Positive thinking and the FBI
Organizing thoughts… I don’t like the sound of that.  But I do have to start thinking in better ways and having more constructive thoughts.  Spending too much time watching movies, no matter how good they are (and let’s face it: they’re not always that good) is not the most useful, or even enjoyable thing I could be doing.

The FBI, rather surprisingly, came up with an extremely interesting discovery: In any situation that needs to be dealt with there are only two options: problem solve, or use emotionally focused coping methods.  [There’s a prize of a million pounds to anyone who can think of a workable alternative].

Watching movies is an emotionally focused coping strategy, effective too, but before you know it life has passed by and all you’ve got to show for it is rather useless encyclopedic knowledge of films.  Woop-di-doo!
