Well, you opened 2gate vs. the zerg's 12hatch, and so you started off at a disadvantage, especially since you two were cross positioned. You further solidified your disadvantage by not inflicting any sort of damage to the zerg. Just 5 minutes into the game you were quite behind, and there hasn't even been any sort of combat. It just makes no sense for a protoss to 2gate and just let his zealots sit around doing nothing. If you 2gate, you have to press into the zerg. A decent zerg will repel a 2gate with a 12hatch, but you can gain an advantage or just outright kill the zerg if he micros poorly or makes some bad decisions.

Why did you build cannons where you did at the nat? The placement makes NO sense.

I'm just not going to finish watching the replay. Besides the simple and easy answer and excuse of "need to macro better", you need to understand opening builds, which you don't. It wouldn't be an overstatement to say that you already lost the game 4 minutes in.
