The man I bought my cell phone from is a really in-teresting fellow. While there isn’t anything too particular about his appearance – thick black hair, broad jaw, brown eyes - its his subtle actions that stand out. Unlike the other fancy cell phone stores where the clerks dress smartly and use smart phones to show information, my cell phone guy wears simple tan jackets, and uses the same pa-pers over and over to explain to his customers. Traces of blue, black, and red ink can be seen over the same words and numbers, which were printed on the backs of recycled paper. His office shows that he is a man of routine; the place where he hangs his keys, takes photo copies out of the printer, and so on have smudges from being used over and over again.

Breaking up with a boyfriend or girlfriend can be easier said than done, but here are five steps that may help the breaking up process. First try to distance yourself by suddenly becoming busier than usual. The next step is to calmly tell the other person that how you are feel-ing. Then gently let him or her know that you do not want to be together anymore. Then make sure to be sensitive of his or her feelings and answer any questions that he or she may have. For example, if the person starts to cry, use kind words to help comfort him or her. After everything is said and done, take some alone time for your self be-cause everyone has feelings to sort out after a break up. Finally, go out with friends and meet new people. With these five steps it will make the breaking up process smooth for both parties.

Nothing is more American than bonding with friends and family at a tailgate party. The perfect combination of sports, food and fun, these parties have been going on in stadium parking lots for decades.

Food is by far the most important part of tailgating party. You will want to first select items that can easily be grilled, such as burgers and pork chops. The BBQ sauce is very important. After that, focus your attention on the side dishes, snacks and drinks that will be served. Check with the stadium to see if there are any restrictions. Next, focus on creating an exciting and comfortable atmosphere. Wear the team colors, bring team flags, posters, decorate your car… the more elaborate the better! Lastly don’t forget to bring aportable tv or radio so you can follow the game!
