Wikipedia on Groundhog Day

Groundhog Day has been considered a tale of self-improvement which emphasizes the need to look inside oneself and realize that the only satisfaction in life comes from turning outward and concerning oneself with others rather than concentrating solely on one's own wants and desires. The phrase also has become a shorthand illustration for the concept of spiritual transcendence. As such, the film has become a favorite of Buddhists because they see its themes of selflessness and rebirth as a reflection of their own spiritual messages. It has also, in the Catholic tradition, been seen as a representation of Purgatory. It has even been dubbed by some religious leaders as the "most spiritual film of our time". Theologian Michael P. Pholey, writing for Touchstone Magazine, suggests that since "deciphering which" of the proposed philosophical and religious "interpretations is correct is no easy task, especially since" Harold Ramis "has ambiguous religious beliefs (he is an agnostic raised Jewish and married to a Buddhist)" and the film's commentators "seem wedded to a single hermeneutical lens, forcing them to ignore contradictory data... A more fruitful approach, I suggest, would involve following all of the clues, clues that lead not only to religion but also to the great conversation of philosophy. Once we do so, Groundhog Day may be seen for what it is: a stunning allegory of moral, intellectual, and even religious excellence in the face of postmodern decay, a sort of Christian-Aristotelian Pilgrim’s Progress for those lost in the contemporary cosmos."

If you already made your best of 2015 lists you should have waited until the new Bloodhound Gang album came out. 10 years since their last studio album, once again, Jimmy Pop brings his offensive brand of intelligence to just about every single musical genre.

Our Little old baby, Sophie.

We've gotten it into our heads that in order to be a socially conscious, 21st-century citizen, we should shun Uber. That's crazy. Here's why.

I want to read this article later so that’s why I’m putting it here.

La Dispute - Six by edwardbens on #SoundCloud

I think this is a pretty good representation of the music that I listen to, find interesting, appreciate, or continue to enjoy. This is by no means an exhaustive list and there are definitely some important songs missing from here. There are also some songs on here that I don't know a lot about, I just know something about them grabbed me in the right way. But over all I think this playlist represents me well up to this point in my life.

Good morning Monday! Looks like a new Major Lazer dropped today. And it's HOTT. Just start at the beginning with that Wild Belle joint and listen straight through. It might be a little too early for the dancier tracks, but when you're ready, don't deprive yourself of this one.
