With the turn of the new year, Jose Canseco decided to unleash his inner Nostradamus.

The new year brings much optimism to the casual person. They decide to write down their New Year’s resolutions and stick to them as best as can be. Although most fail by the second week of January it brings some forward thinking along with it.

Others take the helpful route in trying to predict the future, foolishly, on Twitter. This is exactly what our dear-old friend and former Oakland Athletics slugger Jose Canseco did to celebrate January 1st, 2015.

He first laid the ground work by nicknaming himself “Cansecodamus 2015,” which is a brilliant move right off the bat. I mean, seriously, who would listen to a name like Jose Canseco? “Cansecodamus” on the other hand sounds righteous, powerful and all-knowing.

Interesting. Perhaps the secret formula for sustaining life on Mars laid somewhere in the facilities of Balco, or Canseco’s basement during the 1988 season.

Uh-oh Michigan, you just acquired a new fan.

Ok then.

Low blow with little originality. Let’s not forget Urkel could ball a little as “Grandmama” showed him the way.

Life on Mars has a better shot.

Weird.

Even Weirder.

Helpless hopefulness from the mouth of a massive steroid user.

Of all extremities he picks the finger?

Recap:

Canseco has a strange obsession with the paranormal, Barbara Walters and Urkel. Aside from those little tidbits, there isn’t much else here.

There’s one thing worth noting though: “Consecodamus” was the lone man who was correct regarding everything steroids in baseball a decade ago. Regardless of his motives, and his blowing the lid on the entire situation, he was the man that turned out to be correct on almost 99 percent of the things he claimed.

Let’s just hope history doesn’t repeat itself here, or we’re shortly going to see Barbara Walters hop on Marty McFly’s hover-board en route to her interview with the extra-terrestrial.
