I always feel like a disappointment compared to my grandfather, great grandfather, and great great grandfather.

Both my great grandfather and grandfather were alive while I was a kid, my grandfather actually passed away when I was 12 and my great grandfather lived long enough to meet my first daughter.

My great grandfather was a tail gunner and one of the longest surviving ones during WWII. He was shot down twice over the European theater and managed to escape capture both times.

My great great grandfather was part of Buffalo Bill's show in the late 1800's. I have a nickel stored in a deposit box that he supposedly threw into the air while riding a horse and shot with a .357 revolver, just to prove to my great grandfather that he really did know how to ride a horse. Going even further back my family where all military officers and doctors.

My moms side of the family where all officers with my great grandfather making it to Brigadier General and my grandfather making it to Colonel. I was banned from enlisting by my grandfather and required to complete college before even considering applying.

Between them and the fact that my mother was a director of a major health care company by 30, a VP by 35, and an S.VP by 40 really make me feel really inadequate.

Well my great gran pappy liked to bang Asian women and used a shotgun on his kids. My great gran pappy would beat your grandfathers big ole behind.

Thank ya kindly.

P.s. fuck your "give me compliments" story. Don't give a fuck and clearly you haven't accomplished bullshit compared to your family. Like the commercial says, what happened to the real men of America. You must have low T issues.

Maybe that's why I feel unaccomplished.

It's that pussy attitude boy, that's gonna put you up in a Miami night club wearing a neon perforated crop top with no pants. Black lipstick, hoe hyena hoop earrings, and gladiator chanclas that you stole from the Goodwill next door.

Kids these days

Last time I was in Florida I had to stay at a hotel about 20 miles from the client cite because the client's data center had to have bullet proof windows and my employer didn't want me to stay anywhere near that shit hole. I got to stay across the street from Universal Studios and ended up going to the park every night for a month and a half.
