I haven’t written anything in a long time. so right now, i’m writing this on my iphone using the wordpress app that I’ve actually had for the past year but never used. one of the reasons that I think I’ve taken so long to write is because, not being a writer, i’ve been placed certain standards on myself as to what a blog entry should be or not be (damn you social media and your undefined wild west)

last week though, I saw the movie Julie/Julia. if you know, it was an oscar nominee in a few categories. i always thought it as a chick flick from the ads (kinda was but on a totally different level). anyways, the main theme that i got out of it was simply: inspiration. and sidebar: truth be told, the acting was superb too.

so, in this post there are no photos or text links, nothing that i’m forcing myself to produce just for social media’s sake. just a bit of transparency into what’s on my mind today. after all, I’ve been talking about transparency all day so I may as well start it here and now.

I was saying that I think it’s important for clients to actually know a little more about individuals/companies they work wih in order to forge better relationships. by using social media, whether it’s twitter or linkedin, it becomes a means to an end. as long as the work gets done, if my clients know I enjoy a full bodied cabernet with my dinners, all the better.

but hey, if you’re shady to begin with, you’d be hiding anyway. yeah talking to you west VA mining companies. that’s all for now.

and happy birthday lauren cook.
