Video Games Updates

           Today post I want to update you guys on the video games I am currently still on. Now I am playing a game I haven't touched in a very long time honestly. The game I am referring to is Minecraft. Yes I went back to my old world to start dismantling the house which was the first thing I dismantled but what I did was gut it entirely, removed the windows and the roof and it was an open concept. Then the garden center was taken down and moved under water which mind you it was tough due to build but built the garden center first and moved all that to a smaller garden center. The after that I dug out where the garden center to put in foundation for the football stadium. So then I built up the structure by moving the wall over towards the end of the one end so it looked like the actual wall of the former house as the original house as part of the house, 2 walls remained in tact to become part of the stadium as displayed in the picture above. Then the barn came down as I transferred the animals elsewhere took the roof and tore the walls and floor out gutted the floor first. Also spawner is gone too so I can make room for the stadium. Right now I am digging out the ground where the spawner and barn was to put in foundation.


                Now with Isaac, I have been mainly focused on Minecraft recently but when I do play it, I do very well on it. I have been to the Mom fight at the very end and the heart but yet I ended up dying in the end which is not good honestly but getting closer and closer to finishing up the challenge with the spider challenge or whatever it is called and one of these days I will end up winning and it will indeed be a happy day when I beat it finally. Now finally on the list as there is currently 3 games I am playing which I have now mentioned on here but the last game I would like to mention is The Messenger. Right now I am currently stuck on the game at a certain point and honestly I have put the game on the wayside for now and not played it much recently. Those are the 3 games I have played and honorable mention that I started to play Starcraft again but that was put to the way side as well but it is fun to play again for old time sake and will get back to it eventually.

3 Years Ago The Entertainment Man Talk Show Ended It's Long Run...

            3 years ago today, I made the decision after a struggling 1 year trying to figuring out the future of the series. I honestly did not think that the series would continue as it was a tough go with things trying to come up with ideas and I just wasn't sure I wanted to continue. One thing I should of done was move my podcast, Everything About Reality TV to a separate channel and stop making series that could of been or should of been what I wanted to do and yes I'd done it Audio ONLY as well too. Anyways, getting off topic clearly but it still hurts to this day that it ended and it is or has been the hardest thing to get over as it was a big part of my life on a regular basis. However, I have re-adjusted to the change of being a podcaster very well. There is so many memories that I will always have and especially some of the most funniest moments as well. Some days, I have flashbacks of the old days but some of them are really good moments that have happened over the course of the series. It was almost on the air for 10 long years but I think 6 seasons was enough for me to say that's a wrap. I was really looking at the viewership and honestly 3 years ago at this time, the views were down compare to the past seasons and I was given advice sooner but really did not take it. It feels strange to be talking about the series, the show 3 years later as I really did not wanna to talk about it over the last 3 years as it has been an hard and very difficult transition over.


               However I miss the old days of YouTube, just now I am in my right place. I really enjoy podcasting and have more time to spend with my friends and family compare when I was on the platform. I will always have the memories of the series that I have done and was my longest series that I did on YouTube with my podcast now the longest running project I have done thus far but as for YouTube series this was one of my favorite projects I have done beside Chris Travels To Historic Places which only did run 3 episodes but The Entertainment Man Talk Show was one of my faves no doubt. Not just because it ran 8 years but the fact it had a lot of memories in it as well and was a fun show to shoot. There is a ton of bloopers that made the channel and some of them I do regret posting cause of the language and if I had that access to my old YouTube account today, probably end up being demonetized entirely. It has been a long 3 years since the series got cancelled but like I said there is tons of memories I will never forget nor the help of my team back in the day.

Weight Loss Has De-railed On Me...

          At one point I was at 219 pounds but currently standing at 222.4 pounds as I gained some weight but despite that I have now slowly went down even by a few ounces but it is a start and I I was at one point at 224 but 2 pounds are now gone. I do not know where I really went wrong on this diet, maybe we have eaten out a little too much perhaps? I know every week we seem to be eating out somewhere but I have told them time and time again that I am trying to get my weight down. Now the plans to get down to 210 pounds by summer is not going to happen since Summer is just days away I do not think I can lose 12 pounds by then but the goal is to lose the weight by September then December down to 195 pounds by then. I should of stayed focus and now I am more focused on losing this weight more then ever. I plan on getting the weight down faster then you know it. I plan on walking a ton this week and I know this week will be a busy week so I will be out and about tomorrow right through to Friday with appointments and being with friends and also looking at some more bed sheets but we will see about that. The more I walk the better honestly for me and kind of why I have my fitbit on my wrist majority of the time ever step I make even at home does count for me.


           I have cut back on the sugar and portion size and I am losing ounces at a time but it is indeed a start for me honestly. I never been this serious about the weight loss and I am going to succeed and my ultimate goal is to be at 200 pounds or less by the end of this year, 2019. I know what you will be thinking that is a bit of too much of a goal but if I work hard I can get down there by end of the year. Again, my goal is to get to 175 pounds but that is way off the chart for right now as I need to focus on the 210 then the 200 pounds but one step at a time and I am so serious now that I need to lose the weight and drinking tons of water in a day which is so healthy and once and a while I add in that lemon to give it flavor to the water but I am all healthy most of the time now. I have to just stay positive and know I can do this.

Next Week, Heading Out To Etobicoke With Larry!

               I am heading out to Etobicoke next Wednesday and already 40% chance of rain which isn't too good but we're going anyways as the chance is at 40% so it is not that bad honestly and I do not think it will happen at that percentage. So we probably have a cloudy day I am predicting and it will be a fun day ahead of us. In Etobicoke, we are first heading to Sherway Gardens to start the day off with Lunch at the mall there. From there we are heading over to Kipling Station and across to Spadina and from Spadina, we are heading down into China Town all the way to the harborfront and back to Union with no stops, then Union Station back home. However, you guys see us both Larry and I, which we will have our CBOTW Tags on, be sure to stop us and say hey! Love chatting with you guys! So we are excited to be going out there and on the bus and touring from the west end of Toronto to the Central side of Toronto and hopefully promoting CBOTW on our way across the city. If the weather is nice I will be wearing my CBOTW shirt so you will definitely recognize me one way or another. It is going to be a fun day and the fact I am getting out of Durham will be indeed nice and away from the drama I have had to deal with in the past month, it will just be nice to be away from here and in the bigger city with my co-founder of Everything About Reality TV and Co-Founder/Host Power Rangers Podcast as well. 


            I wish Wednesday would come quickly as I need to get away cause I am once again still going bat crazy around my studio and this week, the only time I left the studio for a few hours was back on Monday as I have been stuck inside and since the weather has been nice minus the rainy days we have had recently I should be getting out and about for the day, even a bus ride would be nice honestly but least next week I will be out and about and in July him and I are heading to Starr Burger to try their burger or the other option could be Five Guys Burger place which is nearby the Walmart and down the road from our local mall but either way we are definitely going to be out and have a great day in General. It does seem like a lot that is going on but honestly it isn't if you think of it as it is pretty much a direct route out to Union from where we will be. We have 2 - 3 different options we could do honestly but soon as we get to Long Branch, the fun will indeed begin! Oh don't worry there will be pictures on Instagram and I will be doing a blog post about the day out in Toronto as well!

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!
