Learning a new programming language. I'm still stuck writing ASP, which makes me waste time on tedious development when I could be focusing on the logic behind a site.

- Quote a song lyric that sums up your year?
Is this not enough?
This blessed sip of life,
Is it not enough?
Staring down at the ground
Oh, then complain and pray for more from above,
You greedy little pig
Stop, just watch your world trickle away
Oh, it's your problem now
It'll all be dead and gone in a few short years
Just love will open our eyes
Just love will put the hope back in our minds
Much more than we could ever know
Oh, so don't burn the day away
Dave Mathews Band - Pig
