I'd get excited and go through some tutorial on their website, probably the main? tutorial, bu then when you get to the lifetimes section is seemed to get really complicated instantly. I tried twice and think I hit the same problem. Maybe some more good examples would help?

Makes sense! I'm working on a second draft of the book right now, and it's making that stuff more clear. http://rust-lang.github.io/book/ is the draft; the lifetimes bit hasn't landed yet though.
