There is a bunch of things I would like to work on when it comes to the blog posts and not only that but also the podcasts there is changes I need to change. This year I notice things were getting better but still a lot of room for improvement honestly. 2020 is going to be definitely different for me and you will all see on January 1st & 2nd as I have a back to back day in Announcements coming to you guys. So what needs to change? This is what I would like to try and change in the year 2020:
1) Blog posts- I have been doing daily posts on a daily basis and honestly it is getting quite exhausting but the more I post the better but for right now I am sticking to the daily posts as I have really enjoyed them and want to continue on for as long as I can but if anything does change I will be definitely will be letting you guys know that I am making the transition to 5 times a week and take the weekends off or rotate every second day but that is later on to make that decision.
2) Podcasts: Everything About Reality TV- As much as I Love this podcast, this year the scheduling has been off kilter and I need to make the changes to make sure that I do indeed post it up on time and not go off schedule and that has been an issue all year long and in general to sticking to a schedule and be more of a consistent podcaster hence that is how you get and keep the viewers on the podcast. That is one of my biggest goals for 2020 as of right now.
3) Podcasts: The Power Rangers Collaboration- I know we went AWAL as crap has hit the fan for us at the end of this year and there has been nothing in the way for a second podcast so come so I hope and praying to get at least 3 out next year, January or February; June and October 2020 so that is where I am aiming and it goes back to what I said above the scheduling issue that I have had this entire year, well this has to change and change fast or I will be losing listeners on either podcast and I have stress this with my team that schedule is key.
So there is what is needed to be worked on in 2020 and this is a lot to honestly take in and it will not happen overnight as it will be tough challenge and I honestly consider this a part of my New Years Resolution for CBOTW as this year has been tough and not easy to deal with the scheduling being really off kilter and honestly I have done a lot better but when it came to the vacation out East and all heck broke loose and on top of that YouTube issues as I have touched in the past, I just lost my touch but when it came to this season which is all coming to an end this week I have actually been on track minus the last week or so I have been on schedule one way or another so I am keeping up on schedule and with the changes coming which I will address in January, but for now I want to make some necessary change so this way we can make this work out one way or another.

Mr. Burger Bacon Burger Food Review!
Yesterday, my parents and I actually ate out for once and we went to one of our most favorite burger places here in town, Mr. Burger which is a very well known establishment. Now I made a decision yesterday to change up my order for once and I actually went with the Bacon Burger which all 3 of us split Onion Rings and Fries. First of all the Onion rings once again nice and juicy and crisp as always and of course I gave it a 5 out of 5 all day long as that rating has not changed from the past review. Fries good side fries and really good as usual and of course I give that a 5 out of 5 as well. Now onto the burger side of things as I said before I got a Bacon burger which had a very nice crispy bacon as I always love it. Had the ickle pickle as Daym calls it with onion mustard ketchup and relish which is my normal toppings and condiments for a burger when we have burgers whether it is here at home or out at a place. The burger I enjoyed every last bite and it exceeded more then what I expected. I give it a 10 out of 5 as I said it exceeded expectations.
Finally please let me know in the comments below if you would like me to review something different on the menu and I will be sure to do that. I really enjoy these food reviews that I do for you guys and even tho that they are not at a great length of a post still you guys get a review one way or another. Now I have not once complained about the Burgers or any of the food and been going there since I was there when I was growing up so there is no complaining to really be made on Mr. Burger. Always a positive review and honestly I do not have too many negative reviews minus *cough, cough* Pizza, Pizza and a at least one other place on my holiday travel but nothing too too bad to complain about but that is always room for improvement if I have something negative to say which is very seldom of the time. Any one last things if you guys want me to go back to Pizza, Pizza let me know on social media or even in the comments and I will go back to the Union Station and give it another shot 6 + months later.

