Dallas, the Stars aren't shining very bright


The minute Hockey Season starts is the minute my life gets a whole lot better. 
I am a DALLAS STARS FAN!
Unfortunately the Stars have had a rough start, with three loses, two wins and a loss in overtime the stars are low in the standings.  I am hoping it is because of the new season and the team is just trying to get used to the new players. I mean how can the team not be one of the best this year with the number one player from Sweden, Fabian Brunnstrom. This young player made a hat trick in his first game in the NHL. One of only four or five players ever to have done this. 

Other new players such as James Neal and Bad Boy Sean Avery are also going to make the Stars an amazing team this year.  Marty Turco is not playing up to par this season so far. It must be because of the new team members, because he is one of the best goalies in the league.

Hockey is the sport for true athletes. Skating on ice. with with a stick trying to get a puck in a goal. Constant movement whether backward or forward up and down the ice while be checked into the boards be other players. It's rough and players must be in tip top shape.
The Stars are going to win the Stanley Cup this year, I can feel it. 

I'll be at the game this Saturday to watch them battle the Capitals and move toward the number one spot.

Art






 


Art is almost everything you can think of.  Everywhere you look there is art.  The buildings at our school were created by someone and they resemble some sort of style.  Art has took many different turns and twists, but were they for the better?

I am going to say it as bluntly as I can. Modern painting is a disgrace to all art and artists of the past. Is a canvas painted all red or orange worthy of any praise?  Paint splattered on a canvas takes no skill. I could give three buckets of paint and a canvas to a five year old and he could create modern art.  It's crap.  I mean, come on, who wants to pay five million dollars or more for something anyone could create themselves.  
Can the average person recreate the statue of David by Michelangelo? NO, that's what makes it amazing. Real art takes time and skill, use of precision, and technique. Art created during the over hundreds of years ago by beings with tools less technologic than we have today are so much greater and are more beautiful than anything I have seen today.
