Around New Eden - Day 19
Region: Great Wildlands
The last 'day' that I spent travelling and documenting my explorations around New Eden was back in November, 2011. Gee, it's been a while.
So I've spent some time today to re-familiarise myself with my travels so far. I've marked off the visited systems on some region maps, and I've printed out my planned path around New Eden.
I've even made sure that I continue where I left off.
N-DQ0D
Average system, a reasonably amount of activity (there were a few people travelling through at most times).
And now I'm going to go get some sleep.
It's nice to be back on the exploration trail! See you next time.

Roll call for active Eve Bloggers
Back in the prime of www.evebloggers.com, I had a list of over 600 blogs. I'm wondering how many active Eve bloggers there are right now.
I'm curious to know. If you're an active Eve blogger, please just say hi and include a link to your blog. I'd love to check it out.
I'm also considering how I can be of assistance to the Eve blogging community again, since it was such a large part of my activities in the past. I think it'd be pretty cool to make it part of my activities again.
What does the community need? How can I help?
Please comment below.

Oh, it's Black Claw again
Since my last post back in April I've had a lot of things happen in my life. I got back into Eve back then but then, but quickly got back out again. It just wasn't the right time for me to come back and hang around.
I'm coming back again now. Will it be the right time this time, or will I again come and go quicker than you can say "Hey, where's Black Claw gone?"
I don't know. All I can do is give it a try again and see if I hang around for longer than a day.
The exploration of the galaxy will continue.
So what's changed in New Eden since I was last here?

Where did Black Claw go?
Back in January I wrote about how I was 'untethering' from all these things in my life, clearing out 'stuff' and making things simple again. I wanted to try new things and felt that Eve was, in some way, preventing me from doing them by taking up my time. I handed over OUCH to my senior staff. I quit OUCH and moved on, back into my old corp Scorpion's Sting. I gave up www.evebloggers.com to someone else.
It felt great to let go of everything!
I stopped playing. I did the other things and certainly enjoyed them, but recently I've been feeling a pull to get back into Eve. I'd been playing it since the beginning of 2006, and I think there's traces of Eve in my blood or something. It flows within me, and it calls to me. It calls!
After four or five months without it, I'm feeling like it's a good thing to get back into it. It was slowly rising in me over the past couple of weeks, and my post 11 days ago was a somewhat cryptic message about these feelings stirring within me. "My blood is moving. It's like.... I'm coming back to life or something." And I felt that Eve was calling me, like a flame and I was the moth. "Is there a light? Surely there's gotta be a light."
But I wasn't entirely sure at the time I wrote that. I just wanted to write it, and see how I felt about it. But since writing it, the urge to come back has grown.
Today I actually became active again. I created a new thread on the Eve forums, and I reactivated my G+ page.
Honestly? I think I needed the break, but now I'm back. And it feels good to be back into it.
It's nice to have no responsibilities and no 'administration'. It's nice to feel all fresh about it again. I went through my eve mail and deleted close to 100 pages of mail - all of it, gone. I didn't read any of it, and I kept nothing. Everything that I've done before no longer applies. It's a new start.
I'll be continuing my travels, documenting every single system in the entire galaxy, and I look forward to seeing some of you around New Eden. Some of you I'll be dodging! But I'll enjoy all of it.

The adventure continues
I've gone through some recuperation for being in stasis for so long. It did some damage to my eyes, apparently, but they're all better now.
I forgot how to use some of the ship controls. Would you believe that? But after a few minutes I was able to get back into it all.
I've spent some time today getting things back in order. I've been re-working my page on Google+ and becoming sociable again on it. I've also started a new thread on the Eve Forums because someone had locked my old thread. Maybe it was because I hadn't updated it in a few months, I don't know.
I also checked out the map and past blog posts to work out where the hell I was, where I'd been, and where I'm going.
The adventure continues!
I'm going to be hanging out in my in-game channel when I'm online: Black's Travels
It would be great if you could join me there and say hi.

Am I alive?
Something's moving. I can feel it stirring.
What's going on?
My blood is moving. It's like... I'm coming back to life or something.
Darkness. That's all I can see.
Is there a light? Surely there's gotta be a light.
Where am I? Wait... Who am I?
Oh... I remember. Black Claw. That's what they called me.
What happened? Why can't I see?
