Nothing to say

{ Tags: None \ Apr24 }

Ever sit at your computer and feel you’ve got nothing to say? No matter how many feeds you read for a lead (say that 10 times fast) nor how much you try and motivate yourself to write. It just ain’t happening. Nothing in the tank. Can’t be bothered. I’m sure it happens to everyone.

So as I write this with nothing to say, declare nor share with the world, I wonder how many people write for the sake of keeping their readers happy? I couldn’t do it. “But you’re supposed to write for your readers” some will say. “But why?” I ask. “I’m not commercial.” I add in defiance. No one owes anyone anything. While appreciative of anyone who has bothered to stop by, I don’t owe them anything and they certainly don’t owe me anything either. It’s a ‘no strings’ relationship. You and I are just having fun.

So, in my moment of un-rhetoric-ness, allow me to offer you a few links:

Tom Murphy talks about the new era of PR. It’s called PR5.0 and it’s such an evolution of PR that they’ve skipped 2.0,3.0 and 4.0 altogether. How’s that for advancement?

This post by Piaras Kelly is probably the best thing I’ve read online in a while.

This is a song by Beck called Girl. Tis very good.

See, told you I had nothing to say.

I’ve been struggling to keep up with a blog i write for the BBC. People keep asking me when my next one will be written but i don’t really know - i have nothing interesting to say at the moment.

Johnathan I was at the PR Unspun event last night. What did you think of it? It was strange seeing the likes of Neville Hobson and Stuart Bruce in the flesh having read their blog for the last year or so. Didn’t stay to mingle much though because the football ws on.

I thought Neville was great - hugely intelligent and concise- like a PR version of Arsene Wenger. Not sure if Jackie (from Edelman) convinced me with her answer to the Edelman / Walmart fiasco though.
