“So, what’s the Secret to your success, Gerry?” The Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II asks, the world famous South Beach Night Club Impressario, at His Majesty’s Royal Ball before entering the VIP section, where members of The Clinton Machine mingled in 2016.
“People like you.” Gerry Kelly answered, while making his way through a crowd of celebrity elites including Hillary Clinton’s Brother, Hugh Rodham.
Minutes later, the infamous photograph of the Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo sitting beside Hugh Rodham in the VIP Section, holding an autographed “Crackhead Jesus is coming” sticker, weeks before the heated Trump vs. Clinton 2016 U.S. Presidential election, triggered Facebook and Instagram owner, Mark Zuckerberg, in collusion, with The Clinton Machine, to censor the digital footprint of Victor-Hugo Vaca II by permanently banning the modern-art-gonzo-journalist from both social media platforms.

“God is an artist and we are all artists, because we all came from nothing; the moment of creation starts with a big bang, on a blank canvas, the rest is history.” – Victor-Hugo Vaca II
The original version of the Crackhead Jesus saga, premiered to sold out crowds, at an interactive event, during Miami Art Basel Week in 2007.
The once censored story, about the birth of modern-art-gonzo-journalism in America, was inspired by Florida Court Case #50-2006-CC-016579, dubbed, “The Crackhead Jesus Trials”, by media outlets.
2007- Miami New Times First Mentions Crackhead Jesus In Print.
The contentious title character, Crackhead Jesus, whose name has slowly creeped into the vernacular as urban slang, meaning; hypocrite, scoundrel or devil, has been mentioned, uncensored, in several mainstream media news outlets, including: The Miami New Times, Suffolk Times, The Happy Herald, South Florida Gay News and on FOX News, with Megyn Kelly, as well as with subtle censorship, by the USA Today Network and The Palm Beach Post.
The Palm Beach Post – Subtle Censorship.
On March 13, 2017, the following letter to the editor was sent to the USA Today Network editors:
To Whom It May Concern,
Subtle censorship is a slippery slope, filled with false narratives that create fake news and collapse public trust in news media outlets. On March 1, 2017, the USA Today Network published an article by Lisa Conley on the worldwide web titled, “Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca Jr. paints ‘diary of the world on canvas‘”.
The popular article was quickly picked up by several news outlets including The Tennessean, The Naples News and The Marco Eagle. Kudo’s to Conley for succinctly communicating the concept of the Modern Art Music Movement (MAMM) and modern-art-gonzo-journalism for readers.
As Conley’s article gained audience, the real news headline was abruptly changed to a fake news headline: “Marco Visitor Vaca Paints To Create ‘Diary Of World On Canvas’”.
The truth is, my stage name, when performing in public with the Modern Art Music Movement (MAMM), is the “Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo”, whether raising money for charities and scholarships in Marco Island or awareness about rarely covered social issues in venues across the United States.
The editorial decision to change the true title to a fake news headline is concerning and of interest to the public trust because, if anything I was in Marco working to raise awareness about dubious newspaper headlines while raising money for educating future competent investigative journalists, like Conley, not visiting or vacationing, as the title implies.
It is curious, to say the least, that the USA Today Network would choose to bury a story about modern-art-gonzo-journalism, by purposefully changing the title to mislead algorithms and search engines, at the height of public interest. USA Today editors, using archaic, truth-defying-standards, appear to rationalize the perpetuation of false narratives, through misleading headlines, as a way of dumbing down the public. It is no wonder that smart readers have fled, in hordes, from subscribing to the poetic-misinformation peddled by newspapers as fact.
Rather than informing, the substituted headline, serves to confuse readers and fans, none of which know me as Vaca, with a nonsensical caption that buries the popular story on the internet; thus, depriving students researching emerging art forms and art movements of cultural significance in human history, during revolutionary times of change.
