I think I'm basically the same guy I always was. Maybe I've learned, through experience, to rein in some of the anger and temper they say redheads normally have.
Normally, adults process their waking experiences during sleep. Children cannot yet carry their waking experiences into sleep. Thus, in sleep, they settle into the general cosmic order without taking their physical experience into the cosmic order.
The whole book experience was a look into another world, the world of Gore Vidal and Norman Mailer.
High school is such a shared experience in North American culture.
I am an atheist. I was born a Catholic, but after I had traveled to Northern Ireland with some Catholic friends, and we had a horrible experience with the English Protestant police, I lost all taste for formal religion.
I lived for a couple of years when I was 9 years old on beautiful Aboriginal sacred land in a town of a thousand people in northwestern Australia. It's where the Aborigines are still very connected to their culture, the Dreamtime culture. It was really quite a special experience.
I made decisions that I regret, and I took them as learning experiences... I'm human, not perfect, like anybody else.
If you're having a very high-adrenaline, high-movement experience in virtual reality, and then all of a sudden you're back in your office, that disconnect is pretty notable.

For me, baseball is the most nourishing game outside of literature. They both are re-tellings of human experience.
There are films of mine that I've seen numerous times and other ones I've been in that I haven't seen at all. It depends on my experience making them.
In my reviews, I feel it's good to make it clear that I'm not proposing objective truth, but subjective reactions; a review should reflect the immediate experience.
What is the truth? Is it what you experience? Is it what I experience? Or is there some objective truth in between?
It is impossible to experience one's death objectively and still carry a tune.
There are more people than you think who want to have a challenging experience, in which they are obliged to reflect about the past.
Our culture encourages women to nurture men, making it predictable that many experience a seductive empathy for abusive men, as well as the misguided hope that love can obliterate an ugly past.
Every journalism bromide - speaking truth to power, comforting the afflicted, afflicting the powerful - that otherwise would be hopelessly sappy to a journalist of any experience, has become a Twitter grail.
