knock knock knockin' on heaven's door

please play while reading...

this photo is painful for me...here i am receiving the news that my aquatic friend passed away last night. clearly i was at a loss for words. inconsolable.

we had been together for almost 3 years. we kept each other company when the fam was on vacations and we even made the move together to the new house in july. his bowl was strapped in the front seat with the seatbelt. i was in the carrier. our friendship was unlike any other cat/fish relationship. there was very little he could do in the way of fun since he lived in a bowl. but we understood each other. he shared his water with me. he danced for his food and entertained us all. if i could drive a car, i would go get another fish.

in lieu of flowers, just bring me something.

rest in peace, captain burrito.

fyi 4 eyes

if i couldn't read teeny tiny print anymore on things like, say...

tubes of lipgloss
mascara
dosages on the bottles of things like extra-strength tylenol

i would sport a pair of these. (diggin' the hat too)

just sayin'...

let me clear my throat.

been a busy week. hanging out here and traveling back to my old hood a few times. last night they had to chase me to catch me. i'm home today but this is what i am gonna do the next time someone chases me up the street. they know who's boss.

candidates

if i had a pinterest account, i would not be obsessed and i would only have one pin board. and it would have photos of potential friends. here are some i would consider:

this one because he looks like a serious napper. i'm into that.

he looks like he would share and be nice.

both of these look nice too.

no comment. except that i know i could boss him around.

a soul mate.

another soul mate.

sweet but too small to keep up with me.

love him!

and last is this guy. he's not a cat but i think i could make an exception. like the attitude.

peace out.

do i have anything in my teeth?

i love to floss.  dentists recommend that you do it daily.  here's how...

walk this way

this is how i looked as i was walking out the door on wednesday morning....nonchalant...eyes fixed so that no one would suspect or notice my purposeful gait. i'm good.

yes, this is what i did when everyone left me at home alone ...all day...for the first time since we have moved. somehow i sensed that it was coming (school is starting again) so i made a run for it when i went out for my morning...you know. this time i was gone for more than 24 hours. left them all alone last night. took them 4 trips to find me this time.

so if you need to make a point, this is what i would do. i am tired tonight.
buenas noches,

the 411 (special back to school edition)

it's back to school time. here are my top 5 pieces of advice for keepin' it real at school this year:

1. just say "no". (or "yes".)

2. be yourself (if you have to be.)

3. remember that you are a winner. (even if you let your parents down.)

4. ask for forgiveness rather than permission.

5. and let's be honest, nobody likes an overachiever. (70 is a passing grade.)

you're welcome,

don't hate the playa. hate the game.

i was photo of the week this week. seems my photo started a string of outrageous comments on facebook from fans that love me...and find themselves quite witty.

so here's a little nugget for you. let's not forget who the real star is in all of this. while all of my fans are appreciated (along with their clever wit), this is about me. not your "purrrfectly" funny anecdotes. don't forget it.
love ya,

"and when you smile for the camera, i know they're gonna love it"

i guess if i had a fancy computer and could manipulate photos with all different kinds of effects, i would squeeze the life out of my pet too and force him to be still while i took photos in front of the giant screen...because they would be so darn cute!

emily likes to take funny photos with all of her friends. if she can trap me in her room, i am included in the session. i do let her get away with just about anything though. no one else can pick me up and me put on their shoulders like a fireman rescuing a dog or make me wear a hat, but em. after all, she is the one that found me at petland.

some of our photos...

i was not harmed in any way during these sessions.

anger management

making my mad face.

i went to see my friends yesterday and was picked up and brought back to my new home at midnight last night. the fun was just getting started over there. don't they realize if i can find my way over there, i can find my way back to my new habitat? when i'm ready.

roaaaaarrrrrrrrrr.

art appreciation

what would i do on a rainy day if i was bored? (assuming that i even get bored.)

maybe go to a museum if i could walk there and get in. for now, i'll just hoist myself (or have someone put me) on this ledge and pose in front of this.

wind beneath my wings

i went back to my old hood today. i stayed all day until they came to get me in the car. i got in the back seat, like routine, and rode back to my new home. it's not that i'm not happy here. just still looking for friends.

this is all i have for now. thankful for him.
