Nothing Wrong With Thinking Ahead and Problem Solving!

                   The last 24 - 48 hours I have time to reflect while working on notes and content in general and I have come up with solutions to some of the problems going on around the community, content wise. It is not you guys, it's me trying to do 100 things at once, multi tasking to make sure things get done in a timely fashion to meet goals for the end of 2021. I have been thinking about how to make recording the collab work and the solution I came up is finish Mystic Force, get that done and delivered in the mail to Larry one town over since we are not yet back in studio with one another and once he gets it we will record it and like I said on social media, we will be keeping it on the backburner till all notes are completed and sent out to him and that will be the next project. Practically right now it is Power Rangers Collab Notes and Entertainment Man Podcast and going back and forth with the two projects.  Once I am done the notes I will start to edit the collab and back and forth with that. While working on RPM I will get a head start on Entertainment Man Podcast for 2022. 

                    I am really thinking and planning ahead to what needs to be done for the rest of this year and into 2022. I know I am all over the place right now when it comes to getting the work done and I guess this is a part of me where I have to trust my gut instincts. I cannot say when collab episodes are coming out but I know it will be out probably week apart from one another but I could hold onto episodes till their all done and release em for you guys but this is something I would definitely have to talk to Larry about. However I am always looking into the future and how things can be done, what works and what isn't working and it is about getting things done in a timely fashion. I  know I sound like a broken record but this collab, no offense to Larry but it is eating up my time for other projects on ChrisBOnTheWeb and I was hoping to have started on Entertainment Man Podcast for 2022 already. However it is what it is and just gotta take it one thing at a time, one day and week at a time and it will all come together eventually. That is my post for today, hope you guys enjoyed it and be sure to follow on the right hand side by hitting the follow, best way to know when a new post does go up and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Going Full Throttle With Notes!

                 After yesterday's adventure and passing out right after dinner just fueled the fire in me to get these notes done and I was up at 1130 pm got a pile of notes done but today and this week is about getting the notes finished. Larry doesn't know this but I pushed the recording up a bit and once I get a confirmation which I have mentioned Skype to discuss all of this and what we wanna do since I am still typing up notes at this point and really pushing to get them all finished and ready to record. Typing does take some time and days to a week at a time but soon as he gets them we are golden but I am going full throttle with the notes! I know it will be quite difficult with recording episode of the other episodes and it is going to be back and forth between that and the notes and it will be a bit of a pain in the butt to deal with but there is a fire lit under me to get these done!

                 I am firing under all cylinders and ready to go! The fact 32 episodes is not as many as we were doing but still a lot to do still regardless. Anyways I am so stoked and excited to be really pushing myself and getting these notes and I already restocked on the blue front cover for notes so I have enough for a while, like 500 sheets in the package so it is good that I am prepared for the future of collab podcasts with Larry and with other people as well, like I said I am firing on all cylinders and excited to just get them all done so I can finish the final episode for 2021 and we can have a clean slate in 2022 because I am OVER 2021! Like really! I am over this year, it's been a year from heck! I am just ready for a reset as this year I think we have recording more episodes then we have done in past years just trying to catch the heck up. No matter what happens, we end up having to push it up just hope we get RPM done that is my big problem, I need to really focus but it is hard but I am full speed ahead! Anyways that is my ramble post for the week and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Not In Any Rush To Going Back To Events

                       I know I have mentioned the steps and to be honest, I am in no rush whatsoever to get back to events. I know deep inside myself I wanna do it and return to a more normal routine with ChrisBOnTheWeb & ChrisBOnTheWeb.com. What I am trying to say, I could keep things as they are right now and the viewers would stay put as they are. The views would not change whatsoever probably increase in time when things are good enough for me to go to actual events and to bring content from outside the studio and when I gave you guys that stages list I really meant it that events would be the last thing I would go back to. I mean the local events in the area would be a start but I am in absolutely in no hurry to get back to events. Really things are doing just fine. I admit when I switched over from events to topics, it wasn't easy transition and had to change a lot, the scheduling and what not but I had to become a pro at all this change and very quickly. 

