9:32PM - money sucks

yeah i just dropped about 400. got a new cell phone. first cell phone ever and its pretty sweet. should come in handy. i also got those shoes. and a couple of t's from AE. but ill be getting 200 back in rebates eventually. heh. what else. oh yeah big story. im trying to go full active. heres my letter i wrote today to ask to be able to go full active.

To Whom It May Concern:

I, Private Burchett, Christopher P., am writing this letter to request releasment from my unit in the Arizona National Guard so that i may resume my duty in the U.S. Army as a full active soldier. When I signed up for the National Guard 15 months ago, I had different intentions in my life and service to the Army. Now that I have been through more experiences in my life, I've come to found that I want more of a purpose in my life. I feel I would be more productive to my country as an "everyday" soldier, rather than serving my country and my Army a few weeks out of the year. I went through my training and always gave it my all. I always met the standards, and exceeded them, so far in my short military career. In basic training, I qualified expert on all my qualifications and, as a team, achieved Honor Platoon and Honor Company status. I was top of my class in AIT with a 300 APFT score and earning a selection to Commandant's List. I wish to continue this trend in a full-active enviroment in the Army. This will also allow me to make larger steps in my life. It gives me a career that I would be proud of, rather than working, in my civilian life, in jobs that I find un-fullfilling. I'm asking for this oportunity, knowing full well that the National Guard has taken me in and provided for my soldierization. That I cannot deny nor do I want to. I owe the National Guard, you don't owe me. I will always uphold that Army values to my fullest ability, knowing that I represent my beginings, the Arizona National Guard. I would rather represent the Guard in full active assignment with the U.S. Army. Again, I thank the Arizona National Guard for providing and leading me in my military career so far and for what is yet to come.

PVT, Arizona National Guard

4:37PM - just odd and in's

well hello! few things to put in here. first off it wants to rain here so much right now...it really should just go off with a crazy thunderstorm. next. trying to decide should i stay with rents in RV come mid month or get own place. save money or pay money...hmm. tough one. second. i still dont get girls...and when i think i do is when they prove me wrong. heh. Erin called this Morning. i talked to her for over an hour. things are going alright for her in California. i havent heard from her in over 3 weeks so that was a good thing. we still are on for SWC and i really should go up and see her a few times this summer. i really wish i could help out some of my friends more. like Brittany. Her dad is going through some serious heart trouble and could use prayer if you are a faithful person. so she is home alone from last i heard and going to take a trip to phoenix this weekend to be in the hospital with her dad. she is a tough one and stuff but still i wish i could be there more for her. In other news i Downloaded Dhanai's (Undo) 2 newish songs. Ryan left me in awe again with his amazing guitar playing. its not just the talent he has but the stuff he comes up with is awesome. really check it out. all 4 of the guys have become better it seem to just keep getting better. SHane has become quite the vocalist and Eric holds that Bass line tight a Dhanai just fills like no other. so check their new stuff out at purevolume...ill get the actual link later. they are also making a complete new CD right now. hope its the one that gets them out of here and on to MTV2 maybe. we will see. as for me. i just been learning that music theory stuff and it really is starting to stick now. maybe now i can start writing some Harmonys and Solos like Ryan...yeah maybe when im 50. heh.

soon to be new shoes

1:15PM - These Pictuers Should Work

( Some Pics from Missouri )



Well i applied to NAU (Norther Arizona University) today. im hoping ill get accepted and be able to start up in June for summer courses. that would work out nice. we will see i guess. so that means im in vegas for atleast 2 months. should get some sort of a job and get a car within that time. be nice. i either can stay with my parents for free in their RV until they decide to move states or i can pay some rent with Danny and switch with Jenny when she moves up here in June because i should hopefully be moving to NAU at that time. other than that i heard from Tyffan-e today online. I was busy filling out my app though to really keep up a convo. so tomorrow i might get on some sort of a job search. or play lazy. who knows. oh and trying to teach yourself Music Theory sucks....

9:28AM - We Will Sit Around The Dinner Table...I Will Be The Pig

so this afternoon my mom wants my "friends" to come over for a turkey dinner thing. i know in all honesty ill be lucky if my best friend shows up. so hopefully my mom wont be to hurt over that. i just know how people work that i know and they say one thing but you know when they really arent going to do that. so today im wearing my saves the day shirt for the first time since decmeber. it still fits perfect too. im wearing it with my new black dickies and my white chucks. since my shirt is white and black sleaves. Danny has long hair now like i use to have. i told that kid for like 2 years to grow out his hair and he doesnt do it until im not allowed to have long hair. well that all might be changing this week anyways. long story that ill have to put in another entry. anywho if you are in the vegas area and know where i live show up at my house around 3ish for some food and to catch up on old times. really come. free food is worth it right. and so my mom wont be upset. you know who you are...all are invited.

2:20PM - sorry i missed your call...for the both of us

well im back in vegas finally. got here about 9 oclock last night. saw danny and parents and angie and nat. went and played some volleybal which i suck even more at now. went home around 2 AM and woke up aroud 7. i emailed Erin yesterday which i havent heard anything from here for about 3 weeks since she left Missouri for Cali. so i have no idea whats up with her but she called the house before i got home. she told me dad she will call back which is awesome but man it sucks missing that call. sure hope she gets to call back soon. other than that just trying to get some paper work done and make some moves in my life. probably going to be frustrating but at the same time it can be awesome. so lets hope for more of the awesome than frustration. call me up (702) 458-3004

