Since I have had a really bad ear infection for the last 3 weeks I have been catching up with sonar x3 as well as learning mixing mastering and in depth effects explainations over at Groove3.com. Even though I usually just post my songs to Reverbnation or Soundcloud, is it worth remixing those old tunes again with new ears?

If you remix your own stuff there's a good chance that all you'll get is more of the same.  You have a pre-conceived idea of what it should sound like,  which will be what it sounded like before.  New ears or not.
 
If you genuinely think some old mixes could be improved, or you just want a fresh look,  give them to someone else that's never heard them before.

IMO, going back to old projects is fruitful only if there's been a drastic improvement in your equipment or studio environment. If you've tossed away Behringer Truths and have the big Genelecs and a treated  studio instead of the good old closet, then it can really make sense.

I intend to go back once I'm actually proficient on my instruments.  So probably somewhere in the year 2037?

I did it last year HERE
 
I felt I improved the song by 20-40%.