                    So what I am trying to say I am no hurry whatsoever to change back to the original format and is one of the reasons why you noticed the change recently with the scheduling starting today as this is the start of getting back to a new normal in our world as you know our world has changed drastically with this pandemic and now I have to have new protocols when it comes to not just the content and having Larry back but the events which has been a major factor in the site and the content and one day it will happen but I am going to take my time when it comes to going back to events but I assure you that day will come just not planning too far ahead, it will depend on number of cases and restrictions and when events do return as there is no real news on it yet and I continue to monitor things as the months go on. That is my post for today and enjoy rest of your day and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Final Blog Schedule Changes Starting Next Week!

              I wasn't going to talk about this till layer when things get back to a normal but let me tell you so you know ahead of time how the blog schedule will look like. I may as well get you guys all prepared for when things get more back to a new normal. Anyways you guys know the schedule going on right now with the content and I know I have addressed the issue of how will I fit in the schedule and it was a tough one to come across and a lot of moving parts to make it work out but here is the timetable looks like:

Monday's: Regular Topic, however if I do go to an event over the weekend, I will be covering it on the Monday.

Tuesday's: Regular Topic

Wednesday's: Regular Topic

Thursday's: Regular Topic

Friday's:  Weight Loss Update (Every second Friday)

Saturday's: Weekly Updates- Instead of Monday Weekly Updates, I am moving it to Saturday's at the end of the week!

                    There is the schedule and yes Sunday's I am off from the blog and I think this actually resolves the no content on Saturdays and fills in some gaps in the schedule. While writing this podcast for today, I have decided starting Monday, I will start this new timetable immediately and for the meantime, I will just do a regular topic for you guys so starting Monday we go into the new timetable and we have by now probably changed the schedule here on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com. That is today's post and I will talk to you all Monday on a brand new schedule and think this new schedule will work better for me and will be the last change in schedule from here. So have a great weekend and I will talk to you all Monday!

You Can Expect Entertainment Man Podcast To Stick Around A While!

                 As I probably have mentioned on social media, I have been plugging away with new ideas for Entertainment Man Podcast and it has been quite a journey for this podcast and I can say this-- I am planning way ahead and if I have enough ideas, I could possibly seeing this podcast running beyond next year but I am thinking way ahead of myself but it is no secret that I am planning to actually go beyond 2022 and already getting ideas and the more I talk to you all or even my own Alum the more ideas you guys seem to spark with me with this podcast. I am just so excited this can be running into a 3rd year and I never thought it'd last this long. Originally I thought from the start this was only temporary but boy I was wrong! I am not putting down this podcast, I mean I thought this was only going to last a year or two then onto another bigger and better project but hey it's here for a long run right now. Especially with the recent news of breaking just over 100 listens. Finally getting noticed now and that is what matters!

                I definitely wanna continue this project as it has seen a ton of traction and when I wrote this yesterday morning nearly at 1 am EST I was like whoa what the heck.... The most recent episode blew up and I mean it is actually doing super well and really well what I originally though but either way I want this podcast to be around for years to come! I do not wanna see this podcast come off the air any time soon. Plenty more to come that is for sure! I want it here to stay and I wish I did this sooner, I should of stopped after Survivor 39 and just done it in January, I could imagine how well it has been done! Either way I am rambling cause I am just excited to see such an amazing podcast do so well. Anyways that is my post for today and hope you guys enjoyed this post and I will talk to you guys tomorrow!

First Time On The Bus Route That Goes In and Out of My Area!

                 Yesterday, I got to go on the bus and I mean we went on the bus. My mom dropped me off at the mall, I dropped into Staples briefly and met up with Eric for our adventure yesterday. We took the route we already knew about first and we stayed on and passed by where I live and also the CBOTW Studio is also is as well. We went passed there and went into the South side and we ended up practically back at the mall but we actually we're few blocks away as we grabbed a drink and we sat in a parkette for about hour and a half, 2 hours and we had to stop by his place for a few mins and I got to see the apartment since it was a little over an year since I was there and it looked different compare to the last time and felt good to be back there actually and hopefully it can be a thing where I can go over there to visit masked till we are told we can not have masks inside on.  

                 Anyways back to what I was saying, we headed back out on the bus and grabbed the 902B route which turned into my bus that goes back into my area and we asked the bus driver if it does so we lucked in and figured it out on our own without having to call Customer Service but I did email them anyways about my pass stuff and they were very helpful compare to last week when I got a little pissy with the customer service for the on demand but that is now ancient history for me now. I got back in time to talk to Larry which he was only on Monday and yesterday as he has a busy week but good to hear from him. I was exhausted from this trip as it was really the first long bus trip in about a year and a half now. I enjoyed myself and next week I will be more then likely on another adventure and more then likely another post about my adventures on the bus again and maybe this can be a thing almost every week. Anyways I hope you guys enjoyed this post and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

The Binding of Isaac Re-Birth & Minecraft Updates!

