Yesterday we had a Doors Open event and I think it was all across Ontario honestly which is really cool we got to do this as there hasn't really been one here before. So we went to a few places yesterday for those who are wondering what day I went to the event it was yesterday. I can say we made a mistake as we went to the Airport first and we took much time to find the NO. 6 Fire Hall as we were planning to visit it for doors open but we ended up in NO 5 which I told my dad it was 6 not 5. So we got down to the Courthouse for the Doors Open too late. We got to the airport and we saw a Cessna Float Plane I believe it was a 185 if I remember correctly. Also Piper and also the World War trainer "The Harvard" airplane. Also a Russian Airplane as well that we saw that was sitting there and my dad gave me a brief history on it as well. Also I had this Grilled Cheese with Macaroni.
I will get into that on tomorrow's blog post for you guys as I got yet another food review that wasn't suppose to be schedule this week but I am adding it in for you guys one way or another. So we next up since the Courthouse Doors Open ended at 1 pm EST our time here we went to the Armory where we had all the vehicles from the Canadian Army which was so amazing how tough the vehicle material and we guess it is definitely very safe when in travelling. We spent probably a good 10 - 15 minutes there before we headed on our final location which was Cowan House which he was Mayor for about 6 or 7 years for our City which was a town at the time before it became an actual city as it is pretty good size now to this day. So we had some history of our city from way back in the late 1800's and I never thought the city existed back then but hey I learned something completely new yesterday an it is always nice to learn something new about the city that you live in.
It wasn't a complete failure as we had the one mishap with the one location but both my dad and I agreed if they do this again next year and I am sure they will and I think it is a great way to expose yourself to some of the history of your local city or town's history. We have a couple of other locations in the back of our minds what we wanna do next year if they do indeed do this again. Anyways tomorrow like I am doing the food review and I did not get the name but I know exactly what it is and how it tasted so that is tomorrow's post then we will be back into a normal routine but I have already pre-written some already ahead of time as today, tomorrow will be a busy one so I am a bit of ahead of myself as my schedule is quite booked up recently. So be on the lookout for that and we will see you guys tomorrow for the next post which will be back up @ 11 am EST.

I can say this I am getting better at the procrastinating but still am having issues with the whole thing currently. It will indeed take me a while to get better at it. Recently I was procrastinating with the entire Big Brother 21 and I know the season is over now with it being 2 - 3 days later but I mean it was the worse experience of procrastination hence the reason why you guys saw it go to the way side very quickly but I made the promise to you guys it'll be back and I am a man to my word and will promise it. Sometimes it is too much to weave in at once and that could be the issue with me getting things out on time but recently things are looking are looking better as I said. I will explain myself on that. This week I have shown a lot more interest in Everything About Reality TV and I actually got to be on track this week for once and my goal is not procrastinate and get the podcasts out right on track for the entire season to see if I can indeed reach this goal as next year is going to be big for the podcast as you know it will be our 5th year ON-Air. Other then that I am still having some issues with getting posts out in the morning as my sleep schedule I am either in bed early or I'm up late but there is no excuse for me to fall behind on those. That is the one problems I am currently enduring at the moment but I can say it is starting to get better slowly but surely.
I am getting a ton better but still got a bunch of work to do with the procrastinating. One things I have found myself doing is following a schedule I have set. So I normally have it all set up on the white board from posts for the daily blogs which I am shocked it has lasted this long 700 + blogs on almost a regular basis and I am still writing posts even to this day and I think this will never end to be honest as I enjoy writing on a daily basis and usually I am very, very good with actually posting up something everyday which is why today's post is being doubled up so you get a bonus post. Just to let you guys know the bonus post is out at 11 am EST followed by a 2 hr window for the main one. So in conclusion of this I think it is getting better but I still struggle from time to time on this issue but I think we all do at times so I am not the only one with procrastinating as we all procrastinate from time to time but I want to eventually cut it out entirely and have a very smooth flow of things. Sometimes I just to need to just go with the flow at times but I will get it eventually.

