THE UNIQUE STRUCTURE OF THE BUILDING, IS MADE TO BE LIKE A TENT, INDICATIVE OF THE TENTS, THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, LIVED IN, AS THEY WANDERED IN THE WILDERNESS, WAKING TO MANNA FROM GOD EACH MORNING! I DIDN'T DARE TELL, MY CONVERSATION, BUDDY, THAT, ONE NIGHT, SOMEONE LEFT THE DOOR OPEN, TOO LONG, AND A BAT FLEW IN, NOT MAKING ITSELF, KNOWN, UNTIL, THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, WHEN, STAFF TURNED ON THE LIGHT, ON 40 OR SO, SLEEPING WOMEN, SAYING SHE WAS SAVING OUR LIVES!

WHAT IN THE FUCK? LUCKILY I HAD, TWO LARGE, FRENCH DOORS, THAT WERE STILL OPEN, AND ALL I HAD TO DO WAS TRY TO GUIDE IT BACK, OUT WHERE IT CAME IN!

I JUST LOOKED AT THE BAT, AS SYMBOLIC, THAT BATMAN HAD ARRIVED AT THE SYNAGOGUE! LOL. PROTECTION. SAFE PLACE. A COUPLE OF FUNNY THINGS ON THE RADIO SHOW THIS MORNING, 99.9, KISW: (1) NEW STUDY CAME OUT ON MILLENNIALS, AND THEIR CHALLENGES, ONE OF WHICH IS FINDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING, OTHER THAN MOM AND DAD'S PLACE AFTER THEY GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE WITH $500 TO $800 PER MONTH IN STUDENT LOANS . . . ONE OF THE DUDES ON THE EARLY MORNING TALK SHOW, SAID HE HAD HIS MILLENNIAL DAUGHTER AND HER BOYFRIEND, LIVING WITH THEM. DUDE PLAYS RENT, BUT DAD, SAID, THE BOYFRIEND WAS A BETTER SON TO HIM, THAT HIS OWN DAUGHTER IS, DAUGHTER! LOL. ALL KIDS ARE RAUNCHY WITH THEIR OWN PARENTS! LOL. HE SAID THE KID IS GOING TO COLLEGE, PAYING HIM RENT, IS ALWAYS TIMELY, BRINGS HIS DAUGHTER HOME, ON TIME AND IS GENERALLY A VERY RESPECTFUL KID. WE USED TO HAVE A NEIGHBORHOOD PRE-SCHOOL FOR ABOUT 6 KIDS, IN THE HOOD, WHO WERE ALL STARTING SCHOOL, AND INEVITABLY, WHICH EVER MOTHER, HELD THAT WEEK, PRE-SCHOOL, AT THEIR HOUSE, HAD A NIGHTMARE ON THEIR HANDS WITH THEIR OWN KID!

(D) MOVING IN WITH A SEXUAL PARTNER, SHARING THEIR HOUSE OR APARTMENT; (E) GETTING THEIR FIRST REAL JOB, AFTER, COLLEGE OR TRADE SCHOOL, SOME MAKING MORE MONEY THAN THEIR PARENTS! ALTHOUGH, RENT HAS GONE UP, AND, COST OF LIVING AND WAGES, HAVE NOT MOVED, WITH INFLATION! RENT IN SEATTLE, CAN GO FOR, $1600 TO $2300 FOR A FUCKING STUDIO APARTMENT, THAT IS ONLY 350 SQUARE FEET, OR BIG ENOUGH FOR A BED! BEST OF TIMES, WORST OF TIMES! (F) THE SKILLS THESE YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE MASTERED, PUT THEIR PARENTS TO SHAME . . . ONE OF THE HOSTS, SAID, HE WAS ON THE PLANE WITH THIS, EITHER HIGH SCHOOL, OR EARLY COLLEGE GIRL, SITTING IN THE MIDDLE, WHO HAD, A COMPUTER ON, APPEARED TO BE DOING HER HOMEWORK, HER PHONE PLAYING A MOVIE AT THE SAME TIME, AND, MUSIC GOING, PLUS, SOMETHING ELSE GOING! OLD DUDE NEXT TO HER, SAID, HE JUST HAD A MOVIE ON HIS PHONE. LOL. MULTI-TASKING, WITH DISTRACTIONS, IS A SKILL, NOW DAYS! WE SERIOUSLY, NEED TO DO SOMETHING, WITH, THE EXORBITANT RENT, IN SEATTLE AND SURROUNDING AREAS! TOTALLY RIDICULOUS! THE GOOD NEWS, IS SEATTLE, UNDER, MAYOR, JENNY DURKAN, IS PUTTING IN SOMETHING LIKE 1600 AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS IN THE CITY! GOD BLESS! HOWEVER, IN PIERCE, KING, AND ONE OTHER COUNTY, EMPLOYEES IN HOUSING RELATED, EMPLOYMENT, EMBEZZLED, $1.6 MILLION THAT SHOULD HAVE GONE TO HELP PEOPLE GET OFF THE STREETS!

