It was 2015 when I last posted to this space.
My life as a blogger has been sporadic at best, similar to my life as a fitness devotee. On-again-off-again, marked by periods of mostly off-again.
But today is April 1, 2018 and it is the day I have decided to drop off of Facebook. When I posted that I'd be getting off Facebook, it was mostly to give people fair warning that the pages I created for my ski team, as well as a few other things, would go away and they should take any pictures or things they wanted before they went away.
What surprised me was the level of support for what I was doing, as well as the fond wishes and comments saying people would miss me. Now, this is not to be self-congratulatory, but more to appreciate those people who said kind things. Several of them said they'd miss my three-word reviews. Several of them said they'd miss my takes on sports, or music, or current events. And a few just said they'd miss having me around.
Upon reflection, I realized there's still a space for those things if anyone wants to join me.
This is my blog, "There's Always Someone Cooler Than You". I've always had a fantasy that Ben Folds would stumble upon it someday, and leave a comment on the blog whose title I stole from him.
I'd like to make it more of a "thing" in my life--perhaps a place for random thoughts and musings. It's purely vanity. If you don't come in, I'll never notice. But if you do come in, I'd love to know you're here, more so I can keep in touch with people than for my self-gratification. Ultimately, I'll be writing for me, but if you enjoy three-word reviews, this will be the place.
Since my Facebook will be gone later today, I'll be posting notifications of updates on Twitter. Maybe Instagram, if I ever figure out how that's supposed to work.

Insta is to pictures what Twitter is to phrases.
Blessings brother. How appropriate for Easter, the day of new beginnings. -Daryl
What I really need to do is up my picture game.
Thank you, and to you as well! Good to hear from you!
Glad that I’ll still be able to stay I. Touch with you my cousin
I'll be following you, Dave! And I'll miss seeing you over on the fb. But I get it! Happy Easter to you and yours.
Hey Dave, I’ll be following you. Love your words—want to make sure I don’t miss out on any of your pearls. Onward, friend! Happy Easter and spring to you all. :)
Good to still be able to keep track of you, Dave. I'm still mulling over the Facebook thing and whether or not to drop out. I'm sure it would actually do me a lot of good in many ways. But I am glad it put me back in touch with so many people I'd lost touch with.