When Is Power Rangers Podcast Returning?
Now that it has been 48 hours (2 Days) later I got another announcement. However this time it is good news compare to my post yesterday's post. So this the OFFICIAL Post for the Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast and I got some news to tell you guys finally to when the collaboration Podcast is returning:
1) Yes The podcast is going to return, however, we are limited in the studio due to the on-going renovations with installing new wall units being installed so this is one of the reason there is a delay in the production side of things at the moment.
2) I have been behind schedule and it is entirely my fault, I should of had it done by end of September but the reason was because I have been dealing with my Mental Health so that is one of the main reasons there has been a hold on production.
3) I have been trying to work on this non stop to get the show watched and now half way with watching the show and the next step will be typing up the notes for Lightspeed Rescue which I think it will not take that long to type it especially if I go at a good pace.
4) Finally, with the renovations, it has indeed been tough to get finished with the episodes as I am getting close but something always seems to be in the way however I think all of this, I should of put the podcast on hold till the New Year however it is coming back.
So with all of that, Larry and I have spoken to each other in person back on Sunday (2 Days ago) and we have come to an collective agreement that we will be back to Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast in (January 2020 sometime) however we will know when we book the day as usual. Why may you ask? Well, with the reno, the setup is limited and right now there is only one boom arm and microphone setup and stuck in a corner it is not the right time right now as we rather have our normal everyday setup. Also we plan to wait till the entire studio is finished and painted so that could take up to at least another month and a half from now to hopefully it will be done. However there is no date in February as of yet but I will be done before Christmas with the planning. Also I will make this clear, I will be working on the next season immediately and with Everything About Reality TV Podcast ending I am going to have a ton of time on my hands and will be really going deep into the show to get a bunch more of collaborations out for you guys on top of my regular appearance on Punk Rock Cheeseburger Podcast. So you never know Larry and I could be recording more of Power Rangers Collab Podcast sooner then you think! I am going to try and get myself ahead so we have a bunch of new content to get out to you guys. Over the next few months, I am definitely going to be busy with planning and preparing for future episodes and never know where this will go down the road either.

Fried Perogies At Toronto Christmas Market Food Review!
As I promised you guys I would do a food review for you guys from the Toronto Christmas Market back on Wednesday and yes I did a double blog post for you guys today. As I mentioned in my post back at noon I had the Perogies with onions and also bacon and not small pieces of bacon either big chunks of it too. They even gave me a ton of sour cream which made it so good. Now the Perogie isn't your typical boiled as it was actually fried European Style which was really, really good even tho it was tough to actually cut but I someway, somehow seemed to manage it with no problem. In the perogie there was potato and cheese the kind we have sometimes every 2nd week or so when we cannot figure out what we want to eat for dinner. The dough was tougher then usual but manageable but it was really good even with the bacon, onions and sour cream. It wasn't my favorite but don't forget this is the first time I have had this and it is honestly hard to cut that was pretty much my main issue.
However I am overlooking that part of the meal the bacon, onions all well cooked and had a ton of flavor so that was good and the cheese and potato were super good too so out of it all it would be a 4 out of 5 and yes I am being generous with the entire meal. Now would I do it again? Hmmm maybe, I really unsure but again I could be feeling different from this review come this time next year when it is time to go to the Christmas Market 2020 as I am sure my dad and I will be back there again at the end of next year. However I want to try something different there instead and kind of switch things up each year and I am sure I will be back to the same thing eventually but who knows. Either way I ate it and enjoyed it and that is what entirely matters to me and really I didn't complain about it but it was in the back of my mind on the one issue but really I didn't worry about it at all. I am all about the experience at the Toronto Christmas Market every year that I go with my dad and we made time despite the busy schedule around this studio reno project. Finally I hope you enjoyed this bonus post and I will see you in tomorrow's regular post at the usual time.

Toronto Distillery Christmas Market 2019
Wednesday afternoon, I got to go with my dad and honestly I really didn't want to go but I went and I had a ton of fun once I got there. Yea I was tired and I once again didn't sleep or didn't sleep at all and by the time you see this post I am already on the road to meet up with 2 of my former staff. Anyways we took the Go Train and yes I had to refill my Presto as I may have ran right out by the time I got home but that is besides the point. The train trip takes me about 45 minutes from here to there and that is OK honestly. We got there we had to take a subway and a streetcar there but least its not as long as last year as we got stuck at a station due to a damn signal ahead so this year we were a little worries. We got there we had dinner first which was Perogies which I will be posting up a second post up for you guys this afternoon at 3 pm EST. 
There was a socks booth, chocolate booth, Melted Swiss Cheese, Poutine which again I will explain that part in my Food Review later on when I post up the blog post later on. they also have a smores booth which is very yummy, Wishing Well, drinks both normal and alcoholic which I just had a hot chocolate due to my meds which next year I am taking before I leave for the event this way I can join my dad. Of course they had a tree and it was blue and white with the big shiny balls and I can imagine the comments to this post from you guys... smh. However some of the lights were off and I thought they would of checked the lights or they just burnt out so they will probably have to replace em. We had a good time one way or another and the time we were there went very fast and just enjoyed ourselves as we always do. This does conclude events locally and also in Toronto for 2019 and 2020 is close to coming I am already excited for the events in 2020 which pretty much are the same the events as this year but with some adjustments that I need to make in 2020. I will talk to you in the next post later on today for the Food Review.Chris