THE FBI FUCKED MY HOUSING FOR ME! LOL. TWO INTERESTING MARRIAGE STORIES: (1) THE TOPIC OF THE MEN'S SHOW, WAS, HAVING SOMETHING GO IN YOUR MOUTH, THAT YOU DIDN'T WANT IN THEIR . . . THIS WENT FROM A BEE STING, TO A "WAR" CONCERT, WHERE, TWO WEEKS OF SEWER BACKUP, IN A BLUE TARP, BUSTED ON THE FACE OF SOME DUDE, TRYING TO GET RID OF IT, SAID IT MADE HIM STINK FOR 4 WEEKS! LOL. BUT, THIS ONE IS ABOUT LOVE . . . SOME CHICK AND DUDE, WERE DATING, HAD BEEN DRINKING "EVERCLEAR" FOR THE NIGHT, SHE GOT ON TOP OF HIM, AND THEY STARTED TO MAKE OUT, AND SHE BARFED RIGHT IN HIS MOUTH! LOL. I THOUGHT, I BET THAT IS THE LAST TIME, THOSE TWO GOT TOGETHER. NO, THEY ACTUALLY, GOT MARRIED, AND HAVE BEEN LIVING WITH EACH OTHER, FOUR BLISSFUL YEARS! AMAZING. LOVE CONQUERS ALL! (2) THEN, SOME DUDE, GOT A PHONE CALL FROM, HIS GIRLFRIEND OF 20 YEARS AGO, ONE HE HAD GROWN TO HATE. HE BROKE UP WITH HER, 2 YEARS BEFORE HE MET HIS WIFE, NOW OF 20 YEARS, AND ON THEIR WEDDING, GIFT STAND, OLD CHICK, PUT A SEX TAPE OF THE TWO, DOING 20 MINUTES OF BUMPING UGLIES! HE SAID, HE AND HIS NEW BRIDE, THOUGHT SOMEONE TOOK A VIDEO OF HIS AND HER WEDDING AND LEFT IF FOR THEM, SO THEY WATCHED IT! HOW MUCH OF IT? ALL 20 MINUTES. WAS YOUR NEW WIFE MAD? NO, SHE SAID, WHY DON'T YOU DO THOSE THINGS WITH ME? LOL. NOW THIS WOMAN, HAS SHOWED UP IN HIS LIFE AGAIN, CALLING ALL HIS FAMILY, MAKING HER PRESENCE KNOWN, AND HE DOESN'T APPRECIATE IT. DOES YOUR WIFE GET MAD? NO, YOU KNOW HOW GIRLS ARE, THEY, ALL BAND TOGETHER, AGAINST THE MAN! LOL. WHAT DOES SHE WANT A THREE-SOME? NO! MY WIFE KNOWS I HATE HER! LOL. FOOD FOR THOUGHT, NOW, SOME, "TRUE CRIME" I THOUGHT WERE APPROPRIATE FOR THE REST OF THE HOLIDAYS, BY WAY OF WARNING, AND TRAINING . . . OR JUST TO ENTERTAIN . . . NOT EVERYONE IS INTO LAW ENFORCEMENT, TYPE JOBS, BUT EVERYONE LOVES A GOOD MURDER MYSTERY! AT LEAST I AM NOT HER OR HIM! RIGHT?

