| I'm heartbroken! |

This is the end,
Beautiful friend.
This is the end,
My only friend, the end.
Of elaborate plans, the end,
Of everything that stands,
the end.
No safety or surprise, the end,
I'll never look into your eyes ... again.
In 1969, Jim Morrison of the Doors sang this tune during one of my early lives. It was haunting then, and still leaves a defined impression of emptiness and sorrow.
It is exactly what
I'm feeling inside.
Rich has pulled the plug. He's beginning to sound like a television executive saying, "When the ratings are low, the showcase must go!"
(sob, sob) The ratings were low, and so I must go.
No, he's not making me leave the family. At least, not for the present. I think he loves me ... but I'm too hurt to see it much right now. In fact, while chasing my tail the other night, I thought, "If I could swallow this thing, I could eat myself and disappear!"
It didn't work. I'm still here, suffering deep inside. Damn! There's times I really hate being a woman ... even if I am a cat!
I know I got carried away a little in the beginning and touched a sore spot in some of the mommies. (I think it was the "P.O.P. thing,") I went over that line that Rich says is the difference between crudeness and good taste.
How the hell was I to know where it was? He never showed me the road map!

| I'm so sad. I'm so depressed. My kids are gone. My blog is gone. Just let me lay on the cold tile floor and die! At least until dinner time! |
Rich says he's got something else planned for Monday mornings that will bring in more views and followers. He also says that he might bring me back from time to time as a guest poster. Rich says a lot of things. I haven't seen an invitation as of yet for any further chances to talk to my lady friends! What does that tell you?
Some of you have been so sweet. And, some of you have even invited me to meet your kitties, or to come live with you. Believe me, I've been considering the offers! He's really ticked me off by cancelling my ladder to fame!
And, would you believe that not even me barging into the bathroom and badgering him
every morning has changed his mind!
He's just really being an ass about this!

| It's no good, Faletame! I'm depressed ... it's a woman thing. You just wouldn't understand. |
To all my friends, I hope you'll pester Rich in the future so we can once again be together. Remember, I'm going to miss all of you, but will forever hold each of you and your families in my heart (which Rich says doesn't exist most of the time). Oh oh, here come the tears. I've got to go!
Luv Y'all! Take Care!
It hurts to set you free,
But you'll never follow me.
The end of laughter and soft lies,
The end of nights we tried to die.
This is the end.
Give this a listen for a real mood swing.
The Doors
"The End"
Sad to see Gabriela go, but interested in seeing Rich what can replace her!! Have a great Monday and sure you got something wickedly awesome up your sleeve now!! :)
ReplyDeleteJanine - You've been one of my strongest supporters, dahrling! I really don't know what Rich is going to come up with. It wouldn't surprise me to see him go off the deep end with something as much as he's been working lately! All I can say is that he's ending my time ... so, not needing to keep my gorgeous body any longer, I'm going to eat all the Little Friskies I can and just get fat ... ter. lol Take care!
DeleteAww...Gabriela is so sweet and I know she'd get along so well with my Pepe, and I hope to see guest posts soon. Can't wait to hear what you've got in store for Mondays. I also wish you a little rest and relaxation after working 85 hours last week. That makes me tired just thinking about it, lol.
ReplyDeleteCyndi - My dear, you're the sweet one! I'd love to meet Pepe! Just one question, "He hasn't been through the vet's planned parenthood operation like Faletame has ... has he?" I'm sure Rich is gonna surprise some folks with his Monday replacement to my blog, but he hasn't shared anything with me. I guess he figured if I knew, I'd tell! Dahrling, I've never kissed and told before, but kissing off and telling might not have been a good idea! lol Take care!
DeleteI agree with Janine, can't wait to see what comes next!
ReplyDeleteMary - Dahrling, Gabriela here! I've missed you! And here you are coming to my going away party! Couldn't resist a party, huh? lol I know Rich is working an awful lot recently, so he's talking about starting his new idea later in the month. Can you believe he didn't let me blog until he was ready? So, unheard of, dear! Oh well, glad you could stop by! Take Care!
DeleteAwe... tell Gabriela she is in our thoughts! :)
ReplyDeleteStacy - And, you dear, are in my thoughts! I'm gonna miss you and everyone else who have been so nice to me ... unlike Rich! I just don't know what more I could've done to make him happy with my blogs. Maybe if I would have talked up the Indiana University basketball team! It would have bored the daylights out of you and everyone else, but I'm sure Rich would have loved it. Oh well, too late now. Will miss you, so take care!
DeleteOw, we will miss Gabby. Do bring her back to see us once in a while! Thanks for sharing, Richard!

