The shaving razor's cold, and it stings

One of the things I find fascinating about people is the degree to which they can be incredibly self-aware of their flaws. So often, they're able to articulate accurately and in some detail what it is that they're doing wrong, and what they could do to change it. And then they go and keep doing exactly what they were doing before!

(That description applies to me as much as it applies to anyone I know. My life feels like the movie "Groundhog Day," except for the fact that it's the world around me that changes and I'm the one who stays the same. Which I guess means my life is exactly UNlike the movie "Groundhog Day." Whatever. It's my metaphor and I'll strain it to the breaking point if I want to.)
