In the end, life is really pretty simple.
That's a good thing if you ask me. Uncomplicating my life is one of the things I always plan to do. I talk about it and then end up still racing through the canyons on the back of my bike, paparazzi on my ass, wondering how the hell I ended up there.
I don't like writing about relationships or love or anything like that. It's complicated. Relationships of any kind are complicated. Sex is simple. I read that Mr. Cruise said sex without a relationship is confusing and for me, the opposite is true. I don't know if that's a guy thing or a Brad thing, but either way it's the way it is. People are born singular and as romantic as I am, we die that way too. Sometimes I wonder if we aren't meant to stay that way. A soulmate isn't something I can honestly tell you I've found so far for certain, though there have been people who were damn close. Something happens and you realize the person you thought you wanted to spend every day of the rest of your life with isn't the one you've just promised to do that with and then you both look around, like people waking from a dream, and walk away. Jen's happier with Deb than she ever would have been with me and I'm....I'm reserving comment until I have more information on just what I'm doing with my heart.
Speaking of relationships, yes Clooney, my car still has the bumpersticker on it. For those of you who are uninformed, George thought it would be funny to put a sticker on my car that says Gay Voter with Small Penis. Needless to say I didn't know about this, but as I'm proud of my gay voter status and feel that a small penis is nothing to be ashamed of, I've left it on. By the way, I have a totally nude photo I'm being encouraged to post. Anyone have an opinion on that?
Anyway, simplicity is what I like about building things. There's a way to do it. You make a plan and follow through. You stand in an empty plot of land and look around you and then down at a set of blue prints and within a fairly short time, you have a home, an office building, something tangible and lasting. The house I worked on for Jen and I is still there, even though it's not mine anymore. Two beautiful women, Ellen and Portia are going to live there and I think that's even better. It'll be filled with love and that's what a home should be, really. I'm not sad about it, even though I'd planned to live there. Because with building something, you leave a part of yourself there always. That's why I've joined a Frank Gehry design team that's working on a penthouse and a restaurant in southern England. I am staying there now, for that reason, not to stalk Angelina, though that would be more exciting for the press I'm sure.
My other business venture outside of acting was and is Plan B. That's the production company Jen and I started. Since we're no longer married, I bought her out, though she may still be involved in some of the films. We started at Warner Bros. with it, but Paramount and I have come to an excellent deal involving more money for me and better production costs for the movies we take on, so I've moved over there. The next film hitting the theatres that is a Plan B production is a little thing starring Johnny Depp, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Like I said, in the end my life is pretty simple. Friends, work, doing what I love. Simple.
See you in Hyde Park on the 2nd.