After thinking about it for a while now I certainly have a good idea what to expect with the new studio. I am planning to have myself and guest chairs facing out with the wall unit having the green screen pinned to the wall which is the initial thought and that is what I am planning. However the question is how is the lighting going to work so that is definitely a concern however there is a plan B in effect but I rather have the wall unit with the green screen attached to the wall unit as it probably work a lot better then the other plan. The second plan was to put the desk against the wall unit and the curtain directly behind me that could be an issue as there is nothing to hold up the rod up in the rafters so I am leaning towards the first one as that will be the best move but now how the heck in the way of spacing going to work? That is definitely going to be a challenge for me and I am sure both Larry and I will figure it out as hes going to help me pack up stuff in the studio in a week and a bit from now when we pack up stuff and certain mics will be removed and I will be switching the mic for a while. Either way I have an idea where the white board will go as you know right now on the right side of me when I am sitting at my desk currently. However I could keep it as it is but then the green screen I would need to probably put it sideways so the guest in the studio would have a green screen. However again the lighting would have to change too.
Either way I am excited for the next version of the studio and what I may have to do is get that lighting from Amazon as this lighting may or may not work for me as I do not know how the wiring would work and I would definitely have to make some changes to the studio especially with the new version of the studio but it will all be revealed in time I am sure as I am not sure what the exact plan is but right now my main focus is to get things packed up for the renovation which will be on going through the entire month of November and yes there will be a day I take off to go to the Royal Winter Fair. I promise you guys once I do get the actual studio done I will do an official tour on Instagram TV for you guys of the newly renovated studio and what it is going to look like. Final words on this post for today, Larry and I are planning to do a blue print of a plan for the newly renovated studio once it is done and everything is in place.

This is way back in the day this is my final years of elementary school I got the honor and privilege to be in a school musical called "The Highlight Zone" which the description of the music is or your consideration, Jess, who is to begin his/her first day at a new school, is especially apprehensive about taking Music Appreciation class. His/her fears about the unknown lead this unsuspecting student into "THE HIGHLIGHT ZONE!" It was a fun play to be on but was very stressful when it came to the rehearsals and staying after school to practice the music an the lyrics to the song and boy our teacher, she was tough on us but that is a good thing especially if we want to have a really good performances that were on May 31st an June 1st of 2001. Yes I remember the performances date to be exact and I remember that Tuesday, I had a school performance before the ones for the families and friends of all the students in the school. I also had to during the school performances for all the classes I had to do one extra line to fill in for someone and boy I was nervous but two of the girls ensured that I would be fine and I was they even said quietly during the performances and I remember them very well too. I remember the dress rehearsal that was a very dramatic and also hectic Saturday as well.
In the end it was a great show both the 2 shows we put on for the classes on that Tuesday and also the two performances we put on for the parents and families. I wasn't the greatest singer back then but you can hardly tell with my very coarse voice but I enjoyed it. I think with me in a musical, it really got me into being an entertainer to this very day so this dates back to 2001, 18 years ago before YouTube was an actual thing, before even live video streaming platforms existed but I am now sure a performer, even to this day I enjoy being an entertainer and it sure fits my personality as I am always cracking up stupid jokes at people or about myself, especially when it comes to my mishap behind the microphone from time to time. I hope you guys enjoyed this little throwback Thursday story as I always enjoy talking about experiences I had in the past, including when it comes to when I was in school, elementary school to be exact. I will see you guys on tomorrow's blog which I will be talking about my vision for the studio's future look when the reno is done.

Everything About Reality TV today turns 4 years old. It feels so surreal to be at this point of it being On Air. Really over all the years of it being on the air, I thought it wouldn't last this long on air but it is because of you guys the reason why it has been on the air for the longest time. Also the fact that there has been Reality TV Shows is another reason why it has been on the air. I thought after June 2016 it would of ended and I would be doing something else but no, the more I did the more better I have gotten at it. It sure as heck didn't take just a couples of days to a week to get better at it, it took me months years to improve and get better. I think I am doing a very good job with the podcasts now compare from the start of the podcast in 2015. Now as you know and I realize it started up on Video over on YouTube platform from 2015 - 2016 which was the beginning of this entire adventure till I retired from the platform and as you now know it has been Audio ONLY since September 2016 with Survivor Millennial's Vs. Gen X which was what I started Audio ONLY with. Here is the timeline below what the timeline of the Podcast:
YouTube Platform: September 24th, 2015 - May 18th, 2016 (Video ONLY)
Hiatus from The Podcast: May 19th, 2016 - September 20th, 2016
Audio ONLY: September 22nd, 2016 - PRESENT
There is the timeline and yes there was a summer hiatus between the Summer and the fall as that was my transition period from the YouTube platform before it all began. Always wondered what would of happened if the Podcast remained on Mixcloud. Probably wouldn't be on Stitcher, Podcasts.com. Tune-In, Player FM, ITunes and all 14 platforms that are listed here on the website. We would probably still be at the bottom of the barrel with this podcast and not going far. So either way the move in late 2016 was the right move as the years moved on, we grew and we grew and now being on 14 platforms which is insane now and it is crazy to think that other platforms have indeed found this podcast. One highlight of the last 4 years of this podcast being on the air would be definitely be getting an email from CMT about covering Music City which I cover both seasons when it was on air and still not sure the future of the show or if it has indeed been finished up but I really enjoyed that and thankful for them to contacting me. Finally here is to another amazing year on the podcast and the road to 5 Years on the air which is definitely a big feat for me! Honestly I have fun creating this podcast for the last 4 years and I am not ready to stop anytime soon. Like I said as long as there is Reality TV Shows, I will be covering em on Everything About Reality TV.

