Predictions? September 18, 2010?

[Bob]

Any predictions?  That's two years from today.  Maybe we can all come back and take a look.

Somehow I think I'll be about in the place I am now.  Hmm....

[rc]

hahah, sure why not

I will be starting my second year of school and money will be getting thin.  Still trying to become a good pianist.  Still reading Bobs posts and procrastinating.

My auto insurance will be lower.  This time around though, my van will still be in pretty decent shape.

My dad will speak even more garbled and confusingly than ever.  My stepmom will still be shredding the same papers that she's been shredding for about 5 years already, she will have burned out a 5 shredding machines by then...  She will have a harder time concealing her insanity.

That is all I can glean from the future at this point.  See you in two years

[retrouvailles]

Here's an interesting prediction:

Pianostreet will no longer exist.

[morningstar]

Well its the 19th here at the time of this thread starting so that's screwed right from the start. But I would like to think I'd be finished TAFE, have a decent job and be moving out of home if not out already. And I'm taking the piano mum!

There will be razors with 4 or 5 blades. 2012 there will be ones with 6 or 8 blades. You will not get replacements for the ones with less blades, so you need to buy always new razors.

There will be cellphones with a 3000 mhz CPU and a 2 terabytes HD. And with quadrophonic mp3 player.

There already are razors with 4 or 5 blades! Well here there are anyways, Gilette has them. That would be an awesome phone, I'll start trying to make one!

[pianochick93]

I'll probably be stressed out because of year 12 exams. Hopefully I'll be able to drive by then.

[concerto_love]

CAAAi!!! I DUN WANT U GO!!! 

[Bob]

Yeah, I'm thining I'll still be stressed out.  Worrying about money.  Worrying about a job.  Trying to squeeze in practicing when I can.  And probably still focusing on the same goals and challenges in practice.

I looked back at one of my first posts.  It sounds like stuff I'm still thinking and wondering about today.

And I'll probably be maybe five pounds heavier and feel a little bit more tired. 

[shortyshort]

I will still be doing the same things, I think.
I think that my job's OK at the moment, at least for 6 months. 

But, you never know. I may be dead, or mad, or madder? 

2 years? I'll be old then. 

[loonbohol]

The president of the Philippines will change and the president of the U.S will be elected

[aewanko]

And we're all doomed. (Ehh, not really. I hope.)

[invictious]

Second year medical student in Hong Kong with plenty to do.

[tanman]

hmm...
*looks into a crystal ball. sees visions of being supreme ruler of the earth...
hmm... me wonders what this is supposed to mean...

[pianoplayer88]

I'll be in 12th grade, doing dual enrollment, getting close to college...

[morningstar]

Seriously now. I will be finished TAFE and hopefully have a job as a tech and might be starting uni. Hope to be out of home as well with a car.

[Bob]

I will not be in the same location where I am now.  I'm pretty certain of that.

[shinerl]

LOONBOHOL will perform his composition in front of many people.
In Japan

[db05]

shinerl is loonbohol's biggest fan. He will sit in the front row with db05 and pinoypianist. We are all invited to the afterparty, where we will be asked to play.  You get ready.

[lostinidlewonder]

There will be another big natural disaster with many lost lives.

[minor9th]

Jimi Hendrix will have been dead 40 years. (I guess that's more of an observation...)

[Bob]

There will be another big natural disaster with many lost lives.

Can you be more specific?  There will probably be a few hurricians each year that kill people.  Bridge collapse?  Terrorist attack?  In the US?  You know some terrorist will bomb some embassy.

I predict the US will be still be in Iraq and people will be debating whether they should leave or not.  That's not much of a stretch.

And I predict will be broke.

[Bob]

Just for consistency.

I predict there will be more prediction threads.


Ah, I have one.  A better one.  I predict there will be a military engagement somewhere that is primarily fought with robots and some AI.  That's on the West's side.  The other side would be a small country or terrorists.  It will be a battle fought by people using joystick game controllers.

I feel flattered.

[concerto_love]

well, sitting in front of the piano, playing scales... next to the piano, there's an article, "Cai Hong get the first place for international competition"... 

[tanman]

I predict that this thread will be bumped up on that date.

[0range]

Zombie Apocalypse.

But, crazy guy, zombies aren't real!

this

this

[morningstar]

I predict that zombies will be back on world of warcraft

[lostinidlewonder]

I predict Iran and North Korea will start to become of focused  interest in US politics. It is positively nuclear... lol. Mushrooming out from both sides.

There will be another big natural disaster with many lost lives.

