Top 10 Predictions for 2010

In this crazy world I know longer try to make too many predictions but here are my top 10 predictions for 2010.  You be the judge as to how on target I am:

  1. A well know figure in the entertainment industry will die of a drug overdose.

  2. A conservative politician will get caught in a Sex Scandal and driven from office.

  3. A liberal politician will get caught in a Sex Scandal and will call it a lifestyle choice lowering the standards for all.

  4. A first round draft pick in a major sport will get a gazillion dollars and after tattooing a sponsors name on a certain part of his anatomy then proceed to fall on it.

  5. A new reality TV Show will come out bringing us to new lows in voyeurism.

  6. A new TV show will come out that is actually thought provoking, entertaining, and fit for the entire family.  The network will put it on at 2 am on Thursdays and cancel it after an 8 week run.

  7. I will buy a new state of the art cell phone and within 3 weeks Junior high kids will have a newer and better model than me.

  8. As state budgets get tighter they will only make cuts designed to hurt the public will continuing to fund stuff that only an idiot would pay for (Like taxpayers).  They will cut education budgets at the classroom level and then raise taxes claiming they are doing it to for the children.

  9. The World Series will get snowed out and finally conclude sometime in mid December.

  10. The most successful real estate agents will be those that blog on Active Rain.

Gene,

I usually get bored of all the countdowns and lists but this was entertaining and probably accurate.

Number 7 was hilarious, I thought it was just me. My 13 year old always teases that she is going to get me a "jitterbug" phone because I don't use my blackberry properly.

Hey Gene,

LOVE this post! My NY goal is to start posting more often. PS I am pretty sure we have some Riemenschneider's right around the corner here in Big Canoe in Georgia. Since it's not exactly "Smith" I thought I'd mention it. :)

I believe every one of these predictions, Gene, I think they happen every year, sometimes more than once...

While a couple of these might have yet to be proved, I think most of them are sadly dead on the mark.

I think most of them have happened every year since the 70's. I glad to see others think the way I do though. Of course my kids would say that is scary.
