Happy New Year GOLO!

With 2009 right around the corner, let's make some predictions that we can come back and revisit this time next year next. 

You pick the topic. The economy, politics, crime, education, a lottery win, GOLO...anything you wish. So go for it. 

I will post the predictions one year from today so we can see how many came true.

 

I predict that we will have 20,000 GOLO profiles and SueDonym will still be the top GOLO poster of all time! I also predict that three major newspapers will close up shop and become online only.

 

What's your 2009 prediction?

I predict bubbles will have deer stew for us all on Friday.

Angelina Jolie will become pregnant.

I will get laid one last time this year. LOL

39, email me I will let you in on a little secret. I am on a different computer and cannot pull up your email.

39...c'mere baby, lets go head and take care of that ;i

I predict Jolly's predictions will be correct and I also predict more and more of my comments and blogs will get censored because they discuss issues some people would rather avoid.

lol jolly~~~

email on its way mestarr!!!

I predict that Gandalf will get promoted at least once.

I predict that Historian will become xiv.

I predict that Angela will tell her doctor she needs something for her nerves related to her job. (J/K...I hope.)

I predict, I will fall in love...again!!!

How about this; After beening forced (thru US as well as the UN pressure) to stop their war on Hamas in the Palastinian areas, Israel will bomb nuclear sites in Iran causing them to close (temporarely) the Straits of Hormuse (Persian Gulf) and raising oil prices further plunging the US economy into recession. On the bright side, no one will care what goes on in Hollywood...

OMG Angela you erased my 1st comment, how could you.

What? I didn't erase any comment from you!

"What? I didn't erase any comment from you!"

uh oh, catfight. don't get too crazy angela...the moderators are watching.

Cary she only erases my comments

But here are my predictions:

*Golo will open a chatroom where Angela will not be able to close it

*President Obama will do something incredible in 2009

*CaryCrazzy will win the Lottery

1)Israel tries to take out Iran's nukes, sending already shaky financial markets down the tubes & oil prices thru the roof. 2)unemployment rate reaches 10-12% 3)More foreclosures & a continued "correction" in housing prices.4)Multi-generational families in a single house become the norm. 5)Nationalized healthcare is abandoned because of the cost in a tanking economy.6)Gay marriage issue is resolved by the Supreme Court.7)Putin continues to form stronger alliances in South/Central America, & becomes a real threat to national security, particularly in the Gulf Coast Region-oil production.8)The Big 3 in Detroit will become the Big 2.9)EVERY tax payer will see a tax increase "in some form". 10)Bonuses for retention in the military will decrease, despite increased foreign threats 11)The US is forced to adopt an "all of the above" policy energy, much to the chagrin of nature nazis. sigh... I need Manofjustice to cheer me up!

"I also predict that ConAmor will get pregnant!" Jolly Roger

Oh PLEASE let it be twins!!!!!!!! I was hoping to have at least 4 or 5 by now!!

lol @ Gandalf & slick

its okay Angela pretend you din't do anything.(Just Kidding) There was a Blog that showed everyones predictions and I was the first one to comment on and well you took it off.

I predict that in 2009, we will become acquainted with Gandalfs 8,9,10, and 11.

Cary, are you crazy?! LOL! I was the first one to comment here! Really, there were no other comments when I clicked on. Maybe you commented in the wrong blog! LMBO!!

I predict that a well known, semi famous person will join GOLO and love it. But no one will believe that they are who they say they are, and dog them all the time until they leave.

TMED: would all of these things happen if we change our minds and put McCain in instead??

ConAmor: You are a brave woman to be hoping for two! I have one and he's a handful by himself!

-I predict the economy will be down the first half of the year, then start to rebound in the summer, by the end of year companies will be hiring and growing.

-I predict Paris Hilton will get pregnant.

-I predict we will basically withdraw from Iraq, the place will be a mess, but won't be a threat.

-I predict many companies will increase the number of employees at lower cost locations, like NC, as opposed to the northeast and west coast.

