I'm an idiot

The other night my Mama asked me if I would go see I would go see "Nights in Rodanthe" with her. Being my always thoughtful and courteous self, I said sure. I somehow missed all the trailers on TV. I had no idea what the movie is about. I thought it was called "Knights in Rodanthe". I assumed it was some historical piece about knights in England or something. A movie along the lines of "Braveheart". Boy was I wrong. I really need to start researching this stuff. The movie is a total chick flick. Richard Gere is in it. Oh goodness. What did I get my self into? I looked up the trailer on You Tube (check it if you in the mood for boredom. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJ6pKLRZaGk) it does not seem to leave much in terms of suspense. It's about an inn keeper(Diane Lane). A guest comes along(Richard). They're both lonely for some reason(I guess that's the suspense)and they hook up with each other. Yawn. I never go back on a promise though, so I'll go through with it. I might get bailed out though. My Mama and Cindy are going to watch some other girl movie and they said they might go watch "Rodanthe" afterward. A cat can hope. Speaking of movies, I saw a commercial for the unfortunately named "Zack and Miri make a porno". Movie executives need to give a little more thought to these titles. I felt creepy just typing the title. No way I'm going to holler out the title to the 15year old girl working the ticket booth. I think mentioning porno to a girl that young might be a crime. I guess I could just by a ticket for a different movie and go into this one. But what if the title attracts your usual porno crowd. No way I'm chancing watching a movie in a theater full of guys wearing sweatpants and trench coats. Yuck. I think I'll have to wait till this is on pay-per view if I watch it at all. One more entertainment related note. The final season of ER starts tonight. I haven't watched this show in years. I stopped when the employees of the hospital started dying more frequently than the patients and Dr. Kovac banged all the female characters and was starting to make his second go around with them. You think OSHA would do some investigation into that hospital. They had shootings, stabbings, helicopters crashing at the entrance. Ridiculous. How is this show still on? My Mama has a huge crush on John Romain-Stamos(I know it just Stamos and he's not married to her any more but I just think it's funny to say it that way). Even the addition of him to the show couldn't get my Mama watch again.........Here's my football picks of the week.

BONO LOSES HIS ASS PLAYING THE PONIES; FED TO BAIL HIM OUT.

Of course this really didn't happen. I would be cool if it could though. You know. Be like a major financial organization. Did you hear the news today? The government is just going to bail all of them out at once by taking all the crappy loans they have now, instead of waiting for them to fold one by one overtime. It's only going to cost a trillion dollars or so. Trillion really is a number. It's not some crazy exaggeration. Guess who gets to pay it? Yes, all of us. I tried to figure out how much per-person/cat. But a trillion doesn't fit on my calculator. I guess this plan is better than the alternative which would be the Great Depression part two. We would have a bunch of pictures of long lines at soup kitchens of men wearing fedora hats. When did that fad end? Every picture I see from the Great Depression the men have fedoras on. Besides Tom Landry and pimps nobody kept wearing them. Weird. We still might have the Great Depression part two, but this might delay it for a while. All this crap was pretty much started with greed. By pretty much everybody. It must be sweet to be or have been a CEO of one of these companies. Run a company into the ground with little or no consequences. Sure, they might feel bad for losing investors money or getting all the employees laid off. But have you heard of any of them returning the gigantic bonuses(as high as nine figures!) they got from the years that they were booking all these shitty loans? Me neither. Speaking of shitty loans. All the companies were handing out cash to pretty much anyone. With crazy terms, like negative amortization, interest only and worst of all stated income. You just told them what you make without proving it and they would give you a loan. Huh? Who would have thought that level of somebody's income might have something to do with there ability to pay back a loan? Were all these guys hung over the day they taught that at business school? Consumers are at fault also. They knew they were getting into loans they couldn't afford. They all thought they were Donald Trump and were going make a fortune in real estate and sell their house for a profit before the payment spiked. Didn't workout. A bunch of them complain that they didn't understand the terms of their loans. Cry me river. If your stupid enough to borrow $300k without knowing the terms you deserve to lose your house. Here's an idea. If you don't know the terms of your loan. Ask somebody that does! And not the guy selling it to you dipshit! On top of all this, now hardly anybody can get a loan. Flaco won't sell you nip on credit anymore; unless you get him a current pay stub and your previous year's taxes. You also have to sign a form 4506-T so he can verify that you actually filed your taxes with the IRS. It's crazy! I know I sound kind of preachy. I learned all this from my Mama. Blame her..............Here a my football picks of the week.

