In the interest of total blog coverage

Not that probably a lot of people read this, but I thought I would put out there that I am considering following up on an insurance company that saw my resumé online. What do people think? I am pretty sure anyone can comment on this particular blog. I am pretty sure I enabled that. If not, or to get me more directly, hit me up at bknzone@gmail.com

Going on social security

I think I may have come to a decision based on my financial situation, that of owing a whole lot of money to the Department of Education to pay off my student loans. I have not, in over a year since my graduation, paid any of it off, and mainly that is because I haven't even been able to pay my own bills, let alone something in addition to that. Well, it's starting to catch up to me. I guess if I had asked for an economic hardship deferment or something, I might be okay, but I didn't, so here I am. I think what I might do is apply to the Social Security Administration. I spoke to a guy at the job fair a couple of weeks ago, and although I don't think I'd really want the job, it would pay really well, and I could get all my loans paid off in just over a year, and then save a good amount of money to be able to go to grad school and pay for it without loans. I just don't know. I think it would be good to help people, and I might just end up liking the job, and I think it would allow me to have weekends and nights free, which would suit me. And I would get to dress up, which would quite literally suit me. The only down side is that I would have to get up early in the morning every day. That, my friend, would really suck. But I guess you have to make sacrifices if you go on social security.

The Joy of Cooking Steve Allen

So I've given in to peer pressure (cause mostly by my girlfriend and the girlfriend of one of my roommates) and gotten a third blog at livejournal. Now I fear that this one will see even less action, probably because I don't get regular feedback on whether or not anyone reads it. Which is a shame, because it's the oldest. But I have decided that perhaps this should be the profound blog, since hardly anyone reads this thing, and hardly anyone is bound to want to read me being profound.
So I'm going to wax police-ophical right now. Yesterday when I was driving home I saw a state cop pull away in the opposite direction to pull someone over. I myself was a bit concerned because for a moment I thought he was pulling out to get me, or some of the people around me who were also going close to 80. But we were safe. But it did occur to me that it really is only the fear of getting a ticket that keeps me from really speeding. If not for cops or some other deterent, what would keep us from driving upwards of 100 miles per hour? Would accidents increase or something to keep people driving at more "safe" speeds? Would insurance rates go really high because of the danger associated with driving at top speeds?
All I know is, it's time for sleep, so I have no time to think about things like this. Unless I dream about them, in which case I'm more messed up than I thought I was.

I want my own computer back

I'm quickly on the road to recovery in many areas. I have some luck in the work department, even if the only job I have right now is the temp one I have with the flower shop. There may be some hope when it comes to women lately, but I don't want to jinx anything or really be reading too much into what's going on. And for now I am borrowing a computer from home in hopes that I can at least have something to work off of for the time being until my own desktop gets up and running.
There's just one problem: no matter what computer I seem to be on lately, I cannot seem to get the alignment option anymore. Or is this a change that has happened to the entire Blogger site? Is it no longer possible for me to justify my entries? I want my posts to look neat, thank you very much. The way it looks lately has had me rather cross. No wonder I post more on Xanga. Granted, I can't justify there, but at least it's more fun and I know people read it.
Anyway, that's all for me. I have to jet to a late meeting that will probably raise my temper and keep me there much later than I have any desire to be. All my best, everyone.

Fantasy news

Well, first off, this is the first update I've done since I got my other blog, the whiney blog. I've posted like 5 or 6 times over there in about 2 days. It's sad, but true. It's at www.xanga.com/bknzone in case you're interested.
Okay, now it's time for real news. I found out today that Order of the Phoenix is starting to film next week. How sweet is that! I knew it was set to come out next year, but it's nice to hear things are starting up. This gives me hope for the rest of the books to become films with the same kids at least.
Secondly, I have been reading the Narnia books like mad lately. I started book 4 today and already am 1/3 of the way through it. I'll get farther since I'll read a bit before I go to bed, but it's still been fun.
And finally today, I had a nice little brainstorming session about my books today, and concluded what the last book, the 10th book, is going to be about, and how it's going to work, although I'm still torn about whether or not Present Bob will interact with Past Bob, and how much if he does. Of course, I should probably get working on the first book if I'm going to get to a tenth.
I'll try to keep the posts up but without a computer of my own lately, I'm having a hard time. Much love, y'all.
