I should not have looked - WTF.....
 

So I went and looked up my cousin on Google - He is a few years younger than me and because of family shit we fell out of touch when we where teenagers.

His dad (my dads brother) was a Doctor - Major into US politics as well from what I understand. He advised the Bush admin on research funding etc - He is not even American....

Mine was the drop out....

So my cousin now has a Ph.D.. He travelled through Africa teaching poor kids science in Rwanda and now has my dream job.

He has my life - I really should not have looked....

You are probably having more fun than he is, so don't worry so much.

So whats the dream job, gay pornstar?

Ecologist in a National Park - Its even more specialised than that, I don't specify because I don't want to identify the him on here.

Its about the place as well.

Talking of gay porn stars - He is fucking hot - He could have been one of those as well....

Spare razor blade anyone?

Oh, just be happy for him, maybe you two can reconnect.

The outcome of your life is your fault. having a rich daddy has little correlation to success. I know this firsthand having grown up in a richy rich town. Most of the rich kids are useless trash. same people that star on MTV.

Of course it's my fault - I could have done it - Having support helps though.

I am not just talking about financial support.

i hear ya. but I had rich & poor friends in high school & believe me, it has very little to do with parents. People choose their peers, choose how to spend their time. Parents can only guide & support but cannot save a failure from themselves.

My sister & I have completely different lives, she is a lot more successful then me. same parents, same school, same everything. She just worked hard at things & i got stoned. End of story.

They must have loved her.

which makes them successful, not useless. :1orglaugh

Judging by his post, he isn't.

LOL. I suppose if your a poor jersey skank, then yeah, the jersey shore fame & money is success.

But what about brodi jenner. the most useless human being bruce ever created.

:1orglaugh

Would he recognise you? Seduce him!

Life is not over. Do what you need to do to have the life you want.

True - I am ONLY 41 - I do have a degree so I could go back and do some post grad stuff.

I could do that and do the overland trip through Africa that I have been talking about forever.

It was the Africa thing that got me the most - Teaching kids in a war zone like Rwanda, how fucking annoying is that!!?

If he's doing what you wanted to do then he knows what steps you need to get there and can make the proper introductions to make it happen. Hell, maybe he could use some help.

You need to reconnect with him rather than be jealous.

BTW, you do not need a Ph.D. to teach kids in Africa. That's just what he has. Use him to get the connections to make it happen for you. It wouldn't be a bad thing because you are trying to do good. There is no reason you can't achieve that dream of yours.

sounds like a nice job

It is never too late to have a happy childhood :thumbsup

Tough to digest...

Most likely somebody else is having the life you want to have ...