The Perfect Sunday

You might remember back when I was posing on my Mama's site it posted an entry from my journal of what me and Carty did when her and my dad were out of town. It's been a while so I decided I would do it again. If you remember a couple weeks ago on my football bets of the week I had four wins and only one loss. This gave me quite a bit of extra cash to throw around. So I decided I would up grade my condo for the rest of the football season. I went out and got an HD flat screen, TIVO, signed up with Direct TV to get the NFL package and got the place hooked up with wireless Internet. You know, the works. So this Sunday was the weekend to break it all in. I was giddy all last week. Me and Carty had two of our good friends from the neighborhood over to enjoy the games, Chico and Simba. I kept a detailed log of how our football fabulous day went.

7:01am......Sleeping above my Mama's head. Barley awake I look at the clock. Aaahhhh it's past 7am! I jump up, my Mama's sleeping on her back so I bounce from over her head, bounce off her butt, on to my dad's bare chest(there is a reason for all this) dig all my claws into his chest, lunge off the bed and sprint full speed down to the garage. That where the case of Bud Light long necks I bought are. Whoow! There still there. It imperative I get these on ice at least three hours before kickoff.

7:02am.....I'm a 13lb cat trying to get a case of Bud Light from the garage to the kitchen and into an ice chest. It's not going well. I was expecting help from my dad. I heard him scream when I dug my claws into his chest. I know he's awake. I'm making a bunch of racket. What's the deal?

7:21am.....Beer is finally on ice. No help from dad. My whole ruckus I made when I woke up got Mama up though. She's making breakfast.

7:53am.....Mama made breakfast burritos with New Mexico green chile. A taste of home. You've never had a breakfast burrito till you've had a NM green chile breakfast burrito. I had mine with a cup of coffee and caught up on the days news on the Internet

8:42am.....It's litter time. A little math. Green Chile + Coffee=Bowel movements.

8:43am.....My dad walks by our litter. He's taken back by the smell. He says "are you a cat or an elephant"? I chuckle.

9:00am.....No church today. I went last night. Thank God for Saturday evening services. It's God's gift to NFL fans. I think it's prophesied in Ezekiel. Maybe Daniel. It's my second favorite part of the Bible. Second only to Proverbs 27, verses 15 and 16. "A quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping on a rainy day; restraining her is like restraining the wind or grasping oil with the hand." That's hilarious! I can't believe that's in the Bible. Don't tell me God doesn't have a sense or humor.

9:45am.....Chico and Simba make it. We start go get settled in to my condo. Thank God neither one of them brought any wives or girlfriends. Nothing ruins a guy day more than a wet blanket wife or girlfriend. You have to watch your language. Eliminate %85 of potential jokes and sarcastic comments. You have to explain stupid things like, why to the refs throw the little yellow thingies. It's the cardinal rule of Mandom. You don't bring your girl to football day. It just screws everything up. Only 15 minuets to kickoff for the morning games!!!

10:00am.....This is the best part. The anticiaption before all the fun happens. We're all settled in to our ass groves. Twist open the 1st beer. Which is ice cold. Just how I like it. HD TV. Eight football games at the click of a remote. My laptop with wireless Internet to track our Fantasy Football teams. I try to appreciate moments like this. Life just doesn't get any better. If had $10,000,0000 in the bank, I would be doing the exact same thing I am right now. It's rare you can say that. And the room doesn't even smell like farts yet.

10:43am.....We're flipping around to all the different games. I'm gracious host so we alternate the remote in 15min intervals. We all have various bets on the games, which makes things even more interesting. Football is like good apple pie. Betting on football is like good apple pie with a big scoop of ice cream.

11:37am.....We're all officially buzzed.

12:01pm.....We see the start of what seems like the 100th political ad. We never see a complete ad because we just change the channel to a different game. But all four of us agree that for Obama to have any shot at winning the election he needs to get rid of Biden and get the mom from "Jon and Kate plus Eight" to be his running mate and give himself a nickname that's at lease, if not more ridiculous than the "Original Maverick". We have a hard time coming up with good ones. Simba says "Sweet Barack-O". I said "Smooth B-Obama". Carty says it should be "El Gallo Negro". Which translates to "The Black Rooster" in Spanish. He says it will appeal to the Hispanic voters. Whatever.

12:30pm......Carty calls Flaco to bet the afternoon games. Flaco also runs a bookmaking operation. We ask Carty why he bets through Flaco and doesn't just go to a casino here in town? Carty says it's funner if it's illegal. I warn him to not even dare invite Flaco over.

12:32pm......My previously useless dad felt bad about this morning and brings us Chinese takeout for lunch.

12:35pm......Carty figures out a way to wedge his head under the handle of the Chinese takeout box so it just hangs in front of him like a feed bag. He says "look, no paws".

1:03pm.......Carty is still eating. I'm searching the Internet for the record amount of chow mein consumed by a 15lb cat. He has to be closing in on the record.

1:10pm.......Carty gets his head stuck inside the take out box. He starts to panic. He's rolling around on the ground trying to get his head unlodged from between the box and handle. He starts yelling "help guys, I can't breathe"! We laugh hysterically as we help him get unlodged.

