Saw this thread in another forum and just wondered what take I would get from people here.
Any doomsday projections? Election outcomes? Celebrity relationship breakups/makeups?.....
....Forum member breakups/makeups? (Seriously. I had no idea that was actually going on in here and kind of thought you guys were a little too weirded out for actual human contact for awhile.)
Sports team championship predictions?
Here's for me:
Doomsday: The world will not end, since I haven't yet gotten out of it what I want to get yet and its all about the home team which consists of me.
I kind of think something will happen on the scale of 'I have no idea', because so many people actually do expect something to happen. Seriously. People generally pretend as if they're not fazed by mass hysteria, but recall the big prediction by that infamous church pastor in (May?) 2011. Everyone at my job was kind of having fun with it, while halfway serious looking at the lock to strike 6PM. I guess I can't blame human nature, but...
Oh yeah, my point about this is that I kind of think someone out there will take advantage of this in some way. I've checked out a few conspiracy nut sites on this as well, but I don't wanna give those guys any credit whatsoever unless something does actually happen and then----I've got a few bookmarks on my laptop.
Doomsday #2: Economic collapse. This one, unfortunately, happens to be inevitable though no one really can certainly say when it will happen. The U.S. gov't can't really do anything else to fix our economic situation right now other than continue to borrow more money, and that will progressively make things worse when the proverbial turd does hit the fan. Ive spent most of my life ignoring financial education and have just recently (in terms of months) started to educate myself, but I have learned enough to know that rough times are coming very soon.
The silver lining in all of this, I think, is that the longer our gov't continues to borrow money, the more time people have to prepare for the fall of the dollar (Those that care to, anyway).
Election outcome: Ron Paul will win the 201--- nah.. just kidding.
Barry Obama will repeat as America's Top Politician champ, comfortably beating out Mitt Romney, as he is far too plastic-y and just gives you the feeling that he would do almost anything for the presidential nod. Anything.
In fairness, probably all of those other dudes would too.
I am kind of looking forward to back and forth quotes/soundbites from both candidates, because while fake as all California tits, that shit can get to be funny sometimes. Obama last election on H. Clinton:
"She is running around talking about how this is an insult to sportsman, how she values the second amendment. She's talking like she's Annie Oakley," Obama said, invoking the famed female sharpshooter immortalized in the musical "Anne Get Your Gun."
Obama continued, saying "Hillary Clinton is out there like she's on the duck blind every Sunday. She's packing a six-shooter. Come on, she knows better. That's some politics being played by Hillary Clinton."

Celebrity relationships: LeBron James will get married to his high school sweet heart. Someone will make a joke about how he finally gets a ring.
Someone already has made a joke about how he finally is getting a ring.
(Please tell me you guys know who LeBron James is.)
Kim Kardashian will ask me out on a date. We'll hook up, then get married after 5 weeks, then she'll break up with me once she learns my finanical aid contract isn't as lucrative as she thought it would be and I'm not actually going to Harvard, but probably only a Chicago University. She'll start a rumor that I'm gay, and all my coworkers will call me gay.
Sports team wins: I don't care about baseball (hope my gf doesn't read this, as she's a huge baseball fan. The sport sucks though, IMO. Not taking that back.)
GB Packers repeat as NFL champs.
Miami Heat wins the NBA championship, much to the breaking of mine own heart at my Bulls failing once again.
Forum relationships: I still have no idea what the hell is going on in here with all this recent messy stuff, but I hope some forum person thinks I'm hip enough to hit on me so we can have, like, chatbox sex, or something.
Resolutions: I'm going to, starting this week, complete all the problems in all of my math and science books sitting on the book shelves in my room.
I'm going to gain 30 lbs of muscle.
I'm going to buy my third car in either February or March. I won't be concurrently owning three, as I have since sold/scrapped the other two.
You don't have to answer for all, though it'd be more fun.
