The Cape Town edition... Welcome to my ramblings, if you care to read on, you will sooon find that this is mostly an attempt to record the things I'd want to remember one day but probably wouldn't. This of course is due to my absolutely rubbish memory.

Groundhog Day

There are a few films that I can watch over and over, well actually there are few that I cant watch repeatedly. Groundhog Day ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107048/) is a film that no matter how many times I've seen it I still love it, I havent seen the film in probably 6 or 7 years now, so when I saw it in Virgin on friday night I just had to buy it! How many times have I said that to myself when buying DVD's? Probably every time.

A world without consequence? Do whatever you want, whenver you want, wherever you want, and theres no cosequence? I used to think that would be paradise, but if your actions dont have any consequence then whats the point? Phil conners as one fan put it becomes quite literally, a man without a future. Nothing you do matters (not that anything I do has an impact on world politics) but at least this is real. Bottom Line: I still love the movie, but its way deeper than I used to think.

Permanent consequence? what the hell is that?

but no effect on the following day
- so then how can it be of any consequence then?

if you break the law today and there IS a tomorrow, then you're most likely to wake up next to a man called tiffany, in a 4x2 size room.
If there IS'NT a tomorrow then tifanny wont be whispering sweet nothings in your ear, you're free to do the exact same thing again and get away with it.

Now you see this raises a whole new question, does he experience physical changes, does he age? Or does he stay the same, and only keep the emotional and mental experiences? ie. could he become Arny, or would working out every day be pointless cause the next day his muscles go back to where they were. If he can kill himself then I's say no, he doesnt keep physical experiences, so once again its a life without consequence. If you decide to exact revenge on Tifanny for expressing his feelings, its not going to matter cause he'll still be there 2mo.
