Part One
It’s twelve fifteen, the wedding started at twelve. I can’t believe I’m late to my own brother’s wedding. Is it at the church over on Magnolia or is it that big old church by the stadium? Let’s pick the one by the stadium, it’s closer.
Here we are. Do I have everything? This bow tie looks ridiculous.
Holy Jesus these doors are heavy, you’d think with all these old people they’d have some lighter doors.
“Oh hello there grandma, how are you? I know I’m late. I know it looks ridiculous. I know I know I’m going.”
Wow, there are a lot of people there, including the bride’s sisters, hello there. And there’s a little wink. Oh she didn’t like that.
There’s ol’ Johnny, I can’t believe I’m late.
“Hey Johnny, sorry I’m late” he looks pissed.
“Hey shmuck, bout time. Got the ring?”
HOLY HELL! I forgot the ring at home, oh no, what am I gonna do?
“Oh I just forgot it in the car. Excuse me for a sec while I retrieve the precious” I just lied so hard.
Why does this church have to be so awkwardly long? Holy cow, grandma looks pissed. Let me quicken my pace a bit.
Again with these doors, I feel like my arm is gonna get ripped off. Look at my beautiful black Stang glowing with glory. Alright baby, let’s start up.
PUTTPUTT POW!
You’ve gotta be kidding me!? I guess I’ll have to run back to the house. Oh ouch, bad idea running in dress shoes. Wow, starting to sweat. Breathe. Keep on going, we’re almost there.
Here we are, wow those shudders need fixing. THERE’S THE RING! It’s twelve thirty; Johnny’s probably giving birth to a small cow right now. Sprint legs sprint! Breathe! THE CHURCH!
The holy heavy doors yet again.
“Grandma, Hello! Yes I know” such a sweetie.
There he is, he’s so damn happy right now. Oh man I might start crying. Stay strong.
“Got it?”
“Yea…here” don’t breakdown.
“I love you brother”
“OH GOD I LOVE YOU TOO BROTHER!” Oh that was a bit much.
“Sorry, go on” And it’s on! I wonder if the bride’s sister is gonna be at the reception.

Part Two
Twelve minutes until the wedding starts, I can’t believe the day is finally here. Nothing could possibly make this day go wrong, except Johnny’s bum of a brother who never showed up to the dress rehearsal…
Oh shoot, I have to make sure sis has the ring. Whoa, I nearly broke a heel. Wow these doors are heavy, I better warn daddy about those.
“You got the ring?” she looks so beautiful, “Great, TEN MINUTES!” Where is that best man!?
This is it! “Dad, remember the doors” oh lord he’s getting old.
There’s Johnny’s sour grandma. “Hey there grandma!” I hope no one told her about those doors. And there is my knight in shining armor. And look there, no best man.
Oh I hear a car. And there is the best man who had no warning about those doors, sissy. What on earth is he wearing? That’s the most disgusting bow tie I’ve ever seen. Excuse me, he did not just look at my sister like that!
What!? He forgot the ring in the car!? What a moron.
“PUTTPUTT POW!”
What on earth was that!? It sounded like a gun shot or… it’s probably the genius of a best man.
It’s been fifteen minutes and that cheese ball still isn’t back! Oh I can hear him coming, what a little sissy with those doors. My word, he looks like he just got in a bar fight. He must’ve run to go get the ring… I guess he’s not so bad.
“I LOVE YOU TOO BROTHER!” Really? Did he really have to do that? He’s caused enough of a scene already. And hear it is and the ring is on! YES! Is Johnny’s brother crying? Oh I bet it’s all an act to get my sister…
“Hey you! Come here. I know what you’re tryin to do with my sister.” Little punk, “Excuse me! You aren’t to use that in any such way!”
How come Johnny never does that?