The headline presumes rather than informs and assumes that public trust in reporting is infallible. Furthermore, the substituted headline serves to fuel recent Gallup Polls that indicate waning public trust in mainstream news media because subscribers and readers are not as dumb as editors seem to think. If an educated consumer is your best customer, how can you expect to gain new subscribers if you continue to dumb down your audience with bogus headlines?
The question for USA Today editors who chose to burden Conley’s work with a fake news headline, five days after the real news headline premiered on the internet is: “Will the headline, ‘Willie Nelson at Artis-Naples’ eventually be changed to read, “Nelson Visits Naples” and will a performance by Lady Gaga, Sting or Cher in Marco Island receive the headlines, “Marco Visitor [Whatever Lady Gaga, Sting, or Cher’s Last Name Is] Sings Songs About Life”?
Respectfully,
Victor-Hugo Vaca Jr.
On March 14, 2017, editors at The USA Today Network changed the caption on Lisa Conley’s article once again. The third headline reads: “Marco visitor Victor-Hugo Vaca Jr. puts ‘diary of the world on canvas'”.
Artist Victor Hugo Vaca Jr. USA Today Network News
The new fake news headline, which corrects the artists name, still falsely suggests to readers that Victor-Hugo Vaca Jr., while on vacation in Marco, decided to put a diary of the world on canvas. The new, misleading internet headline, suggests to readers, that if Lady Gaga, Sting, or Cher were to perform in Marco Island, the Naples News headline would read, “Marco Visitor [Lady Gaga, Sting, Cher] Sings Songs About Life”.
It begs the question, “What was wrong with the original, honest headline, ‘Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca Jr. creates a diary of the world on canvas’, that editors felt compelled to change the caption for readers, not once but twice?”
Artist Victor Hugo Vaca Jr. USA Today Network News
If USA Today Network editors wanted to include Marco Island in the caption, all they had to do to keep readers truthfully informed, rather than woefully misinformed, was add the words, “in Marco Island”, to the headline, so that it reads: “Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca Jr. creates a diary of the world on canvas in Marco Island”. Instead, editor’s at the USA Today Network chose to confuse and dumb down audiences with misleading news headlines, again.
USA Breaking News picks up story with true headline for readers.
In 2009, the New York, Suffolk Times used ‘Crackhead Jesus’ in print headlines.
The first time, “Crackhead Jesus”, was heard on television around the world, was on FOX News, with Megyn Kelly, during a now infamous live interview, about censorship and the arts.
Megyn Kelly FOX News Victor-Hugo Vaca Jr.
“Women’s Day figurehead and Democratic Party Leader, Nancy Pelosi, set Women’s Rights, around the male dominated world, back generations, by failing to publicly denounce the racist sexual-assault gang rape joke about Kellyanne Conway, at a Congressional Dinner, made by misogynist democrats, that makes Donald Trump’s grabbing pussies joke, sound like a Hollywood handshake, in comparison.” – Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II
Stunning Performance By The McCoy’s Frontman, Inspires Music Industry Icons To Produce Historic Rock And Roll Memorabilia, On Canvas, In Fort Myers, Florida.
On February 24, 2012, Rick Derringer walked into a room full of rock and roll icons gathered for rehearsal and blew everyone in sight away, with one of the most electrifying performances, any of the music industry legends had ever witnessed. The energy in the Sidney And Berne Davis Art Center, went from amazing to beyond intense, when Rick Derringer stepped on stage, grabbed the microphone and belted through a ferocious version of ,”Rock And Roll Hoochie Koo“, that left everyone in the hall breathless. The remarkable moment of Rock and Roll history was captured in a 41×56, work of art titled, “Live-Love-Flow“, manifested by the Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II, who was specially selected as an intuitive artist with synesthesia, to perform with the entertainment industry All-Stars, as part of the Modern Art Music Movement™ (MAMM).

“Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo” by Rick Derringer peaked at 23 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It was first released on the “Johnny Winter And“ LP (1970), with Rick Derringer and the McCoys (#1 “Hang On Sloopy”) backing up Johnny Winter. Derringer decided to re-record the song for his first solo single, on the 1974, “All American Boy“, LP.”Hoochie Koo” is short for “Hoochie Koochie,” which is sexual slang popularized by Muddy Waters in his song “Hoochie Coochie Man”.

