Lia Suchong	Posted - 2011.03.15 10:49:00 - [1] You know, ive spent my days here doing so many things. Working up to my goals in ship training, Mining and doing missions with the corporation, helping other people get thier lifes goals, getting into a few spots of trouble. But you know what ive noticed? Nobody ever seems to relax these days. Its wierd. Its all go here, go there, do this, do that, shoot him, shoot her, shoot that, but so far ive never met anyone who was sitting back, relaxing for a bit. Not even just sitting in station and taking a break. Soif you ever get the chance to relax, be calm, take a load off. What do you do? I like to take a swim or sleep a bit. I have a nice big pool in the offices i bought. Nice place. Get out of my pod, pt on my swimsuit and take a nice long swim. Or relax by the waters edge with a book or reading articles on my neocom. Otherwise, i just strip nd hop into bed. Peace, quiet, and i get some rest. What about you?
Miss Sparkles Perkone	Posted - 2011.03.15 11:14:00 - [2] I like to kick back and read some IGS. Especially the posts of Alica Wildfire, I end up falling asleep and waking up refreshed.

Syn Callibri Minmatar 21st Eridani Lighthorse	Posted - 2011.03.15 12:07:00 - [4] I workout regularly, practice my martial arts, study the faith of my clan, sing and play piano, and dance.
Kimochi Rendar Veto.	Posted - 2011.03.15 12:15:00 - [5] Edited by: Kimochi Rendar on 15/03/2011 12:15:45 I like to swim too, or just chill out in my hot tub. I also like to read occasionally although I am quite picky about the kind of books I am prepared to spend the time on. I've also been known to enjoy watching the Mindclash tournaments when they are on. I'm not sure if there is going to even be a tournament this year though due to the Sansha incursions... People have too much on their minds at the moment to play games it seems. And then of course there's retail therapy. There's not a bad mood in the cluster that a new pair of shoes won't fix.

Graelyn Amarr Deus Imperiosus Acies	Posted - 2011.03.15 14:01:00 - [6] At this point, I'm starting to think I spend more time relaxing then doing any work. But hey, after this many years, I deserve to from time to time. There's just not that much going on right now. ---------------- Minister of Communications - xDIAx
Aiwha Caldari 101st Space Marine Force Nulli Secunda	Posted - 2011.03.15 14:38:00 - [7] I relax when I'm killing Blood Raiders. There's no such thing as overkill, only degrees of effectiveness.
Driselle Minmatar 21st Eridani Lighthorse	Posted - 2011.03.15 15:15:00 - [8] Mining is quite relaxing, but when I'm not doing that I'm chatting and mixing drinks in the club. There are other things I quite like that are oh so relaxing, but I'm sure nobody wants to hear about those.
Tigerfish Torpedo Underworld Protection Agency South Pole Dancers	Posted - 2011.03.15 15:28:00 - [9] An interesting question, Lia. Since I now consider myself semi-retired from active fleet operations, I've had more time to put things into perspective and see what hobbies take my fancy. Naturally, the majority of my time is spent with Evangeline, however during those days when she's planetside or upholding the proud traditions of our alliance, I enjoy painting. Believe it or not, I may be a violent man that will torture, kill or maim anyone to accomplish my own goals, but I do have a creative side and a sensitive soul. In fact, it was only last week whilst I was waiting for a coat of paint to dry on my lastest piece; "Cyno in Hell", that I resorted to torturing my crew just to fill the time! Other than that, I'm fairly normal - just my love of wine and classical music to pass the time. Tigerfish.
Ava Starfire Minmatar Gradient Electus Matari	Posted - 2011.03.15 16:14:00 - [10] I read, practice martial arts, visit with family and friends, or just putter about in my hangar.
Shintoko Akahoshi Risen Angels	Posted - 2011.03.15 16:56:00 - [11] Well, "I like to spend time with friends" doesn't really have the same cachT. Neither does "I take long baths" or "I read classical Raata poetry". "You've got a friend in the Cartel" Bio and writing

