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 Mad Murmurings of Depression.

I can never let it win, you see. I refuse to go out like Williams, Bourdain, and so many others. I won't let it kill me. I can't let it kill me. I must pretend to be immortal, if only to trick myself into living.

My Flock.

Cackling at death.As if a hundred poets,Or thousand philosophers,Could martyr to break the veil.As if some could write of her,My closest lover.Fie!I do not need your empty carcasses.I've my flock,To tend to.Red strings.Tethers to my spirit,To ensure clean hauntings.My precious ghosts.

Memory Fragment \\ Happy Birthday.

Cross legged atop the mountaintop peaks, I chugged the last of the alcohol and contemplated my existence. My birthday always used to prompt a journey to the summits, followed by a drunken meditation alongside a now dead dog. Never found myself, up there. But I buried myself up there more than once.

I will build back my power.Piece by piece.Sweat and strain,Towards strength.Become the monk once more.

Different.

Then collapse will come,Power & wealth in tow. How will I avoid such corruption,While holding the reigns of destiny? Humans are inherently selfish, lazy,We know how power corrupts… I've watched a hundred heroes,Succumb to it. Perhaps,A supervillain could be different.