Rick Derringer’s clever lyrics subversively imply female genitalia and the act of copulation:
“Hope you all know what I’m talkin’ about.
The way they wiggle that thing really knocks me out.
Gettin’ high all the time, hope you all are too.
C’mon little pussy gonna do it to you.”

Like the Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II, Rick Derringer was raised Roman Catholic and attended a private Catholic school, for eight-years, during his youth. After a time of intense personal struggle, Rick Derringer was reborn in his faith and rewrote the lyrics to, “Rock And Roll Hoochie Koo”, reflecting a less sexual and more spiritual mood:
“Couldn’t stop shouting when it first took hold.
It was an awesome night at the old church hall.
There was an old time preacher he was laying it down.
Heard the word and you know I can’t forget that sound.
Read the word, live it too.
Let the truth be seen in you.”
“LIVE-LOVE-FLOW” (41X56) BY THE MAVERICK ARTIST VICTOR-HUGO VACA II, CAPTURES THE UNIQUE MOMENT, WHEN RICK DERRINGER JOINED THE MODERN ART MUSIC MOVEMENT ALL-STARS, FOR A ROUSING RENDITION OF HIS CLASSIC ANTHEM, “ROCK AND ROLL HOOTCHIE KOO.”

In the years following the 2010 Haiti earthquake, The Clinton Foundation reportedly raised $30 million for relief projects, but locals say that the promises made by Bill and Hillary Clinton never fully materialized.
Haitian survivors who trusted, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to make good on her promises, to rebuild, have been left vulnerable and living in shanty structures, six-years after the catastrophic natural disaster. Victims point to luxury hotels that were allegedly constructed with The Clinton Foundation relief funds, to benefit the country’s ruling establishment, as the Category 4, Hurricane Matthew, rumbles towards Haiti, with expected wind gusts of 170MPH.
“HAITI MUSE” (36X48) UNIMPRESSED CAT, INSPECTS WORK IN PROGRESS, BY THE MAVERICK ARTIST VICTOR-HUGO VACA II.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, despite the obvious conflict of interest, decided to contract with The Clinton Foundation to provide for the relief effort in Haiti, following the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that left over 316,000 people dead and over 1.5 million survivors, destitute, while struggling with a deadly outbreak of cholera. According to the former Senate President of Haiti, Bernard Sansaricq, The Clinton Foundation stole billions from the Haiti relief fund.

Haitians, like Dhoud Andre of the Commission Against Dictatorship, have accused Bill and Hillary Clinton of duplicity, malfeasance, and theft. “We are telling the world of the crimes that Bill and Hillary Clinton are responsible for in Haiti.” Andre said.
As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, was in charge of allocating the $3.9 billion U.S. aid to Haiti. Bill Clinton was the designated UN representative for aid to Haiti. Together the Clintons controlled the flow of over $14.5 billion in aid donated to Haiti from around the world.
Astute Haitians noticed that a number of companies that received contracts in Haiti happened to make large donations to The Clinton Foundation. Haitian relief deals appeared to be a quid pro quo for filling the coffers of the Clintons.
For the first time in 50 years, Haiti awarded two new gold mining permits and one of them went to the company that had hired Hillary’s brother, Hugh Rodham, who mysteriously found himself on the advisory board of a U.S. mining company called VCS. In October of 2013, despite his never having any mining experience, VCS brought Hugh Rodham on board to help secure a valuable gold mining permit in Haiti. He was promised a “finder’s fee” if he could land the contract and sure enough, with the help of his sister, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, he did.

