I'll leave a note before I go, ok? Thanks.

Maddox and I are featured in the May issue of Vanity Fair (sorry about the source for those). It's a constant battle choosing between private or public but I'm still finding it hard to keep secrets. I just feel that it's pointless, you know. Because we're here for a very limited time and if we're going to waste covering up and concealing who we are

Shit, I know I shouldn't be your first comment, people are already talking enough about us, but it's just damn good to see you.
And that push pull between private and public life tears at me all the time. What to tell, who to tell, what to show, what to hide...just living starts to seem like a spy game.
The pictures are adorable, but hey who could mess up a shot with Maddox in it.

[angiejolie]

Fuck, you are so adorable it's a miracle I haven't jumped all over you but there's a time and place for everything and of course you know this already because it was the first thing I said to you. Fight Club is pretty much my religion and you're so damn perfect but really, the only reason I keep you around is because I want you to hook me up with Norton ;) Anyway. Thank you. You know, I was going to mention you up there because you are definitely one of those people who call it like it is and for that alone you have my respect and I'm so lucky to call you my friend. Now this has turned into a horrible Hallmark card and I'm going to stop.

couldn't agree more with the last paragraph. hello :)

[angiejolie]

I always feel horrible putting down Tori because I LOVE HER SO MUCH and I do like her new stuff and her lyrics are still brilliant but she lacks the passion and it makes me sad. How you doin' ;)

[jfcasablancas]

Same, but I can listen to Choirgirl and Boys For Pele and Under The Pink straight through. They are so raw and dark and everything I liked about her. It was almost like shock rock for the Lilith Fair crowd. But now it seems like, as you said, everything is so happy. I'm glad she's happy and I wouldn't wish her anything else than that, but it definitely seems like she is one of those people who just write the best music in a rut. I haven't completely given up on her yet, and there is enough older material out there to keep me happy for a while. Now after that essay, I am doing great. Very boring, but great. Yourself?

Choirgirl is pretty much the best album ever, there is not one song on it I don't love like my first born. She's a poet, she's like the greatest poet since Dickinson. Not that I particularly enjoy Dickinson but she was the first that came to mind. The cover album was pretty low and I never got into Scarlet. I love the IDEA about it but the songs just wash away. I'll never give up on her. She did an improv of Livin on a Prayer the other night and someone sent it to me and it's just perfect. I love her. I'm good. Endangered specie but good.

You know, I just had the chance to read your book about your work for the UN. I'm seriously not blowing smoke up your arse when I say this, but I think it was an incredibly selfless thing to do. I don't know if I could honestly say I'd do the same.

[angiejolie]

I pimped that book like mad here :-[ not because I'm such an amazing writer but because it's an important subject.

I found Tori late and tried to understand what everyone saw in her. I didn't until I listened to Little Earthquakes. Crucify is still on of my favorite songs.

I hate when people aren't honest, it wastes so much time. Maybe being exposed to you so young and wanting to be as fearless as you seemed to me, made me more upfront with how I feel and what I think. Sometimes people hate it, but you make your decisions for you and you are Maddox's mom, you love him, you decide what's okay for him and anyone who thinks you aren't doing it right should fuck off, in my opinion.

[angiejolie]

Little Earthquake is pretty much the best debut ever. Winter is my personal favorite and it's probably on my all time top ten list even if Choirgirl is my favorite album of hers.

I had no idea, that is such a flattering statement, haha, considering I was 20 and had no idea what I was doing. I just always figured what's the worst that could happen if you don't nod and smile all the time, but it took a while before I actually dared to stop.

Those are wonderful pictures. He's grown quite a lot since I last saw him. It was nice seeing you on that messenger thing today. I hope you do it regularly from now on, you sexy wench.

[angiejolie]

I like a man who keeps his word! I suppose this means our early morning chats are back on, I can think of worse things ;)