SELF-IMPEACHING COP PLAYERS!

• interestingly enough, right after I got done, writing and posting my blog, having mentioned, my conversation with the stud-muffin, love struck, hot homeless tramp, who was willing to go to jail again, to see, the love of her life . . . like right!  I turned on, MSNBC, thinking I would get news, but not on Christmas!  DATELINE was on.  I just hit the tail end of the episode, called, THE SHADOW, a great one, for my case, with, three different dudes, in love with the same woman . . . one had successfully moved on, the other, ex, had not, and used the identity of the first guy, to frame him, using his i.d. in a carefully, planned plot, to murder the new man in his ex's life, making it look like the more, feisty, and hot tempered of the two, who had a rather, vitriolic and volatile, relationship with the young woman, rather than the calm, farmer, easy going, killer.
• THE SHADOW, has multiple layers of application to my case, from, chick doubles, shadowing me, using my I.D. to frame me for their crimes, and sins, but it also has merit, on the new boyfriend arena, where four men, I have been just attracted to, have, ended up either dead, or dropping off the face of the planet, as concerning me or me looking for them, right after, something got started with me!  I had an old boyfriend, dream last night, that was interesting, and one guy, who might have the kahunas, to tell the truth!

INTERNAL AFFAIRS

• in this case, you have a young, pair of overachievers, who met each other, in their first year of college, he went on to become a cop, after getting his criminal justice degree, she went on to get a master's degree, in something, but she was also, really good as a photographer, on the school newspaper, and she had just gotten a very prestigious award, that brought her some financial and academic accolades. The couple had known each other for I believe, four years, and had been steady dating, for all that time, and now they were engaged.  He worked in one town, and she worked or was going to college in another town, 30 or so minutes away.
• all the sudden, out the blue, one cold, November, morning, this young, black, female scholar, is shot down, in the stairwell of her apartment complex!  Her best friend in contacted, and she just can't believe it, thinks there is some kind of mistake, because, everybody loved this smart young women!  She at that point had what appeared to be the perfect life, ahead of her, with a loving fiance, a great career, and had all her goals, firmly in sight, and within reaching distance, when this happened.  Professors, shocked over the death, other students on campus, and friends, all gathered, from near and far, with her fiance being told, and on his way! 
• her parents were contacted, and nobody, could, think of anyone who would want to do harm to this woman?  Then, one witness, came forward and said he noticed, another, young black female, jumping in her, Maroon, SUV, driving off in a hurry.  Who could this be?  Nobody knew.  Now, everyone, but the mother of the dead, girl, liked, her daughter's fiance; however, she had reservations about him from the start, and always, would tell him that he had precious cargo with him, when he would pick her daughter up at home for a date, and reminded him, that she was trusting him, with her baby, or the love of her life, her daughter!  He always, took that challenge, serious, but the mother had lingering, thoughts about him.
• when the cops talked to this officer, he was straight forward, honest, didn't withhold any information, totally cooperated, and didn't think he had a thing to do with what happened, until the investigative, detectives mentioned, the Maroon, SUV, that appeared to be the get-away, car, was for the killer.  He mentioned that he had a woman, he briefly had an affair with, who also worked in the police department with, a dispatcher, but that affair had been over for 2 years?  But as detectives checked into the woman, they found out that she was a very, put together, person, too, a mother of two young children, reliable, and, smart, and when they interviewed her, she said she had nothing to do with the murder, of her old fling's, now fiance.
