The title is a Xin Zhao reference k?


So this is my 3000th post. Man, it seems like only a few months ago that I had 2k posts (even though it was May when I hit 2k). A week or two ago I asked the TL community what I should do to celebrate my 3000th post. Some said things that were pretty stupid, but a few had a good idea or two. I have decided that for my 3k post blog, I will do three things (three thousand posts, makes sense right?) that were mentioned in the thread.

1.Blog about my future and my plans for the next 5 years or so.

2.Have a Q&A Session with the users of TL, let them ask me various questions about whatever

3.Stream one of (Need for Speed Most wanted, Tetris, SC2, LoL) for 3 hours OR Upload 3 youtube videos (Will depend on if my stream get laggy or not).

Originally I was going to stream for 24 hours, but two things got in the way of that plan. My brother and my schoolwork. I decided to tone it down to 3 hours (or 3 videos), as that can be done in a reasonable amount of time and leave me open for whatever else I needed to do.
The other two things I will be doing were suggestions from some of the members of TL. GMarshal suggested that I blog about my future (after seeing I blogged about the past and present), and Mr. Wiggles suggested that I do a Q&A Session (although in his suggestion there was also alcohol/drugs)

I want to thank these two for giving me great ideas for my blog.
Without further walls of text..

First up is the Blog part.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1. The Next 5 Years
So I am currently in my 5th year of Highschool. It is an optional year for most, and it should have been for me too. I was just too lazy to get my 40 community hours for the diploma. I already have my post-secondary mostly planned, all that's left for me to do is actually go do it after graduating. I will be applying to either Niagara College or Mohawk College (Both in Southern Ontario) for courses along the lines of Architecture, Robotics and Video Game Design (if all else fails). I had also been considering Sheridan College, but I checked again this year and they don't have anything in the architecture section.
I've checked most of the pre-required courses for each of these I am entering, and as far as I've seen I have what I need and then some. College English, Check. College Math, Check (I took university math, but still got above 80). Physics reccomended, Check. I have also taken tech design courses, robotics courses, com-tech and some other courses like chemistry just to cover my ass. As long as I can get my shit together on time, I should have very little problem with my transition from Secondary to Post-Secondary.

After College, things will completely depend on what I go for. I already have multiple architecture/drafting companies on my list (I even had a co-op placement at one last year), and even if the 4-5 Firms I know decline me, there are plenty in the area that I haven't looked at yet. If I go into robotics or Video game Design however, I will actually have to look around for where to work. I have not looked in to either of these options post-post-secondary. If I know I am going to get into one of the College courses that is not Architecture, thats when I will start looking for where I could work after college.

After that, there is just too many variables to tell what will happen. If I could predict the future, maybe I would write more here, but we will see what comes up when it does.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


2. The Q&A
This is your chance, TL, to ask me pretty much anything. Basically the rules will be no extremely NSFW stuff, nothing about religion, and nothing illegal. I will just ignore any questions that fall under these categories. Just post a reply to my blog, asking whatever various questions you want. I will answer all of them (if not most) tommorow (Sunday the 16th) between 12 and 1pm EST. That is 1-2AM KST.

I will just answer a few basic questions here in the OP, because chances are they will be asked eventually.

My real name is Zach.
I don't own/drive a 1957 Corvette (yet)
I am 18, and Live in Ontario (if you have seen my other blogs, you might know what city)
Favourite food is a tie between Spaghetti&Meatballs and Pepperoni/Bacon Pizza.
I prefer Coca-Cola over Pepsi, but If there is no Coke left I don't mind drinking Pepsi

So tommorow I will read through the replies to this thread, and answer as much as I can. After the Q&A, I get to my third event.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


3. 3 Hours of Streaming/3 Videos

(This will take place between 1 and 4pm EST on Sunday the 16th)

The reason there is two options here is because the computer I am on simply sucks. For the past couple weeks or so I have had a lot of trouble streaming because of lag. I don't know if it is the fault of the computer, Xsplit or Livestream, but something is causing a ton of lag.
For this segment I will either be streaming 3 hours of me playing video games (SC2, Minecraft, LoL, NFS Most Wanted), or me making and uploading 3 videos to my youtube channel.(www.youtube.com/Hiicantpk).
If the streaming happens, I will most likely be streaming NFS Most wanted, playing through the start of the career. Other games will just be misc playing with no real goals.
If the Videos happen, I will record three different games (Minecraft and two others out of the three listed) and upload them all to youtube. I will post the videos in this thread for everyone to watch and enjoy, and if people really like them they can comment/subscribe/like/favourite.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
















Thanks for reading my 3k post blog, and lets get the questions ROLLING IN!!

Honestly, I don't know. I don't post a lot in LR threads, nor so i like to argue with people for pages and pages. I guess they just built up over time discussing LoL/Whatever. I only post 6-7 times a day usually, so meh.

Favourite Movie is a Tie between Star wars Episode 4: A New Hope and Law Abiding Citizen
Favourite Album (CD) is Red White and Crue (Motley Crue). Pretty much all of their songs that I like, plus a few covers like Helter Skelter and Anarchy in the UK.
Favourite Book is "I am the Messenger" by Markus Zusak.

I used to play BW, but I was horrible. I play SC2 occasionally, but it is usually with friends or on custom maps.

Eminence Front. I know my signature has a quote from Baba O'riley, but listening to Eminence Front while just walking around makes me feel like a baller.

If DTs want to get anywhere near my HT they will have to walk through storms of electricity first!

I never really thought about this one. There are plenty of posters that I admire, but I never really asked myself what my favourite was. It would be hard to pick with all the great people on TL like Chill, Kennigit, TDL, Probe1, etc.

I'l still be taking questions until i sleep tonight, so keep on asking!
Unfortunately my stream is still way too laggy to stream, so I will be putting out three youtube videos tonight (I upload them overnight so It doesn't take all the badwith when I am awake)
