My Thoughts On The Toronto Raptors NBA Championship Win

               Spent most of the day thinking about this post and trying to soak in the win as a fan of the Toronto Raptors. I can say I haven't been following the Raptors all of the 24 years it was only few years ago when the Raptors really got my attention when they started to have a winning record honestly. However the odd time I would look at the score and yes I can officially say I have been to a Raptors game when I was younger and I remember it was Vince Carter's winning shot to win over the Philadelphia 76ers at the last second. Anyways I feel like it was a well deserved win and I know we could of won it on Game 5 and on the home court but honestly I give credit when credit is due to the Golden State Warriors to winning 2 of the 6 games and they wanted to give a fight. I really think injuries was a major factor for them with losing Durant and Lebron James and other injuries did not really help. Either way we won and this was a great final and both teams played well.  We can officially say the trophy is officially coming north of the border finally and a Canadian, the only Canadian Basketball team to win an NBA championship and yes I know we had the Vancouver Grizzlies here at one point but have since moved.


             Also I can imagine how crazy Toronto will be but that's OK, we have every right as Canadians to celebrate. This is the first championship we have had in Toronto since the Argos football team won the Grey Cup in 2017 and yes I know my history of championships here Toronto. So anyways I am happy one way or another that the Raptors are the champions and it was a long coming for this to happen now another team in Toronto has won on top of the FC Soccer which was a few years ago they won which I forgot to even mention but I mean it is nice to have Canadian teams win. Next up for the Jays to win but definitely wont be this year but it will happen. I can officially knock this off my list in Canadian teams winning the championship Jays (World Series), Toronto FC (Soccer Champs), Toronto Argos (Grey Cup Champs, numerous times) and now the Toronto Raptors winning the NBA Championship. Next up i the Leafs but they are not ready for it. Finally I guess who was going to be the MVP and it was Kawhi Leonard who won it. It was because it was of that amazing jump shot at the buzzer that brought them to the finals and the win in the end.

Took Me 1.5 To Really Start Rebuild Chris B On The Web!

               Never really thought about this since I am now fast approaching 3 years ago but it honestly took me 1.5 years to rebuild CBOTW from the ground up since 2016 as pretty much at the time of me leaving YouTube, I had nothing, had to start from scratch with a website that has nothing on it whatsoever! I pretty much had wipe the website completely with a clean slate and pretty much rebuild it from scratch with removing pages and buttons from the website... So it was a tough first 1.5 - 2 years to start from scratch and get new fans and grow my fan base but look at me now at 3400 followers on twitter and near 150 on Instagram, I have really proved myself that I can be a big success both behind the mic and also off the mic. I really have in the last 3 years grasp the term PR Work which means Public relations, promoting my content regularly and I do and I have since gotten a lot more likes on the podcast and some blog posts but getting better but it has taken time for people to get use to my website format and now it has really proved to be popular as at times I end up getting 100 views or more a day on the site alone. Pretty much since my podcast moved from YouTube to Audio ONLY, I had to end up rebuild my entire subscriber from scratch again but that's OK, I managed to do that in a very short time with expanding on other TV Shows as well.


               Year and a half really did feel like a very long time but it went so quick honestly and now I can say that success has come back with the number of followers on social and also on the podcast and to those who read this blog on a regular basis I thank you for your continuous support of the content and hope you all will continue to support me and the other podcasts around the website as were officially now out of Beta Testing and out of the rebuilding stages and are a full pledge website 24-7, no more website going down or site going down to false reports of abuse, were here to stay and I should of changed website providers sooner as the blogger staff and community been so great in helping me with questions towards starting up this website and getting it running again under the .com once again back in January. So anything is possible honestly and I just had to keep the faith honestly and I know I went through depression with the transition but I am a fighter and very strong willed and got through all the bumps in the road and look at me to this day now.

Chris B On The Web Future Plans....

                Originally I had something else planned for today's blog post, however, I had to do this post to let you guys what the plan is moving forward since I am now not looking for work anymore as I kind of wanna do the online thing and like I said before I do not think work is meant for me honestly. So yes I took yesterday off from CBOTW and just did not do anything and I ended up sleeping till 2 pm EST as my sleep was thrown off and 1 day ago my other screen blew on me night before so I actually ordered another one so I have 2 screens so yes I've gotten 2 new screens in the last 4 - 5 days since both so I should be good for a while. Anyways not the point of this blog, the point I wanna make is what is the plan? Well here is what I am thinking right now and what my thought process on things at this point:

1) Everything About Reality TV- Closing in on Big Brother US Season 21 and Amazing Race Canada Season 7 on top of the current season of Amazing Race 31. Like I said in the announcement post for the podcast I will be working around my holiday schedule too so do not worry. The podcast isn't going anywhere as it is renewed for Season 11 and 12 currently as the recent news of Big Brother Canada Season 8 is confirmed so were nowhere near done with this podcast yet!

2) Blog Posts- With me now doing online stuff since the job search didn't work out, I am planning to do more events and I think I am suppose to do the food truck but we will see how things go honestly, this year it could be a different scenario this year so the next event probably be in September in the fall but I am planning on the Polish and Ukrainian Festival. Followed by Apple Festival, Royal Winter Fair and more on the list for the remainder of the year but it is all on the post I did earlier this year.