WA#5 Wedding2

Only twelve minutes until the wedding starts, I can’t believe this is real. The day I’ve been dreaming about since I was a little girl is finally here and I actually am getting married to my own knight in shining armor. Nothing could possibly make this day go wrong, well there’s always Johnny’s bum of a brother who never showed up to the dress rehearsal and no one has heard from him in the past two days…
Oh shoot, I have to go make sure sister has the ring ready. Oh my why did they have to put the dressing room all the way down these stairs. Whoa, I nearly broke a heel. Twenty three steps, twenty four, twenty five, twenty six…Good grief I’m finally done with those stairs, holy smokes these doors are heavy, I better warn daddy about those before he walks me down the hall.
“Hey sis! You got the ring?” she looks so beautiful, “Alright great, TEN MINUTES!” Ah I’m so excited. Where on earth is that damn best man!?
Alright here it is, “Dad remember the doors” oh boy he’s getting old.
Oh there’s Johnny’s grandma, what a sour lady. “Hey there grandma!” I hope no one told her about those doors. And there he is, my knight in shining armor. And look at that, no best man. I can’t believe this is happening.
His eyes are so beautiful, deep blue lined with a grey, this is really happening! Oh I hear a car, I wonder if this is Johnny’s brother. Yup, there he is and yup no one told him about those doors, good riddance. What on earth is he wearing around his neck, oh my, that’s the most disgusting bow tie I have ever seen. Excuse me, he better have not of looked at my sister like that, way out of his league anyways.
Hmmm, I’d like to give him a little earful right now. What!? He forgot the ring in the car!? What an incompetent little piece…
“PUTTPUTT POW!”
What on earth was that!? It sounded like a gun shot or… I can only assume it’s the genius of a best man.
It’s been fifteen minutes and that cheese ball still isn’t back, in the car my… Oh I can hear him coming up the stairs, what a little sissy with those doors. My word, he looks like he just got in a bar fight. He must’ve run all the way to wherever the ring was and back… I guess he’s not so bad.
“I LOVE YOU TOO BROTHER!” Really? Did he really have to do that? He’s caused enough of a scene already. And hear it is and the ring is on! YES, I can’t believe it! Is Johnny’s brother crying? Oh my, I’m gonna start crying right with him right here, oh lord… oh dear. Oh I bet it’s all an act to get my sister, not this time buddy…
“Hey you! Yeah, come here. I know what you’re tryin to do with my sister.” Little punk, “Excuse me! You are not to use that in any such way!”
How come Johnny never does that?

WA#5 Wedding

It’s twelve thirty, the wedding started at twelve fifteen. I can’t believe I’m late to my own brother’s wedding. Is it at the church over on Park Street or is it that big old church over by the stadium? Let’s pick the big old one by the stadium, it’s closer.
Alright here we are I think this is it. Do I have everything? Oh man this bow tie looks ridiculous. Whatever, I have to get in there.

“Oh yeah, I just forgot it in the car. Excuse me for a sec while I retrieve the precious” I can’t believe I just lied so hard, I better hurry.
This is such a long church, why did it have to be here. It makes this a whole lot more awkward for me now. Holy cow, grandma looks pissed. Alright let me quicken my pace a bit.
Again with these doors, I feel like my arm is going to get ripped off. What a nice day it is and look at my beautiful black Stang sitting glowing with glory. Alright baby, let’s start her up.

“Sorry, go on” Oh here it is and the ring is on! I wonder if the bride’s sister is going to be at the reception.

WA4 2nd Draft

Dear Mr. Obama,

As you receive the title of President you also inherit a number of dilemmas that our former president either created or ignored entirely throughout his long, long, long term. Out of war and an economic there is still one problem that can be seen throughout. Global Climate change is truly happening and is beginning to affect the whole world. If there isn’t immediate change than the soldiers and people of Iraq will feel the effects, the stock brokers swarming the streets of Wall Street will be sweating a little more than usual. It will ultimately lead to the destruction of any and all civilized society. It is vital that someone in this world takes the role to make change and make a transformation to a cleaner healthier environment.
Some professionals have projected that the next world war will be over clean drinkable water. Thousands of species will become extinct which may include certain species of algae that are having an incredible role in the carbon cycle. If the sea surface temperature raises a small increment of two degrees many species of algae will become extinct nearly doubling the amount of carbon in the atmosphere due to the loss of these important characters involved in the carbon cycle. You’ve been preaching the idea of change and that is exactly what the world needs right now.
Many countries have already begun to act on this climate change issue from a hydrogen fuel based society to new bills created to reduce CO2 emissions. Our very own California has just passed the AB-32 bill that plans to reduce CO2 emissions by 80% come the year 2050. This bill resembles another that was just past in the United Kingdom. This is just the first step in the long process to create a healthier world environment. The next steps should involve hydrogen fuel cell cars that should be introduced to the American public as something of the present not something of the future; for far too long that problems have been set aside for the future and we can no longer ignore these potentially devastating problems.
To me the future of the U.S. is a country with hillsides full of wind turbines and fields littered with solar panels. These various alternative energy sources should be incorporated into the environment in a way that is safe for every nearby species. The first settlers passed on stories of how beautiful the Americas were when they arrived on their ships. They told of the crystal clear Chesapeake Bay with enormous clams lining the bottom and giant schools of fish swimming in what is now a habitat that is threatened by over fishing. They spoke of colossal forests that lined this bay and of the peaceful people that lived on the land that is now one of the most feared countries in the world. All of these accounts sound like fairy tales and most of these sights will never be seen by the people of this modern western world but it is our job to keep what we have now so we can show our children’s children how incredible the world can really be. It is time to take the first steps towards a healthier world by putting what you’ve been preaching into action, change.

