SR-71, a Transformer!!!

I saw the Transformers- Revenge of the Fallen, the other day, and was soooo excited when I saw the SR-71 turn into a Transformer!! And then it obviously became a part of Optimus Prime..

I know this sounds a little geeky, but I have an old connection with the SR-71 BlackBird Spy Plane, hence the excitement..

I had designed the cover for the SR-71 Flight Manual which was re-printed by the Publishing Company I worked for in 2002-03..

Then in 2006-07, I saw it live at the National Air & Space Museum near my house in Dulles, VA and was super excited!!

Want to marry a Rich guy? Seriously??

I received this as a forwarded email from my mom.. And I usually don’t like these forwards, but this one was very interesting.. I don’t know if JP Morgan actually wrote this(I highly doubt it) but either way its a great response..

A young and pretty lady posted this on a popular forum:

Title: What should I do to marry a rich guy?

I’m going to be honest of what I’m going to say here. I’m 25 this year. I’m very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above. You might say that I’m greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York . My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married? I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you? Among those I’ve dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit. If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden ( ? ) , $250k annual income is not enough.

I’m here humbly to ask a few questions:
1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym)
2) Which age group should I target?
3) Why most wives of the riches is only average-looking? I’ve met a few girls who doesn’t have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys
4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married)

Ms. Pretty

What a Dimwit!?? Who asks such questions??

Response:

Dear Ms. Pretty,

I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours. Please allow me to analyse your situation as a professional investor. My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I’m not wasting time here. From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you.. The answer is very simple, so let me explain.

Put the details aside, what you’re trying to do is an exchange of ‘beauty’ and ‘money’: Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square. However, there’s a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason. The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can’t be prettier year after year. Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It’s not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worried 10 years later.

By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a ‘trading position’. If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term - same goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or ‘leased’. Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you. I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income. This has better chance than finding a rich fool.

Hope this reply helps. If you are interested in ‘leasing’ services, do contact me…

So, girls.. Stop running after Rich Men, and make your money.. There’s no bigger satisfaction than that!

Lakers Game - Nuggets vs Lakers Series - Game 2

Last week we bought tickets to a sold out Lakers Game 2 at the Staples Center in downtown LA.. Even though we lost, the game was quite exciting and fun to watch.. Plus we got some celebrity sighting, such as Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Teri Hatcher, Denzel Washington and more.. But, the most exciting moment for me apart from the game of course was the Lakers Cheer Leaders dancing on a hindi bollywood song “Dance Pe Chance”.. I was so excited, that I almost fell over singing and dancing to it.. They had outfits that sortof mimicked a sari.. Pretty Cool.. Here’s a snippet I found on Youtube which was better than my recording..
