Ok, the worlds first Flying Hotel.. So many thoughts on this one. Lets start with the specs:

Since 2004, the company behind the Hotelicopter has been working to modify a Soviet-made Mil V-12 into two world firsts: the “world’s biggest helicopter” and the “world’s first flying hotel.”
As you might have guessed, the experience on board the Hotelicopter is far from your standard Motel 6. This gigantic flying Titanic machine features everything you would expect from a 5-star hotel—from private entertainment systems and room service to extras like spa treatments, yoga classes, gaming and a tea garden.

If you were wondering just how big and powerful this flying hotel really is, check out the specs:

* Dimensions Length: 42 m (137 ft)
* Height: 14m (45 ft)
* Maximum Takeoff Weight: 105850 kg (232,870 lb)
* Maximum speed: 255 km/h (137 kt) (158 miles/h)
* Cruising speed: 237 km/h (127 kt) (147 miles/h)
* Original Mi Range: 515 km (320 mi)
* Our augmented Mi Range – 1,030 km (640 mi)

The inaugural flight is set to take place on June 26th for an undisclosed price. Obviously, only the affluent need apply—but anyone that is interested can head on over to the Hotelicopter website to get more info about setting up a reservation.

Ok, my Amateur Thoughts:
Does my vacation aboard the Hotelicopter get delayed if a bad storm arives first?
Am I going to be ok with the turbulance at 6am?
How often am are we going to land and take back off for refueling?

Bottom line, I don’t think we are going to see these sprout up like condo’s in Myrtle Beach. 1 may be good and needed for those that have to do something new, but ill stick with my 2 bedroom timeshare every few months.

President Obamba took on questions from internet users yesterday, and one of the most popular questions was:

Will legalizing marijuana stimulate the economy as well as open up jobs? .. as seen in the video, the Presidents exact response was

No, I don’t think its a good strategy to grow our economy

Ok, time for my opinion. Whether for or against Marijuana.. Yes, it will open up more jobs and Yes it will stimulate and potentially grow our economy. Now based on the answer the President gave, he did not say he was against it, he just doesn’t think its a good strategy.

Out of curiosity, I Googled “How much money does California Make off of Medical Marijuana Each Year” and according to Chacah.com , the states sees 2% of all monies spent on Medical Marijuana. After searching for these numbers, I searched to see how much is spent on medical marijuana each year and various sources brought up 14 Billion Dollars a year. So lets do the math for just 1 state with limited clients:

2% of $14B = $280,000,000 … and this isn’t going to help?

It’s a given that Lebron James is Phenomenal, but its shots like this that leave me flat out amazed. If you are easily impressed, then this is going to blow your mind.. if you are hard to impress, then I found your cure. Enjoy!

This morning, the “Octomom” called into Big Boys Neighborhood for no apperant reason other then exposure. Her main messege was to state that she recommends that people do not believe or feed into the stuff we hear thru the media, yet she is Always talking to the media. Seems a bit rediculous to me.. I have 2 kids and barely have time for adult conversation let alone constant interviews.

Bottom Line: I dont understand why everyone still wants to talk to her.

After a call from her boss whom was concerned, numerous conversations with the woman and a call with her Father, also concerned, the 911 operator scolds and lectures the poor woman, who had been kid kidnapped and found dead shortly after.

We’re going to be launching a major search for you and you could be charged with all that expense if you don’t cooperate with me

We need to look for you like we looked for that little girl who was missing. If you hang up your creating a lot of work for a lot of people.

AAAAh.. I didn’t mean to send that!!!.. or maybe im the only one that as accidentally sent an email that I didn’t want to send. Like the time I was included in a 3 recipient email, completely thru one of the recipients under the bus and intended on just replying to the sender, not All.

One of Google’s most generous and loved gifts… GMAIL is adding a new feature, UNDO EMAIL, reports HLN.  The new feature will give you a 5 sec. window to UNDO which can potentially lead to keeping your job or saving your relationship.
