So this is about the 15th straight day of rain and I have a feeling this might just carry straight into Fall. At this point I’m fine with that, although maybe I’ll move to Florida.

Apparently, according to my Weather.com iPhone app, it never rains in Northern Florida! Orlando, Tampa, you know all the good cities that are worth visiting. Although I guess I can live with the rain. It could be worse. Just look at this image on a news report from CNN on lava rain in Hawaii…

And by that I mean I was playing Pocket God on my iPhone.

Left 4 Dead is just one of those games that shows a little goes a long way. The game itself isn’t long but you can honestly play this over and over for months and still have a blast. Survival mode was released not to long ago and it’s really added a quick fast pace to a game that would take about an hour to play. For those of you who don’t know what left for dead is please let me to google that for you. You may also want to click here. Now you may ask yourself, what’s better than beating a game? Why not having a life and finding all it’s exploits….well I mean I have a life, so this was shown to me. shutup. I’ve included a video of a map exploit on the Rooftop Finale from the No Mercy campaign. Much like The Crane in Dead Air there is a ledge you can step to that technically puts you out of the map which the zombies can’t find. You can stand or crouch but for some reason when you jump they can lock onto you. I start getting board so I start jumping….which inevitably leads to my death.

Vacuums, pool filtration systems, Nick Bollea, and losing your wallet. Which is what I did this morning. I looked everywhere for my wallet, my car, your car, all over my house, I called the mall and re restaurant I went to last night and found nothing. I was tearing my house apart for almost an hour and a half. So I call my bank, AMEX and Chase to have new cards sent which took another half hour, but the customer service was really nice on all three parties so I can’t complain. 15 minutes later I find my wallet…in my couch…that I never sit on…WTF! And yes, I was sober the night before.
Although that sucks, I found my wallet and just need to wait for my new cards. I mean it could be worse. I could be riding my bike in the rain….which someone was doing while I was driving to work. No weather suit, just the motorcycle jacket and jeans.

BARREL!

Of course someone as amazing and cool as me went to the Rattlesnake Rooftop Tweetup (#roofup). I mean, look at my picture above. You can’t argue with those glasses. Well past that, two bars upstairs, one inside one out, and great weather. Mega high five to @sarahmerion for throwing this together. I have no idea how many people showed up but it was jammed. Some prizes were given away, along with an awesome supply of Kickass Cupcakes. How do I know they are awesome? Because they taste like sex in your face and like I said before, just look at my glasses…..ok, I stole the glasses from @timallard. But thats not the point.

Got to do some drinking Greg (@mrnorth), Freedom (@apiguy), Matthew (@msmamet), Josh (@joshgan) and Tim (@timallard) and Bryan (@btweetz) who are not pictured. Also got to meet a few pretty cool people like Rami (@rtaibah) and Mike (@schneidermike). Wow there are a lot of links here. You can see some other shots of the night by Steve Hall by clicking this: Boston Rooftop Tweetup. I know I had a good night, how do I know? Look at my tab!
Oh and the fun car ride home! It was a nice sobering mile walk back to the car.

I can safely say that everyone has had at least one of those nights where you just end up drinking way too much. Next morning comes rolling around and while you and your friends are driving to an IHOP or Dunkins you get to relive every absolute stupid thing you said and or did the night before. Some people start fights, some people act goofy, some people drunk dial friends…or if you’re like me, you create the worst Netflix list ever.

These were the past four videos in order that were requested AND MOVED TO NUMBER 1 in my Netflix Queue. I say I was drink, because there is no way I was sober when making these decisions.
-Indiana Jones 4 bombed. Even though I didn’t see the movie it gets a thumbs down.
-An American Carol looked like a waist of life, and I still don’t know what Chris Farleys brothers name is.
-Killswitch…..BLOODBANK
-War of the Worlds….2? Who the fu*k approved funding for this?
I don’t really drink too often, but maybe it’s still too much.