Can you be more specific?

People will have to evacuate mass areas because of climate change causing rising waters. This will effect the poor a lot more than the rich, they will suffer disease from the rising waters and death from lack of shelter and food. Not really a prediction, it is a reality. https://www.unwire.org/unwire/20011116/21838_story.asp

[morningstar]

I predict that Australia will be on the tail end of this damned recession!

There already are razors with 4 or 5 blades! Well here there are anyways, Gilette has them.

Oh god, I know! How many blades does a man need to shave? LOL

"Now try the new Gillette 10-bladed razor! One blade has a special magnet to attract the facial hair towards the other 9 blades! One blade has miniature holes that excretes the shaving foam! Two blades trim the facial hair at a precise angle for maximum aero-dynamic potential! Another blade acts as a safety feature to prevent your partner from throwing it in the bin! Another blade is beautifully decorated for the user to look cool in front of the mirror! Another blade excretes after-shave so the user can smell strongly of feline urine! Another blade excretes a safety fluid if the user to stupid enough to cut themselves (which is impossible due to how the 10 blades are spaced out and have a safety guard!). Another blade vibrates to skim across the remaining facial hair that was left by the third and fourth blades! And the final blade closes all pores so facial hair doesn't return until at least 6:00 pm! So try new Gillette 10-bladed razor! The best a man can get! Product suitable to avaliability, terms and conditions apply, please use all Gillette products responsibly."

What the hell...

[thalberg]

GWK was joking but there are six blades coming our way!

[morningstar]

What the bloody hell do we need 6 blades for?!
4 works fine thank you!

Yeah because I could never have worked that out...traffic warden.

[Bob]

Hmm.... Only three months away now.   Seems to be some good, some bad so far from me.  The predictions are interesting to read.

The "another big natural disaster" prediction is interesting now too with the Gulf leak, except that's not natural.  An environmental diaster for sure.

I'm interested to see how this finally ends up.

[pianochick93]

Well, I'm driving. I'm also stressed about exams (two days away), though not the ones mentioned in my original post.

[Bob]

Sept 18th is coming up soon....

[littletune]

well not THAT soon, it's still more than a month  I don't want August to be over so soon!  I wanna do sooo many things before holidays are over!

[perfect_pitch]

Hey - I'll be 26 on that day....

And three weeks away from sitting my Fellowship exam.

[Bob]

It doesn't seem that long ago.  We'll have to make another one.  I'm thinking maybe at just a year, like September 18, 2011.

I'm still curious.  I have one big detail I still need to figure out before September 18th, something that should be resolved by then.

[Bob]

A week from tomorrow....

[littletune]

wow this was really fast!    and three days after September 18 it will be exaclty 1 year since I have joined Pianostreet!      .... sooo that's kinda like my second birthday   

[minor9th]

.

[Bob]

I think I'll make the next one for a year.  Sept 18, 2011

Already I think I'll be doing nearly the exact things I'm doing now.  Slightly different work. Same music stuff, same music ideas. 

Hmmm.... I predict the U.S. will still have a heavy presence in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.  Maybe the government will say we're pulled out, but there will still be plenty of U.S. people there. 

I predict no major events in the Middle East.  Just more of the constant bickering among those countries.

PS will be essentially the same.

I predict... No major environmental disasters like Katrina or the Gulf oil spill.  But the economy will do another negative medium-sized negative dip.

These are kind of boring. I need come up with some good Nostradamus-but-actually-specific ones.

Technology... things will be slightly more green.  More about electric cars and solar/wind power.  Gas prices will stay the same essentially.  New and improved gadgets will continue to come out but they won't change that much in the next year -- Just faster, cheaper, etc.  but no major changes to how people exist with technology.

I predict we'll hear about some big breakthrough with genes or bio-something that will be great, but we won't actually see anything results up to Sept 18, 2011.

[thalbergmad]

Jimi Hendrix will have been dead for 40 years on that day..

Sad indeed. His music has grown on me during the last couple of years.

Did you know he lived next door to Handel??

Thal

Thal

Yes, I did--well, next door to where Handel once lived! 

I was lucky enough to see him in concert when I was 14 just a few months before he died. He was talking about writing music for orchestras and adding classical elements to his music. It's so sad that he died so young--hard to imagine where his music would have gone.

[Bob]

Here it is.



Reset for another year.

I was right!

I mean, September was a while ago (whoops...sorry guys), but I could drive, and I was scared at the prospect of finishing high school.

Now I'm graduated, and my exams start in a week :S
