dear peter g. balbus,

as one of the world’s premiere futurists, please indulge the professional curiosity of this aspiring futurist.

i know your field is hard to break into, but i feel i have the “intangibles” required to be an all-star futurist. would you mind evaluating some of my amatuer futurist predictions? this is what i have so far:

1) you won’t answer this email
2) my girlfriend will leave me shortly after i resign my current career to pursue futurism
3) oprah’s army of androids will destroy wyoming in early 2012
4) the professional association i founded, “futurists for america” will reach its enrollment plateau at 3 members
5) 2 members will thereafter resign due to the high enrollment fees.
6) someone will posthumously find this post, see that all of my predictions have come true, and i will be known forever as the greatest futurist.

well, let me know what you think? do i have a shot in your industry? ha ha, almost gotcha! (see prediction #1).

sincerely,
brian skowron
future futurist

    other way around, joey. it was my camera, and i predicted that ben would break it. and then breakdance.