Sincerely,
Daniel Intolubbe-Chmil

Dear Mr. Obama,

As you may know the world is currently going through an incredible series of environmental changes. As you take the title as presidency it is vital that you take the responsibility to create what you’ve been preaching all along, change. If certain actions of change are not taken, the world may reach a point where some of the damages will become irreversible. Some people argue whether these changes are truly taking place, but recently it has been scientifically proven that these climate changes are happening and are being forecasted to accumulate until species are extinct, glaciers are melted, the ozone destroyed, and in the very end an inhabitable unhealthy planet.
Some of the main changes that you have suggested yourself have been the usage of alternative energy sources. The usage of alternative energy sources would save the atmosphere of billions of tons of CO2 per year and would improve the condition of the world as a whole. There are endless ideas for alternative energy sources from tidal turbines to solar panels. In the Midwest, for example Kansas, there are miles and miles of windy plains that would be ideal for wind turbines. The barren desert in the southwest of the U.S. is a perfect place for solar panels. Creating these alternative energy plants would not only provide clean energy but also provide new jobs for many U.S. citizens.
The U.S. is an example for the rest of the world usually having a great impact with every decision we make. If certain actions are taken then it could spark a worldwide movement to a better cleaner planet. This planet has been good to us and there is no reason why we, the world as one population, shouldn’t be good to it. As the mining and drilling continue all the limited resources we become less and less yet the greenhouse gases and other pollution becomes more and more. We have to realize that we need to find other ways to produce energy or the world will run out of resources such as oil and coal.
To me this seems to be the greatest problem because it doesn’t only affect the United States, but the whole world. The solutions are endless and the global economy would flourish if a transition is achieved from fossil fuel dependency to alternative energy sources. The auto industry has already begun to create hybrid electric cars and cars running off of hydrogen producing nothing but clean water. If these new creations continue to advance soon there will be hydrogen stations in place of gas stations and a cleaner atmosphere instead of holes in the ozone.
Something that showed me the disgusting effect fossil fuels had on the planet was the great smog cloud over Denver, Colorado. I was on a family ski trip in Colorado and as we were driving along the Front Range my father pointed out the brown cloud hovering above the distant city of Denver. I couldn’t stop looking at the giant smog cloud and it made me want to do whatever I could to stop worldwide pollution. But something this great needs to be achieved small step by small step. As I right this letter to you the night before your inauguration I hope that this is one of the many small steps that will accumulate into a possible global movement.

Sincerely,
Daniel Intolubbe-Chmil

Writing Assignment Draft2

A peace of the beast
Uproar of the beast
Cry evil to the beast
Cry evil in the least

We cannot grasp it
We cannot achieve it
We only loose it
We only abuse it.

The peace is burden
The burden is heavy
The heavy is building
The building is falling

The beasts took it
The beasts destroyed it
The animals lost it
The animals forgot it

The hate we make
Burns the love we create
And the love we create
Came a little too late

It cries through the
Dark blinds the
Beasts falls to the
Shadows under it all

We only think it
We only say it
We never do it
We never believe it

Writing Assignment #4?

A Peace of the Beast
The peace of human kind
Nor good nor evil
Only a figment of your imagination
In your simple little mind.

We cannot grasp it
We cannot achieve it
We only loose it
We only abuse it.

The peace that once ruled
Over animals and beasts
Exterminated through greed and lust
The victims of the beast fooled.

The beasts took it
The beasts destroyed it
The animals lost it
The animals forgot it

The peace that has caused death
Fires and blazing bullets
Tormenting anyone in its path
Giving no ones time to catch breath

The peace wept it
The peace burned it
The peace murdered it
The peace did nothing

We made this peace
The peace didn’t make us
Therefore we must make peace
Because peace doesn’t make us
