Birthday time and time again for the sinking feeling that I haven't achieved anything of value over the past year. I guess this is an unsurprising situation as I don't actually have a list of things I'd like to achieve.

I'm sure a feeling of angst at having not achieved something which one has not tried or desired to achieve would make beret- and skivvy-bedecked existentialists take an ennui-filled drag on their clove cigarettes and listen to some free jazz, but to me it's just kind of annoying.

Maybe I should come up with a list, then I could have a specific sense of failure next year.
