<p>Maybe this is just my pet-peeve, maybe I&#8217;m a bit cynical (who isn&#8217;t?), or maybe I&#8217;m just cranky and need a burrito. But if I read one more &#8220;Predictions for 2010&#8243; blog entry, I think I might have to punch <a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/apple-macbook-pro-2007/4505-3121_7-32465635.html">my computer</a>.</p>
<div id="attachment_755" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 249px"><a href="http://www.themollybuckley.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/article-1112208-0305B40B000005DC-808_468x587.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-755" title="article-1112208-0305B40B000005DC-808_468x587" src="http://www.themollybuckley.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/article-1112208-0305B40B000005DC-808_468x587-239x300.jpg" alt="" width="239" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Unless you&#39;re this lady, stop telling me what WILL happen.</p></div>
<p>And my computer doesn&#8217;t deserve that, she&#8217;s been nothing but loyal to me.</p>
<p><strong>But seriously, stop making predictions and start DOING</strong>. Stop telling me what you THINK will happen and take the steps, do the work, and take the actions that are necessary to actually MAKE things happen the way you want them to. Don&#8217;t let &#8220;the man&#8221; do the dirty work for you.</p>
<p><strong>That&#8217;s what I&#8217;m doing. </strong></p>
<p>Do you think I am working four jobs right now because I predict I will be worn out in 2010? Or predict I will be broke? No. I am working four jobs right now and #hustling like whoa so that I can get over this hump, <a href="http://www.themollybuckley.com/2009/12/16/social-media-tip-make-better-connections/">make a real connection</a>, and be a rockstar in 2010.</p>
<p>Now, because I&#8217;m awesome and I like to contradict myself a little bit sometimes, I will say that I understand the intent of or purpose behind predictions. We <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>can all see</em></span> what is coming&#8230; in a sense &#8211; I think we all have a bit of clairvoyancy (<em>is that a word?</em>). I think it stems from our innate ability to have a vision for the future&#8230; and for all of those <a href="http://www.history.com/content/nostradamus">Nostradamus specials on the History channel</a>.</p>
<p>(In my humble opinion, there&#8217;s a difference between having vision and being a &#8220;predictor.&#8221;)</p>
<p><strong>But seriously, I don&#8217;t want to hear ANY MORE 2010 predictions.</strong> If so, I predict that I&#8217;ll open up a nice <a href="http://www.soltshirts.com/content/p/9/pid/1739/catid/563/Can_of_Whoop_Ass">can of whoop ass</a> on you.</p>
<p>(<em>Ps: I am just joking about the can of whoop ass. I do not promote violence in any way. I hope that for those of you that are not aware of my sometimes sarcastic tone, that you can take my words for what they are. Just words.</em>)</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>What do you think? </strong>Do you think predictions are valid or just lip service? Prove me wrong. I love being proven wrong.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Word</strong>.</p>