THIS PHOTO CAUSED “THE CLINTON MACHINE” TO INSIST THAT INSTAGRAM CENSOR AND DELETE THE PERMANENT DIGITAL FOOTPRINT OF THE MAVERICK ARTIST VICTOR-HUGO VACA II ON THE POPULAR SOCIAL NETWORK.
The Hugh Rodham mining deal provoked outrage in the Haitian Senate. “Neither Bill Clinton nor the brother of Hillary Clinton are individuals who share the interest of the Haitian people,” said Haitian mining representative Samuel Nesner. “They are part of the elite class who are operating to exploit the Haitian people.”
“Bank of America stole my money and The Clinton Machine censored my Instagram account.” – Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II

Rebuke Of Obama’s, “Anti-American Action”, Marks Historic Victory For September 11 Victims And Conspiracy Theorist’s, Seeking To Uncover The Truth, Behind The 9/11 Attacks On U.S. Soil, In 2001.
Thanks to pressure on government officials from alternative news outlets on the internet and public pressure from constituents and voters, as documented, in the modern-art-gonzo-journalism, fine-art, “9/11 Series” of paintings, the mysterious shroud of secrecy, behind what really happened, on September 11, 2001, often referred to as, “Conspiracy Theory”, by weak, neutered, investigative-journalists, working under severe editorial constraints, will finally be unveiled, in Court, to become historical archives for public consumption and universal introspection.
“CHAOS”, MODERN-ART-GONZO-JOURNALISM, BY THE MAVERICK ARTIST VICTOR-HUGO VACA II.
On September 28, 2016, The United States House of Representatives and The U.S. Senate, overwhelmingly handed the Commander In Chief, his first veto defeat, when they voted against President Obama’s attempt, to deny 9/11 victims and U.S. Citizens the right to pursue justice for acts of terrorism, committed in collusion, with terrorists, allegedly disguised as allies and home-grown terrorists, that have allegedly infiltrated the U.S. Government and creeped into the halls of the United States Justice system, spewing corruption and treason all the way up to and including, the hallowed White House, to the extreme and perilous detriment of all U.S. and civil society interests, in allegedly, knowingly, hiding and abetting, high level, foreign and domestic plots, to crush Democracy, destroy lives and kill millions of people in the New World Order.

“WHAT I SAW ON 9/11: WHY DO THEY HATE US?” MODERN-ART-GONZO-JOURNALISM BY THE MAVERICK ARTIST VICTOR-HUGO VACA II.
The 9/11 Series was created in honor of those lives lost on September 11th, 2001 and the legacy of the loved ones they left behind, who vowed to “never forget”. Immortalizing those words in works of art, honors the legacy and passion of those outliers and conspiracy theorists who are unwilling to settle for the status quo answer of, “Move on, Folks, there’s nothing to see here.”, while staring at the glaring inconsistency between what is being witnessed and what is being reported to citizens, as fact, by weak mainstream media news outlets in collusion with government information networks.

THE IMAGE IS SENT OUT EVERY YEAR AS A HOLIDAY GREETING TO FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES OF THE MAVERICK ARTIST, IN LOVING MEMORY OF THE 9/11 VICTIMS AND TO HONOR THEIR FAMILIES, IN FAVOR OF THE “NEVER FORGET” PHILOSOPHY.
The inexplicable implosion of World Trade Center Building 7, which allegedly was reported to the public by certain news outlets as having occurred, before it even happened, is described as “conspiracy theory”, by untrusted news media outlets that ignore evidence and facts in favor of copy and paste journalism, while working in collusion with corrupt government officials to mislead naive U.S. Citizens using rhetoric and hyperbole.
MODERN-ART-GONZO-JOURNALISM BY THE MAVERICK ARTIST VICTOR-HUGO VACA II EQUATES THE LIES TOLD BY TOBACCO COMPANIES TO THE LIES BEING TOLD BY U.S. GOVERNMENT AND PRESS, TO ALL U.S CITIZENS, REGARDING THE TRUTH BEHIND WHAT REALLY HAPPENED ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001.
Proponents of 9/11 conspiracy theories claim there are inconsistencies in the official conclusions from government investigations and evidence that was either ignored or overlooked by, “cut and paste reporters”, who claim to be, “investigative journalists”, working in an era when public trust in news media, is at an all time low.

