Jersey Campbell's Vocabulary Word of the Day: Recalcitrant

Good day to you. We've got another Vocabulary Word of the Day for you to soak into your brain thingy.

As you can see, the Wannabe Writers of VW are all on vacation right now, including me. We do have lives outside of bringing incomparable joy to our five readers. Jeez. Read... and expand your vocabulary.

Recalcitrant: resisting authority or control; not obedient or compliant; refractory
                     hard to deal with, manage, or operate

Example: JC was a recalcitrant little bugger in adolescence; his parents often had to slap him up due to his unruly nature and rude attitude. Ain't shit change.

Jersey Campbell's Quote of the Day: Happy Independence Day

Just wanted to take some time out to wish all the Anglo-Saxon White Men Who Own Property a very very happy Independence Day. We wouldn't be free without you! God bless the Minute Men! Death to the Redcoats!

Today's very special Quote of the Day comes to us from a document familiar to me and my fellow American lovin' patriots- the Declaration of Independence. You never know, I might write one of these soon. Probably not though, that was a joke. Please don't arrest me.  

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men* are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

- Taken from my boy Thomas Jefferson (used to call him 'TJ' back in the day) in The Declaration of Independence. 


*'Men', not women. Women weren't ready yet.

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 June Edition

Good day folks. What a month here at VW. This month saw the debut of VERGE, "an organization dedicated to self-expression, intellectual engagement, and productive networking." They had their first Open Mic Night, and we're hearing it was great success! Not to be outdone by anyone, JC was resurrected and promptly went about carrying the blog on his back do. Brother even wrote two poems! Up is down and down is up, dogs are humping cats, NYC Rob is physically attracted to men, mass hysteria all around! 

This One Has No Name by KV Sart

We lie together in the morning,

Her head on my shoulder,

My arm around her body,

Wrist over her waist,

Our hands together.

And slowly,

As she falls back to sleep,

Her grip slacks,

Her hand twitches,

Then her body.

The phone alarm sounds.

She looks up at me.

Her face is naked;

Nothing over the eyelids,

Nothing over the lips,

Nothing over the cheeks,

Nothing to tame the hair.

VERGE Presents Open Mic Night

This Tuesday, every Tuesday, VERGE presents Open Mic Night @ Retro Lounge in Freeport, NY.

That is all.

Jersey Campbell's Vocabulary Word of the Day: Garland

Vicarious World would like to introduce you to Jersey Campbell's Vocabulary Word of the Day. In the ongoing effort to limit the amount of words Mr. Campbell can use in one post, he has created another ruse. We don't mind. Nobody has enough time in the day to read his 10,000 word feature pieces. Read... and be educated. 

Somebody told me that here at VW we're all about educating and enlightening the people. So I said to myself, "what better way to educate the people then by expanding their vocabulary?" Thus, the Vocabulary Word of the Day was born.  As with all my other "...of the Day" posts, these will not come every day, but it makes the title sound cool, nah mean? Let's get the goin'.

Garland: wealth or festoon of flowers, leaves or other material, worn for ornament or as an honor or hung on something as decoration.

            In a sentence:

            When I’ll Have Another fulfilled his animal slave duties and won the 2012 Kentucky Derby, he was presented with a garland of roses, which we all know a horse could give two shits about.

Introduction by Jersey Campbell

The Upstanding Members of V.E.R.G.E.

Ideas, thoughts, bursting from the mind

In due time

Young, immature thoughts actualized, released from the cage inside

And it’s the grind

We are on the verge

Forever on the verge

These are not just words

But ideas manifested and brought forth into this world

V.E.R.G.E. presents Open Mic Night @ Retro Lounge. Freeport, NY. Today, Tuesday, June 19th. 8 PM.

It's going down tonight at Retro Lounge, Freeport, NY!

2012 Presidential Election Tale of the Tape: the Frivolous Facts by Jersey Campbell

 

No joke, we’ve got a presidential election coming up in less than six months. Are you hype? I’m hype! Can’t wait to NOT vote that day. It’s gonna be so much fun.

To prep the American public for this election, I, the one and only Jersey Campbell, have drafted a 2012 Presidential Candidate Tale of the Tape. Only Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are analyzed here because frankly, none of the other candidates matter. If you know who they are or caught a glimpse of them on any major news network it was a mistake. You will probably be labeled as a terror threat, hunted down, and killed. We will call it an accident, or suicide. There have been cases where people shoot themselves with sniper rifles from three miles away. This is America, we don’t business with alternatives.

In celebration of methods used by the news media to cover the all-important election, we will be measuring these two upstanding men according to factors that really have no bearing on how “right” they are for the American people. Basically, we’ll be ignoring the real shit. Let’s proceed.
