After first listen, I really kind of enjoy "Covered For You". That being said, my first impression is never inline with my final opinion.
I went to A&M over the weekend to see my baby brother for Parent's Weekend. That kid impresses the hell out of me, he really does. Surprisingly enough, after hanging out on campus for a bit, I actually kind of 'get' the whole Aggie thing. I will probably stick with my nickname of A&M (Cult College), but I suppose there is nothing wrong with having a sense of pride.
I hung out with him in his dorm for a couple of hours and he took me on a tour of the campus. He told me about the different statues, fountains, and traditions. It is interesting for me to see the amount of respect he has for that campus when it has seemed to me in the past that he doesn't respect much of anything. He actually told me not to step on a marker on the walkway. (Not that I would have, but I hadn't even noticed it.) His dorm is a total pit. I can't imagine living like that. Not because the kid is messy but because the building was built in 1932 and remains in its original condition. I told him it reminded me of my visit to Alcatraz. I don't understand the whole military thing he is into, but it was a reminder for me that it takes all kinds of people in this world. Military would never be for me, but he thrives there and is damn good at it. I can't believe I admire my little brother.
I also have to say that I've been fighting those damned depression demons again, lately, and my visit to his campus did not help. Actually made things worse. I am so jealous. And remorseful. Regretful. I pretty much hate myself for feeling those things, but sometimes we feel what we feel. I am still so proud and so happy for Alex. Let's not be confused about that. I am just jealous that he made better decisions than I did.
