Single Livin'/Mad Men review

This week was going well until something strange happened. I have been volunteering and looking for jobs for many months now. I'm in school, and when the semester ends I need to be working. Some guy was flirting with me and gave me his number. I called him, and of course it went straight to voicemail, so to hell with it. Deleting it and moving on, it does hurt being rejected. Why give me a number and not answer!?! Being single and in your late 20's is really difficult, so the only way to solve this feeling of lonliness is to stay busy as much as possible. The next time a guy catches himself trying to flirt I'm rejecting him. Not everyone is made to be in relationships so I'm not looking for them anymore. I'm trying to work on my self-confidence more, and not get caught up in mess knowing I'm not ready to get into a relationship yet. I have to be more cautious, and listen to intuition more. It's time I stop looking for relationships, and love in all the wrong places. I need to try and love myself first, and not get discouraged when I see couples around. It is hard especially now that it is spring time, and couples will be everywhere. It hurts but I have to keep trying so I can get to a point where I can fully love myself, without having to define my happiness just because I'm with someone. Men are so fickle and damn complicated.Not all men are it just seems like I keep getting hurt, and its not fair. Mad Men premiered on Sunday and it was well worth the wait. The scene begins with Sally Draper, and she walks in the beautiful kitchen in her step mother's and father's new place. They are now in the year 1968, the one of the many things I love about this series, is that it always moves forward, and moves with the time period. It's never like a soap opera. Megan and Don appear to be officially married, and their marriage is hot and cold. Don is seems to be controlling, and Megan is young and just wants to have fun. Back at the office, Joan brings her baby by, some welcome her and others seem to be unhappy about her return. At first, I thought Joan's character is bitchy but she knows how to handle her own. I've grown to like her character, and Peggy as come a long way. Peggy started off as a secretary,and is now a copywriter. She has a new man last season she was engaged but it didn't work out, but I like the new guy she's with this season. He seems more confident, and independent. I would like to see her character get married to him. Out of all the affairs Don Draper has had I'm surprised he's never slept with Joan! I guess that would be too obvious I'm excited to see how this season plays out. I liked the last scene from Sunday's episode where the Lane Price character takes the resumes of young black women wanting to work in the office. The company had an add in the newspaper. You can catch seasons 1-4 on netflix instant, I must admit I didn't like it at first but I got into it during season 2. The acting is just superb.

MOVING WITH THE TIMES

Things have been going really well lately. I volunteer at the library this Wednesday, and I'm really excited about that. I did some writing earlier today, and I'm counting down the days of when I go back to college. I'm just super excited about that! I'm single yet again it was hard to get over, but I'm slowly coming back into my own again. I do miss him a lot but maybe we just have to work on ourselves for a while first. I don't regret any of it,and it was a lovely summer romance I just wish it couldv'e went further. I know I have to work on my self-confidence, and willingness to trust. Currently listening to Nirvana I do get a little sad when listening them because Kurt Cobain took his own life. I still wonder whatthe rock world would be like if he was alive. He was such a huge influence in the 90s he was truly talented. I remember wearing the plaid shirts in elementry school all the time. I'm excited for the new year, and I feel like its going to get off to a great start.