The Undecided Voter and Millennials realize the question for those Independents still trying to decide between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton is, to put it bluntly: “Which Bully do you want in the White House, representing the best interest of you, your Children and seven generations forward and which Woman, as Commander In Chief, or First Lady, do you want to serve your bloodline, as a historical role model, for developing young girls and grown women; Meanwhile, setting a public example, for how developing young boys and structured men, should behave around girls, women, military veterans and police officers, for seven generations forward?”
THE UNDECIDED VOTER
The Undecided Voter, regardless of Sex, Race, Creed or Color, is looking to elect someone with common sense and a clear, forward, vision, to press the reset button, on a politically correct system, that is obviously broken and in dire need of realistic repair; Maybe not by a couple of seasoned bullies in the White House but by one passionate, outsider, claiming to be capable of working efficiently and in fair cooperation with other world leaders, using every available tool, rather than trusting stale, over-rehearsed, meaningless rhetoric, filled with false narratives, of half-truths, shining brightly in the hypocrisy of philanthropy.

The Undecided Voter was baffled by Donald Trump’s inability to clearly and succinctly communicate rebuttals, during his first, one-on-one debate with a seasoned politician, and a noticeably biased moderator, tossing irrelevant bread and circus distractions, disguised as relevant questions, carefully crafted to incite racial disharmony, by demanding self reflection, in presuming that all Americans, are inherently bias, racist and deplorable human beings, in order to provoke social discord, by fueling insecurity and public distrust of police, press and authority.
IT’S NOT A BLACK OR WHITE ISSUE, IT’S A CORRUPT LEADERSHIP ISSUE.
The Undecided Voter observes Hillary Clinton’s husband, Bill, and ponders the treatment of Veterans who risk their lives, in defense of freedom, for future generations of Americans, to live in a democracy, not an oligarchy, or plutocracy, reigned over by bullies and tyrants disguised as caretakers and do-gooders, who defy Rule of Law and don’t pay taxes, while pandering to Hispanics, Blacks and Women, by pretending to care about Mexicans, African-Americans and Venezuelan Beauty Pageant winners, all while attempting to dumb down masses into believing that, the “First Black President”, miraculously emerged from an Aryan vagina, belonging to a white woman named, Stanley Ann Dunham, with predominantly English but including German, Swiss, Scottish, Irish, and Welsh ancestry.

The Undecided Voter ponders the treatment of blacks by Caucasians, like Bill Clinton, demanding that Black Lives Matter supporters, ignore his oppressive legislation, supported by his wife, Hillary, and focus instead on getting their thirteen-year old kids, off of crack, so as to ward off any potential, Crackhead Jesus, exposing the truth of hypocrisy and foiling the so-called, Democratic process, for the United Slaves Of America.

NY Artist Victor-Hugo to Run for President
The column documented the under-reported presidential candidacy of the Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II, who entered the 2008 Presidential race to run against fellow former U.S. Naval Academy Midshipman Officer, John McCain and Freshman Senator Barack Hussein Obama, as reported in alternative news outlets around the world including newspapers in Iceland.

The BLOUINART INFOInternational Magazine article read:
Controversial Latino modern artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II, a native of Queens, N.Y., announced today his plans to pursue a spot on the 2008 presidential electoral ballot, taking on frontrunners Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
The artist said in a public statement that he will try to run for president while he continues to research his “Law and Justice in the United States” series of works.
The point of running for office, he explained, would be to educate his fans on the difficulty or ease with which a native-born American citizen can run for “the most powerful position in the world.”
He added that he hopes the investigation and his bid for the presidency inspires the “lied-to generation” to get more involved with politics and heed the warnings in Al Gores film, An Inconvenient Truth.
“I’m spending so much time in court investigating unethical attorneys and judges that I might as well find out what it takes to run for president while I’m there. Obviously, I realize that the biggest requirement is not intelligence or common sense—George W. Bush Jr. has proven that. Loads and loads of campaign contributions from interested parties is what is needed to win.” – Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II

