JC and NYC Rob on the radio and shit

This past weekend, Jersey Campbell and NYC Robert- on behalf of VERGE- were invited to Best Kept Secret. Judging by the name, we're guessing some of y'all don't know what Best Kept Secret is... let's clear it up. It is a web radio show on the SUNY Old Westbury Web Radio network hosted by Lady Rae. But shhh, keep it a secret. 

Here is a brief clip from the interview showing our very own JC performing some poetry for the listeners. Yeah, we video record radio shows, because there are no morals. Listen.. and be enthralled. 

A name is never yours until you accept it. by NYC Robert

Though from birth we are given a name; and do summon ourselves to responding to it. We do not, at that age, have the competence to make a decision if we want to change it. In many cases, if not all, that decision cannot be made,at that age, mainly because we have not been exposed to other names. A contrasting similarity is food. When an infant is first exposed to food it picks and chooses what it likes and doesn't. However, if you only had one type of cereal, milk, bread, chicken etc... You would then have no choice other than to eat what is given. Thus, an infant truly can't make decisions whether they want there name or not because they know no different.

*Vicarious World's Best of the Month*: Joooo-lie

Hey there. Unfortunately, the whole crew of Wannabe Writers found it OK to take breaks from their duties to Vicarious World. That, or they believed VW to be on the same schedule as K-12 schools here in the greatest country in the world. USA! USA! USA! Somehow, someway, we dug up some excellent content from the month of the July... all for the benefit of our three readers. Read, and be merry.

Can a guy have female friends while in a relationship? by NYC Robert

This question dawned on me when I had asked a girl (I don't know her very well, but it seemed like we share common interest), "Would she like to get some lunch?" At the time, she knew enough about me to say that it wouldn’t be appropriate, solely because I am in a relationship. Though I had a feeling that would be her answer, I didn’t quite understand. She went on and on and simply concluded that it wouldn’t be right. Still, I didn’t understand. I then turned the scenario around, and asked her if she has male friends. Turns out, she does. I dug a bit deeper, "What's the difference between them and me?"After we discussed it for a while longer I realized she wasn’t saying much, just repeating herself. She also wasn’t stating much other then, "Because you're in a relationship."

Jersey Campbell interviews... NYC Robert: Pt 1

Editor's Note: There's a new feature here at VW called "Jersey Campbell Interviews..." They aren't really interviews, but conversations with specific talking points JC (he wants us to call him that now, and it's not because of his adoration for the guy from N'Sync) wants to address. They will be in written format until we figure out how to get the audio files on the website. Bear with us. One day it'll be a podcast and we'll all strain to hear his accelerated speech. Read.. and be merry. 

 

Jersey Campbell: Hello. This is the first interview in a series of interviews entitled “Jersey Campbell Interviews…”

Today we are interviewing a good friend and a fellow contributor to Vicarious World, NYC Robert.

NYC Robert: It’s about time you had me on this show Jersey. My god, what’s been taking you so long?

JC: It’s about time? This is the first one…

Rob: Let’s keep ‘em coming.

JC: Yeah. You uh, popped my cherry. Let’s get down to business. Real talk, how many women do you have?

**Vicarious World's Best of the Month**: the May edition

Excuse us for being a little late this time around, our editor-in-chief was on his period, he can't operate when the blood is flowing through his vagina. Regardless, we've had the usual going on around here this past month, NYC Rob doing the damn thing, and likewise for KV Sart. Jersey Campbell has taken a leave of absence to scout the PLNL franchises for our upcoming season preview, it looks like he never wants to return. Sucks because the season started a month ago. He's about to get fired. Forget about him (and all the fellatio he's probably getting right now), let's focus on the dandies we've piled up in the month of May.

The Mr. Misunderstood by NYC Robert

He is often misunderstood. His kind heart, and very affectionate presence is almost always misunderstood by women. They merely assume that how He talks to them and treat them is how He feels; and although His feelings are true they do not control him. That is because He doesn't want a serious thing with any of them. He doesn't seek anything more than comfort, and hints of intimacy. Is it now unheard of to fill the aroma with such imaginable things and not fully be committed, some would say "yes," but not Him. the downpour of his Heart is within that pain. The pain that leaves them wanting more, more affection, and lust; more of Him.

His heart is now cold, to she who desired Him. She who desired His affection, and presence. She who wanted to gaze into His eyes. The eyes that seemed so kind, and magical. As if those dreams of finding Mr. Perfect can come true. "How could you?" she asked herself, while bathing in tears. Thinking back to all the wonderful times they shared. It's exactly how she imagined it should be, but not Him. He did not want her as His other half. Therefore, what more should He have wasted His time with her?

Steven's Self Conscious by NYC Robert.

Steven's Self Conscious talking

"Sometimes its hard to read her. I'm not sure if I should comfort, hold, or kiss her. I've thought about why I have trouble reading her. For one, she's a lot different than women I usually talk to.  And second, I actually have feelings for her. For me that is kinda shocking because I didn't want to develop feelings. It just happened so...so...well. Although I can nit pick at a few of her flaws; I overall can say she is very well rounded, but that scares me. Yeah life is about taking chances, but I'm protective over my feelings. And hurt is a feeling I'd not like to experience much. But still the journey could be rewarding...Ahhh...who knows maybe I should give her...I mean it...wait( big deep breath)...maybe I should give this a chance..."

