with Jeff Probst when he was wasting the cannonballs in the challenge.

•  Survivor Gabon- The fake idol on Randy and him saying all 3 of you kiss my --- Also the fact Bob was oldest winner on Survivor at the time and still is still the oldest winner to this day.

• Survivor Palau- The first season a tribe is decimated to 1 member and moves to the other tribe, Koror tribe. First time there is no merge either and the first appearance of Exile Island.

• Survivor Heroes Vs. Villians- Loved this, love the returnees in this season for this 20th season of Survivor on it's 10th year. I would love to see a Heroes Vs. Villians 2 down the road too! 

• Survivor Blood Vs. Water Seasons- Both seasons of Blood Vs. Water from Colton suddenly quitting to the return of Rupert and his wife Laura it was such an interesting season to watch indeed.

                  There is some of my favorite seasons that I really enjoyed and mind you I have seen some of the seasons before Pearl Islands such as Amazon, Borneo and Australian Outback. I only had 3 seasons from the pre idol era and the rest is more the recent seasons of Survivor season but I hope you guys enjoyed this post as I enjoyed writing it for you guys.

CP Holiday Train 2018

               I got to go to the CP Holiday train right behind one of our local Walmart's here and I didn't go with my dad, I went with my friend Dave who is being tested out as a potential camera man for Chris B On The Web. That's right I will have an assistant if all is well and right now I am evaluating his work for yesterday.  I met up with him around 145 pm as I had to go to the Dollarama to get a note pad and pens and mind you the 1 pen out of the pack of 2 died outside, despite the 2nd working out of nowhere. We had a few minutes at the food court table but then had to leave to get the bus no longer after I arrived at the food court. So we left, Dave had to stop at the dollar store himself to get some drinks for the time we were down behind Walmart. We got on the bus and arrived to the back of the Walmart. I left the can food I brought to donate to Feed Durham and we got into our spot to stand and watch the music. Also we got to shake hands with our Mayor whom will be not out Mayor anymore as he was elected to the Regional Chair. Also I saw both my Regional and Local Councillors for our ward there as well. 


               The train came and we listened to Kelly Prescott, Sierra Noble which Kelly Prescott and Sierra Noble are Country Artists. Kelly was on the guitar and Sierra with her wicked fiddle playing and I could not believe how fast she played the fiddle. I was really in complete aw with the way she played the fiddle the entire time. There was a couple of songs I recognized that were Christmas related songs, such as Deck The Halls & Run Rudolph Run as well. Also they sang some songs they wrote so it was nice to mix it up from Christmas to regular Country. I actually started to appreciate Country music a bit more and I am planning on listening to Terri Clark on YouTube as I have not really listened to her music before. Yes Terri Clark came out at the very end of this performance so they saved the best for last and it was a great performance by all 3 of them. Yes all three played together and so well mind you. 


                In conclusion to today's blog post, I really hope they come back through the city here again next year as I think it was a big hit with people and was a great turnout for the Holiday Train 2018. Not every year it comes through, it's like sometimes every 2nd year it will stopped here but I would like to have it come through but honestly, beggers cannot be choosers but we can only hope they do come back next year and I can add this to the list if they are coming through but do not expect an announcement till it gets closer to the date of the train coming through the town. Was pretty neat with all the music they squeezed in in 35 minutes of them actually being there to perform for us. I know they are now on their way to British Columbia as that is their final destination point. We both had a good time and let's see who will be singing next year.

The Future of Chris B On The Web... (Updated!)

            This will probably be in two parts one for the main part of Chris B On The Web and the second part is what will be aired on the air through our newly re-inquired The CBOTW Network that was unfortunately abandoned due to the need of having a network wasn't a need at the time anymore. I will talk about that in this post, including what I have already mentioned to you guys before so here is the list of things to expect with CBOTW in 2019:

• I have been talking about this for the last 2 months at the most but chrisbontheweb.com will be back and active as a website again once the domain is fully expired and the expected time to have it back up is by end of the year, early 2019 at the most as I planned this ahead of time to aim and get the site back up by end of this year at the most. This is the better plan to have this site as the .com as it has done extremely well compare to the other website so this experiment has indeed worked out.

