Hell yeh! I was just having another one of my Minecraft binges yesterday. Here's how it goes:
1) Run around the mine(s) I already have, find a bunch of awesome crap
2) Start exploring aboveground, far from my base
3) Die a cheap death
4) Respawn, all my stuff is gone, I have no idea where the hell I just was
5) Lose interest, do whatever it is I really should've been doing with my time
Fortunately, 1.8 should revitalize my interest like nothing else!
EDIT: Huh, I can't connect to my account...