The legendary modern-art-gonzo-journalism, “Crackhead Jesus Series”, by the Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II prognosticated a modern civil war in America, manifested by blatant public corruption, emanating out of the White House, enabled by biased news media and weak investigative journalism, whose cumulative effect, undermined the halls of justice, creating dangerous double standards, for favored elitists and notable public figures, protected by the FBI, Attorney General and Police, as underprivileged constituents are slaughtered in the streets, by those hired to serve and protect them, while grave injustice permeates unchecked, through U.S. Courtrooms, enslaving all Americans, regardless of race, creed or color, with a dangerously, double-standard, Rule Of Law.

The Undecided Voter notices that news outlets, owned by Caucasians, appear to be acting in collusion, with Presidential candidates, to recklessly toss the word, “racist”, around, in a subversive attempt, to promote a modern civil war agenda, that favors orchestrating riots, violent protests and looting, to produce anarchy, across the nation, for photo ops and soundbites, that increase ratings and profits white people.

The Undecided Voter, notices that news outlets, owned by white men, use titillating sex scandals and beauty-queen-fat-shaming, to deflect global attention, away from documented, top-down U.S. government leadership corruption, being promulgated openly, without shame, remorse or just punishment, under the nose of frustrated taxpayers and legal immigrants, in search of the, rapidly disappearing, American Dream.

The Undecided Voter, witnessed Hillary Clinton acting like an insincere, smiling, zombie, standing beside the face and hair of a passionate, Caucasian, presidential candidate, publicly exhibiting narcissistic, histrionic and antisocial tendencies, while blatantly throwing awkwardly, restrained fits of frustration, rather than perpetuating logic, in the face of waning public trust, in unapologetically biased news media, that favors wealthy, career politicians over eccentric, wealthy outliers, that threaten, to shake up the status quo of mediocrity, that has infected American mentality, in the early 21st Century .
“IN THE ABSENCE OF COMMON SENSE, YOU GET NONSENSE AND PRETENSE.” – MAVERICK ARTIST VICTOR-HUGO VACA II
Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Reflects Upon His Unique Experience As A Finalist, In “The Best Comic Standing Competition”, At The New York Comedy Club.
As an artist, I see no limitations, only challenges. Therefore, when I heard from friends in the entertainment industry that doing stand up comedy, in front of a live audience, is one of the most challenging things to do, if not the most difficult, in the business of entertainment, I realized I had to find out for myself, if this was, in fact, true. So, I convinced the owner of the New York Comedy Club, to let me enter “The Best Comic Standing Competition” in spite of warnings from the owners and seasoned stand-up comic professionals, that the audience would literally, eat me alive and throw me off stage, if my inexperience showed, in the least bit, during my performance as a comedian.
DETAIL FROM, “THE VIRGIN MARY AND LAMBCHOP VISIT AMSTERDAM”, MODERN-ART-GONZO-JOURNALISM BY MAVERICK ARTIST VICTOR-HUGO VACA II.
Part of being an artist is learning how to fail, because failure comes with risk and without risk, there is no progress and progress comes from learning to cope with the experience of disappointment and without disappointment, an artist can never experience success.
An artist, should always be smart enough to fear failure but strong enough to realize, that hard work and study of craft can minimize the risk. Therefore, as an artist, I listened to the sound advice of modern masters I have met, in my curious passage through this blessed, spectacular lifetime.
When I lived in Beverly Hills, California, I met “The Diceman”, Andrew Dice Clay, and at first I thought he was being insulting when, in front of his manager at a pizza shop on Rodeo Drive, he told me, “If you want to be Hollywood, Victor-Hugo, you have to act Hollywood.”
As a wayward artist, living in the 90210 zip code, The Diceman’s words threw me into a brief but deep depression, that caused me to soul search, while walking the streets of Hollywood alone. Eventually, I ended up at The Backstage Cafe, in Beverly Hills; Ian Copeland’s legendary, hole-in-the-wall club, frequented by the likes of Herbie Hancock, Slash, Sting, Elizabeth Hurley, Sharon Stone, Dr. Dre and Tom Hanks, where L.A.’s top musicians often show up, to jam on their off nights. While trying to make sense of what I perceived to be, Andrew Dice Clay’s insult to my face, Bill Maher, the celebrated comic, spilled a drink on me, while walking upstairs, to the VIP section, at The Backstage Cafe. Mr. Maher immediately apologized and graciously offered to by me a drink. I accepted his offer and joined Bill Maher at his table for an unforgettable learning experience, surrounded by Hollywood aristocracy, that would forever change my worldview and life, as a maverick artist.
At the end of the day, upon reflection, I realized The Diceman had done me a huge favor, because the meaning of what he said sunk in to the fiber of my being and opened my eyes to the reality that there are no rules in art. I learned that Hollywood is an illusion that exists within reality and to be a true artist, I must convey the tangible reality of illusions to audiences clearly and succinctly.
I never thought I would make it to the finals of a stand-up comedy competition but then again, I never thought I would earn my living as an artist, either. I was supposed to be a Doctor, dutifully serving my country and Brothers In Arms, in the United States Navy, after graduating from the prestigious, world famous, leadership laboratory in Annapolis, Maryland known as, the U.S. Naval Academy.
UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY MIDSHIPMAN OFFICER VICTOR-HUGO VACA II (USNA CLASS OF 93)
Alas, life has a funny way of happening when you least expect it and so I found myself, alone, on a beautiful beach in Florida, practicing my stand-up comedy routine, in front of an audience of sharks and fish, in the ocean.

