Predicting the Future - Frannie Version

Predicting the Future
Frannie Version
07-29-14

I went on google and searched, "Franciscan Graduation," and this was the second picture listed. Nailed it! 

Now on to my newest blog. If you have ever read my blog, you now know the topics chosen can be anything under the sun. I've written a lot of theological based blogs, but also a few sports blogs, and of course, a few satirical one's. This one will be more on the satirical side. The subject - the future! With Senior year under way, it seemed only appropriate. So... Let's begin.

1. Mike Weber - My first blog was in regards to Mike Weber, about three years ago. It only seemed fitting that he would start this blog out. Where will Mike be 
- 5 years After graduation -
Weber, a business major, will have received his Master's by this point, and will definitely be the head of his own company - a BEAR Company! Sorry, I meant Beer company. Weber lives just outside Buffalo, and since the economy pretty much sucks there, Weber will be able to buy a factory for pretty cheap, and make his beer there. He'll be torn about the name, but "AHH-HAH" will be the one that makes the cut. Why? When it comes down to it, the beer will be a cheaper, low quality type, so if it is being drunk, it will probably be in the hands of some people who just want to party, and this way, as long as you can make sounds, you can tell the bartender or your party's host what you want. I want a "bah-faba!" Oh you mean, AHH-HAH? No problem!" Once the beer makes its way into the college parties across the country, Weber will invest in a quality subsection, with beers like, "The Bear," "The Dipsnap," "AHH-HAH - Classic," "The Painted Curb" and "The Anderson."
Cheers to you Mr. Weber!

2. Michael Anderson -  One of Weber's best bud's, it seems only appropriate.
- 5 years after graduation -  
Anderson will remain close with Weber, and for a time, they'll discuss working together, but once Weber says he wants to open up a beer company in Buffalo, and not the sacred area of San Jose, Anderson will ditch the idea, and decide to instead open up his own beer company. John will be joining him, and the Anderson's will open up "Sharkerson's Beer Company," a brewery with a fine label, and even finer beer. Mike will becoming stinking rich quickly after the beer is introduced. 







 3. Michael D'Amico - Can't talk about the first two Mike's without D'Amico. 
- 10 years after graduation - 
D'Amico's future looks pretty set. Most of us would predict D'Amico will be a doctor in ten years, and that is not far off; He just wont be the type of doctor most of us thought. After years of Medical school, Mike will find himself studying for one of his last tests before residency, and while looking outside the window, will see a hawk. Not just any Hawk though, but Big Guss, the one he trained in High School! D'Amico will run outside to watch it fly, only to see it go down, having been shot by someone. After this catastrophic event, D'Amico will look to "AHH-HAH Beer" to help him recover from this horrible situation, but after a month or so, he will decide to become a specialized Big Bird Vet. Attention all Eagles, Hawks and Falcons - Michael D'Amico is on your side. Oh, and he will grow his hair out so that he can give the big birds some materials for their nests.

4. James Sweeney - One of my best buds, got to include him.
- 12 years after graduation - 
Jimmy loves script writing, and after graduation, he gets a gig writing commercials for local companies in Central Pennsylvania. Eventually he gets recognized by a talent agency, and moves to L.A. While there, he meets his favorite director, Christopher Nolan, and he is hired on as a writer. Living the dream, James eventually makes it big as the main writer for one of Nolan's blockbuster movies. After that, he decides to direct his first movie, a story about a family of pirates, which is a huge box office success. James' biggest success though is his family life, with James working hand in hand with Focus on the Family, and writing two parenting books. At the age of 33, James is a big time director, and a father of 6. Congrats James! 

5. Joseph Radzialowski - 
- 15 years after graduation - 
J-Rad loves competing, and so Medical school turned into a competition, and though it almost killed him, he finished second in his class at John Hopkins... Second to a Miss. Elizabeth Cunningham. Was J-rad mad? Of course, but at least it was Liz. After medical school, J-Rad decided to move to Cleveland and worked at the Cleveland Clinic. While there, he found a cure to the common cold, which he then lost after having four drinks... 