• as the cops did more and more digging into both the cops affair, they found out that what was first, just a flirtatious attraction, turned, physical, fast and resulted in an unplanned pregnancy! What caught the detectives attention, was the fact, that the girl had an abortion, because, the cop, said he would never have a baby with, someone like her!  The fiance, never knew about the affair, nor the baby and abortion.
• it took three years for the detectives to try to unravel, this story, where it started, where it went, with both girls, being, top notch and the cop too!  All had loving supportive parents who were sure their child had nothing to do with the murder.  The chick started to blame the dude, and he blamed her, or said, she was the one seen at the crime scene, fleeing from the dead girl, laying at the bottom of the stairs at the apartment complex!  She said that he put her up to killing his fiance, as I recall, with dinner and all going on at Sophia's place, actual cops coming and going, the mother of two, said that, the cop, actually, threatened her, gave her the gun, and told her that if she didn't kill his fiance, he would kill her, that he got away with it once, and he could again!  The accused, chick, said she had, this cop, recorded, threatening her, but the judge, the jury, didn't believe it was his voice . . . his was deep, and the dude on the phone had a lighter, higher voice.
• eventually, the chick took the witness stand in her own, defense, but the jury didn't buy it and she was sentenced from 25 to life!  Five years after, this chick went to prison for killing a woman, she never even met, again, she said, that the cop put her up to the killing of his fiance?  The detectives didn't find, her change of facts, to be, reliable, and said, why didn't he just break up with her?  There was two years between, the affair and the engagement, so?  The mother and father of the convicted, are trying to find, voice recognition specialists, to state that this was, in fact the cop's voice on the tape, threatening their daughter?  Stranger Things . . . 
• in all fairness to the cop, who seemed like a really nice guy, at the time he had the affair, he was not engaged, but, it sounds, like, he was pretty committed to the chick for years, and never should have messed around with the office, worker, at dispatch, playing her heart, too.  Did, this chick threaten to come clean with, the fiance? did he get pissed? did he really threaten her?  That sounds, plausible to me!  She was gong to tell his girl of the affair, so, he forced her, or he would kill her, if she didn't kill the other chick . . . she even claimed that he was with her in her SUV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Again, that could be possible.  
• the mother of the victim, said her daughter's killer was so confident, getting on the witness stand, taking her own defense, against, most, recommendations of the Defense Attorney's Bible in criminal law.  The jury only took, a day to deliberate and found her guilty on all counts!  Maybe the pair together thought, they could get away with murder, between being cops and the two year break?  Did the affair start up again?  The mother thought, that this chick the killer, was so jealous, of these two, seeing that he didn't want to have her baby, but, being engaged to this long time girlfriend, he would want her baby, by putting a ring on her finger?  The murder did happen after the two had just gotten engaged?  So it was not real to this chick, until, he actually did put a ring on it, like Beounce' said to do . . . If you like it, put a ring on it!
• IF YOU DON'T DEAL WITH REALITY, REALITY WILL DEAL WITH YOU!  SAD, CASE, THREE, TOP NOTCH, PEOPLE, CAUGHT IN A LOVERS, TRIANGLE THAT NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED!  PEOPLE'S HEARTS ARE NOT TO BE PLAYED, TOYED WITH, NOR ARE EMOTIONS REMOVED FROM EVEN THE MOST SOPHISTICATED, PERSON, WHO HAS IT TOGETHER IN SO MANY OTHER WAYS!

I WANT A MISTRESS FOR CHRISTMAS!  HE WAS ON THE NAUGHTY LIST!  DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ON STEROIDS!  THE TEN STEPS TO MURDER!  THE HOLIDAYS, BRING ABOUT MORE TIME, MORE ALCOHOL, AND MORE OPPORTUNITY TO MIX IT UP WITH OTHERS AT PARTIES AND FAMILY GATHERINGS!  WARNING, BE CAREFUL!

