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...

The Imperative.

What know you,Of the imperative?The way of will.Commands -Blunt and jarring.A librarian to a fool,A scientist to a christian,A truth in annihilation of a lie.It is power,Massing in the heart.Dominating.Warping destinies -In which we should have died.Decades ago.

Amorphous Selves.

Rather dream,Of fractals.Amorphous selves,We wish for.But we,Are rooted in this, reality.Bound by The Brutal Calculus,Twin demigods;Of Physics & Biology.Those futures,We must accept as out of our reach.So instead,We must prepare to pass it all on,Towards futures we hold in our hearts.

Speaking In Mathematics.

Can you see supernovae,Nebulas of gas and promise -Leading to fusion,Fission,Nuclear promises of light,And life.Spontaneous combustion -Based on mass,Density.Would I write in mathematics,To speak in languages you understand.Show you promises,Of interstellar life.

As Crazy As A Logger, Being Most Prolific Poet In History.

Heroic Epic -Of A Butterfly King,Remains sealed in dollar signs.Proof of vapid existence,Capitalism siphoning Art -Unto nothingness.Bring me singularity -Simply 'cause I've more faith in technology,Than Humans.How sad is that,Eh?As Crazy As A Logger,Being Most Prolific Poet In History.

Reductionist.

We become reductionist.Desecrating our hallowed divinities,For simpler existences.Consecrating the Empirical Method,Primed for war,Like the skalds of old.Wyrm song -The cult in chorus.Shattering reality,After reality,Until there are no universes left,But this one.

Personal Villain.

I have always been a criminal, In the eyes of the unjust. Ghetto is as ghetto does, Eh? Poor fucking assholes, Ragged across brambles. Rubbed raw by mother nature herself. I'm your own personal villain. Place your sins upon me, Project like a flashlight. I'll drink your...

“Why, are ye mad?”

Yes.Call it as you want.Neurodiverse.Disabled.crazyOlder Slurs I've Endured,Regarded,According to some.Eventually chose a life of mostly hermitage,Misanthropy Against The Humanist.Sometimes want to revert back,To that meltdown monster,Beast,Accused of being.Angry as fuck.Blind Rage.

Singing When I’m Happy.

Know when to dawdle,& when to sprint.Body moving faster than mind,Even if in autopiloted directions.When running,In shape,Let my jogging rhythm,Follow my music.Then once sorted,My mind was free to plot,Or plan.Write,Or process.Signs:Singing when I'm happy.Mental health,At a glance.

Creator.

Legends told,Of a being so powerful -It locked itself away,In a glass casket.Guarded by their chosen.Hidden beneath the tallest mountains,Slumbering forever.Truth is,Slumbering came first -Casket imposed after,By those same guardians.Until the devil came,Ate it all up.

Elements.

A beast stirs, Born from dust,Swirling to tower,Above prairie grass,Motes spin around,Its tramping feet,On withered yucca, The young emissaries,Flit and Fly,Alert me of,Coming frenzy from,That monstrous being's step, So I flee, I sucked in the cold air that my body so desperately needed.And then I...

Battle Scars \\ Still Kicking.

Sawn open wounds,Requiring cauterization.Sealing the gaping injury,Against infection.Rot.Salting,Even better.As old remedies go.My father is missing half the tip,Of his pinky.Chainsaws can certainly be lethal.Bucking Pants Failures.My scars are different.Some,Self inflicted.Others,Where skin...

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.

Culling Ritual.

Aye,Truth is -I've cast Culling Rituals before.Allusion to witchcraft,Gentle facades.Hiding the grim realities,Of runes carved into my bones,And sacrifice carved across my flesh.Equilateral exchange.Blood oaths,Blood curses.Weaving oblivion.Playing lover to the void.

Symbolisms Of Gluttony.

Kingcaller.Playing the angler fish.Lights in the dark.Safe havens in the crushing depths.Enough pressure to implode.Land of cold,& madness.Needle teeth tragedies.Beast or predator.The snake.Eating thy own tail.Symbolisms of gluttony.Greed.Infinite beginnings.Infinite ends.Void.excess

PNW.

Torrential Downpours,Are common to this Pacific Northwest,Of mine!Craving the four months of Summer,Between aeons of rain.Solar Powered.