2:56PM - Back home were i belong

yes yes yes!!! it is truly orgasmic. im in St louis air port right now waiting a couple of hours till i fly to phoenix in which i wait another hour and fly back home to vegas. well home for a while. i am fighting between staying in vegas or moving to flagstaff arizona. so who knows all i know is no more Fort Leonard Wood and Drill Sargeants. and training was very successful for me though. it was best for me most likely. i get in to Vegas at 8:45 on flight 86 America West airlines incase any of you night life peeps from vegas feel like seeing me. if you even remember who i am. but in anycase im happy to be heading home and stress free for a day or 2. call up my unit monday and they probably will be like "we are going to iraq in a month". i mean atleast take me to korea not no stinkin desert where we fight for some stinkin oil. i ended up getting the army achievment medal and commidonst list for top 4 soldiers in the class. just more to add on to about stuff i dont care too much about. maybe that is why i screwed off high school. just dont like being praised or honored at all. i just do what i do and dont feel i need to be recognized for it. im going to grab some food and some starbucks soon i guess. toodles and hope to see most of you guys soon.


last but not least...anyone going to toe desert breeze extreme thing concert tomorrow? i was thinking about checking it out.

2:08PM - 5 more days and ill be through

this is me...believe it or not...ill be home next weekend! so yeah this weekend was our first over night pass in regular clothes....so yeah i was weighed after my PT test...which i finally maxed out a 300 on...another medal to add on. any who i weighed in at 145...minding in november i weighed 125. so i got my jeans this weekend and my ass could not fit in them. i think i have some black in me. because i have junk in the trunk. so first thing i did was go to wallmart...and i went straight to the dickies...and i love walmart because they had dickies on sail for 5 dollars...i bought 5 pairs since i need all new pants since i have a fat ass now. so that made me happy becuase you have no idea how frustrating yesterday was. we were suppose to be on pass at 11 but didnt get out until 5 at night. so anywho me and nelson grabbed a hotel room made some calls and went to another hotel were we created a nice formation of bottles on the entertainment center by the end of the night. i ran in to summer and she got me some So Co to add on around 12:30 and i got her to go down stairs to hang out with me but other guys jumped up into my flavor immediately so i just got a Dr Pepper and dont remember a thing after the south toke me out. somehow i got back to my own hotel room and to sleep so yeah. and my camera only had 3 pictures left so i have no idea what these pictures are on it. so i have a couple more driving tests till thursday and leaving the fort on friday and hopefully be home sometime saturday or sunday. be back with Danielle and Lucy. i put on my chuck's and missed home so much right away. amazing what just a pair of shoes can bring out of someone. i wish aim would work for me. but too sad instead. have more songs back at the barracks but they are old and i dont know much about "love" anymore. that is for another post though.

2:16PM - 9 week girl

I just hold your words
I dont say a thing
youre the best friend i have
that i cant hold
so i wont let you know
since you are with him
and when he writes you
i hope its better than my silence


And i see you in light
in the middle of the night
youre a pure and beautiful sight
that lifts me high as a kite

but i dont say "i love you"

and i long for a kiss goodnight
that crashes this flight
it burns from the inside
so i throw this fight

Just so you dont love me too


i sit alone
in my locker i confide
ill write these songs
you will write me off
pictures of us
dressed in our smiles
speaks a thousand words
of what would be without him


i remember your smell
i remember your face
i remember your touch
when i hug around your waist
and when i let go
my heart says no
but youre the best friend i have
that i want to hold alone

3:50PM - A Beautiful Ending

Theres Beauty in Death
a memory to be kept
seeing light so bright
pure even in the night
and the pain numbed
by angels that will come
fell the warmth of sunny weather
as you float on the feathers
stripped of a dove
so full of His love
whose shouts of His blood
sounds triumph from above
found in the ultimate victory
when you last breathe

many many many days left until next new year...they even add on an extra day this year. which is a good thing becuase im starting to despise the day of the 31st of december. its such a sahallow time in most people lives. yes i said it. and why am i so stuck on this having true meaning in your life and your decisions.why cant i be like others and not care. i dont know. but hey. i love who i am because im like no other. but again im like no other so who am i going to connect with. dont know that one either. so why do i ask questions that no one knows. still dont know that one. heh. comes down to it i dont know very much at all do i. so yes im noticing that i am growing up. im becoming a better guy in most ways. and my future is quite promising. and i know ill run into her soon enough. and the most important part. for the first time that i can remember. i really am having a HAPPY new year. and i havent been depressed in a while. so maybe 2003 i became free from that.

10:28AM - "seventy times seven" below zero in this room

if you acted as if you didnt see me...then this is for you

you are so fucking shallow!
ive never matched anyone to such cruel songs
but you fit them like a key in a lock
go ahead open up all your best laid plans
hoover damn is deeper than you
even after the river runs dry before the ocean
you make life an oscar
and your acceptance speak sickens me
just place your two fingers in my mouth
and push them far back
because my up-chuck relfex
is what you are best at controlling
thank the lord that im not you
but damn me for letting you in
i should have rejected your key
i should have left your bottle almost empty
instead i let you broke it upon my head
and scare me with it sharp remains
so next time...ill use the deadbolt

2:31PM - Pressured Like A Diamond

"im all hot and bothered" she said
she moved to close and scorched my side
a girl like her should be rain upon
instead gets ambers of men who she coals

her burn victims walk today
each marked by a scar of blaze
she relents to only the smoke
that follows her trail

and the scent of the flesh
that rises to my nose
was not enough to turn me away
for her innocent warmth i had not thought
would turn into a volcano of flames
so i rushed to fast to get our rocks off
caused the spark that would burned this city
proven guilty by the evidence of scars
and leave me in the third degree
wrinkled down to my bone for the one
who would turn my heart to ashes
and leave me in the dust
as she return to the sun
