you can watch every single X-Files episode right... →
People like Fringe [wikipedia.org], but I don’t get it. The X-Files covered the same ground about 15 years ago, and it still holds up.
Take episode 3.7, The Walk, which broadcast the same year I graduated from high school. A quadruple amputee in a military hospital can astrally project a physical body with which he murders his enemies.

another dream I had that you probably don't want...
I was working at a church in some kind of administrative capacity. It smelled like incense. I couldn’t breathe through my nose, and it was really bothering me. I remember gulping for air a lot throughout the whole dream, and it caused me a lot of anxiety.
I stayed home on Good Friday, thinking I had the day off since it was a holiday. I was informed by the old lady who ran the church...

This is my pithy, clever, very quotable summation...
I buy Apple for the same reason you buy a Mercedes with heated seats, leather interiors, Bluetooth connectivity, built-in GPS, electric windows and sat radio. It gets me down the road just as fast as a ‘92 Escort, but I’m willing to pay more for the experience.

How I Got Healthier and Stopped Being Such a Load...
My start point is probably different from a lot of people. I had an awful diet - something sugary for breakfast, a giant sub from Jimmie Johns for lunch and then a junky, preprepared dinner followed by a gloriously sugary dessert.
I resolved not just to lose weight but to be healthier. This meant eating less, for the most part.
If you only get one bit of advice from my story, that’s it:...

But we never...