                 On The Binding of Isaac Rebirth or Afterbirth not sure which version of the game but I have beaten the ones where the bombs are the only thing you get and I beat that after a few tries and I officially beaten that one officially. Was pretty easy as I am an expert at those kind of challenges on the video game. I forget what it was called on the vanilla Isaac it could of been of been Dr. Fetus that could of been it but its been ages since I played vanilla Isaac since I supposedly beaten it I do not know why but it says I 100% the game and I didn't technically beat it physically and I just do not know how that is mathematically possible but the game must of glitched up at some point but it is really that odd. I am doing another challenge with explosive shots  and gotten close to the end of the game with beating mom's heart but ended up so close at the end and almost got it but it's the fact it tries and bounces back at me that doesn't help whatsoever. 

                 Now onto Minecraft. It is now an end of an era for my house on the main hub as now I have boarded up all my windows on the house and took down all the torches off so it is now pure darkness and the villagers are actually in there still and unable to see and my niece and nephew are going to wonder why the heck my house is all boarded up and abandoned all of a sudden and I will explain. I think I have exhausted everything below the house where the caves I have search and dug caves everywhere and it is time to move on and move to other location down one of the spur lines of the railway and got a new home and place to explore and see other parts of this world. The farm itself I have removed all crops and taken em with me along with food that was left over and some weapons and tools to help me out as I am practically starting from scratch. However it looks weird looking at my house with boarded up windows now as I am now living in a smaller place away from the villagers. I will be back to look in at the main outer part and also to access the office building etc. I am not going to be a stranger but there is so much you can do in a world as you will run out of ideas eventually. That is my updates, hope you enjoyed this, I try and do this every 2 or 3 weeks at the most depending how far I get in a game. I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Weekly Updates [09-06-2021]

             Another week is here and it is time for the first update in 4 - 5 months and I am happy to have this back in the rotation of posts and I know this don't make a lot of room for other topics and this kind of does spark posts 6 or 7 days a week but maybe something to consider for the future but here are the updates:

Everything About Reality TV Podcast Archive: As you know Everything About Reality TV has been off air over a year now and has not returned under that name and has been archived on the website and we overhauled the menu bar since then. As you all know we have an archives page where we have images from the Podcast that has happened in the past and by clicking on it takes you to the archives. Anyways I will cut to the chase Jim and I have to update the font color and size code so it is the same coding across the website entirely. We will be beginning this once I complete, Mystic Force, Operation Overdrive and Jungle Fury Notes and send them off to Larry in the mail.

Website: I think Jim and I are done with adding in new features to the website and have no plans to add anything else in the very nearby future but we are happy with the website's current configuration and it has proved to be successful which is good. 

Blogs: I know with the addition of this weekly post this doesn't leave much room for topics and maybe with the popularity of posts it is time to go back into more posts like talking Sundays through Fridays with Saturdays off or back to the 7 days a week again, that is hard decision to make right now but I am keeping to the 5 days a week for now up to the point of events getting back to maybe 6 posts a week on weeks events but something to talk about down the road. 

Power Rangers Collab: I am officially now working on typing up notes as I have completed watching Jungle Fury and I am moving into typing up the notes and hopefully can get it done in a week or two from now and I can get em shipped out to Larry so we can get recording episodes. I will let you guys know when I start RPM, it will not be for a little while.

                 Anyways that is my updates for the week and not much for updates and we will see what this week brings with content. I will be keeping you guys up to speed on things and excited for this week and what it brings for me. Until tomorrow, have a great rest of your day everyone!

Stages For ChrisBOnTheWeb Getting Back To A New Normal

                I know I spoke about this before but things have progressed, changed since then, especially after talking to The Video Projects Team Alum, Eric about Larry's return to the studio and me seeing him again sparked some inspiration for this podcast. I thank him for this inspiration. So as the title says there are stages for getting back to what will be a new normal after all of this but here are the stages:

Stage 1- Go to some gatherings here and there: As you guys know, I have actually gone to a soft opening of Halton County Radial Museum and we are planning to return for Streetcar rides again this fall I am sure. Also South Simcoe Railway is on the list there and Silent Lake Fall colors as well so smaller things like that is a start for getting back into a new normal.

