Predicting the future

I wish to predict here and now that a very popular social phrase will sweep the nation starting November 9th.  The most common phrase that will be used repeatedly on that Wednesday and many days to follow will come from every possible demographic that can be conceived of by media and pollsters and will be representative of people from all walks of life.

The phrase will be used by all social classes, both rich and poor, and it will not matter which race, religion, or national heritage you claim.  It will not matter your age or gender.  It will not matter your educational background or news network preference.  Even music taste will not determine the usage of this new flash phrase that will encompass all Americans and ex-pats living abroad.

This phrase was not developed by use of Ouija boards, Tarot cards, divining rods, or supermarket tabloids.  This phrase is not being published in several different locations with different predictions on each in an effort to promote the one that is correct.  I did not dial up any 1-900 psychic numbers and ask for this information.  No seances were conducted in the obtaining of this phrase.

The confidence of this prediction is so great that if it were made in relationship to the stock market, earthquakes, famines, wars and/or pestilence, great monies could be made by the predictor and the user of said information.  It is the stuff of legends of which books, and poems, and music and movies are made.  University students could create doctoral thesis on just this kind of predictive power and reasoning.

And the phrase that you can look back on remembering the day that you discovered it before others within your social realm, a phrase that will become a part of you and those around you is;
"Don't blame me, I voted for ...(fill in your choice)."

The choices will run the gamut from anyone you may of heard of this time around as well as a few old favorites like I voted for Kodos (search for Simpson episode from Treehouse of Horror, still one of their best) to lesser known also rans from yesteryear like my favorites Pat Paulsen (look it up on YouTube and you will know why) and Rudy Taft.

Even if you happened to pick the winner no matter who that might be you will still be tempted to use the phrase for your own peace of mind.  Think about it, you probably have already.

My blog is ranked...

...just outside of the top 10.  Okay, way outside the top 10.  According to urlmetrics my Farrwestview blog is ranked 4,623,480 in the United States while being unranked worldwide.

What does this mean?  Just about anything I guess.  It doesn't bother me, nor does it excite me.  Well maybe it does but only a little.

It is fun too know that even though I am small stuff now I am still big enough to create a blip on somebodies radar.  That is kind of cool.

The internet helps create freedom of speech and it also provides proof that there is no guarantee of an audience...that you have to earn.  I send out a warm thank you too all that have, are or will give my blog a little bit of their time.  Who knows, with a little more effort on my part, maybe I can overtake number 4,623,479.  Fingers crossed.
