I was alright with blocks, and then along came these @ and several other 
things, and def/classes and so forth. I guess it all boils down to how much 
dedication I'm actually willing to put into it. Which at this moment is 
high, but I've been known to drop something after a short period of time.

But I'm GOING to stick with this, to learn it and perhaps start other 
languages.

But for now, I guess I'll just keep reading the tutorials and try that 
problem solving thing, and pounding them out.

BTW thanks for all the great responses, this is what I like to see in a 
community. :D
