Whether you believe in such things or not, my grandmother had me convinced at a young age that I was indeed precognitive or psychic. Personally, I think I am the world's biggest skeptic, but I thought, this year, being the start of a new decade, that I'd record some predictions for the coming year. At the end of the year, I expect to get a big laugh out of myself - but maybe my grandmother was right. Anyway, here are my Top 10 predictions for 2010.
1) President Obama will have a major health scare. I hope someone's keeping a close eye on his health. (I'm kind of hoping that this one is just my own feelings of anxiety being projected.)
2) There will be strife between Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell. Hmmmm...
3) Turkey will experience an earthquake.
4) There will be a tunnel collapse in the NY subway system. However, it will be in a disused line and there will be no casualties. It won't be as a result of terrorist activity.
5) A major solar flare will degrade and possibly disrupt communications for a couple of days.
6) There will be a bacterial-based epidemic that will prove resistent to antibiotics. It will prove to be worse than MRSA.
7) The first wedding will be performed in space.
8) Yet another actor will run for political office. This time, it will be a woman.
9) Scientists will discover a way to curb the obesity epidemic. It will involve a minor surgical procedure to the brain.
10) The economic recovery will continue. Buy stocks now while the prices are good!
I'll be sure to check back on this next January to see how I do. In the meantime, if you have your own predictions, let us know what they are. (Please do this in the spirit of fun that it's intended to be.)
All the best,
