Events For Remainder of 2022! [Changed]

           First of all Happy Halloween everyone! Now to the post: Cause of the new variant going around and that our current shots would not do anything with the new variant, I have made a decision that any of the Toronto events would be cancelled for this year and I am staying in my region only. After getting sick in August I am very leery about going back to Toronto again and who could honestly blame me to be quite honest, I rather stay here at this moment. My days going to Toronto may be lesser then I went. Now I'd go to the Island in the nicer weather, yes but anything indoors, no. 

              The only event that remains now on the schedule is Tyrone Parade of Lights which is still pending right now. No news as of yet whether it is going but the most part I will be home now and will be continuing on with content. Event portion of this year is pretty much a wrap for this year at the moment. Not sure what 2023 will bring whether I will indeed go back to Toronto for events even with a big crowds I just do not know what I will do. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow as always.

Change is Good!

          I know this year hasn't been the best year for this website, not meaning viewership but the drama the last 2 years has been unreal from being accused of being racist when it was false information given to just outright arguing and fighting non stop and being scammed out of 40 dollars for a product and not getting the product, nor a refund on the money but that is besides the point now. However it is time for some change. I have tried to get a podcast network running and doors are now opening as Jeff and Billy are both interested in doing a podcast on ChrisBOnTheWeb.

          This is why I have made the changes to ChrisBOnTheWeb.com two days ago. I will explain everything tomorrow in full explanation in the end of the week updates for you guys but this is the future of ChrisBOnTheWeb & CBOTW Studios. I mean this is huge and the reason I had to make the necessary changes for the future and even if it didn't happen then the menu will just remain the same as it is but makes it easier, especially for later when it's time for me to retire from ChrisBOnTheWeb and creating content for you guys but that will be a long, long way from that day actually happening. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Dealing With Stress

             Recently I have struggled with depression and stress and part of the depression is the stress I am going through with ChrisBOnTheWeb. I try to get the collab done in time for the 3rd but yet to really bury myself into the notes. I just did not have the time, was always busy with the interviews and one of the reasons I took some time off as I felt like I wasn't paying attention enough to the collab. Other reason was I needed some time to do more from the heart episodes but don't worry, I will be back to those by November 6th with scheduling them. I will be by then finished with the collab. I think it is more that I am not using very good time management skills right now and that is something I need to work on is my time management skills to ensure things do get done even if I was to do half on one the other half on another. 

            I have been struggling and been more in my moods lately and hasn't let up. Even on my meds for Autism it doesn't seem to have helped with my moods. I at times I end up just not functioning fully where I just wanna play video games and not work and that hasn't helped whatsoever with getting work. Been trying to motivate myself so I can get the work done and Saturday and Sunday showed it. Saturday I really tried up to late in the day I started to record and get things out. Sunday I charged hard at it and got 2 of the 3 podcasts done. Somewhere inside me  I really was trying my hardest to not let the stress and mental health get in my way. I have been fighting this for a while but not giving up. I will get all this content done and I will catch up. I know I can, just need to give some positive reinforcement with myself and I will get myself caught up cause I know I can do it. Anyways that is the post for today and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Green Bay Packers- Week 7

               All I can say is, I am not merely pleased with the Packers. As of a fan, I do feel like if they do not make the post season for the NFL, I can see a ton of changes being made in the off season. However this year, most of the problems was injuries that we had. Maybe it is time to make some change around.  Anyways the main problem this season is injuries. We have had a ton of them left and right and that doesn't help whatsoever with us winning games. Yeah I am disappointed by their performance. I am also frustrated Rodgers said he wanted to be traded off the team but ends up staying which confuses why he stayed and not pushed to be traded. Right now with all these injuries, we cannot do anything but play the game. Not an easy situation to be in, I know and disappointing to us fans.