3) Power Rangers Podcast- As I mentioned on Twitter late last night or during the night since I was most of the night, I want to push this podcast harder as both Larry and I have fun recording these and I think there will be time between January and February to actual record another one of these so we could be looking at every 4 - 5 months depending on my schedule with Everything About Reality TV which is a priority still no matter what. However, Larry knows this for the longest time, like 6 months now he knows I'd like to do more of these sooner then waiting but then it all comes down to the prep. What do I mean? Watching the series, taking notes then typing em up and then printing them off. Finally scheduling the recording session which is always a last minute thing as it comes down to am I ready for the Power Rangers Podcast? I am going to be adding in more interaction with Larry asking him some questions more as I have been adding in more as we progress into these.

4) Traveling- I will be out in the City of Toronto With Larry and able to promote CBOTW and chat with some of you that pull me aside to chat. I will be chatting about in the next couple of days on a separate blog post.

5) Network-  I have had a interesting proposal and it is not completely clear when it will happen but when it does, CBOTW will be becoming not just my website but a network with more then 1 podcast running so it will definitely be exciting to see when it does happen down the road.


               That is the plan I got moving forward and majority of the things I said you already knew but I did make a couple of tweaks to some of the upcoming things but it cannot be helped as I just cannot do everything things are tight with vacation time coming up fast but I am trying to get through with it but hope you guys like this plan and excited to be more involved, not wait I mean I am excited to be more active and ready to go with plans.

I've Quit Searching For Work....

                I have made the decision to stop looking for work due to a situation that I am going to keep private but I honestly want to explain what is going on. Honestly since Wednesday last week, I have been so active with CBOTW, the most active in a long time and obviously you guys knew something is or was up. Anyways for those who have been following from the start or in the past year or so, especially on Twitter/Instagram I am out every second Tuesday of the month to look for work. Recently something happened where I made the decision to stop looking for work as I have been at it for 5 years. Yes I had a job for 4 weeks but ended up deciding to quit as it wasn't right for me, but it was under a contract trial. However since then I haven't been able to find a job, it has been a tough one as nobody seems to hire someone with a disability. If I kept the job I had, I would of lost the job anyways as they closed down. Anyways not the point of this post. It has been a tough 4 years since that job, had interviews and had no job offers but had interviews but I just felt it was time to stop. My cousin mentioned to me last year when we were down or if it was through online messenger that maybe working is not for me. I really thought about it for the past while and the decision to stop looking for work was made not long ago, since last week I made that decision for myself....


               Now what am I going to do with my time? Well the plan is to volunteer my time with different groups. I am going to work the car show like I did last year at the end of the summer which I really enjoyed last year and I wanted to do it again at the start of September as well. Also someone who was there during the transition from YouTube to Podcasting till we had a mutual agreement for him to leave has been pestering me about returning to the theater and yes it has come to my mind that I wanted to do it again whether it is building sets or front of house I'd do either of them honestly. The final question you guys are going to ask is what about Chris B On The Web? I am not going anywhere! LOL... CBOTW is here to stay and now I can work on it on a regular basis with new posts and yes that means Power Rangers Podcast is going to be worked on this week at some point especially before the holiday comes up at the start of July when I am down in Boston for a week, week and a half at the most. I am excited to what is next for CBOTW and what I am going to be doing next and the plans especially. I am going to be around a lot more and excited for the future plans as I will be starting to prep things very soon!

Wiped Out The Collab Page and Re-Coded It!

             I know it has been a while since I fiddled around with the code in the back end of this website and I decided to give the entire page an overhaul as it was long due for it as the page for the collabs has been sitting gathering since the Power Rangers Podcast went on a hiatus all of a sudden due to a very and hectic schedule I was under. So what I have done was wiped out the entire code which caused the website page to be removed from the entire website but it is still there, but it is not visible to you guys till late last night as I brought it back online without the new content but gives you an idea way things look and I think it honestly looks a ton better as I brought in the description next to the title of the collab then below the code to the player so I sort of gave it the sleeker look and less text then ever as there was honestly way too much text when it came to the page and I know it was very texty and I realize that is truly not a word technically but I mean it was a cluttered up page and really in need of maintenance and that is what I did yesterday was work on the page and looks better. 


           Yes the page is live, just go to the collabs page to see the changes that we have made and honestly I am much happier with it and I know there is one part that looks kind of spread apart but I tried everything to fix it but it seems to just not be fixable at this point but cannot really tell but I will try and continue to fix that, might be a site bug with blogger.com but it could be out of my control but I am sure it has nothing to do with any of the code and I checked time and time again on the code so there is nothing wrong with the code from my back end as it has been checked so many times, my brain hurts but I don't think you guys will really notice much of a difference anyways and nobody has really said anything to me about the gap on there. 


           However, I needed to make these changes to start fitting in newer episodes as I knew when the late spring came, I would be finishing up the prep work for Power Rangers Podcast to get ready to start recording and I had to realize to get this page ready for new releases as I haven't touched the actual page since December of last year so that is definitely 6 months ago to the day of this post being released to you guys, however that is about to soon change with the most recent upload nearly 24 hours from now. I hope you guys enjoy the episode tomorrow and fair warning it is an hour long as we had a ton of content to cover on the episode but we hope you enjoy it and let me know on social media what you think!