6. Sarah Bueche -
- 8 years after graduation - 
After graduation, Sarah goes on to work for EWTN, and just a year in, is given her chance in the spotlight - her own television talk show. For a while, it is a success. She is charming, funny, knowledgeable, pretty, etc. All the things needed to be a good talk show host. Eventually though, EWTN has to kick her off the air, mainly because she was confusing viewers at home with her weird California lingo, including the common Buecher phrase, "Monkeys!" which is used like, "Well that's a bunch of Monkeys!" Once she cut ties with EWTN, she opened up her own online talk show called, "Streaming Live,'" which is a huge hit. BuecherBasket remains fun and hip, but follows Church teachings and fights with Mormon's... Done so charitably. 

7. Corinne Purcell - 
- 3 years after graduation - 
With school finished, Corinne will be unsure what she wants to do, until she gets a call from the American Embassy in Korea. Because Cori lived in Korea before, and has siblings from there, she will be given a job at the Embassy, aka, nanny. A $100 K nanny job... If you need Cori, she will be with in Korea! 



8. Daniel Fay - 
- 10 years after graduation - 
Daniel has a few connections, and once he graduates, he will find himself working in our Nation's Capital. He will start working for the Mexican Consulate for Public Relations but eventually, Dan will move up to his dream position, FBI agent. D-Fay will become one of the Nations top agents, and at the age of 31, will be on the cover of GQ with the headline reading, "Tight Pants, Band Tee's and Catching Bad Guys - The Life of Dan Fay." 







9. Mary Niehaus and Katie Danaher -
- 11 years after graduation -
After graduating, Mary and Katie will go on to teach for a year or two until they have their first kids (not together of course), and then they will be doing what they do best, being dang good Mothers. If you know them, they will make the best moms, and so when that day comes, their kids can rest assure that they'll be taken care of, along with receiving their fair share of good baking and cooking. 


10. Dennis Hoyer -
- 5 minutes after graduation -
After graduating, Dennis will realize he is a handsome big bad boy, and will subsequently remind all of his fellow classmates. After he let's people know that, he'll find Tina's phone and leave her a recording that she can listen to later. To finish off the event, he'll go eat a couple triple cheeseburgers from the cafe. All in a day for this boy. "Hello, my name is Beot. Welcome to my light show." 

11. Christina Martinelli - 
- 5 years after graduation -
After Big Tuna graduates, she'll decide to go back to New York, where she'll work for a time. Eventually though, she'll make a trip to the City, where she meets someone - the CEO for American Girl Doll. Noticing that Tuna looks like an American Girl Doll, he'll offer her a job, which she'll readily accept. Once she is brought on board, the doll sales will sky rocket, and Tuna will be the main reason, with the most popular doll being named Christina, which will look eerily similar to her. 


12. Patrick Manion - 
- 7 years after graduation - 
Once Patrick hits the business world, success will be the norm, as he will start by working with Josh B., his big brother of Household. Eventually though, Patrick will look to move out of the business world, and in to politics. Patrick likes to talk, likes to help, and always has a plan, so it will be no surprise that he'll find his way into politics, becoming a congressman at the age of 28. Married with two kids, Patrick will be one of the gems in Indiana. 

13. Dan Hass - 
- 14 years after graduation -
Once Dan graduates, he'll work in the business world for a while, but like Patrick, he'll decide to move to Politics, mostly because he knows our world needs him. At the age of 35, Dan will run for President, and win. Mark your calendar's now, because 2028 is going to be a fine year. If only Rick had known he was meeting the future president....


14. Olivia Cundiff - 
- 20 years after graduation -
Olivia has been stressing "the Community" since I've been friends with her freshman year, so after she leaves school, she'll try to make it a reality. Olivia will begin working in South Carolina for an Event Planning company, while spending her free time starting her Catholic Community. It will begin with her family, but she'll slowly get us to come, and by 2034, there will be 20 or so families in the area. Well done, O-Diff.

 18. Mark "Make It" Rainwater -
- 19 years after graduation -
Mark will find his way into dental school once he graduates, and after finishing that up, he will move to the east coast and set up shop. Keeping his own pearly whites clean is not a problem, but doing so for others is, and after one of his patients files for mistreatment, he has to shut down his practice. No fear though! It turns out that Mark had saved up a lot of money though from his years of dentistry, and decides to open up a restaurant, with the two staple foods being Pizza and fries, along with grilled cheese and tacos. The restaurant turns out to be a huge success, and "Make it" Rainwater ends up building a franchise in South Carolina.

She will end up staying there for a long time, with occasional trips back to the states. The people will love her there, and she will become bilingual. Finally though, the Lord will ask Maura to do something else - be a international speaker, discussing Theology of the Body and the power of the Mother. Totus Tuus.