             I still watch every week but at a point I am not going to pay attention to the game. Yeah the game was close and they had a lead this week but blew it.  They should of at least have won this game as the record for Washington was a but worse but I am just at this point beyond frustrated next weekend I may not watch the game and take a break but that isn't like me to do that I wanna stay loyal to the team through thick and thin of things. Maybe it is just time for the team to rebuild again, just have that very odd feeling right now. Anyways that is the post for today, not a professional blogger or sports writer but my thoughts on the game and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Entertainment Man Podcast In 2023, What I'm Thinking?

             I have considered a lot when it comes to next year however the channel itself on YouTube is too small right now to consider live. However here is what I am considering in 2023:

Interview Recording (Live): Will vary between late in Monday afternoon and Monday evenings - Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, anytime of the day morning, afternoon or evening. Wednesdays will be between 10 am EST  and 1 pm EST. Weekends, it will be quite difficult with weekends with Audio ONLY goes up on Sunday and the time frame of it being posted that is an issue and I'm sorry about that but I am not planning to change days I am planning to stay that way. 

Topic Podcasts (Sundays, Not Live, Pre-Recorded and Premiered): Now with topics that are going to happen from time to time and I wanna keep the momentum going and the more it's premiered the more listens and listeners that I get on each and every premiere. Not only that it's about the interaction and I've had a ton of interactions since doing premieres but when it comes to holidays and personal stuff I will be just posting it but that will be here and there, most of the time it will be premiered unless I am unavailable on the Sunday. 

Bonus Episodes (Thursdays, Pre-Recorded, Audio ONLY): This will not be changing whatsoever with the time and day on Thursdays @ 1 pm EST. However I am extending the podcast to 15 minutes as you guys have said it is too short so I am actually extending it. Anything you guys want you get. 

             This is a very huge move for the podcast and I am excited for the future of this podcast, more like I am excited for next year being the 3rd year and 4th season. It is truly amazing how far this podcast has come. I know I am doing this earlier then usual but I have chosen to announce it sooner then I expected but I was excited to announce this incredible changes for next year! Time to go big or go home right? Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow!

End of The Week Updates [10-21-2022]

             Another week has gone by and time for some updates. As most of you know, we have lost Alexandra recently and been quiet about her passing away, just wanted to deal with the loss on my own personal time. Sophie has joined the team prior to Alexandra passing away as Lead Moderator and Jeff has become a part of the Management Staff helping me and advising me through everything moving forward and so far has done an amazing job. I will always remember Alexandra's hard work she put into CBOTW. R.I.P. Alexandra. Now to the updates:

Website: Obviously the team page had to be updated with everyone's role on the team changing or re-adjusted. Also the event page has been updated and I have ruled out that I will not be comfortable going to Toronto for The Royal Winter Fair and have removed it completely off the page. Any event beyond November 9th is up in the air as my mom is going in for Surgery on November 10th. 

Power Rangers Collab: After a very long struggle with the podcast, Larry and I will be returning to recording as of Thursday, November 3rd, 2022 for Megaforce and Super Megaforce and this should help get us back on the right track with it finally. December's final recording session for 2022, may be in the studio but it may end up via Skype, depending how my mom is doing a month into recovery from knee surgery.

8th Anniversary: Now this has been weighing on my mind lately with COVID-19 cases have been up and down like no tomorrow and threats of a mask mandate returning but we are planning a small gathering with Larry and I. I do not feel comfortable trying to get Eric, Justin and Larry, not yet. Maybe for the 10th anniversary in 2024 perhaps.

              Anyways that is the post for today and the week, have a great weekend and as always I will be talking to you guys on Monday and hopefully I will have a full update on the progress on the collab as I plan on working on it this weekend so I can get to the next phase but talk to you all Monday.

Cobs Bread- Mini Pizza Food Review

                After the event and arriving back to where the car was, my dad and I checked out Cobs Bread in Courtice and we got ourselves a mini Pizza and it was really, really good. I got myself a Hawaiian slice and was really good and filling mind you as Pizza should be as it is also hearty and comfort food and after the week I had last week, I really needed it as my emotions and stress levels have been extremely high so it was nice to actually try it and I'd try some of the other goodies they have there as well. It is worth the visit to Cobs Bread. I'd give it a definite 10 out of 10 and it is a nice little out of the way place and looked very popular place. 

