The Good Life?

Maybe Nick Cannon is who we should be modeling ourselves after...

All this Liam/Miley talk really got me thinking. I have mentioned earlier that I would love to make it BIG, where I have too much money and can just relax all the time, however this may not be 100 percent possible. Still, I am in the quest for the "Good Life", the life that philosopher Kanye West describes as: "if they hate then let 'em hate/ And watch the money pile up, the good life." The lingering question is how to achieve this life? Lucky for you, I have a solution. 

To fully understand this solution we need to look at another concept known as the Trophy Wife. The typical definition of a trophy wife is along the lines of a young, attractive woman who is married to an older man...sometimes it is inferred that these women marry these men for their money, etc. Trophy wives have been around since, practically, the dawn of time; from Donald Trump to Michael Douglas to Ice-T these are all men who have these beautiful women draped around their arms. Though many find it creepy, it is, for the most part, socially acceptable. Now I will present the almighty solution: The TROPHY HUSBAND. 

"The trophy husband?" you ask. The trophy husband functions, for the most part, the same as a trophy wife. A man marries a successful woman, becomes a little arm candy, and gets all of the perks (This Chappelle skit comes to mind). In my opinion, with these concepts the "trophy" does not have to be married to a spouse that is significantly older, just the spouse has to be ubersuccessful. Many will point to Ashton Kutcher as the prime example of the trophy husband, though I disagree. The main reason I disagree is that Kutcher is quite successful in his own right, even before he got together with Demi Moore. To me a trophy husband is more of someone who could not maintain the same high standard of living without their spouse and I have a perfect example. 

The infamous Nick Cannon is the Holy Grail of trophy husbands. He is married to Mariah Carey (one of the greatest voices of all time) and there is not much to say besides that. Sure he was on All That!, he starred in a few movies- most notably Drumline, and is currently the host of America's Got Talent, he certainly doesn't have the same clout that Kutcher possesses. When Cannon got together it was a head-scratcher, many men wanted to know where they went wrong in life. I get the impression that Cannon is like a little kid and Mariah is just this unbelievable woman/diva, it just doesn't make sense (granted, love usually doesn't make sense). Cannon, if he wasn't married to Mariah could not maintain his lavish lifestyle; sure he could still live lavishly, but not the same way as with his Sugar Mama. Now his hosting stint is really a hobby. Nick Cannon is the like the Beverly Hillbillies, he struck oil and just made it rich. Quickly, other examples would be K-Fed, Cash Warren, and in a close second Scott Disick (baby daddy to one of the Kardashians; and probably my favorite).

Becoming a trophy husband seems to be an easy way to live the good wife. All you have to do is sit there looking good and you pretty much have free roam throughout the day. I could golf all the time, buy frivolous stuff, and just relax. What more can a man ask for? 

Of course I'm gonna try to make it big on my own first, but this is a good plan B. 

So "if you feeling' me now then put your hands up in the sky/And let me hear you say hey, hey, hey, ooh/I'm good."
