The Real Housewives of In-Sync Exotics

Well folks....the Hollywood/Reality machine has finally come knocking on our door.  It seems that the reality show has contacted several of our lovely ladies in the neighborhood about starring in the reality TV show. 

Bravo has called, emailed and interviewed:
Kshama
BB
Jasmine
Sheila
Cherokee
Mercedes
Jynxie
Kaiya
Lucca
Crimson

I was dumbfounded at the number of our ladies they wanted on the show.  BB told me that Bravo wanted this to be their biggest show to date.  I smell a ratings blitz!

They also spoke with Lydia, Emma, Iona, Duchess, and Nefie but they all polietly declined the offer to star in the show.  I believe Nefie was a bit more outspoken from what I was told *chuckles*.  Gotta love that girl, she's a spitfire, or should I say a 'hiss-fire'!!

Now, once the men got wind of this, we were curious as to what the girls were going to do.  I'm not sure if any of you fine folks out there watch these types of reality shows but they are entertaining and mind numbing at the same time.  Not that I errr, umm tune in weekly to watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills to see if Kyle and Kim are fueding or if Camille is still delusional and crazy *cough*.

The entire neighborhood is in an uproar over this.  The thought of the film crew following BB around all day long doesn't sit too well with me.  Once she told me that they would also film me...well, I almost felt like Brad Pitt.  He's not as good looking or charming as me, you all know this, but he's about the only Hollywood star that is comparable to me on a 'Sexiest Man Alive' basis.  I have to say - I am kind of warming up to this idea.

I am speaking with my father, Raja, Kahn, Keenan, and Sultan about how they feel about their ladies being on this show.  Mixed results to say the least.

Bravo has already taken a couple of photographs of the ladies and their men.  They are definitely pullling out all the stops. 

I think the photo of BB and me is stunning.  BB thinks she looks fat as usual.  Women!

Stay tuned folks - more to come.

Graffiti...

Now folks...we don't condone graffiti in the neighborhood.  I understand sometimes when I'm busy with official In-Sync business like kissing babies, posing for photo shoots, standing around looking handsome, checking on the public toilet in the playground, signing autographs etc., I can't be everywhere at once and make sure everything is running in an orderly fashion...but seriously...graffiti on my secretaries face?  This is totally hilarious!!! *giggles* *coughs*  ERRR,I mean, this is an outrage!! Who would do such a terrible things such as this and deface such a lovely picture of me and my trusted scribe?


What next? The pull my finger prank?

P.S. - I think we have a gifted artist among us!

Well folks it's been awhile since I've last written.  I've been feeling a bit under the weather.  Those of you that know me, know that I've got skin cancer and have been going through chemo treatments.  Well, this last round has taken it's toll on my physically and I've been recuperating with the help of all my wonderful caregivers and loved ones.  They are the next best thing to morning treats...well, almost!  Those treats are pretty darn tasty I must say.  But the volunteers and caregivers do come in a close second.

I've lost a bit of weight, but I have to say I do look very svelte and of course I am still as handsome as ever.  I did hear rumors and gossip around the neighborhood that some folks thought I was a bit on the heavy side.  I know! I know!  I was shocked myself.  It takes a lot of energy to look this good; they are just jealous of me.

To help me battle with my illness I've been working with my martial arts instructor, The Green Eyed Lady.  She has been teaching me a new technique called "Ninja Bamboo Flying" to help me regain core strength (plus it just looks hella cool to be running/flying in trees!)

Blue Bell worries that I might injure myself by being so high up in the trees and won't be able to get down - you know that whole cat in a tree thing *laughs*.   

I gotta say that this bamboo workout has slowly help me get back to my old self.  There has been a lot of stuff going on in the neighborhood that I haven't been able to get to lately.  Thankfully Mohan has filled in to take my place while I recover.  Great guy that one. 

I love you all!

P.S. I bet you all didn't know I could do the splits! I'm full of surprises!

Brooks

Your time with us has been too short.  But in the past 5 months you have taught us what it means to truly love and as I've watched our caregivers, I've seen how they have truly fallen in love with you and I understand why.  You are an amazing, gentle soul, even after everything you've been through.  Your dignity and majesty honors us all.


If I could turn back time, I would, so we could all have you for eternity, but I know you are ready to go home and be with Naomi.  When you see her again you two will always have green grass underneath your feet and beautiful skies above your heads and forever be with each other and never be apart again.  In my great sadness I find comfort in knowing you will be with the love of your life.

I will miss you deeply my friend.  It was a great honor.

Gypsy

I will always have fond memories of you baby girl.  The way your rear end wiggled when you walked.  The way you always had a smirk on your face for those that didn't really know you. 

I'll miss you more than you know, but it comforts my heart that you are no longer in pain.  I'll miss counting those lovely spots and watching you doze on your pillow.

You'll never be forgotten sweet girl.

Dinari

Dinari,


In this time of great sorrow, we celebrate your life and Malikai's life. This passing will not be easy for you, but you are strong and will learn to cope and survive. We love you and will comfort you in your time of need. The love that you have for Malikai will live on in each of us. Malikai loves you very much and will be watching over you each and every day. You, Dinari, are a comfort to us. You are the bright light that we seek when our hearts are full of sorrow. Seeing you every day reminds us of why we do what we do. Sing your songs with pride my friend, Malikai will be listening.

The Lion King

I've known Malikai for a very long time folks.  When you think of lion, you think of Malikai and you think of his brother, Dinari.

Now, I've had my run in with "The Boys" in the past.  They are a fearsome pair, don't get me wrong, but I held my own.  It was tough, but I came out having a new found respect for both of them. 

