Yesterday I posted a brief entry redirecting you to Stephanie's journal BamBam. She had posted an 'update' for us on the future of AOLJournals. After a barrage of comments, she gave us some clarification today.

Please visit the link, leave your comments, and tell us what you think about those proposed changes.

Stephanie, over at BamBam has recently posted an entry about some upcoming changes to AOL Journals. While not necessarily clear on the details her post does manage to stir the pot of controversy a bit. After reading it, I encourage you to comment in her journal and let us know here....what do YOU think is the future of AOL Journals?

All the news not fit to print - 10/16/06

I dont' care what you say - she's hot!

Did she get to start the reception by looking at her groom and saying, eat me?

It's the land where dreams come true!

Man, this burger's giving me the munchies.

The greatest event in the history of sport. Yes I'm plugging the YouTube video I'm a co-star in - watch and share, and comment :)

Leave us your thoughts, opinions, or links to wacky news stories you'd like to share.

Saturday Six

I know it's technically Monday, but Patrick's Saturday Six is too good to pass up!

Your Sloth Quotient: 52%


You're definitely lazier than the average person, but you're able to live a somewhat normal life.
All your life needs is a little more effort and variety, and you might see that doing hard things is actually fun!

Your Wrath Quotient: 44%


Ouch! You've got a bit of a temper going on there, don't you?
Just make sure to keep your revenge fantasies just that... fantasies only!
Your Lust Quotient: 72%


You are a very lustful person - and it sometimes gets the better of you!
You know how to hold back, but you hardly ever do.
Your Envy Quotient: 57%


You are an envious person, but only at times.
Perhaps certain situations trigger your envy. Or maybe you're especially jealous when you're feeling insecure.
Instead of letting that green monster out, work on making your own life better.
And then maybe people will be envious of you.
Your Pride Quotient: 77%


You're beyond proud - you think you're honorary royalty.
And while you may be nice on occasion, it's usually just to get what you want.
 
Question 6: Sloth - while I have a good sized lazybone, i'm not THAT bad!

The greatest moment in the history of sport

The many loyal readers of Courage are a competitive bunch. They send me emails and comments begging me to attend their feats of athletic prowess and domination. Through them I have learned what desire, ambition, and dedication can do for a hungry soul.

I am proud to say that over the years I have internalized this amazing drive to excel, becoming a member of the greatest sports team ever assembled, The Men's 2006 Trivial Pursuit Team.

There are few who can claim performing on this high level, and even fewer who have tasted success against the best in the world. I am one of those few. Our team has faced and beaten its demons and we have stared the King of Board Games, Trivial Pursuit, in the eye, never blinking. We have claimed our third straight championship against the 2006 Women's Trivial Pursuit Team.

In the world of competitive board gaming there are few who equal us, and none who exceed our combined talents and skills. Our victory in 2006 garnered such fame and fortune that we became the focus of fans, sponsors, and Hollywood.

I am proud to present to you today, the world premiere of the greatest seven minutes in cinema, Miracle II: The Story of the Men's 2006 Trivial Pursuit Team.

Watch. Listen. Learn. Share.

The greatest event ever in the history of sport is now immortalized in the greatest cinematic event of the century.

Crazy nuts

Things have been bonkers in the CJU&S household (that's the charley/jillian/ulysses&shiloh household)! With a flurry of bills paid, research and writing going for my paper (that has to be to the publisher on the 20th), I'm not sure where my sanity got off to...I think it's taken a bit of a vacation.

Cocky sanity - it's not like it asked me if it could take a vacation. Who does he think he is? Does he think I need him or something? Well, I got news for YOU, Mr. Sanity - I don't need you at all!

While I head off to find and flail my sanity back into my skull, enjoy these few photos; they are from the same weekend I went fishing (for the most part), and there are a few of my place of employment on a crisp fall day.
