Saint Bono & Angelina the Fair
Warm regards, from the comfie recliner here at the Center of the Universe, from Yours Truly. This monoblogue shall touch on a pair of my favorite people in the world; Bono and Angelina.
I'll begin with the fair, gorgeous, talented, absolutely beautiful, and motherly Angelina. Her current condition, and pending marriage, has hampered somewhat her charitable works and limited her travels, I do not think it has in any way tempered her desires or ambitions to see more done to help the children of Southeast Asia, however. Her compassion is limitless in this area and by no means has she done this work to gain fame or fortune. She has spent much of her own money in her work and travels in this field and asked nothing in return. She does not take journalists with her to photo shoot her every movement, her every hug of an unfortunate child. Angelina is a true Angel and deserving of admiration by the world. To her, I think acting is a job and is just a way to get money to do what she really wants to do in her life, and that is to help children. With her adoption of two children, and now soon to give birth to her own with Brad, she may not have much time in the near future to return to the fields and do her work. I know, however, she will be keeping a beautiful and caring eye on that part of the world.
Bono is very much like her, although in a much more flamboyant way. Bono is one of our time's great bards, and knows how to draw attention. He is very much willing to grab the media by the throat and turn its cameras to show the world what he wants it to see, whether that's his band and himself, or the disaster of central Africa. Bono wants us to see Africa in all its raw and cruel form, something the modern, Western media really doesn't care to show unless he is the one showing it. It is to this end that he has had to resort to the methods that he has had to to draw our attention to the problems nobody in Europe or America would otherwise have cared to notice. Bono travels into some of the dirtiest, sickest, poorest, most dangerous parts of this planet and personally hands out medicines and foods and clothing that corrupt governments refuse to give to there own people. Yes, he takes the media with him and he makes sure they show him doing the work. Otherwise, would it makes the news showing some nameless UN dork passing out toys to kids? No. Would it if it was Bono passing out toys? Hell, yes! You see why he is up for the Nobel Peace Prize once again this year? I, for one, hope he wins it this time, instead of some past President who has no clue what the hell's going on or what the hell he's talking about! I'm sure Bono would do the right thing and donate the cash prize portion back to the charities. Maybe some of those big Western nations see fit to excuse some of the 3rd World's debt if these poor nations begin to clean up their acts. I mean, how many other rock stars in this world have ever had sit-downs with sitting Presidents? This guy's got balls!
All of you critics out there that bad-mouth Bono and Angelina every time they get in the news for doing something charitable, shut-the-f-up! I don't see your fat asses out there doing a damned thing to help anybody, Howard! If half of Hollywood's prima-donnas would give up a movie's salary to help the homeless in America, there would be no homeless in America, Michael! If these millionaire sportsters gave up one game's salary to help pay for needy children's medications, it would be covered for a year, T.O.! And if Congress would take a pay cut by 50%,(since they are all millionaires in the first place) the country would be out of debt in a heartbeat and all of the liberal social programs, as well as Social Security, would be safe for a century, Ted! I did the math. Look it up.
In conclusion, Angelina and Bono are a pair of Saints in my book, and someday they may be in the Big Guy's book as well. They are true heroes of our generation and will leave lasting legacies. They also make pretty good music and movies, as well!
Until next time, I'm the Center of the Universe, and you're not!