Knowing When To Say That's Enough....
With all the change that is going on in my life currently I thought this was the best idea for a post and that is to say and know that is enough. I admit in the past I have not been able to let go and say OK, Chris that is enough with YouTube or a web series or in this example Everything About Reality TV which is ending in now less then a week from now and change will be huge for me especially. If you just feel fed up or tired of doing something that you have been doing for little over 4 years like me then that is usually the cue to say OK that's enough it is time to move on. I know change is extremely hard at times but change can also be a good thing for you honestly. I have been getting so much better at change and you can too! It just takes a bit of time to adjust to the change and that is how it is going to be over the next few weeks after my podcast ends I will have to readjust. and it takes a bit of adjustment but you will get adjust in time. However there is a thin line when you have to say that is enough, time to move on and that's what I am doing.
I wouldn't say that my podcast was a fail it was very much successful and boy we have a ton of plans in the future. With me saying that's enough for Everything About Reality TV there is some major plans in the works for me and now that I am down to 1 podcast, the collaboration Podcast as of a week Sunday when the final episode of Everything About Reality TV goes up. When you say that is enough there is always open doors and yesterday it was opportunity banging the door down on me. As you finish one thing there is always new opportunities awaiting for you and that is what has happened in the last 12 - 13 hours for me and I am just so eager and excited to tell you guys what the big secret that I am hiding but that will not announced till Jan 1st, 2020 when the entire plan for CBOTW is released to you guys publicly. One last thing on this post today is You will know when it is time to say that's enough, you have to listen to what is inside your heart and it will guide you through. Sometimes you second guess yourself but in the end you will be guided the right direction. Hope this helps and I will talk to you guys in the next post tomorrow at 12 pm EST.

My Mental Health Is Better Then It Has Been!
I can be honest with you guys, my mental health has been better then it has been. I mean with friends turning on me this year, my mental health got bad again and I really had to deal with hence one of the reasons I stopped volunteering this year to deal with myself first. My mental health and well-being is the upmost importance to me at this time. I have been working on getting myself a lot happier and it has been honestly an uphill battle especially with dealing with Everything About Reality TV and what I really wanna do if I wanted to continue or just call it quits with it and honestly I think this one of the reasons I have been down and not myself as this podcast has really brought me down and I can say 4 years, 12 seasons, over 240 + Episodes it is the right time to stop the podcast and move on and I am happier now with the right decisions. I have to think what is best for me and makes me the happiest and this is the best decision. Now with friends, like I said I know who my friends are after losing 2 friends I know who my real friends are and happy with the friends I got right now. I am feeling so much better that I have control of my own life and not let anyone get in the way. Eric really opened up my mind in the past few weeks and has made me think so that has helped me.
I can say I am in a much happier place now and nothing will stop my happiness and one thing I am planning on doing is staying positive and it has helped me as the more positive I am the better things are for me. I have been thinking things a lot more clearly and sometimes I will talk things out in my studio and figure things out. Also I have been thinking about the pros and cons of things and honestly it has helped me. Either way I am a lot happier and able to think clearly, however with my podcast ending, it will really help me clear up but give me a few weeks and the motivation and happiness will be up but right now I have to focus on finishing up the podcast then take the next step. That is another thing, I am able to take baby steps and one step at a time as some things are a step by step but I have to also take one day at a time and that seems to help as well. Either way I am a happy go lucky person and my happiness is what matters as I do not want to go back into a depression ever again, I want to remain happy. I know in the end it is not easy even with someone that has autism since I was young and I just have to somehow deal with it and with the tools I have been given, I need to continue to follow it.
