Number 3 is now official. We are now in a recession. The market fell about 370 points on the report. How sad. We all going to die.

While this is true, it has nothing to do with the markets. :wink:

Number 8 and 9 are looking likely. Gas in some areas like California is already $4 a gallon! Oil hit $104.50 today and its on its way up to $110! I had a weird dream that in my area (washington state) diesel will hit $4.29 a gallon! There is a station in my area that is charging $3.94 a gallon for diesel! Bush will continue to say, "the gas prices are cheap, the economy is strong, and there's peace in Iraq." Man is he funny! I love him! I am going to miss his humor. I think he is delusional. I think he needs anti-psychotic pills like I take. I will give him mine. That is all.

I will:
Apply to university (Cambridge and Loughborough are the 2 I will definitely apply for).
Turn 17 in November and start having driving lessons.
Be in either the best or worst position of my life this year.
Begin my second year of college and start doing A2-level courses.

Everytime he says things are positive i get a flashback to the movie "Eric the viking"..where a king is sinking on his island and saying:(nope)"not happening".


1) We will all get issued our national ID cards(and the people will think it's a great idea.)
2) There will be another "attack".
3) Bush may then utilize martial law and remain in office.
4) If 3) doesn't occur it will be because he already attacked Iran anyway.

..yea yea.. i know..i'm paranoid.. 8O

i just want to say that absolutely none of these predictions are serious. in fact, some of them are quite silly. so with that being said let's get rolling.

- Ron Paul gets taken down by British Secret Service for brandishing a gun when the King of England tried to get in his face.

- John McCain, despite his age, performs lightning quick CQC moves on a lobbyist who surprised him at a campaign stop. He gains a slight advantage in the polls when the American people realize he's someone "not to f**k with".

- Finding that fewer of his claims are being taken seriously and that no more of his policies are being passed through Congress, George W. Bush threatens to run away from home on his bicycle before circling the block and making it back in time for dinner.

- Hilary Clinton continues to register shock that the American people aren't getting behind her and are continuing to support Barack Obama. "It's like these people expect you to listen to them and help them with their problems. What BS!" she says.

- Just as gas prices cross over into $5 a gallon a benevolent trillionaire scientist provides the world with Jetsons-style flying cars that run on dreams and puppy dog farts, so everything works out (expect for the population of puppy dogs which dies from searing gas pain from all the chili they have to eat).

- The problem of how to bring the troops home from Iraq is finally solved when the troops simply just sneak out during the night after the Iraqi government has fallen asleep.

- The Fox News channel finally stops beating around the bush and starts using hardcore racial slurs to refer to the left and various minorities. But nobody cares anymore and rather than losing all their jobs people just stop watching and their ratings plummet.

- and finally M. Night Shyamalan finally completes his first draft of the screenplay for "Avatar the Last Airbender" the movie. Details of the plot include Aang (played by Haley Joel Osment) realizing he was killed in the film's prologue and been dead this whole time. Also in a nod to the movie "Signs" Katara ends up fighting a horde of invading aliens with her water bending during the finale. Nickelodeon studios promptly pat him on the head before sending him on his way and reworking the script into something WATCHABLE.

18 and 19 is starting to be accurate. In fact, only one soldier died this month so far and it was an accident. And it has been 6 days into the month already. There have been rough days in the country with bombings, but not as many bombings as this time last year. There was one today but there hasn't been a big bombing in awhile. It is happening less and less. Man, am I the most accurate psychic on this planet! So far so many of my predictions have been reality. On some of the other forums that I post on, I am known as the Psycho Psychic. Oh, by the way oil hit another new record today of over $105 a barrel. Only $5 more to hit my $110 prediction!

We will get a new library in May.

I will be in Ohio for a week in June.

The Summer Olympics will begin on August 8, which is also Swiss tennis champion Roger Federer's birthday.

I will finish general chemistry, turn 23, last year the FASFA will mess me up, will hopefully find a job again, maybe figure out some cockatiel grammar, one of the rats will probably die of age, flies will come back this summer, my stepdad might get to be team lead, the computer from 1999 will finally die, and hopefully I'll lose some weight with the exercise program I'm doing now.

don't forget the rapture. for some reason the idea that'll happen no matter what year it is is VERY popular.

My view is a post-trib resurrection of the 'dead in Christ' and probably not occurring any time soon.

Yes, possibly wormwood and Israel have happened, but the timescale may be slower than thought before.