Michelle - Hello my sweet friend! I'll do my best to get back, but Rich is sometimes very hard to convince. I may have to go back to my demon days to start him thinking about it. Oh, Rich says, "Thanks for the link!" See ya later, dear! Take Care!
DeleteOh no Gabriela! I'm crushed....I enjoyed your posts. I hope Rich lets you blog again every now and then. She has some talent, that one. I can't wait to see what you've got in store for Mondays though! :)
ReplyDeleteMelanie - Oh, my South African buddy, is it my leaving that's crushing, or is gravity heavier on the bottom half of the world? lol I'm sorry, just trying to make a joke to smile a little. This whole thing has indeed been crushing to me, too! I'm gonna miss you, even though you do seem to prefer dogs. Hopefully, if you pester Rich a little, he might bring me back upon occasion. I'm sure I'm better than whatever he has up his sleeve. Take Care!
DeleteHi there Gabriela! I'm going to miss your posts! I will continue to enjoy Rich's production whatever it might be, but I hope to see you as a guest, at least! Have a good day nd take care! (Don't get too fat, it's not healthy!)
ReplyDeleteJoan, Joan, I feel so alone. I'm gonna miss you, too! Rich even skipped FTSF last week because he's been so busy, and I missed seeing your blog. I keep telling him he's too busy to start something different, and to just let me keep doing the Monday thing, but he's a little concerned about what people are thinking about sharing his blog with me. So, he's gonna do what he's gonna do! Keep pestering him for me, dahrling. I really do want to see you again! Take Care!
DeleteGoodbye Gabriela! Don't be too sad, you won't have to worry about primping for photos anymore. And you can always slip post ideas to Rich without him even knowing...just say it like this "didn't you say you were thinking of writing a post about cat nip and it's negative side effects? I think that is a great idea and your readers will love it". He'll never even notice you are working him...
ReplyDeleteSherry - Oh, you are so shrewd! You've guessed what I've known for ages, that Rich isn't as smart as he thinks he is! lol I've tried telling his wife that, but would you believe she just puts up her index finger to her lips and goes, "Shhhh". (I think she may already know it.) I'll do as you say, but I could sure use your help in getting Rich to bring me back from time to time. Take Care!
DeleteAw sweet Gabriela! Just get on the computer when Rich is sleeping. I'm sure he'll be much too busy (lazy) to actually check and see whether his own post is the latest post. Use your cat-shrewdness and work around him. After all, how hard can it be?
ReplyDeleteOh and I feel like I learned something new today because I was previously unaware that cats could actually cry. Your photo proves me wrong. This information is sure to come in handy during a trivia session. Or something.
By the way, love your depression song. Thanks for the mood altering fix.
Kristi - Oh, dahrling, it's so good to see another friend that knows just how bad Rich really is! Would you believe that SOB actually changes his passwords faster than he eats! I'd love to have full access to the computer, but he's really getting picky ... ever since that P.O.P. thing. I don't know why he got so uptight, we all know we use it! Honey, I'm crying on the inside as well as the outside. I hope you win your trivia game in the future. Jim Morrison was always a fav of mine. I heard he even considered talking about the "Kittie Queen" instead of the "Lizard King", but Ray Manzarek talked him out of it. Oh well, another claim to fame destroyed by a man! Grrrr! Thanks for writing, dear! Take Care!
DeleteI was one of your true fans Gabriela, but it sounds like you were the victim of low site stats...and as every good blogger knows, we live and die by that stuff. (although I usually forget to check mine). I think your guest posts sound great so make sure you tell Rich I vote for that. In the meantime, I hope you get plenty of catnip!
ReplyDeleteEmily - Hello my wine drinking friend! Pour me a bowl quick ... I think I need to get drunk. These "low stat" things you humans live by are crazy things. I'm lovable, sweet, beautiful, and smarter than the average kittie. That should keep me in my Monday slot. But Noooooooo! It's a numbers thing. Oh well, I know you're a good friend and really care, I just get mad at Rich. Hopefully, he'll let me come back from time to time. Luv ya dear! Take Care!