Revan Neferis Amarr Propaganda Due	Posted - 2011.03.15 18:26:00 - [15] After so many years at space, the best you can do is just doing things that gives you pleasure and nothing else. To relax? Easy question: Sin stock investments. Pump money into the industries of Wars and entertainment. Wars because you can simply pump money into the industry of violence and explore this very basic human primitive instict watching as they kill each other while you profit from it. Profits aren't the most important to someone like me at this point but the relaxation of their destruction and the tears from it is something that still relax my senses to watch from time to time. And Entertainment industry is quite obvious why; Entertainment is one of the largest industries in the Universe. To promote events and invest heavily into companies and individuals who supplies the vices and needs of humankind such as drinking, drugs, sex and gambling has always been quite profitable and brought me a very confortable social network for more important business when needed. So I consider that all I do is very relaxing, as the old proverb says: "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." Quite true. But even such matters just takes a very small portion of my time nowadays, What really matters to me is being with my lover and that's far from relaxing. Spending time to purge the soul of an heretic criminal gallente anarchist is a lifetime challenge that i simply adore more than anything else in this Universe. So no rest for the wicked.

Myxx Atropos Group	Posted - 2011.03.15 19:03:00 - [16] I study and read. And yet... I keep finding that the easiest day, is always going to be "Yesterday". -- Originally by: CCP Explorer (and if you guys would also stop using Drakes it would be really appreciated, kthxbye).
Milan Zlatko Skrlec	Posted - 2011.03.15 19:40:00 - [17] When I am not working in-pod or across neocom communication networks, I am most often found in my 'office'. I have many pet projects that I find keep my attention. Neural pathway mapping and alteration via injected nanite and molecular protein sequences, long term combat projections and statistics, market analysis of several key products that have my interest, structural engineering of large scale zero-g manufacturing stations, botanical genetics alteration research (again using nanites and molecular protein sequences), et al. I find my work on projects that do not require a pod interface to be exceptionally relaxing.
Rek Jaiga Minmatar Crimson Path Shaktipat Revelators	Posted - 2011.03.15 19:53:00 - [18] Sometimes I contemplate theology or philosophy. Or at other times I'll get high out of my mind on boosters. Doing both activities at once is truly relaxing.
Merdaneth Amarr Angel Wing.	Posted - 2011.03.15 22:55:00 - [19] You'll find that quite a good number of people pray. In fact, it might be the most common form of relaxation in this universe. ____ The Illusion of Freedom \| The Truth about Slavery
Half Cocked Jack	Posted - 2011.03.16 00:56:00 - [20] When you can indulge any whim, satisfy any desire, and enjoy any pleasure, the greatest solace to be found--to me, at least--is that found in nothing. To liberate myself from slavery to my senses, whether they be from body or neural link, I deactivate all implants and enter a sensory deprivation chamber for an hour every day. This was a habit of mine long before becoming a capsuleer. In a standard saline chamber, you have sensation of yourself to keep you anchored in reality: the act of breathing, the sound of breath, the pulsing of blood. Being aware of these things, and nothing else, is a liberating introspective experience. I advise it to anyone looking for a state of pure relaxation. I attempted to enter a sensory deprivation state within the capsule fairly recently, but it turned out to be a very bad idea. With all physical inputs overriden (therefore absent), there was no anchor to reality. Nothing to be conscious of, therefore no form of consciousness I had ever before experienced--nor care to experience again. I do not advise this to anyone who values sanity above experimentation. It is most definitely not relaxing. In terms of sensory relaxation, I enjoy smoking a pipe, imbibing tasty beverages (teas, coffees, beers, and some wines), and soaking in the humid heat of summer twilight...especially on planets with fireflies.
Scitor Nantom Minmatar AfterMath. -Mostly Harmless-	Posted - 2011.03.16 01:40:00 - [21] Relax? In my pod, listening to binaurally arranged compositions, I often drift off into a pleasant slumber. Though, this is not done during autopilot as I hardly ever use that anymore as I've learned it quite dangerous when timing jump gate travels when combat is possible. No, I'll command my cambots to give me a wide angle view of all of space around me and within one of my alliances forcefield bubbles, I watch. When I am out of my pod, I often start new art or music projects. I am becoming quite known for a few of my pod-themed works of art... http://eve.tilt180.com _______________________________________ *For the Republic, For the Minmatar* http://eve.tilt180.com
Natalcya Katla Naqam	Posted - 2011.03.16 01:47:00 - [22] I don't relax.
Nola Doyle NeuroGEN	Posted - 2011.03.16 02:17:00 - [23] I like to watch my peers in their natural habitat. It helps build perspective and encourages social building exercises. I also enjoy exploring the cosmos, to remind myself of the true vastness and infinite depth of the universe. Dr. Nola J. Doyle Co-CEO, NeuroGEN
Jade Constantine Gallente Jericho Fraction The Star Fraction	Posted - 2011.03.16 04:32:00 - [24] Originally by: Revan Neferis ... What really matters to me is being with my lover and that's far from relaxing. Spending time to purge the soul of an heretic criminal gallente anarchist is a lifetime challenge that i simply adore more than anything else in this Universe. So no rest for the wicked. Besides personifying a winged succubus from the underworld to assuage my loverÆs many sins with pleasures of the touch and flesh. I must confess I take great pleasure in singing, most often these days in VR within the confines of the la maison de tous les plaisirs, which is an eccentric little cabaret venue some of the more established capsuleers might remember. Something about closing my eyes and concentrating on the music and the atmosphere of smoke and laughter, the mood of distant times, and the evocation of perfection in the moment. It is diverting and brings me a great deal of relaxation. A song and my loverÆs lips; a sweet cocktail and beautiful alchemy combined. So one more song for the night...

