I wasted a lot of my lives by getting the ball underneath my paddle and bouncing it downwards (though i am using a touchpad mouse), after this I got the ball stuck half off the left of the screen, possibly things to look in to?
Make your own graphics, even simplistic sprites, it's a nice start for a first game but you are letting Futurama down with this dude. Wait til you're a bit better before using someone else's trademark.
Keep trying though and you'll be making great games in no time :)