The Boys are both magnificent and proud.  I hope that all of you will keep Malikai and Dinari in your thoughts and prayers.

Seeing them separated while Malikai recovers from his recent illness fills me with sadness as I know it does for everyone in the neighborhood as well.

From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you all for the round the clock care you've all provided for my good friend.  I know that Vicky and Colleen appreciate also.  We all wish Mali a speedy recovery and hope that he will be reunited with Dinari very soon!

I love ya big guy!

Lies and Innuendos

It has come to my attention that rumors have been surfacing lately about my relationship with BB.  The fact that people are talking behind our backs is hurtful and catty...pun intended.

What I have with BB is really no ones business, but since it has seemingly come under scrutiny, I feel that I must defend my love and devotion to her.

BB is the apple of my eye, the love of my life.  She is the moon, the sun AND the stars.  Without her, I would be just 1 of 50ish golden tabbies.  But with her, I am King Midas.  She lifts my spirits when I am down.  She holds me up when I am weak.  Need I go on?

For those of you who see me with other "women", if you must know, they are my trainers.

The Green Eyed Lady is my martial arts instructor.  You think my Bruce Lee and Jet Li moves come without a price?  Oh, I think not my friends, I think not!  It takes hard work and concentration to be that stealthy and lethal!

Snow White is my yoga instructor.  After a workout with the Green Eyed Lady, I need to stretch my sore limbs.  And, Big Bertha is my massage therapist. 

Seriously people - being born as good looking as I am is one thing, but keeping up this charm and appeal is another thing.  I have to look good for my fans and of course my beloved BB.

So get the notion out of your head that there is any hanky panky going on.  I mean really!

BB - My love...

Peace

Midas in the house!

 
Well folks, I'm back!  I've been vacationing in Europe these past several months and just got back a couple of weeks ago.  Phew!  I need a vacation from my vacation!  BB stayed behind in Copenhagen to visit her family.  Yup, for those of you not in the know, BB is of Scandinavian decent, and was born in the beautiful country of Denmark.

BB and I had a fabulous time in Europe.  We visited all the tourist traps in London, Paris, Dublin, Edinburgh, Prague, and Munich.  The Yeomen Warders (aka Beefeater) at the Tower of London made me an honorary Warder.  I know...I'm charming like that.  That and 10-20 pints will get you an honorary anything!  *chuckles*

I don't think the folks in Edinburgh, Scotland took to kindly to me donning a kilt and running around yelling "FREEDOM" with blue warpaint on my face.  You know...with all the backlash that Mel Gibson's been getting lately *cough*.

I could go on and on about Europe and what a magnificent time we had, but that can wait for another time.  It seems we've had a lot of activity around the neighborhood since BB and I have been away.

First and foremost the sad and heartbreaking news about my buddy, Cody.  I miss him terribly.  The tributes were amazing and beautiful. I know he would have loved them.  I take comfort in knowing he's with Nik, Eric, Diva and the rest of our loved ones and they are surrounding him in light and love.

While I was away Keenan also became ill and hasn't been feeling well, so please keep him in your prayers.  He's one of my best friends and I worry about him an awful lot.

I also heard rumors of a love affair between Sheila and Kahn as soon as I got back...scandalous!  I wasn't aware that he was going to be moving out of the frat house once the new addition, Surround Sound, I do believe it's called, was completed.

Well, good for the old boy!!  Sheila is a spit fire of a girl and Kahn, well, Kahn is a lovely gentleman with impeccable manners.  Sheila will be the talk of the town on his arm.  I'm sure Kahn is loving his new place.  Samu told me it has wall to wall concrete with a lovely den and an upstairs bathroom and a garden view.  Who could ask for more.

It also seems that Tobias is now living with Dutchess and Trooper.  Who would have thunk?   That young whippersnapper is just a spark of energy.  Should give the ole girl a run for her money!

I was able to make the rounds and meet our new residents.  Exciting times around the neighborhood.  And to find out that several of them are related to Kiro and Tacoma, the news couldn't be better.

I almost stepped on one of our new friends due to him being knee high to a grasshopper.  "Shoes" is his name and danger is his game.  He is definitely a distant cousin of mine, I can tell from his markings.  Plus, he is very, very good-looking that is certainly a dead give away to being a relative of mine. *chuckle*

I did manage to go over and introduce myself to Harley and come to find out someone has already given him a copy of my Midas Rosetta Stone Chuffing course.  He chuffs while he eats.  I can't even do that.  I think Amol taught him that trick.

And Smuggler - ok - what happened there?  I'm gone for 4 months and well...who ate him and replaced him with that huge teenager?  It looks like Smuggler but biggy sized.  Who got crazy with the miracle grow at dinner?  That child is growing like a weed.  Speaking of, the big baby is turning 1 on October 24th.  I'll have to figure out what to get him for his 1st birthday.

Well folks, a lot is happening around the neighborhood and there is way too much excitement going on as usual.  It's never a dull moment.  We have new friends to get to know, babies growing up, new additions being added to the neighborhood.  Chuffing school...I'm so glad to be right in the mix of things.

Oh, and it looks like the public toilet on the playground is working well. Mohan was in charge of that while I was gone.  He said there wasn't any problem with it.  Book club has been going well.  I'm glad I missed some of the books...the girls picked "Eat, Pray..." something or other.

Anyways, until we meet again...

Peace
~M

Cody

I will miss you my friend.  You are a beautiful, gentle soul.  Your bright light will shine on forever in each of us.

I take comfort in knowing that you are with Nik, Diva, Eric, Kenya and all those whom we love so much.  

Every time I look up into the sky, I'll know you are looking down and watching over me.
