The Pickup Truck Diaries: “The Second Most Prolific Poet In History” & Goal Setting.

Let’s start this edition of The Pickup Truck Diaries with a rhetorical question: “How does one go about achieving the goals they’ve set for themselves?” I’ll give you a few minutes to pause and think about that. Most folks have already started churning their brains into realistic “brass tacks”...

Central Universe Science Fiction Shorts: An Update!

Campfire. Come gather 'round the campfire. Let me tell you a story. Several small ones, in fact! It started a month or two ago, when I had a bunch of hits on "Our Better Angels" via the 'ol analytics. Now, I've been running this little business for half a decade - so out of neurotic perfectionism,...

McRae’s MTG Corner: The Rainbow Bible. (AKA The Rukarumel “Gay Pirates!” Tribal Tribal CEDH Primer.)

WARNING: This piece clocks in at 62,000+ words. It currently holds the record for longest "CEDH Primer" ever written. (Although it's more like a textbook or resource guide to Tribal Archetypes, and Rainbow/5c Magic, really.) It is over half the size of my sci fi books. Please remember to drink...

McRae’s MTG Corner: Tempo For Dummies (Especially For Commander.)

Aight, we back yet again. Somehow in my long years of being an L1 Judge and Modern and EDH player, I had never realized that learning tempo in Magic The Gathering is a rather visceral experience, in that you learn experientially. For the layman, that means that you have to learn that deep sense of...

McRae’s MTG Corner: Siloing CEDH & EDH

Ew, I got CEDH in my EDH… Today we’re here to talk about power levels in the casual commander format, as well as how to encourage better CEDH & EDH play by more carefully separating the two formats despite their strange interwoven nature. As a “retired” L1 Judge for Magic: The Gathering, I’m...

Worst Of The Worst.

Becoming Beast;In the dark.Feral creature of base desires.Dripping of saliva,Twisting of the tongue.Before dragging it across lips.Lines of moisture,Intermingled substances.Terrified sounds in the dark.Tension in moans,Escaping from throats.Brutish.Confident.Hungry.Worst Of The Worst.

Fangs Meet Tail.

May I gag upon my own tail,Fangs tearing my own black scales,Asunder.Gnawed nearly to the bone.Destroy myself,'Ere long.I need a keeper.Someone to play,My long lost self-preservation complex.Somebody to hold me back,From self destruction.My oldest flame.Death herself.

Never Lie To Me.

Never lie to me.I shoot straight,Live with honor.Don't do well with liars,Charlatans,Devoid of substance,Integrity.Lest you drain of soul,Give thyself unto the rapture.Become as light.Take these hopes,Carry them skyward.Set them free.Even on my deathbed,Don't lie.

Hermits Like Me Must Pay Penance.

Part of why,I cannot let anyone close:Fear.That I'd drink them dry.Feeding on soul,Emotion,Devotion.My ugly tragedies,Cannot bear such weight.Traumas of yesteryear,Makings of a shitty monk.Villain turned pacifist,After decades of war.You cannot support me.Hermits like me must pay penance.
