MAGGOT HATS. SHELLEY IS USING "JOAN" AS MY NAME, RATHER THAN, JOANN! YEAH. ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT, AS TRUMP PROVES, HIS ALLEGIANCE, TO RUSSIA WITH SERGI LAVEROV, IN THE WHITE HOUSE! ABUSE OF POWER & OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE. SHELLEY SKULKING THE HALLS OF CONGRESS? I'M IN BELLEVUE, WASHINGTON, AT SOPHIA'S PLACE FOR LUNCH! LOL. PA'S ME IS A LACKLUSTER, BOOMSHELL! CABBAGE PATCH DOLL SALESLADY IN THE SENATE BACK ROOM CIGAR SMOKING, MORMON JOKING, ROOMS! LOL. MSNBC 11:10 AM PT. JOKE! SEEK & SMILE. BE AMAZING. LET YOUR CREATIVITY FLY! FUN & UNIQUE CHRISTMAS GIFTS. THE MOST INTENSE. UNBEATABLE FRESHNESS. SEATTLE IS THE CITY OF STARS. SPORTS ILLUSTRATED SPORTSPERSON OF THE YEAR? SEATTLE FC REIGN, SUPER STAR AND CAPTAIN, ALSO WORLD CUP SOCCER WINNER, MEGAN RAPINO! PINK HAIR. FUCK NO TO WHITE HOUSE VISIT WITH TRUMP. TOOK A KNEE WITH COLIN KAEPERNICK ON RACIAL JUSTICE. FIGHTING FOR PAY EQUALITY FOR FEMALE SOCCER STARS, WHO BRING IN JUST AS MUCH MONEY IN TICKET SALES AS THE MEN, IF NOT MORE--WORLD CUP GALS! FLASHY EGO AND GESTURES ON THE FIELD. THIS CHICK IS COOL! TO SAY THE LEAST! SOCCER AND SOCIAL JUSTICE, USING HER VENUE AND STAR POWER TO CHANGE THE WORLD! "I UNDERSTAND THE (IDEA) THAT IT'S UN-AMERICAN TO CRITICIZE OUR COUNTRY," RAPINO SAID, "THAT'S WHAT AN OPEN DEMOCRACY IS ABOUT--CIVIL DISCOURSE AND BEING ABLE TO PROTEST. CLEARLY, WE ARE NOT PERFECT. UNTIL WE ADDRESS THE PROBLEMS WE HAVE, ITS NOT GOING TO BE BETTER." ABSOLUTE JUICE! RAPINO CHALLENGES HER MALE PEERS AND COLLEAGUES IN THE SOCCER WORLD, RANALDO AND MASSI, TO JOIN IN TOGETHER WITH HER TO END RACIAL AND SEXUAL INEQUALITY IN THEIR SPORT. FREE WOMEN. FREE MEN! ALMOST. ALMOST. ALMOST. ALMOST. READY! BE FUCKING AMAZING MEGAN! LOVE. EVERY ISSUE FROM CLIMATE CHANGE, TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING, TO WORLD HUNGER CAN'T GET ENOUGH PEOPLE JOINING IN AND TAKING UP THE MANTLE OF IMPROVING THE HUMAN CONDITION FOR ALL OF US ON THIS PLANET--WE DON'T HAVE A PLANET B! GREAT ARTICLE IN THE SEATTLE TIMES OPINION PAGE ON MILLENNIALS! LOOK AT IT THIS WAY--WE BOOMERS, GEN XERS, DID AND HAVE HAD IT EASIER THAN, THIS NEW CROP OF PERSONS ON EARTH; HOWEVER, REMEMBER, THAT YOU LIVE IN THE BEST OF TIMES AND THE WORST OF TIMES! THERE IS SO MUCH MORE, YOU CAN DO WITH SO MUCH LESS EFFORT AND STRAIN, THAN WE COULD BACK IN THE DAY. I REMEMBER, SEEING MY SON-IN-LAW, WRITING A CLASS PAPER FOR HIS MASTER'S DEGREE IN COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE AND TERRORISM, BEING AMAZED, AT HOW EASY MAKING JUST FOOTNOTES WERE! OR CORRECTING, GRAMMAR AND SPELLING! WE USED TO HAVE TO GUESS, HOW MANY LINES, OF FOOTNOTES, WE NEEDED, BEFORE WE EVEN WROTE THE PAPER, OR PAGE, HAVING TO CUT AND PASTE, RE-TYPE, NOT ON COMPUTERS, BUT ON SELECTRIC TYRE