I would have to agree that it's more about the journey and getting there. I've been able to do partake in a <em>wide</em> variety of activities and see a wide variety of space. It's been a long road and one that I wouldn't change in the past. I think I was trying to capture some of the angst I feel and receive from hardcore, pvp combat pilots who want to kill everything in sight before being blown to trit themselves. Or in reality, anyone who thinks it needs to be done a certain way. So that when I do things <em>WRONG</em> and I <em>FAIL</em> it is not because I mine, mission, manufacture, make war or even fly a <b>Passive Fit Caldari Navy Raven</b>! Failure is when you stop logging in because you aren't excited about the people you get to hang out with; because you can't be arsed to help a corpie finish his level 2 Gurista Spies mission; because you can't stand the interface [more of a CCP failure :) ]; because in the time it takes you to fly to a hub and refit your recent ship loss, you could have read War & Peace. I should stop while I'm ahead and go finish pimping my Merlin archaeology/hacking ship and my crazy salvage Harbinger. Hey, Thanks for dropping by.

If the answer is "yes," then you did not "fail." This is a game and while some like to excel at all they do, others like to enjoy the journey...even if some of the paths taken don't lead anywhere.

I am actually fairly content and relatively OK with the rather aimless direction I seem to be headed. Some days I'd rather have the ability to actually fight back, but other days, I'm ok reprocessing loot and EFT warrior-ing/theory-crafting a ship fitting than I'll likely never fly [though at this point, I'm going to have to start theory-crafting battleships and capitals, as I've got most all of the smaller ships trained. So, I guess I'll have to go with door number 2: "<em>One Of Those Days</em>", though it would be a closer approximation to say, "<em>One Of Those Games</em>". :) Heh, when I re-read what I had written, I wondered if I should just file it away for a day when something bad had actually happened.