• Also Everything About Reality TV will be planning to bring on a second host for the Celebrity Big Brother (If the host is confirmed for it), Big Brother Canada 7 & Big Brother 21 if Julie continues to host) but either way when I go away I can not worry about hosting while I am away for a week seeing family as I am planning to go away but hoping to save up for a laptop to take with me on the trip so I can upload the episodes to the platforms as I will be the one to do that. Also this will take the extra stress off of me and I think it is time for this change to happen.

• I will be definitely being going back to most of the same events next year. End of next year I will add back the Tyrone Parade of Lights to the list once again as this year there are no plans on going back due to my birthday being on the same day but it will be back. Also I am not sure yet but I may be removing myself from Autism Celebration as I wasn't happy with the turn out but I will let you guys know. Also I would like to attend the Itailian Festival in Toronto this year but we will see how things go. I may swamp out the food truck Friday for the Italian and maybe just rotate every year for once.

• Finally Both Larry and I will be conclude this epic Zordon era of the Power Rangers (Mighty Morphin, Zeo, Turbo & In Space) and also have a general discussion about the last 6 seasons of the Zordon era and we have already been pre-planning this already and have had many discussions about it too.

Friendships Come and Friendships Go...

         Friendships come and friendships go and I have experienced that recently and there is nothing I can really do about it. I know it hurts with some friendships of 13 years which doesn't much to the other party involved and it hurts honestly. We had plans to take our dads to the Generals hockey game like we use to, we had plans to go to an eviction together, including one of my other friends and now it sounds like Larry and I are going on our own and that fine, I know the route technically and I know how to get ourselves around by now so that is good. I could involve another friend in this if I really wanted to honestly I could include someone else to go with us. Friendships that have been shorter seem to not really bother me I tend to get over it sooner and I am not sure why the heck I feel this way but it is what it is. I am still wrapping my head around all of this and I just do not know what went wrong and friends turned on me or they accuse me of something I never did and want nothing to do then I think it's time I start to make the changes in my life at this point is to find some new friends. I have been within that group of friends for a very long time now and I honestly tired of the drama with some of them and it is time to make some changes in my life. 


             I am not saying that I'm making complete change just gotta figure out who are my true friends and I think at this time I am started to see the people who still truly care about me and are my friends. I guess I shouldn't be so trusting but I am. I am just able to trust people so easily and i should be careful who to trust especially if they've turned on me before in the past and I not using names as I just do not want to cause anymore problems but I am allowed to have an opinion and that is what I am doing currently. I just do not know where I stand with some people and I am regretting gaining a new friendship but it was a test to see if they were going to stay a true friend or not. I am glad I reconnected with someone from ball and we talk quite a lot and I've actually invited him out to the house for my birthday so that will be nice to be around friends but I have friends that I can talk to on a regular basis and I am involved with volunteer work which is good, I can meet new people and never know I will get some new friends down the road! Like I said friends come and friends go and the ones that stay are truly a good friend!

The CBOTW Show... RE: Power Rangers Podcast

          I know, I know! I have spoken about this podcast a ton before but I want to make it clear with you guys that both Larry and I came to an agreement down the road and that is why I have made the decision to officially release this statement which I have had in the back of my mind for the last 9 days now since seeing Larry last at the movies. So what is this announcement you may ask? Well recently we were talking about the seasons of Power Rangers Podcast and how he didn't really understand the seasons after and that is when I made the statement that let's stop at Dino Thunder and he agreed and that is our plan is to stop with Dino Thunder and we will not be continuing on with those whatsoever so it will be a cut off point for us to recording those but a great run. We plan on talking about the team ups after Dino Thunder at the end of the the Dino Thunder Season podcast. There is so much we can and cannot do with that podcast and we cannot do the entire series as we would be going on and on and what a great way to end those podcasts with Jason David Frank's last full on season before the team ups later on.


