Superpower!!!

I couldn't pick just one super power. But if I had to, I would pick to be super. By that I mean that I would like to be Superman. Superman has all the best super powers, hence the name Superman. First of all he can fly. Everyone wants to fly! It doesn't matter who you are; I know that if you could fly, you would. I wish I could wake up each morning, walk out my front door, raise my right arm and fly to school. Think how practical and convenient it is, not to mention I don't have to pay for gas. There's no traffic in the air so I wouldn't have to wait at a red light for what seems to be 4 hours. The best part is that it's remarkably fast but the down side is that my hair would get messy every time I fly.

Superman also has super strength. With this I could stop all the bullies in the world and if I wanted to I could lift cars. I could have a great career with super human strength, such as an Olympic weight lifter; there's no way I could lose. If there was a 10 car pile up at an intersection I could just fly down and lift each car off one another. Or if a plane was about to crash I could just catch it like an outfielder in baseball. Ladies canonize strong men so imagine all the good looking dates I could get.

Last superpowers that I would like are x-ray vision, and the ability to deflect bullets. Now I know what your thinking as soon as I say x-ray vision. Lets just say I would use it for the better of man kind and not for the inadequate. If I am in a warehouse chasing villains and there is a guy behind a wall with kryptonite trying to kill me. I can find him with ease by using my x-ray vision. The ability to deflect bullets would be outstanding. Guns are the easiest way to kill someone. If I could deflect the most powerful weapon one man could use, how could i be stopped. I would be the ultimate war machine, for the admirable of course. We wouldn't have to worry about terrorists because I would exterminate them all. Being Superman would be an easy way of life. I can see why he's called Superman. He's the best.

What If ?

What if we lived on the moon. We would live in a giant bubble the size of BC, with an infinite air supply. We would still go out for dinner and go for walks with our dogs but it would be much more difficult with less gravity. Eating soup would be very bothersome. Every day activities such as mowing the lawn would be problematic. After you mow, grass debris will fly all over the place and make your lawn look like a mess. Then again we wouldn't even have grass on the moon so that's a ridiculous idea. Looking on the positive side we wouldn't have any snow to trouble with. No snow would mean no snowboarding or skiing, obviously, but we could invent creator surfing; which is quite self explanatory.

The best part about living on the moon would definitely be playing sports. It would make them a lot more challenging. Basketball would be easier, even Ben Bogaardt could dunk the ball effortlessly. If we were to play baseball the ball wouldn't fly as fast and it would be too easy to catch. It might become obsolete but its not like anyone likes baseball anyway. If golf was on the moon the ball would probably take 5 minuets to land after a shot, making a 4 hour round even longer. Scratched golf clubs would be very irritable since we already know there's no grass on the moon. I'd say golf will become obsolete as well and maybe if we're lucky so will all of Tiger Woods' commercials. Come to think of it the only sports we could play would be basketball and rugby. I'm sure if we lived on the moon long enough we could invent new sports. I could ramble on about shot put, long jump, high jump, discus, and javelin but I'll just sum that up by saying they will be cinch, and really boring to watch. Living on the moon would be fun, but sports would change immensely. Maybe a just a vacation to the moon would be more manageable.

My Review

My review is going to be for the Vancouver Canucks 08-09 season and the 09 playoffs. The Vancouver Canucks so far have had a very successful season. At the beginning of the season they aquired players such as Pavol Demitra, Mats Sundin, Ryan Johnson, Shane O'Brien, and Darcy Hordechuck. Although they lost Markus Naslund and Brendan Morrison, their new players have been filling their shoes nicely. Pavol Demitra has made a large impact on the Canucks. He has scored 19 goals and added 31 helpers to his point list for a total of 50 points. Which is better than Morrisons 25 points last season and with a few more games left in this season he will catch Naslunds point total of 55. Mats Sundin joined the team in early January and is making his impact slowly but surely. He only has 25 points so far but is a big body on the ice. He's strong in the faceoff circle and always a force on the powerplay, his puck moving skills are phenominal. Sundin will definately prove himself in the playoffs. Taking things to the defensive end of the ice, Shane O'Brien has been very productive. He doesn't have any goals or many points but he is a strong defensman who always stands his ground. He isn't afraid to get in a fight either. He is in the top of the league in penalty minutes but that just shows that he likes to play physical. Ryan Johnson and Darcy Hordechuck have been satisfactory 4th liners. Ryan Johnson lead the league last year in blocked shots and he is doing the same this year. Darcy Hordechuck is a checker who is always willing to drop the gloves.
Although our new players are playing exceptionally well, the ones that have been around for a while are doing well too. The Sedin twins are leading the team wil 77 and 76 points and are always prodominate on the powerplay. Added recently to the Sedin line was Alex Burrows. Who, since joining their line, has been scoring more goals and getting more points than ever. He has 47 points and is on track for his first 30 goal season. Ryan Kesler has been dominate as well with 55 points. Kesler Sundin and Demitra have made a strong second line for Vancouver, which can score goals and have combined for a total of 130 points.
Almost Done. But I can't end this review without talking about Roberto Luongo. Luongo is hands down one of the best goalies is the league today. He is second in the league with 7 shutouts, 5th with a 2.34 goals against average, and has a .920 save percentage. The Vancouver Canucks have a verystrong team this year and have a very good chance at the stanley cup.
