Oh, I just hope I don't face my first midlife crisis when I turn 30.


I'm with you on that

After a surprising set of events, George W. Bush wins American Idol 2010

This is not so much a 2010 year-specific prediction, moreso about the future years in general. Some of these may sound crazy to some, but I don't think the scenarios are extremely hard to believe.

-Obama WILL be re-elected in 2012, by a fairly narrow margin. However, he will go down as an average president.
-American Idol will continue through the 2010s, though with lower ratings and less popularity.
-The Office will end some time around 2013-2015.
-The Yankees will fail to reclaim the championship in 2010, though possibly in the few years following.
-Alexander Ovechkin will be universally considered the best player in the NHL, ending any debate over him, Crosby, or Malkin.
-Lebron James will go to the Lakers, where he will win a championship in 2012.
-The 00s movie trends of trilogies, sequals, remakes, superhero films, and Judd Apatow-esque comedies will give way to new styles. Also, ticket prices will fall.
-Artists such as the Black Eyed Peas, Kelly Clarkson, Kanye West, Britney Spears, Beyonce, and Justin Timberlake will remain popular until around 2015.
-Artists such as Rihanna, Lil Wayne, T-Pain, Taylor Swift, Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, The Fray, and Shakira will remain popular until around 2012 or 2013.
-The current popular hairstyles (specifically those flat, curvey, Emo-ish, Rihanna-esque, faded bang type of look for women) will remain popular until the mid-2010s.

Now here's the big stuff:

-The economy will improve steadily in the early 10s, yet will not reach pre-2007 levels.
-Iraq's exit dates will be predictably delayed for whatever reasons, perhaps another 3 months.
-US troops will all be withdrawn from the Middle East by the end of 2011. The surge in Afghanistan will be relatively effective yet the quagmire situation will more or less remain. The future of the War on Terror will be fought by the CIA, etc. This will mark somewhat of an end of an era.
-China will continue to grow immensely. Iran will continue to suppress and grow as well. Iran will become extremely greedy and hungry for more power and build more nukes and invade weak neighboring countries. However, Israel will not be wiped off the face of the Earth.
-Climate regulation bills will continue to be ignored, and those who care will become extremely concerned by the late 2010s, some will become forcefull.
-By the decade's end, almost all US states will recognize civil unions or gay marriage. Soon, the debate will become front headlines, and reach 1950s levels that the previous Civil Rights Movement did.
-Also by the decade's end, the issue of marijuana legalization will become a front-page debate, much bigger than now.
-The need for oil will continue to increase and the supply will drastically decrease. Countries will get violent.


Basically, by the 2020s all hell is going to break lose. A huge war will be fought between China, Iran, the US, maybe Russia. Causes will include oil, nuclear weapons, and ferocious expansion (on China and Iran's part). However, the War on Terror will become relatively obsolete.

Quite cheerful  :). Just my guesses, I suppose...

Wall Street bank bailouts turn out to be the biggest fleece in human history and now the banks are broke again and tell us we'll go into a world depression a zillion times worse than 1933 if they don't get a bajillion thrillion dollars in the five minutes.  Obama gives it to them with complimentary Hawaiian fruit baskets and the bankers clog up every toilet in Manhattan flushing the stuff down the terlets while tossing pineapples at passersby from the 24th floor.

Furthermore, Joe Lieberman and Ben Nelson work out a deal with the insurance companies whereby they can't kick in your front door and shoot you dead if you send them your entire paycheck plus interest every month and your 14-year-old daughter's cherry.

::)

A new top four in the English Premier League, Liverpool will miss out

Spurs to win the English Premier League

A few more 00ze members' headz will a splode and they will delete their accountz :D

Hip hop will continue its reign next decade.

I think things that started in the 00's or originated in it (Iraq War, terrorism) will peak next decade sadly.

Overall I don't think the 2010's will be any better than the 00's.

It will be revealed that the economy is not recovering as fast as people think and the recession continues. That's another prediction!

Madonna will marry Soccer superstar Diego Maradona and will be known and Madonna Maradona.  :D

I think the new decade holds a lot. Obama's presidency revs up into overdrive! I move into a college apartment!

Madonna will marry Soccer superstar Diego Maradona and will be known and Madonna Maradona.  :D

Thus far...I'm kinda right with the Republicans getting back into power with a win for Brown in the Senate Seat.

Hardly. The Dems went from a 60-40 lead to a 59-41 lead. I don't see how that equals getting back in power.

- The 2010 Winter Olympics will see Holland win 5 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze medals. This includes one gold for Marianne Timmer in her final appearance, and a surprise bronze for the four men bob.



I wasn't even that far off... We won 4 gold, 1 silver and 3 bronze. That's also 8 medals in total. No gold for Marianne Timmer (she wasn't even there) and no bronze for the bobsleigh team (who were there, but didn't run in the end).

some celebrity who every knows is gay will "come out!" eg...P!nk and Asher Roth

nice one Ricky!  ;D

-Lebron James will go to the Lakers, where he will win a championship in 2012.

And Frank is an optimist!

To finally get my promotion I deserve.

I think that later in the 2010's we will have to face peak oil, this might have quite a dramatic impact in a very short time. We will all have to change our life styles with the end of cheap oil, and to tell the truth most people are unprepared for the times to come. Our economy could suffer very hard because it relies on growth and with oil demand increasing and production declining there could be more recessions to come.

Lindsey Lohan And Mel Gibson will star in a film together.

- Brazil will win the 2010 World Cup (Soccer / football) in South Africa. Holland will disappoint and not even make it through the group stage.


I was wrong, on both counts. Yeah, I really know my soccer... ::)


- Johan 'Jopie' Heesters wil (finally) die. FYI: he turned 106 on December 5, so it shouldn't come as a surprise.


Last I heard, he's still alive.


- Laura Dekker (14) will go missing in her attempt to become the youngest person ever to solo sail the world.


This could still happen, as she set out to sail to Portugal earlier this week.

Another major snowstorm buries New York in December.

This is possible but it has been said every decade since the 1960s.  This is definitely a case of "the boy who cried wolf."  Nonetheless, we need to get ourselves in gear and come up with some kind of alternative, but it green energy or simple natural gas, to give us a bridge when peak oil does arrive. 

The UK 70's pop group Slade will reform.
There did not!
