Google Maps - Love It

I am really, really, loving Google Maps. It’s so easy to use and efficient to use. When I was house hunting not too long ago, I used Google Maps whenever I needed to find an address given to me by my real estate agent. I was even able to bookmark those locations and add notes like asking price, square footage, closing date, etc.

Then, I started to frequently use Google Maps to get directions from one place to another within the city. Once again, Google made this feat so ridiculously easy for me. Just type in the to and from addresses, and badda boom; Google maps out the best route for me. Gives me the estimated travel time and everything. The ability to recognize the one ways really impressed me. Also, with a click of the mouse, I was able to change the route as I see fit. For example, if I wanted to avoid a certain street.

Now, I found yet another great way to make use of Google Maps. I map out my running routes! It’s super helpful because of the fact that I am completely new to this neighborhood. I just type in my address and scan the area for a route that I like. I can scan it using the map or the satellite view. The real beauty is, it gives me the kilometers so I know if I can handle the route or not.

Google maps gets two thumbs up from me!!

Summer is Here

What a beautiful day it was, today. The sun was shining. The birds were chirping. The breeze was cooling. All in all, a perfect summer day. After work, today, I decided to just chillax; relax and chill for those not-in-the-know.

I popped open a nice, cold bottle of Guinness beer; my favorite. Laid my carcass on my hammock in the backyard. Gave myself a little swing and enjoyed every fucking moment of it. The only thing that could have made it better, was if the bottle of beer was bigger.

I just hope there’s more of those days to come.
