Well, that is unfortunate. The only time watching these type of movies have been bad for my health, and had to stop, was in the period after getting a concussion and becoming photosensitive.
Maybe to paraphrase one of the few lines of dialogue in Ogroff in a gentler, more reasonable way, "might I recommend taking up jogging? I find it makes me feel good and clears the mind."
In order to keep me alert and alive while watching movie after movie of junk, I generally indulged my worst habits to keep myself going. Weird, dumb, bad, transcendent films are intrinsically tied to equally weird, dumb, bad and transcendent decisions in my head. I liked the symbiosis of losing my mind as a film loses the plot.
But now that its been made pretty clear this has begun to have some possibly very bad effects on my future health, I'm just needing the time to recalibrate how I watch movies. It seems Ogroff advice regarding jogging is the kind I need to take. This is mostly a matter of diet and exercise, but alcohol is also certainly still a big factor (even though I've probably already cut that down by more than half the last two years).
Up until now I've been relying on my sturdy Irish alcoholic and deep fried stock to bail me out, and so far its kept me seemingly unaffected by nearly thirty years of libertine tastes. Probably couldn't hurt for me to lost about 15 pounds, but other than this, I thought i was cheating the system and might, in fact, be immortal. Even the doctors I went to see (for my first check up in my life) felt I was surely in tip top health, because there is no seeming outward appearances of anything being seriously wrong. But once they blood work and ecg results came back, they realized my insides were just a skeleton submerged in toxic sludge.
Eventually I'll get back on track with this shit. Maybe sooner than I am expecting. Maybe completely reorganizing your life is easier than it looks. But I just needed to publically put it out there that I need to distance myself from this debauched character I've created for myself, both online and real life.
