Bio
I guess I put off writing this as long as possible :D My name is Victor and I'm a young man (lets just say I have an ego beyond my years), a New York native living in New England. I'm a single, cynical, wittily comedic, actor-wannabe with a deep seated interest in psychology and philosophy (I've been likened to Nietzsche more times than I can count). I like the band RUSH way too much, and am thoroughly engrossed in music. Oh yeah, and I write stuff for fun. (All prose and short stories are copyright Victor Schwartz 2009 unless otherwise stated)

Just a Heads Up

Lately, many of you may (or may not) have noticed that I haven't been around. This is for two very good reasons. Reason one: I have two jobs now trying to save up as much money as possible, which is seriously cutting into my time for R&R. Reason two: I want… Read full post »
I dunno if you've heard this or not, but Scotland is now officially the Western Worlds' retarded cousin. I'm going to try and tell you what happened, but I hafta go fast, because if there are any pauses during which my brain can process what I am saying, my poor cerebrum… Read full post »

Why I Need A Dog

People suck. I can't stand people. I have been trying for a while to change this opinion, to become a social person, but I just can't get around the facts. I wanted to be popular when I was younger, to have people appreciate me, to be everyone's pal. As I grew… Read full post »
It's late at night, and the networks are all broadcasting their talk shows that have become a who's who of upcoming movies and bands. But after watching these shows for a while now, I've come to a conclusion: With the notable exception of Craig Ferguson, they suck major wind.

Old Dog, New Tricks

He was born 5 days before me. Well, 5 days and 26 years before me. He started off as a promising actor, but developed problems with alcohol and other substances. Many people didn't think he'd ever return to the big screen. And yet he has.
 
Robert Downey Jr. has become… Read full post »
As many of you know already, I am headed across the country in a couple of months to begin life as a college student. However, something has happened back home, and I'm afraid it's time for me to look toolder, wiser folks for advice. Asking for input is not something my… Read full post »

Death or Glory

The sweat ran down his forhead. The Jeep bounced across the rugged terrain, and the four passengers bounced with it. The radio blared, some hard rock. Typical.
 
His back hurt. Damn Dos Equis.

So music is a passion of mine, as moany of you know, but my taste in music is generally considered suspect. Usually I just get weird looks when I give people the name of a band or artist, and I suddenly realized, I should stop blowing these folks off. So here,… Read full post »
I was caught by a friend of mine the other day reading my well-thumbed copy of the graphic novel From Hell. I was shocked by what they had to say.
 
"Dude, you still read comics?"

The Name's Fail. Epic, Fail.

Have you ever wanted to be a spy? John Sawers did. And unlike you, John Sawers became a spy. Unless of course, you are a spy. If you are, then you are already better at your job than John Sawers. You see, while you were out doing your secret spy shit… Read full post »

Who Cares?

Given all the press that the recent rash of celebrities joining the Pearly Gates Club, I have to bring forth a point that I do every single time someone famous dies: why do you care? Unless you knew said celebrity personally, then it's just another dead guy. Don't these people get… Read full post »

I am Now Officially Entitled

Rather than made snide remarks about the recent advent of advertisments or making some glib memorial about the most well known of the Jackson Five, I decided to just relax a little bit and watch some good old fashioned comedy. For this, I turn to my trustworthy 16 DVD box set… Read full post »

A warning: This is a pitch I sent in to Cracked.Com as an article. It is, rude, and at times lewd. I think it's pretty funny, but it isn't for the easily offended. Read at your own risk :D

Okay, that's a little misleading. I think I got, like, a C in physics, but anything below a B is failing to me, so whatever. June 18th, 2009. Never again shall I set foot in my high school. I'll never again get called into the office because the internet is… Read full post »

The Greatest of Men

And so he hangs,

by feet and hands,

upon those criss crossed wooden bands.

Dying for us,

so they say,

in desert lands so far away.

yet what we've gained,

from the story told,

is that every life can still be sold.

Why should we bother,

why should we try,

when… Read full post »

Oh, the Hypocrisy!

Recently, the Obama administration has been working hard to bring about a treaty with the United Arab Emerates. The treaty is a nuclear pact similar to the one that has already been established with India. If passed, the United States would share nuclear technology, expertise, and fuel, and in return… Read full post »

If, as the above poster suggests, 400 million people were waiting for the truth, I hope to Christ they didn't watch this movie. It's an interesting idea, and the movie had potential: it could've earned its place as one of the great movies. But no, this… Read full post »

This is for the most unnappreciated band member of all time. Everyone loves to rave about those awesome electric guitar riffs, or that double necked beast that Robbie Robertson is jamming out on. We all can't wait to tell our friends about the awesome singer with… Read full post »

 

I love music. I play it or sing it or hum it or whistle it nonstop. I suspect that there is some sort of music eminating from me while I sleep. Now, I usually stick to the classics; The Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Cream,and my long standing favorite band… Read full post »

I was taking a look at CNN, as I am wont to do, and I found an article. Since I think that stirring up the shit is necessary from time to time, I'm bringing it to your attention. Let me explain. No, it's too long, let me sum up ;)
I recently applied for college (yes, I know what month it is, and yes, I am totally and certifiably insane. I have proven this on many circumstances. Okay Victor, get back to the fuckin topic). They were all fine schools that offered specialized acting programs where they would teach me to… Read full post »

Truthiness

Well, the truth of the matter is, the only guesses I've recieved so far have cleverly avoided the actual truth to my three statements. If you haven't guessed yet, you might want to. But if you're the kind of person who likes dessert first, scroll down.