1:11pm.......Carty's head is covered in chow mien juice. I spend the next 5 min. licking it off him. The things we do for family.

1:20pm.......Carty lost his ass on the morning games. He says he loaded up on Miami getting 7 points against Arizona to make it all up. We all laugh at him.

1:21pm.......Miami is losing 14-0. We laugh again.

1:41pm.......Chico's cell phone rings. He looks at the face without answering. It his wife. His reaction is this. Yelling at the face of his cell phone "Son of a, one day! Just one day a week! That's all I ask! Just one day without dealing with your crap"! He flips the phone open then says "hey babe, what's up". The rest of us laugh. Clearly his wife has not read Proverbs 27, 15-16.

2:00pm.......We're officially hammered.

2:01pm.......Miami is losing 21-0. Carty throws a bottle cap across the room. The rest of us laugh.

2:22pm.......The room officially smells like farts.

3:01pm.......The Bronco vs. Chargers games is about as good as football gets. Revelry is in full force.

3:51pm.......Miami loses 31-3. We all laugh.

3:57pm.......The Bronco's game is an absolute cliffhanger. Carty has to pee really bad but does not want to miss what happens. He standing up doing a little dance to keep from peeing. He begs us to just pause it because it's on Tivo. The rest of us agree. No way we are pausing it. To much fun watching the game and him prancing around.

4:15pm........We agree that we all need naps before that late game at 5pm.

4:55pm........We wake up and crack out the beer. And call in pizza delivery. Which was me yelling out of my condo. "Mama, make us some pizza! And bring it to us".

6:10pm........The late game is a snore. It's the Steelers Vs. Browns. So we know the Steelers are going to win. It just a matter of by how much. On top of that, the game is being played in what is left of Hurricane Ike. So there are 60mph winds. Making scoring next to impossible. We start flipping around to other channels during commercials.

6:51pm.......We're all offically totally shitfaced.

6:53pm.......We all complain about how stupid our names are. Why can't just be named Jim, Tom, James and Tony?

7:01pm.......Carty gets up to go to the litter. The TV is on MTV. Katy Perry on is on the screen singing "I kissed a girl and I liked iiiiit..." As Carty trotts by.

7:10pm.......Carty re-enters the room. Stands in front of the TV and starts doing a litte dance and sings "I just took a dump and I liked iiiiit.....I liked ittttt". We laugh hysterically.

7:32pm........Simba and Carty are passed out.

7:43pm........Chico's wife sends him a text message. He simply gets up and walks to the exit. Holds up a paw to say bye. No words necessary. He going home to try to grasp oil with his hands. Carty, who I thought was passed out lifts his head and moves his arm over his head and motions it toward Chico like craking a bull whip and makes the whip sound. Waahhhker! Then he put is head back down to go to sleep. I laugh.

8:01pm.......What a great day. But I'm hanging on by a thread. I can pass out at any moment

Control your broad. Or I'll control her for you.

That's one of my favorite lines from the Godfather II. Towards the beginning of the movie Michael Corleone tells that to Fredo when the floozy that Fredo brings to Michael's son's 1st Holy Communion gets drunk and starts making a scene. I bring this up because Jessica Simpson is about to destroy my Cowboys season. Again! She was on Good Morning America this week saying that the Cowboys were going to stomp the Eagles this coming Monday. This is unacceptable. If the Eagles didn't already have enough motivation to snap Tony Romo's leg in half, now they really have it. The guys girlfriend is talking shit? This type of thing in frowned upon in the sports world. In any world really. It's similar to being in a bar when two guys kind of get into it with each other, then one of they guy's toasted girlfriend chimes in and starts yelling at the other guy that he better back off or her boyfriend is going to kick his ass. All this does is make the guy look like a dweeb because his girlfriend is sticking up of him. Well that how this situation is. I bring up the Godfather quote because all this week Tony Romo's teammates are all telling him to control his broad. What's up with Jessica trying to sing country music anyway? Trying to change genres to revive a career? Has anybody ever pulled this off? My Dad told me about Garth Brooks turning into Chris Gaines a while back. Wow, that's really weird. Seems like it was an awkward moment for everyone involved. I'm glad I missed that....Well here's my picks picks of the week and the picks for the competition against my Mama. I had a big week with my picks last week going 4-1. Me and Mama tied in our 1st week with 9-7 records. Some reasons for her picks this week. She picked against Minnesota because she hates snow. In a tough choice she picked Carolina over Chicago because she likes the Carolina Sweetie ribs from Tony Roma's just a little better than Chicago deep dish pizza. New Orleans because she feels sorry for them.