ARTICLE DESCRIBING THE LIFESTYLE OF MAVERICK ARTIST VICTOR-HUGO VACA II.
For hours and days before my performances, I studied comics at home, on tv and practiced the timing and nuances of my carefully crafted routine, in front of the flying fish and circling nurse sharks, that served as my captive audience, in the ocean. I figured, if the sharks didn’t bite and the fish were jumping, it meant my comedy routine wasn’t half bad.
BEACH WHERE THE MAVERICK ARTIST VICTOR-HUGO VACA II PRACTICED HIS STAND UP COMEDY ROUTINES CAN BE SEEN IN THIS REAL ESTATE AD.
To my amazement, I made it past the first couple of rounds and into the finals of “The Best Comic Standing” competition. It’s not that I doubted myself, because I had practiced and was sure of my ability, at least in front of the fish and sharks, but the New York Comedy Club competition was full of lifelong talent, that graciously embraced me as a newcomer on the comedy circuit and I didn’t think I could compete against such seasoned professionals, all I was looking for was the experience, to be quite honest.
Winning posed a new set of problems, because it meant having to come up with seven minutes of new material every week, to move on to the next round and I wasn’t sure the fish and sharks could take any more of my nonsensical babbling every day in practice. The secret of stand up comedy is making the scripted material seem off-the-cuff. That, and winning the audience over immediately, for if you don’t have the audience in the palm of your hand, within the first fifteen seconds of your performance, the remaining time on stage will seem like an eternity in hell, for anyone attempting to do stand up comedy.
An angry audience can make a great white shark seem like Santa Clause and scar an artist for life, if one is not prepared to fall hard, on the sharp knife of failure, without a safety net. Stand up comedy is not for the insecure, timid or faint of heart but I can honestly say it was one of the most thrilling and rewarding experiences of my remarkable life. In closing, I will say this, when people laugh at you, it hurts to the very core of ones soul, which is why bullying is so dangerous and unacceptable in any civil society; on the flip side, one of the most satisfying things in life is to witness people laughing with you, it warms my heart to see people smile.
The following is footage from one of my performances at The New York Comedy Club during “The Best Comic Standing Competition”. I understand there is footage of my other stand up performances, floating around somewhere, in the ether of the internet, and if I ever find those clips, I will gladly share them with you as well, if you wish.
