Would you like to live an existence like Bill Murray did in Groundhog Day?
I mean at first it was monotonous to live each day over and over again but then he varied things and did things differently which altered the day and made it different. I don't think I'd want to do it forever, but a week of doing that might be kind of interesting and even fun.

It would give me a chance to sharpen alot of skills i've been wanting to

4. I would love to do it for at least four years.
Seriously. I would LOVE to put my life, on hold, for four years. I would come out of it not ONE bit mentally deficient. Because think about it: if there was no tomorrow, you could do . . whatever you wanted. I have zero time to do anything as it is, so I would learn at least three languages, get that financial knowledge I always wanted, catch up on all my reading, listen to a fuckload of new and old music at libraries . . . the possibilities are staggering.

All that I ask is that day comes on a Saturday. But it wouldn't matter either way, would it?

5. Sign me up
I want a full 20 year package. Time enough to learn a number of languages, skills, technology, etc. With ample time to satisfy whatever whim comes into your mind. Suicide ? Try it out. Skydiving, bungee-jumping, sharp-shooting, art, music, read every book you've ever wanted to, watch every movie, try all kinds of drugs w/o adverse effects of addictions. The world would be yours.

6. Bush is kinda living "Groundhog Day"
Bill Murray's character realized that, no matter what he did, his actions had no consequences.

Kinda like how Bush can shovel out bullsh*t and lies constantly and not get called on the carpet for it, despite the fact that the calendar changes each morning . . .

7. Depends on how perpetual we're talking about
If the goal was like the movie, pefect yourself and then live the perfect day, and once attained, you're released...

Then i'm on board.

If not, and it kept on going... me and puxatawny phil would be driving into the ravine.
