Super Bowl XLV :)

 This was was a VERY CLOSE game. The Pittsburgh Steelers vs. The Green Bay Packers. I watched the entire game including the half time show. I must say that I am a Packers fan and was really hoping the they would win because the Steelers have won to many times in the past few years. It was time for a new champion.

The end games score was 31-28. SO VERY CLOSE. 

If the Steelers had kept possession of the ball, I have not doubt that they might have scored, but since Green Bay reclaimed possession in the last 45 seconds the referees decided that the Steelers weren't going to get possession again in time to make another touchdown.

The half time show. It was awesome and sucked all at the same time. The lighting and dance coordination and Ushers song were the best parts. The Black Eyed Peas sucked. The only note that Fergie actually hit correctly was the last one. They should have turned her microphone off after the first minute when she couldn't get it together. Now don't get me wrong, I love the Black Eyed Peas....auto-tuned.  :)  Sorry guys.

Another HUGE mistake was the national anthem. Christina Aguilera messed it up. I know she knows how to sing, but even if you've sung the song before, YOU STILL NEED TO PRACTICE! How on earth could you not. As a musician I know that and so should she. Even if you've practiced a piece a hundred times and know everything there is to know about, if you haven't performed it in a while and are about to perform, PRACTICE before you go on stage and make a fool of yourself.

On the other hand Lea Michele from the GLEE cast did a wonderful job on the Star Spangled Banner. In my opinion, she should have sung the national anthem. Sorry CHristina and Fergie, but GO PRACTICE or lip sync next time.

Congratulations Green Bay Packers for winning Super Bowl XLV.

Think Before You Throw

This is an example of something called Book Art.

Some people like to throw books away if they're out-dated and will be of no use to read. Well, I've recently learned of some cools ways to recycle books in art. One way to do this is to paint it, glue it together and make it into more or less an art journal. It's really very awesome. You can add pictures, ribbon, buttons and really anything that depicts who you are.

Another way to recycle these out-dated books is to make tables out of them. You glue a bunch of them together to make side tables, coffee tables and probably even desks. It's a way of showing of art while recycling these perfectly good books.

                      

                             Any other cool ideas for recycling books for art?