WRITERS! AS AN ENGLISH MAJOR, HOW MANY, SLEEPLESS NIGHTS, WITH FOUR LITTLE KIDS, FINISHING A TERM PAPER, AFTER THE CUT AND PASTE JOB, THEN, TRUDGING DOWN TO KINKO'S OR FEDEX, TO RUN OFF COPIES, COVERING WHITE OUT, AND OTHER ERRORS, THAT MIGHT REQUIRE, ME TYPING OVER THAT PAGE, EVEN LEADING TO TYPING OVER THE REST OF THE PAPER! NOW, WITH A CLICK OF THE MOUSE, A TERM PAPER IS TURNED IN, WHEN, WE USED TO AGAIN, HAVE TO GET UP, SCRAP OFF THE SNOW, NO REMOTE SEAT WARMERS AND HEAT TURNED ON FROM A COZY WARM HOUSE! THEN, FIND PARKING ON CAMPUS, AND, GET BACK BEFORE THE KIDS WOKE UP AND, BREAKFAST NEEDED TO BE ON, AND GET THE KIDS OFF TO SCHOOL! BEING AMAZING NOW DAYS IS SO MUCH EASIER! LOL. ALL AGES HAVE HAD THEIR CHALLENGES! WITHOUT STRUGGLES, THERE IS NOT STRENGTH! WE LIVE IN AN EXCITING ERA OF BRINGING IT ALL HOME! ONE OF THE REASONS I LOVE THE SCRIPTURES, ARE THE ANALOGIES, CHRIST USED, THAT MAKE SO MUCH SENSE TO LIFE . . . CASE IN POINT, THE ANALOGY OF THE WORLD, BEING LIKE THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND SEEING EACH, PART OF THE BODY, BEING, NECESSARY, FOR THE WHOLE BODY TO BE WELL AND FUNCTION! THERE ARE SOME WHO ARE HEAD PEOPLE, NERDS, BRAINIACS, AND OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE HANDS ON PEOPLE, WHO BUILD, CREATE, SERVE, AND THEN, THEIR ARE THOSE WHO CARRY TREMENDOUS BURDENS, ON THEIR BACKS, AND LEGS THAT WALK ISSUES ON HOME, ETC. WE ARE IN A SITUATION TODAY, ALL CONNECTED, ALL RISING AND FALLING TOGETHER, THAT, WE "HAVE" TO LEARN TO TRUST, RELY, AND DEPEND, ON THE COOPERATION OF EVERYONE, ALL COUNTRIES, AND, THE INTELLIGENCE, CREATIVITY, AND MENTAL HEALTH, OF ALL MANKIND, TO SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS! THERE IS NOT NEED FOR JEALOUSY, FOR TERRITORIALISM, FOR POWER STRUGGLES, OR SMALL MINDEDNESS! JUST LIKE THERE IS ALWAYS ROOM AT THE TOP, FOOT SOLDIERS ARE JUST AS NECESSARY TO A MOVEMENT, NO MATTER HOW BIG OR HOW SMALL! THERE ARE THOSE OF US, WHO ARE GENERALISTS, AND CAN BE USED TO PUT A MESSAGE OUT TO THE WORLD, AND OTHERS, WHO KNOW EVERY DETAIL, STATISTIC, AND RATIONAL, BEHIND, SOMETHING, LIKE CLIMATE CHANGE! ALL ARE NEEDED AND NO ONE MORE IMPORTANT THAT THE OTHER, ALL PLAYING A CRITICAL ROLE, IN MAKING OUR WORLD A BETTER PLACE FOR ALL! I LOVE THE PASSION OF YOUTH, THE ENERGY, BUT WITHOUT BEING TEMPERED BY THE EXPERIENCE OF THE AGES, THEY CAN QUICKLY RUN AFOUL! IT WILL TAKE US ALL! UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL! THAT USED TO JUST BE TRUE FOR THE UNITED STATES, OR COUNTRY TO COUNTRY, THAT IS NO LONGER THE CASE! THE WORLD IS LIKE AN OMELETTE, SCRAMBLED, EGGS, TO HOLD IT TOGETHER, CHEESE, HAM, PEPPERS, TOMATOES, SAUSAGE, BACON, ETC. TO SEPARATE THE ENTIRETY OF THE WHOLE, WOULD DESTROY THE FLAVORS, TEXTURE AND TASTE OF THE PRODUCT! WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER. THERE