My brother is graduating Officer Candidate School in the Marines this week.
Sometimes, I'm embarrassed that he's so cool.
[he's the tall, good looking one...
kinda like me, except for the tall part]
Andrew is one of my favorite people. I've always wanted to be just like him, ever since I was young.
Andrew played soccer, then I played soccer.
He broke his nose playing soccer, then I fractured mine playing soccer.
Andrew listened to rock music like Hoobastank and Red Hot Chili Peppers. So I did.
He played bass in a band, then I played guitar in a band.
Andrew was cocky, so I got cocky.
[these are most likely not all purposeful]
One time, I wanted a copy of his Hoobastank cd. So in exchange for
letting me burn it (he didn't have to do a thing btw), he made me do the
dishes on his night... and then I had to go get the cd and make a copy.
One time on the first day of school, he sent me this voice message:
...So you see why I always wanted to be like him.
Now that he's joined the Marines, I think my copycat days are over.
[but for reals i didn't copy everything he did, just some stuff]
