Too Damn Long

So, after all the promises to myself, I've not keep this blog up, or made progress on much of anything else.  I've theorized on persistence extensively, yet seem to lack the ability myself.  It's unfortunate for me that my birthday falls so near the end of the year, since it becomes a bitter reminder of what I have failed to do instead of what I have succeeded in.  Life is better than my addled brain tells me it is, but I need to find a way to trick my brain into believing reality.
