February will have 29 days, and Sadie Hawkins day will be...woops...missed that one
Easter will be the earliest date this century (and a goodly portion of the next)
There will be an Olympics in China
a politician will say something stupid
George Bush will be the 1st president to beat the Cherokee curse
There will be too many political ads on this Fall
Star Trek 11 will be pushed back to May of '09 (oh, wait...missed that one too..;)
millions of people will be born, millions will die, and millions more get married; except for the ones that got divorced.
Gas prices will go up; except when they go down. Same for the Dow Jones.
Some famous person you never heard of will die, followed quickly by 2 more (they die in 3s, y'know..;)

Oil hit $110 during trading today and some gas stations are charging over $4.00 for diesel now. How sad. And in California there are some areas with $4 gas already. Score another one for the Almighty Psycho Psychic!

Death, destruction, civil war, famine, plague, nuclear holocaust.

The usual.


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






Just an FYI here...That idea originated from the scofield bible...more specifically its footnotes.

Oil hit $112 during trading today. There is a station in my area that IS charging $4.29 a gallon now. Just like my dream. Also, another report came out today about us being in a recession. Neat. I predict that Bush is the smartest man known to mankind!! He has an IQ of 98593 and is smarter than me. I predict when I take another IQ test, I will have the world's lowest IQ at -50. Boy I should join Mensa now! I predict that sometime this year, I will have over 200 posts. Remember when I said I will go psycho as one of my predictions? Well that has happened as well. I had to go to the hospital on my birthday and it wasn't a good experience.

There was a new unemployment rate released today and it was 6.1%, the highest in 5 years. When I wrote that prediction, it was arond 4.9% or lower. I was right about the Iraq war calming down significantly, in July only 13 soldiers died and probably most of those were accidents. If you look, most of the months were what I said if you just use the combat deaths. Yes, gas hit way over $4 nationwide, and some hit $5. So, I am accurate in predicting stuff. My newest predictions, gas falls quickly into the fall hitting around $3.20 by the end of October. Oil falls to below $100 soon as well, maybe falling below $80 before the end of the year. If a Republican takes office, oil hits $200 a barrel next year. If a Democrat, it will be down to $50 a barrel next year. Iraq will continue to get better and next year it will even be calmer and troops will start coming home. Soon the Iraqi people will be able to control their own country. So, I stick to my prediction of unemployment hitting 6.5% by the end of this year. Just remember, the economy is strong!

Just because less american soldiers died that doesn't mean the war is calming down.. politicians say the war should continue for 100 years, and it's probably how long it wil last.. this is only the beggining.

Oil hit $100 in trading today. I am very accurate in predicting stuff. Oil will fall even more and like I said in the last post, to $80 a barrel. I knew when it would go up and when it would go down. I'm a Psycho Psychic!! !! !! !! !! !

So when do you think the economy is going to turn around. Optimists are saying December. I'm thinking more like Spring.

I predict that Barak Obama will win the Democratic Nomination for President.

I also predict the Boston Celtics will win their 17th NBA World Championship.