The Girl He Never Had, Why Steven Didn't Get With Alexis By NYC Robert

Click here for Part 2 

Steven didn't think Alexis would have had such an incredible affect on him. The times they spent together were no more than that of casual innocence mixed with a hint of lust. However, the dates they went on weren't any different than of the ordinary; a movie here, a walk in the park there, and conversations filled with interesting questions. Steven began to have feelings for her; and although that is what he wanted. He did not want "those feelings." 

It ain’t ya beauty, it’s ya booty by NYC Robert

Recently, I’ve watched a lot of movies and shows that pertain to dating. I have discovered, from those movies and shows, that there’s always one person who just wanted sex from the buildup of a “relationship". Typically, it was the guy.

The Girl He Never Had Pt. 2 (Ride Home) by NYC Robert

The Girl He Never Had Pt. 1

While on the train Steven was ecstatic about the outing. He wondered if Aliyah felt the same; and although he didn’t know, she had. Steven thought to himself about the conversations they had, and also about her figure. Steven was beginning to catch feelings for her both emotionally and physically.

Though the night had seemed as if it were over, Steven had no idea what was to come on the train ride home. 

Our Weekend Together by NYC Robert

My weekend with you was more than special. Truthfully, I don’t think there is a word that can sum up how I felt.  It was a weekend of gentle, passionate, romantic, and kind innocence. To me, what we shared was what couples have been trying to find for years. Although it is the beginning for us I feel like every conversation with you feels like the beginning, and sometimes we talk about the same thing. 

I’m learning more and more about you so quickly, but in a good way. To explain, I know what you like, and what you don’t, but those are just parts that come so natural for me because I feel like I can read your mind sometimes. Almost like I know your next thought and what you are thinking. Like if you’re sad I can feel it, if you’re happy I know it, if you want me near you I sense it, and if you’re just being you, I dig it.   

Neither of us wanted the weekend to end. Now I’m miles away, but also a call away. Though the pavement separates us it will bring out the best in us.

Hold me by NYC Robert

Lying in bed wrapped in his arms, tucked closely to his chest. So close she felt his heart beating and he hers. She felt comforted, and secure. A feeling she longed for. The feeling of arousal through subtle innocence.

The day after February the 14th by NYC Robert

This Valentine's wasn't the most important thing on my mind. Though I took her out for dinner, I wasn't really focused on all the hype like I use to be. Now don’t get me wrong, I still feel very passionate about my significant other, but to signify a day for couples to show their love for one another is lame. What about all the other days in the year? It’s almost like he or she must get flowers, a card, and candies to show their love. But is that what truly demonstrates love?

The Girl He Never Had-Part 1 First outing by NYC Robert

Heading to an outing to meet up with a new acquaintance, Steven had jitters. Though the outing was no more than just that, he was unsure of what to say, or how to act. Steven even began to wonder if his attire was appropriate enough. He had on casual black shoes, dark blue jeans, and a fitted t-shirt; and although many women were checking him out on the metro, Steven paid them no attention. Instead, he was just focused on the outing with Alexis.

Dating: Has texting gone too far? by NYC Robert

Texting has changed the spectrum of communication completely. It's a quick and easy way to tell someone something, and has it's own language. From acronym's to facial expressions, many different things can be said in a text.

Sport: Mind Games by NYC Robert

I'm looking into the tunnel, but what's really at the end of it? Is it fans with tasty refreshments, or is it water and Gatorade filling the sidelines? Is it insanely loud spectators cheering for me or for another player? Or is it a marked off field with field goal posts at each end? What will be my destiny in the next sixty minutes? Will it be fame, or glory? Will I be famous for fumbling the ball, missing a big catch, or not shaking defenders off? Will I walk off the field with my head high in victory? Penciling out the endless possibilities I feel they still have no affect on what I am about to do. Instead, they’re just mere imagines of my real opponent. It's apparent if I beat my mind, I can beat anyone. Game Over! 

What attracts you? by NYC Robert

Have you ever thought about what attracts you the most to someone you view as your potential significant other?

What attracts me: I'm attracted to women who play hard to get but, at the same time, let's me know she's interested. To me that's a turn on. Not just because it's a challenge, which I like, but also because I know she's not an open book. The mere fact that I cannot read her troubles me(I can read just about everyone women in seconds). I then become curious to find out more, and although she may be stunningly attractive it doesn't matter. Just the fact that she's curious makes me want to be Inspector Gadget with her.

Share what attracts you, I'd like to read it.

Rough Economy: How to keep your relationship by NYC Robert

The other day while listening to z100, radio station, the host was talking to an artist about his latest song. It's about the difficulties for relationships in these tough economic times.Although I didn't hear the song the interview was insightful. I'm sure those ofyou in relationships now can agree that money is tight and the things that you twouse to do you probably can't do as much, or not even at all anymore. Ending yourrelationship because of the economy would be foolish, I think, so I've put togethersome ideas that can help you two get through this economical rough patch.
