VBS visits the Republic of Kazantip, an annual month-long rave/orgy on the southern coast of the Ukraine. Ravers are called citizens, visas are required for entry, and there is even a Minister of Foreign Affairs. The whole scene is trapped somewhere in the 90’s with its platform shoes, pink dreadlocks and energy drinks. JoinVBS as we head to the Black Sea coast for the closing party and...
Sometimes
jaeboogie:
I just feel like deleting my facebook, twitter, and tumblr. In a sense committing virtual suicide. But then I realize I’m being dramatic. It’s kind of hard to leave the internet all together. But sometimes it’s nice to just think of leaving it all behind and forgetting about it. I mean, I would have a lot more time on my hands but I would inevitably get sucked back into the interweb...

I don’t really know what to say. Keep the country in your thoughts. There is a tsunami risk.
:/ Half my family is in Bariloche, Argentina - it’s 400 or so miles away, but that’s enough to at least feel an earthquake of that magnitude. I have no idea what the effects of a tsunami would be. Guess I’m not sleeping tonight.
wow 8.3 is pretty bad. I...
Two men cooked and ate a teenage girl
tamburina:
In St Petersburg, two 19 year old men killed and ate a 16 year old girl. Apparently they drowned her in a bathtub and then proceeded to cut her body into pieces and bake them with potatoes in the stove.
They said they ate her because they were hungry. Her remains were found later scattered in plastic bags around the city.

Update:
I think I’ve won my place on the plantation. The store manager never really made it clear as to whether my pre-employment screening came back clean, ya know, for corporate’s standards…
I do, however, have training in the corporate office tomorrow. Funny thing is, corporate is only a few blocks away from where I graduated highschool. From one institution to the next, funny in a...
CNN: Shamu kills trainer at Sea World. →
“The trainer was explaining different things about the whale, and then the trainer that was down there walked away from the window. Then [the whale] took off really fast in the tank, and he came back, shot up in the air, grabbed the trainer by the waist and started thrashing [her] around,” Biniak said.

Employment anxiety.
I took detox for a pre-employment screening for this job I’m trying to get. It’s not a job to write home about, but I do have the opportunity to work full time, with the option of a raise, relatively soon(ish).
I’m just worried that the detox (more like 5 hour masking agent) is going to test positive for the green goodies, or come up as diluted. Forcing me to a) re-take the...

Pole dancing an Olympic Sport? →
There are 150,000 petitioners who have signed on, pushing to make pole dancing an olympic sport. One dancer had this to say, “I would look to a sport like gymnastics especially with the apparatus type competition they’re on a horizontal bar we’re on a vertical bar.”
My Background: So it ain’t clean, but it’s a start.