             What happens from there? Well Larry most definitely will be involved in Everything About Reality TV in special episodes like the 500th episode, Big Brother Canada Finale's down the road like he use to be involved with and that is fine with me honestly. I'll start picking up more shows on The CBOTW Show down the road and will not really worry about the podcast failing as it hasn't failed and Music City is a great fit for that Podcast and I plan on continuing on that one as it is the sister Podcast to Everything About Reality TV   There will always be shows to cover on the podcast and Hell's Kitchen as I mentioned on Twitter yesterday as it was a hint that I really wanted to actually cover it if they decide to renew but if not then you never know what will be covered on this podcast down the road. I will start doing polls on Twitter to see what you guys would like to see on the podcast in the way of shows.  That is my announcement that Larry and I are stopping the Power Rangers Podcast after Dino Thunder and moving on with other projects and interests that we are interested in.

Life With Strange: Before The Storm Game Review (Some Spoilers)

            I originally was going to be talking about do I listen to my own podcasts but I have already written so today's blog post is about Life is Strange: Before The Storm which is a video game and I bought it about 2 weeks ago and I didn't realize it was 3 episodes only plus a bonus episode but I also didn't realize the episodes at some point take up 45 minutes to 1 hour to finish so it took a while and a lot dialogue to the story which is cool and I really liked the story line of the entire game. Mind you I never really made the right choices with Chloe whatsoever but I tried to rectify that with the bonus episode that takes place before Chloe's dad died in the car and I saw that at the end when Chloe and her mom is grieving over the loss of a loving father to Chloe. Also Chloe was just accepted into Blackwell Academy and her struggles as well. I made the wrong choice getting her expelled but that was the choice and I do not think I had a choice, she would of been expelled regardless of her skipping classes whatsoever. I even made Chloe talk back to her mom and her mom's boyfriend so yeah, I wasn't being nice to em but you have to do what you think is right and that is exactly what I did in the game.


             I definitely give it a 10/10, love the graphics in the game especially and the way the game itself was presenting itself I do not think there was much of a choice to make in the way of not getting Chloe expelled, it would of happened one way or another. The storyline in the game is so powerful with the news Rachel gets to the dramatic moments between Chloe, her mom and her mom's boyfriend, it sure a great timeline. Was it hard at points finding the items that I needed to find? Yes of course but I kept on trying and figuring out where it is and what not. I really enjoyed this game and I am actually planning on playing Life is Strange and Life is Strange 2 as I want to get caught up with these stories and i tend to actually enjoy them too. I got a couple of games on my list I want to get and by March I hope to get them as I finish up games here and there but Life if Strange comes first before anything else. I really like the story based games out there and plan on playing some other ones too down the road as well. I highly recommend this game if you like the story based kind of games as well.

Where did I go wrong with The CBOTW Show Podcast?

              Where did I go wrong with The CBOTW Show Podcast and Last Man Standing? I think I rushed right into things with adding in Last Man Standing and people just did not seem to enjoy it so it was a sign. Also I looked at the stats at all the platforms and seems like you guys enjoyed Music City and Power Ranger Stuff so it was not the right time to actually bring Last Man Standing into the podcasts. I think I definitely rushed into things, especially that The CBOTW Show isn't that old. For crying out loud it hasn't been a year since it started up and I am so stupid enough to actually expand way to soon? Makes no sense does it? I had to go with my vision for The CBOTW Show and it seems it failed as I went too fast. You can say I went warp speed on this podcast. It's OK though, I live and learn through these mistakes and that is what I deal with and that's OK honestly.


               Now would I add another show to The CBOTW Show lineup? Well yes, of course I would but right now isn't the right time at the moment to add on another show but that's OK because I have Music City & Power Rangers Podcast to handle on this one and of course I got the other podcast as well to deal with so which means I am a very very busy person at the moment which is good. I promise you if there is another Hell's Kitchen season, I will be covering it on the podcast no strings attached whatsoever so I promise you to expand down the road and it will be a fun to expand but like I said above... Right now is not the right time to do it at the moment. I apologize for a short blog post but tomorrow I promise you I will be posting a bit longer post tomorrow here on the website.
