What I Think Will Happen in 2010

Every year since 1990 I have been typing up my resolutions. It's always fun to go back and see how happy and/or messed up I was as each new year started. The years I missed were usually some of the most down times of my life. But, as we stand at the precipise of 2010, I can't help but write down a few predictions of what I think will happen in the world, from my own life to my friends and family to the rest of the world. It'll be fun to come back to this in January 2011 and compare ...

1. I think I will lose at least 25 pounds this year.

2. I doubt I'll have a girlfriend in 2010.

3. I'd bet good money that Kevin will have a girlfriend in 2010.

4. Nathan and Leah and Matthew and Stacey will finally decide where they're going on their journies together.

5. Wade and Becki Cole will be pregnant.

6. Rich and Erin Hoffman will be pregnant too.

7. Matt and Jami Hanford will have a baby girl. It's a 50/50 shot anyway.

8. Either I'll redecorate a lot of my house or move to a different one.

9. I'll still be with Leo A Daly at the end of the year.

10. I'll get a lot of rejection letters from submitting my work.

11. The recession will keep on trucking.

12. The population of Iraq will slowly start to turn on itself.

13. The Taliban will be crushed.

14. Most of Barack Obama's promises will still not be met, but the media won't care.

15. Nothing exciting will happen in the world of music.

16. The Green Bay Packers (11-5) and the Nebraska Cornhuskers (10-4) will be just as good next year as they are this year ... no change.

17. None of my close family or friends will die this year.

18. My favorite vacation of the year will NOT be in Estes Park. I don't know where it will be today, but I've got a feeling if I go anywhere else, it will be better.

19. Something significant will happen in the life of Angi or Heather that will change everything from this point on.

20. This blog will still be up, running and awesome.