I know things have been very awful quiet with the Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast. In today's post, I will be talking about some of the updates that I can provide to you guys now that things have slowly changed over the last couple of weeks and discussions have been made between the two parties. First of all, I know that the podcast did end up on a lengthy hiatus due to some unnecessary drama but this is why the post is being made this morning is to give you guys a bit of an update on what is happening currently with this Collaboration Podcast. So without further ado here are the updates I can give you for right now:
1) The feud between Larry and I, yes we had a bit of a feud due to a communication break down. Anyways now to this day, both him and I are on good terms and we have figured out things out and we are currently both wanting to continue with this collaboration as we did make a promise to YOU guys, the best fans out there that we would continued on with this podcast so we are back into Pre-Production.
2) With saying that what's the status of the Podcast now? Well, currently I am watching Power Rangers Lost Galaxy and near the finish of the 7th season so I will be heading into the 8th season of the series. There was a backlog due to what I said in my first post but with the drama, I did stop working on it and decided to not bother with it for about a week or two so the notes just sat in my bin without any work.
3) The third point I would like to make is that I did catch up with the notes and now more then half way mark as I have binged watched episodes for hours per day so I made up some time there. However the first week in October is now in question and with the studio renovation coming up, I am not sure we will be recording till later like December or even January 2020 at the most now.
4) Finally if we indeed record in January 2020, we will be definitely be doing the podcast 3 times next year so I do plan on watching the next set of Power Ranger seasons and get myself a bit ahead so we are ready to go for the next two sessions. However I do need to still talk to Larry about things and come up with a proper make up schedule as November is a definite no as I will be helping and renovating the studio and changing things up here in the studio and none of the microphones will be up and things will be stored away during the renovations in the studio here so a proper schedule will have to be discussed between him and I this week hopefully.
There is the updates I do have right now and once him and I are ready to start recording again, I will be making the official announcement for you guys to when it will be coming back but for right now it is 95% On Hiatus for now while the studio is being changed around and fixed up. Trust me when we get back, things will be definitely 100% better and the quality and production of this podcasts will be a ton better then hey have been recently.

I never really thought about this ever happening again EVER as you know the team was pretty much stripped down to me only on CBOTW and I have been on my own for the past 2 + years. With the addition of Billy to the list of podcasts and partnership with Rocky, I have started a "Team" Page here on the website. Now the page itself is now complete in the design with the text and images which took me sometime to work on as I wasn't really sure on the way to insert an "image into the table code on the website which is the way I formatted the website without using the normal builder here on the website so this page and majority of the pages on this website is all coded together minus the blog which is a part of the website itself. The rest of the website is made up of entirely code, html code, IFrame, CSS Code, you name it! Even the menu button is all based on code! Cannot say I built this website from scratch pretty much and if you ask me it sure as heck does look professional in a way and probably why the viewership has been up lately on the website so you guys are definitely liking the change that this site has gone through recently. Yes the team page has been finished and tweaked already so that is definitely a great sign in getting it active on the website.
I know what you are going to say... Active? It's not even up and yes I do realize that as I had to do some numerous of tweaks and re-code to the page as some text showed bold so I re-coded part of that page and it seems to look really, really good now. The next phase is to tinker with the menu bar code which I know can be a royal pain in the butt to deal with but I think I got the concept of the menu bar code down. So over this week I will be working on the menu bar and testing it so if anything goes out of sync do not be alarmed as I probably broke something on the website like I normally do when I build the website. Either way this newly fixed website does look very awesome and I have worked hard over the last few months planning and implementing the code into the site and building this new bar and I swear this probably will be the last time I tinker with the website for a very long time unless a new service or something happens on this website which probably will not be for a long time. Yes I got a plan in the back of my mind but you guys have to wait and see what I mean in the nearby future. When I am ready to release the addition to the menu bar I will announce it publicly, Facebook (Yes I got a Facebook www.facebook.com/ChrisBOnTheWeb) Twitter & Instagram and also here on the blog as well.