ARE PEOPLE, WHO HAVE WORKED ON THESE SAME ISSUES FOR DECADES, AND THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS, EXPERIENCE, PIONEER SPIRIT, NEEDS TO BE RECOGNIZED AND SOUGHT OUT. WE ARE TIRED, AND NEED THE ENERGY AND PASSIONS OF YOUTH, TO TAKE UP THE MANTLE OF JUSTICE, FREEDOM, DEMOCRACY, RIGHTS, HUMAN RIGHTS, CLEAN AIR AND WATER, EDUCATION, HEALTHCARE, ETC. I HAVE PERSONALLY, BEEN, SOUGHT OUT AND LATTER SHUNNED, WHEN, SOME LEADER OF A MOVEMENT, FEELS THREATENED, RATHER THAN, SEEING ME AS A PERSON WITH A MASSIVE GENERAL KNOWLEDGE AND A BACKGROUND AND DEGREE, THAT LENDS POWER, UNDERSTANDING, PERSUASION, AND, ARGUMENT, FOR, THIS OR THAT, NOT THERE TO UPSTAGE, OR STEAL, OR COMPETE, OR STEP ON YOUR HEAD TO GET TO THE TOP! I HAVE LEARNED THAT NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED! A SAD COMMENTARY WHEN SO MUCH NEEDS TO BE DONE! THE THREE AND FOUR STAR GENERALS, WHO APPROACHED ME, ABOUT 4 OR 5 YEARS AGO, CONCERNED ABOUT THIS NEW WORLD ORDER, OR A SECRET AGENDA, GOING ON IN THE BACK-CHANNELS, OF GOVERNMENT, AND COUNTRIES, IF NOT, IN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE MILITARY, HAD THE KNOWLEDGE, OF THE POWER STRUCTURE, TO SUBVERT NATIONS, CONSTITUTIONS, LEGISLATURES, COURTS, EVEN PRESIDENTS, AND OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT, ENTITIES, THAT ARE NOW BEING USED, FOR GREAT PURPOSES, IN EACH COUNTRY, TO STOP CRIME, CORRUPTION, ETC. I HAD THE VOICE, THE VEHICLE, THE LOUD MOUTH, THE BLOG, TO SPREAD THEIR MESSAGE AND WARNING ALL OVER THE WORLD! BOTH CONTRIBUTED TO WHAT THEY HAD TO OFFER! THE OTHER DAY, THERE WAS A DISCUSSION, AND A YOUNG GIRL, IN HER 20'S, PIPPED UP AND SAID, DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE NEW WORLD ORDER OR THE NEW GEOPOLITICAL ORDER . . . SARCASTICALLY, I SAID, "ONLY BEFORE YOU WERE BORN!" YOUTH SHOULD NOT ASSUME, THEY HAVE DISCOVERED, MUCH NEW UNDER THE SUN, AND, US OLD FOLKS, NEED TO GIVE THEM THE LATITUDE AND LEEWAY TO LEARN, GROWN, CHALLENGE, AND CHAMPION ISSUES, WE HAVE ONLY SCRATCHED THE SURFACE, AND STARTED TO MAKE MOVEMENT ON. HOLD HANDS AROUND THE GLOBE! TOO MUCH GRETA ON CLIMATE CHANGE? FUCK NO! WE NEED THE VOICES OF YOUTH FROM, ACROSS THE PLANET TO FIX THIS NIGHTMARE! WE ALL COME FROM DIFFERENT REGIONS ON EARTH, WITH DIFFERENT PROBLEMS, FROM, DIFFERENT CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES! EVERYONE HAS A STORY! ONE PERSON MIGHT TOUCH, A PARTICULAR SEGMENT OF THE POPULATION AND THE NEXT, AND ENTIRELY, DIFFERENT, POPULATION CENTER! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! NOW FOR THE IMPORTANT STUFF! LOL. MEET ME IN THE FIRE HOLE BELOW! JUST REMEMBER, YOUNG SEATTLE AREA KIDS, BOOMERS, USED KAYAKS, TO BACK, SHELL OIL RIG IN THE SOUND, OUT WITH, LITTLE TINY BOATS! PRETTY DAMNED COOL! IT TAKES ALL OF US!

