Just as we watch the fogs slowly lifting over the farmhouse in Gary Hamburgh´s beautiful picture, here are my predictions for 2012.
Universal
- The universe as we know it will still be here
- We will have made contact with an extraterrestrial intelligence. However, they decline any further contact because they think we are dumb asses.
- The answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything will remain 42.
- The Arab spring will continue with baby-steps and a few set backs, it will eventually also turn into a Persian spring. There will still be no Chinese spring in sight
- The Internet will remain free, power mongers must realize you cannot put the genie back in the can once it is set free.
- Barack Obama will be reelected for a second term as President of the United States of America
- SecondLife will still be here, things will improve inworld when Viewer 1 has been dropped
- Linden Lab will remain as owners of SecondLife and their financial situation will slowly improve
- Mesh will... ugh lets wait and see, my answer on this one is 42
- The blog "Tinas universum" (Tina´s Universe) will be up and running again, the oldest Swedish avatar known to man cannot hold back long
- "Bock in SecondLife" will most likely still be here, lets say 42 on this one
- As for the rest - 42
- I will be 42 and Bock will be 5, but we will still look like 32 and act like 12
- I and Bock will have had sex again with another human being and/or avatar. Finally!
- I will still be on antidepressants but vastly improved
That´s it folks! All in all, we have a wonderful and marvelous year waiting for us. Enjoy 2012!

Zigga and Em
Haha sirhc, somehow the names Leda and Zeus and the term bestiality pops up in my head. ;P
ReplyDeleteHugs Ziga and Em, have a great evening together! Love ya both!
42? Should there be a plus sign between 4 and 2 ... if so, the meaning of life ... 6! If there is no sex ... can it be Second Life? ;)
ReplyDeleteArghh you techies! The number comes from the radi play and novel "The Hichhikers guide to the galaxy" by Douglas Adams.
ReplyDeleteWell Sven, sex is a part of ant decent existence, therefor also of SecondLife, but sometimes one must do without. It is possible to survive ;)