Selena Mill	Posted - 2011.03.16 12:52:00 - [26] Hmmm........ There are soo many ways to relax. There is reading, Mine is the scriptures. Meditation or simple prayer. But lately i have been spending time at the Razor's edge. Laughing and enjoying the company of great people. And the scotch is yummy too. Thanks Syn and Drisella. And i guess Eva and Tiger and Mr Hologram. I'm sure i saw Miss Lia there too. Yours Misha

Killer Gandry Caldari	Posted - 2011.03.16 14:42:00 - [28] I find it quit relaxing to instigate turmoils and then provide means to escalade these turmoils into wars to both sides. Do not fear death so much but rather the inadequate life.
Tillek Caldari LEGION OF DEATHADDERS Fatal Ascension	Posted - 2011.03.16 19:00:00 - [29] I rather enjoy reading the latest conflict reports.. Specificaly Gallanete casualty reports. Aside from that I tend to listen to some of the states latest musicians and their latest creations with some fine drink. -------------------------------------- CRY HAVOC AND LET SLIP THE DOGS OF WAR

Maddox Yung Rising Ashes Inc. Important Internet Spaceship League	Posted - 2011.03.17 09:02:00 - [34] my idea of peace and relaxation? going through 15 minutes in a day when i didnt have to shoot some idiot who thinks he can move into my system. but otherwise, i spend my time reading the IGS, laughing my guts out. all the politics, smashing, bashing, racism.... Lord knows its too much fun watching others destroy eachother for the most pathetic of reasons. Oh, and painting my Drake. can of paint, sitting in the hangar, giving it a shiny new coat. Relaxing, and in the end rewarding. *********************** A Warrior Of The Collective We Are The Machine
Jade Constantine Gallente Jericho Fraction The Star Fraction	Posted - 2011.03.17 16:41:00 - [35] Originally by: Rek Jaiga Originally by: Killer Gandry The Germans were at my house I was told you resign But I could not And I took my gun.

Are these some sorts of things in Gallente folklore? The translation is amusingly quirky and I'm tempted to believe somebody might have been having a little bit of fun with you in the details there monsieur Gandry. It is a song a partizan who being told he must surrender to the invaders of his homeland decides instead to take up arms and continue the fight from the shadows of the country and tells his experiences in doing so (which include the heroism of fellow citizens). Some racial groups in the Gallente Federation (including my own) do trace their ancestry from a nation of old Earth on the other side of the Eve Gate some 20,000 years ago. These were the French that the singer associates himself with. I believe the "germans" were the invaders in a bitter war thought between the humans of that remote time and certainly suits their reference in the song. You are right to refer to the legends as folklore though monsieur Jaiga, and I certainly infer no criticism in the term. But impressive is it not that such stories echo down the ages in song and still speak to our experience today? Join the Revolution!

Because for the Matari nothing is more important then personal freedom, in the State the well-being of the corp you work for and the State itself comes before that. The differences in their cultures are just too big
Killer Gandry Caldari	Posted - 2011.03.17 21:45:00 - [44] Caldari don't feel the need to cry like little babies about what they list, they just take revenge in some form. Some revenge is still being build up. Let's just say that part of the State isn't done yet with the Gallente Federation. Do not fear death so much but rather the inadequate life.
