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!!
Anyway congrats on the 1+1+1 + 999 + 999 + 999