25 Sex secrets that will drive him crazy...

#25 Lick his....ahhh I'm not going to do it. I'm tastless but not that tastless. I saw that header on a Cosmopolitan magazine the last time I was at the grocery store. I've seen similar ones countless times on woman's magazines. I've never actually read one of the articles. I am kind of curious on what they say. I already know it's nothing helpful because I'm a guy. There are only 7 to 12 things that drive us crazy. You can very them slightly but you can only catagorize them in 7 to 12 basic catagories. Also, none of them are secrets. We're guys, why would we keep it a secret? What do you think we do? Sit around watching the game with your buddies, then you say "Hey guys, there's this thing that drives me crazy in the sack. But don't tell my old lady, I want to keep it just between us". No, that doesn't happen. If you want to know what the secrets are there are entire stores lining Industiral full of DVD's to fill you in.......Anyway, here are my football picks of the week. I got off to a slow start last week with a 1-2 mark. Hopfully the NFL starting will change our luck.

NEBRASKA(-26) VS. SAN JOSE ST.

BONO VS. MAMA

The 1st NFL game is tomorrow night!!!! Were doing a little experiment here at Bono's Blog. I'm going to have a season long picks contest against my Mama. All the picks are against the spread. The Football Neophyte VS. The Feline Football Guru. It should be fun. I used all my football expertise for my picks. Here is a sampling of the reasons my Mama picked the teams she did; She picked New England because she likes New England food. Buffalo because she likes Buffalo wings. Chicago because she likes Chicago deep dish pizza. In a rare non-food related pick, she took Atlanta over Detroit because an ex-boy friend was a Lions fan. To get into the mood for the season I decided to polish up my mini-helmet collection. I collected them from gumball machines. It took me years. Right when I finished they started selling complete collections at the mall for $20. A-holes. It cost me probably three times that. We'll at least I got the satisfaction of getting them the old fashioned way. My Dad took these pictures. That idiot can't take a picture for shit. He never remembers to turn the flash off. It took me about five minutes to get my vision back after this. Here are the picks. The B means Bono's pick, the M means Mama.

I can't help my self.....

With a couple months to the election I really did not want to get real political quite yet. But it turns out Sarah Palin's daughter is pregnant. As you all know I'm kind of left leaning so I have to admit it's been kind of fun watching the Republicans, the "values party", tap dance today. It's pretty funny thinking about the GOP looking for their Carol Brady to run for Vice President; they finally find her but they forget to check if Marsha is knocked up. Whoops!! They must have had the same guy that thought there were WMD's in Iraq head up VP search process. He'll probably be sweeping up the arena tonight after the convention. I don't want to gloat to much though. We'll probably find out Joe Biden was banging his hair dresser next week, so I don't want to get carried away. Also, I don't think it's fair to pile on. It's tough enough for a 17 year-old girl to deal with a pregnancy in it self. Having "values" doesn't change your physiology. She got horny and a mistake happened. Give her a break. Obama is saying the right things but that does not do much to quiet other lefties. For instance, Lindsey Lohan weighed in on the subject on her blog. Lindsey Lohan! Lindsey weighing in on moral issues on her blog is just slightly less absurd than say a cat blogging about the same subject. Also, as a child of a single biological mother I can't be to critical. Yeah, my Dad left my Mom in some alley a couple weeks after he found out he knocked her up. He promised her that they would get place together under a dumpster behind a Wal-Mart. Then one morning, poof! He was gone. Bastard! My Mom was working with a kitten support attorney before I was adopted. I'm not sure she ever got anything out of him.......This gets to a related subject though. Through out political debate you hear the term of "Traditional Family". This concept usually comes up during the gay marriage debate. It refers to the idea that a traditional family is a Husband, Wife, they have a couple kids, dog, cat, house. The husband has a good job and mom has to work very little if at all. The kids grow up great, go to college and they whole cycle repeats it self. The concept is great. Unfortunately it's a big crock of shit. On my short time on this planet one thing I've figured out is that the "Traditional Family" is almost always nontraditional. In fact the Traditional Family is all screwed up. Just in the families I know there are a bunch of marriages with step kids. Kids out of wedlock. Mom's almost always have to work. Kid's don't go to college, cat starts some crazy blog. There are a bunch of factors that throw the whole plan out of wack. I bet you anything you have at least one family member that is certifiably wacko. If you think you don't then you're the crazy one. I have like eight of them on my Dad's side alone. All products of the "Traditional Family" system. I think this idea stems from '50s TV shows. You know. Leave it to Beaver, Father Know Best etc. Everybody thinks the '50s were the perfect time for some reason. We should go back an make 50's shows when the Dad would come home an treat Mom like shit but she couldn't leave him because of the stigma of divorce and she couldn't get a decent job to support herself. Or a '50s show about the African-American family that couldn't use the same restroom as white people. Wow, they were enlightened back then. The show can be called "Father Doesn't know shit". It seems to me the 50's were great for white males. For everybody else it sucked. That's why we had the 60's and 70's.
