for the sack of politness; heres my version of the functions (only line 
and buffer sorry) feel free to do whatever.

(defun beginning-of-line-or-buffer ()
   "Sends point to the beginning of the current line, or, if already there,
    the beginning of the buffer"
   (interactive)
   (if (bolp)
       (goto-char (point-min))
     (beginning-of-line)
     ))

(defun end-of-line-or-buffer ()
   "Sends point to the beginning of the current line, or, if already there,
    the beginning of the buffer"
   (interactive)
   (if (eolp)
       (goto-char (point-max))
     (end-of-line)
     ))