• older man in his 60's, former, Marine for the Brits, stayed in shape and got involved with, combat training of the local militia, and, was considered, somewhat of a celebrity, in his own right, still, strong, and handsome . . . but to his demise . . .
• dude had been married to this woman, named Anne for years, both in their 60's, with one son, who was about 27 or so.  The son said, that the two loved to drink, and early in the evenings, they would share the alcohol, but at the night wore on, they would fight, and then go to bed.  Overall his memories in the family were happy.
• at some point, this older man, started working, on the side in a pawn shop, and came in contact with an attractive, 20 or 30 something, and he introduced his son to her, and they became, boyfriend and girlfriend.  Dear old dad, had come from a very macho, upbringing, where men ruled, and he had long subdued his wife, Anne, who was a shadow of the woman she had been before, meeting him.  At one point, there was an incident, between the two, where, he took out a rifle, and shot at Anne's head, almost hitting her, leaving he bullet in the wall, and often, using the gun to put down any resistance from her, over the years.
• dear old dad, starts to flirt, with his son's girlfriend, whom he works with.  She rejects him and brushes him off.  He is not going to take no for an answer, he has his eyes on her and he wants her, no matter what this does to his son, or his wife, by way  of hurt feelings.  He starts to send her, pornographic pictures of himself, from younger years, body building years, and slowly, he keeps trying to seduce her and keeps making advances on her, and she gives in.  Their affair lasts for about 6 months, then, the son, starts to notice, this distance, between, him and his now wife, with a child, and sees, something between, her and his father!
• they cut off the relationship, but dad, continues, to fantasize about getting her back, under his spell, he takes pictures of her, and pastes them on porn pictures of women, and spends tons of time, thinking about her and even obsessing about her.  Anne also, starts to notice the connection between the pair, and she, gets into his cell phone, guesses, his password, thinking it might have something to do with the Marines, and it does.  She confronts him, with the affair, and, the alcohol night, gets, fueled into a violent, confrontation between this military trained husband and this, somewhat out of shape, wife, when he puts a military style choke hold on his wife and he kills her!
• he waits an hour, before he calls the cops . . . then, he calmly states that he has just killed his wife.  the cops are shocked by the call, and by his calm demeanor.  Then, he recants his confession and game on!  To make a long story, short, the son, of course is horrified to find out that, his father, killed his mom, whom he loved and had just that day, told he loved her, and they gave each other a big hug!  The son said it was the worst day of his life . . . he knew he was, going to lose his father, had lost his mother, and was losing the grandparents of his child!
• the husband, later called, it self-defense, that she attacked him with a butcher knife and all he did was defend himself!  Everybody, knew this small framed woman, didn't have a chance against him, nor would she be likely to attack him, knowing how strong, he was, and trained, so the jury, nor the judge, gave any credit to the story, and even if it was, self defense the husband was plenty strong enough to have fought her off, taken the knife, and there was not need to put the choke hold on her, and kill her.

LET'S HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR, ONE AND ALL, THIS NEW DECADE!

WATCH THE ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION!

PLAN ACTIVITIES!

AVOID FIGHTS!

COME UP WITH A PLAN JUST IN CASE YOU DO . . . WHERE DO WE GO TO COOL OFF?

RARELY WAS THERE AN INCIDENT OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, THAT THERE WAS NOT ALCOHOL, OR DRUGS, INVOLVED!

GET PLENTY OF SLEEP.

TREAT YOURSELVES WELL!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

P.S., Christmas afterglow . . . one of the great things about living in America, where, not everybody is the same, religion, or Christian is, that, not everyone wants, Christmas off!  Perfect.  In the movie last night, "Santa Claus," Tim Allen, screws up his attempt at cooking, Christmas Eve Dinner, so he takes his son, to Denny's, always open, an American tradition . . . the whole front room, in the diner, there are ASIANS!
LOL.
Last night, going to the Lighthouse, that is connected to what was for the most part, a church for Asians, now for everyone, is that I saw the hidden, Asain Shopping Center, down, below the Library and the Lighthouse, and, all the Asian eating joints were OPEN!

I'LL HAVE TO KEEP THAT IN MIND, NEXT YEAR!

PERFECT.