                 I was quite impressed with the place soon as I got in we got greeted but their amazing staff.  I definitely will be back in the very nearby future with my dad because it was just a very nice place to go to and have to support the local businesses out there and it helps them out as well. Anyways that is my little review on Cobs Bread- Mini Pizza review. I will talk to you guys tomorrow for the end of the week updates and I will have a ton of updates for you guys as I do have some sad news to tell you but I will talk to you all then.

Things Are Changing Temporarily in November/December!

               With my mom getting surgery on her knee, I am going to be at home a lot more but have come up with a schedule that would work, every 2nd week with Eric at the most unless things change every other week with Terry. Now Larry right now we see each other on a monthly basis for right now and I know it was cause I am leary of having friends here right now especially after getting sick in August and it wasn't any of my friends that got me sick, was my own stupidity but I just wanna be cautious seeing friends again. 

            What about the collab you may ask? Well Larry and I are going to try and record in studio. Even if we have to we can record via Skype if I am just not able to see him in person and have him over. Skype is always an option for us if worse comes to worse when it comes to taking care of my mom. She has the number 1 priority first before anything else. This also goes for local events both here and in Toronto, I am leaving it up in the air for right now the calendar will remain as it is right now. If I get to go, I get to go and that is all there is to it.  It is the best decision for ChrisBOnTheWeb and any announcements will be made on social media. Now I will not be covering Royal Winter Fair this year as I was a little late to the game for a Media Pass but maybe next year for sure. Anyways those are the changes, thanks for reading today's post and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Subway- Maplewood Smoked Bacon & Ham Review

             Today is the first of 2 food reviews this week. I was almost a week ago at Subway which I haven't had the best experience at another store in the past but this one was just amazing experience. Customer service was most definitely better then the other store and sometimes this happens. Anyways that is besides the point about my past experience but this time I had Maplewood Bacon, Ham sub. It was the best and I honestly starting to think this is my new favourite sub even if it is only there for a very limited time but it was really good with bacon in it. Yeah I know bacon and ham come from the same animal but still, I thought ham and bacon together would of not been a great combination but it was! I enjoyed it and didn't last long as I ate every last bite of it. lol.

             So I would give this a definitely 10 out of 10 all day long. Was the best sub I've had in a very long time. Soon as I saw it, I'm like yeah I'm going to try something new and there is one other sandwich I'd like to try and it was  that chicken sandwich which is new as well so something to really think about and try the next time I am out with friends. However things are changing here in the studio for the months of November and December and I will be doing a post about it tomorrow so until thank thanks for reading my little review and let me know in the comments if you'd like to see more of these and I have another one on Thursday but I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Apple Festival 2022

             Back on the weekend, I got to go to the Apple Festival with my dad as it is an tradition for us to do that year after year. There was a ton of people there and glad to see how busy the event was especially being back after 3 years of no events and I honestly do not remember if they did one last year at this time and I do not think they did. A lot of vendors there, we tried this really awesome Cookie, my dad had the vanilla flavor meanwhile I tried the Pumpkin Spiced flavor. Was really good that we bought 3 boxes of them as a treat for all of us to have. Was really good trying these cookies. I wasn't sure I was going to like them.

               A lot of campaigns for the upcoming elections were there to getting people's vote and someone that is running for Mayor which my dad knew him as he played hockey with them. Also the Member of Parliament. It was nice to see the politicians there to represent the community at these kind of events.  Was a great event and nice that we took the bus into Bowmanville for this this event. Anyways that is my post for today and small note we made a side trip by car to the lake to see the ship that was down there as we think it was leaving but it wasn't when I wrote this yesterday. I will talk to you all tomorrow for another post.