"I predict that a well known, semi famous person will join GOLO and love it. But no one will believe that they are who they say they are, and dog them all the time until they leave."

do you know who i am con amor?

I predict that wral will hire a new ancor person from another station, and that the person will later end up leaving to work for "48 hrs".

slick rick....Who you be?

im kind of a big deal.

people know me. im kind of important.

What your real name is?

Con. you nosy girl!

lol...im j/k con.

rick arent you that rapper with the gold teeth and super fly rope chains?

"TMED: would all of these things happen if we change our minds and put McCain in instead??" hell, no!

I also predict that the story of the life of a North Carolinian, will make it to the big screen, and become a box office hit!

Okay, here's mine:

*Golo will open a chatroom where there will be no closing times

*President Elect Obama will do something incredible in 2009

*CaryCrazzy will get rich in 2009

Cary!! I just like to be "informed"!! LOL!!!!

Slick... Dang, I was hoping that you was Rick Flair!! WHOOOOOO!

jolly...dont forget the big clock

Governor Bev Perdue will continue the policies of Mike Easley.

Barack Obama will continue the policies of Bill Clinton.

Lindsay Lohan will be arrested for drunk driving.

Angelina Jolie will annoy me at least once.

The Bush Administration will be blamed by the media for anything that goes wrong.

OK, so it's all low-hanging fruit. Are we going for accuracy or creativity?

Slick, are you Flava Flav?

By Christmas, 2009, we will see an appearance by our newest 'old' GOLOer, Gandalf97...

"TMED: would all of these things happen if we change our minds and put McCain in instead??" hell, no! oops...I guess that should actually read, "hell, yes, they would still happen if we changed our minds" It's going to be rough ride this year...period, no matter WHO is in office... My hubby just told me this morning - his company is moving it's headquarters to Ireland...can anyone say "low corporate tax rate"?

Someone well known on GOLO will actualy be on the 5 oclock news, on a totaly non golo related story, and start sending "shout outs" to all the rest of us Golo regulars!

TMED: sounds like a good excuse to move to Ireland before the USA goes down the toilet though....if you believe that Russian guy, the whole US is going to break up in the next 1-2 yrs.

"It's going to be rough ride this year...period, no matter WHO is in office... "

agreed. there is too much teflon on the slippery slope right now.

LOL@Conamor....yo whaddup all my Golo peeps! holla!

What will happen in '08? Perdue will follow Easley, continuing NC's rein of one of the most corrupt US state gov'mts, Obama will raise taxes to pay for helping 'bail out' all his union buddies and deplete the Military leaving the US open for a second 9/11. Bush will get blamed for everything that goes wrong, even though he is screwed because of the Clinton administration's ease on bank loans, just giving them to everyone. Obama will create a huge mess that the next Republican president will have to come in, try to fix, and get blamed for. By the way, did anyone else here Clinton on TV TAKING BLAME for causing the economic crisis? The years of Soviet Democrats are upon us.

Jolly, I heard just a snippet or two about that yesterday...had to laugh at the part that said the deep south, including Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas would be part of Mexico! He evidently failed to check the number of gun-owners in those states! LOL...I wouldn't mind breaking away from the northeast, though, truth be told...

I tend to think things will get worse for the unprepared.That now is the time to pay off all debts and save as much money as you can.That a lot more interest will surface for living within your means and economizing.More people will join the military in hopes of having a steady paycheck.More people will garden.Wont matter who the president is things are going to get worse.Either the Bears,Green bay or Steelers will win the super bowl in 09.We will have a grand daughter born late August early September.A major earthquake will hit California and the west coast. Gas prices will rise and so will food. Now on a lighter note I think Good will prevail over evil.

I predict blogs I post will not be allowed on the most recent blog list by the blog police ... wait thats this year ... hmmm dont know about next year

I'm not going back and read the answers, but dam I hope someone predicted snow and LOTS of it!