SEAHAWKS STILL HAVE A 98% CHANCE OF GOING TO THE PLAYOFFS!

YOU KNOW WHAT, AFTER THE RIGOROUS SCHEDULE, MOST ON PRIME TIME, THE HYPE, THE DRILL TEAM, IT WAS, ABOUT TIME FOR THE TEAM TO GROW A BIT TIRED, AND, SPORTS, ANNOUNCERS, SAID, THAT, WHEN YOU HAVE A TEAM LIKE THE RAMS, WHO ARE FIGHTING FOR THEIR PLAYOFF, LIVES, THIS SEASON, AND THE HAWKS, ALMOST GUARANTEED, A SPOT, HISTORY SAYS, THAT, LOSE WAS ALMOST A GIVEN!

PLUS, NOT ONLY WERE THE PLAYERS, A BIT, DOWN, AND UNCHARACTERISTICALLY, BLUE AND GREEN, ON THE FACE, BUT THE 12'S, THE FANS, WERE!

I KEPT LOOKING AROUND, SAM'S TAVERN, AT THE LOW ENERGY, THE LACKLUSTER, EVEN THE DJ COULDN'T, ROCK US OUT OF . . . JUST KIND OF A LULL, IN ENTHUSIASM!

WE ALL NEED TO REGROUP, GET THOSE, TAILGATE PARTIES, AND HOME NEIGHBORHOOD GANGS, AMPED UP FOR THIS NEXT GAME!

WE WERE ALL JUST AS OFF AS THE TEAM!

IT IS NOT HOW LOW YOU FALL, BUT HOW HIGH YOU BOUNCE UP THAT COUNTS!

LET'S GET SOME ENERGY GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES!

QUANTUM PHYSICS HAVE PROVEN THAT, FAN ENERGY, REALLY DOES HELP A TEAM, THAT IS WHY HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE IS SO POWERFUL!

REDISCOVER THE SOURCE!

NO, I AM NOT, TRYING TO TAKE THE PLACE OF SPORTS WRITERS!

I KNOW A LITTLE, NOT A LOT ABOUT FOOTBALL!

BE AMAZING, SEAHAWKS, AND SEAHAWKS FANS, SELF INCLUDED!

FUN AND UNIQUE!

ROCKIN' AROUND CENTURY LINK, WE GOTTA GET IT GOING ON!

GO TEAM, GO SEATTLE!

GO SEAHAWKS!

P.S., I JUST TURNED ON, MSNBC, JAKE SHERMAN WAS BEING INTERVIEWED ON THE SENATE'S REACTION TO THE DEMS IN THE HOUSE RELEASING THE "ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT" . . . LOW AND BEHOLD, WHO IS STANDING AGAINST THE BACK WALL, TALKING TO A MAN WITH A BALDING HAIR AND SUIT, AND SOME CHICK WITH SHORTER HAIR, SHELLEY IS ROCKING BACK AND FORTH, LIKE, SHE HAD A BABY IN HER ARMS, BUT SHE HAD PAPERS OR FOLDERS!

DO NOT LET HER "USE" MY POWER, CAREER, EXPERIENCE, NAME, AND LAW DEGREE, TO BE IN THE SENATE AND PRESIDENT'S SIDE, BECAUSE, I AM NOT, AND THAT IS HOW THEY ARE GETTING THINGS DONE, USING MY POWER!

YIELD TO THE LAW!
IDENTITY THEFT IS A CRIME!
SHE IS A FELON!
ARREST HER!

FUCK?

SHE MIGHT BE THE PRESIDENT'S SECRET POLYGAMIST WIFE, AGAIN A FELONY, BUT, SHE, IS PLAYING SHE IS  ME, AND PUTTING MY WEIGHT ON THE PRESIDENT'S SIDE AND THE GOP!

FUCK NO!

11:10 AM, MSNBC!
GET ON IT!
PLEASE.
