Since today is Saturday and I have a serious date with my kids and a swimming pool out on my deck, I thought it would be the perfect time to share my current favorite Angelina Jolie video done by a fan. I can’t even remember what the heck I was looking for, but somehow I came across this one with photos of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, and the song that plays is so perfect. It’s called “I Am Who I Am”.
I had never heard the song before but it’s so fitting of the attitude that Angelina seems to have. She always embodies that whole sentiment of “look, this is me and you can take it or leave it but I won’t change it”, and she is completely unapologetic about it. Everyone should be that way – loud and proud of who you are.
Check it out! I’ve put the lyrics below the cut as well. I’d love to know what you think!
Feels like you’ve built a wall around me
You’ve tried your best to ground me
Let me explain that I don’t play by any other rules
I won’t be nobody’s fool – I won’t lose this game
There is no way
I can love you with half of my heart
It would tear me apart
[Chorus:]
I am who I am
What else could I be
And I’ll stand where I stand
I chose to be me
When you look in my eyes
You get what you see
Understand if you can
That I am who I am who I am
Think twice before you try to read me
Before you try to lead me into your trap
You’ve got no right to play with my emotion
‘Cause you should know that I’m much deeper than that
There is no way
I can love you with half of my heart
It would tear me apart
[Chorus]
There is no way
I can love you with half of my heart
It would tear me apart
Someone asked me for a new poll question over in the sidebar. Yeah, that’s a good idea since that question has been there for almost a year, sorry about that. I’ll try to think of something while I’m reading a book and dipping my feet in the water and I’ll get it up sometime this weekend! Enjoy the Angelina Jolie fan video!

Mary Ann,
I know exactly what you mean because I love Angelina when she’s just her.
Like when she’s working with UNHCR and looking stunning with her baseball cap and t-shirt. When I see her like that. Its inspiring and you realize how pretty she really is to the point that she’s pretty even when she’s working hard. Its enchanting and draws you in.

Bill Cosby. Alex Rodriguez. Brad Pitt. Michael Jordan. President Clinton. Jackie Joyner-Kersee. Martin Sheen. Derek Jeter. Neil Diamond. And, Denzel Washington.. What do all of these people, and millions more throughout America, have in common? They are all alumni of Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

Well, this is a great video with a beautiful song. Angie is a striking beauty and the love between her and Brad is amazing in these photos. You can see it and you can feel it. They were born for each other!
Mary Ann, we have not seen Wanted yet as the premiere has been delayed until early August here in Vietnam. Hopefully we can go and see it this weekend. I agree with you that Angie looks best when she is with minimal makeup. Her makeup in Wanted seems a bit heavy, probably because of the character that she played. She looked great in Mr and Mrs Smith.

Lucy, thanks for the article “Angelina Jolie-The Most Iconic Woman of Our Time”. It is true and is very well written.

Raquel, my daughters name is Raquel, anyway I found this article to be interesting. Does anyone remember if we heard that Shiloh was Christened? I know Brad and Angie are close to Bono, so I understand that choice, but what I am real confused about is the reference to asking Jenny S to be the godmother. My goodness, the detractors would have a field day with that.
Lucy thanks for the article about Angie, it is the most thoughtful and truthful article I have ever read.
Hope, your comments are so true, thanks for expressing so well what I have always thought.

I don’t remember reports either in the legit or tab media of any Jolie-Pitt kid being baptized. Does anyone? If I remember correctly, when Angelina was asked if she believed there was a god, she said she hoped so for the people who believed in that. I think Angelina is spiritual and an atheist.
Angelina was scary in her first entrance in WANTED, wasn’t she? Black raccoon eyes, tough demeanor, hardened exterior. She established her character immediately as a veteran, cold-blooded killer, no nonsense and definitely IN CHARGE. Her eye makeup softenend a little later, and I thought she looked quite soft and beautiful in the scene where she tells Wesley what happened to her father.