Stage 2- Getting my Co-Host back into Studio: Stage 2 is indeed getting my Co-Host, Larry back into the studio but right now that is not the case of it happening with cases back on the rise but we are still aiming for February 2022 when him and I head into Samurai and Super Samurai early next year but I am working on preparing for that talk with him eventually. 

Stage 3- Local Events: This is the next phase is me returning to local events and there is only a few events locally I'd go to and I have mentioned it on a post before but this is the second last stage before the 4th and final stage.

Stage 4- Return of All Events: This is the final stage and it is the return of all the events but that is a long road for this to happen and I do not think I will be on Stages 2, 3 & 4 for quite some time but will be excited when I hit this phase!

                 Now the phase I am on right now is Phase 1 with the small things right now and I am not looking into Phases 2 and on right now but eventually it will happen just not right now. My ultimate goal is to get to Stage 2 by next year but cases have to go down first before Larry gets back into the studio again and like I said cases down. Anyways that is today's post, hope you all have a wonderful long weekend and I will be back Labour Day Monday for the update blog.

2 More Things On My Bucket List for Tobermory I'd Like To Do!

                  There are two more things I'd like to do in Tobermory are things I have not yet done with the trip and I took my time to write because I do not remember what the second but writing this part I just jogged my memory so without further ado here is my list of 2 things I'd like to do before possibly wrapping up going up there as I am running out of things to see and do but will always cherish the memories that's for sure but here is my list:

1) Fall Cruise on the M.S. Chi-Cheemaun: Hopefully if things get better soon, I'd like to do the Fall cruise from Tobermory to Owen Sound when the ferry goes back to it's winter birth for the winter time while we have the white stuff on the ground and would be neat to see it in the winter but we do not live anywhere near Owen Sound. 

2) Cruise Around The Islands: There is a 2 hour cruise I'd love to take around the islands on the Great Blue Heron and that is a big big if as of right now we're still in a pandemic right now and nowhere near close to being able to do a lot of normal things right now and probably isn't the right time to be traveling or going on a vacation but it is on my bucket list and my dad's not getting younger it may not happen but least it is on my list either way.

                      There are my 2 things left and I am sure by the time this happens and if I get to do both especially the 2nd one definitely make a visit to the Norisle up there if it is still sitting in the one part of the shores of Manitoulin Island or South Baymouth. but hopefully I can do both but if I had to chose one it would be the Fall Cruise but we'll see and maybe we'll get a chance to do both but this pandemic has to end or it will not happen and my goals will be gone but who knows I have to remain positive. Until tomorrow's blog post have a good rest of your Thursday!

Excited To Have a Bus In My Area Again!

                  I am excited, I am ecstatic to have a bus back in my area and it isn't my first bus in a year as Monday, I took the bus partially home then got a ride from close in since the bus isn't running but it is what it is and I decided to try the On Demand and I am writing these posts ahead of schedule so I have em out as I am a very busy person and hard to track down with my busy, busy schedule with working on trying to catch up on a lot of work. However that is besides the point as this is all starting next week on Tuesday and I will be talking about it Wednesday next week but either way I am booked up all of next week in topics which is amazing. I haven't been on a bus in a year which is a long time and usually for those who know me extremely well, I am a bus enthusiast and rely on it for travel and I haven't travelled on it for a long time and this week was the first time on a bus heading home unless by the time you see this post, I chickened out completely but more then likely took it anyways. 

                 However since the route actually existed it will not be taking the normal route it takes as it is servicing the south end a but and my end going to the mall so it will be different in a route and will be definitely interesting to travel on and this is why next week I will be reviewing the new route. Because after the experience I had this week with the On Demand bus and getting a bus back to my own end and they weren't listening to me on the phone which didn't end well, I hung up and blocked the number. We got to our cross over to find out there is no On Demand Bus whatsoever intersecting the normal route to the On Demand back to my area which really isn't a long ride but it is stupid the way they have it. Anyways I emailed them and said show this to your supervisor or manager or whatever, that I am not pleased one bit. I will not post the screenshot as it has intersecting roads and not about to give out my location on my my own website. I will be using the main bus that is returning to service finally with the modified changes but that's OK it beats the issues I had this week with that service and I am excited to get back on that route next week!
