About...

Paul Baker

Waterloo-based journalist, Paul Baker, likes to think of himself as an urban bohemian, spending his days indulging fantasies of being a 'serious' writer, musician and photographer. He is actually a disagreeably honest and pathologically argumentative ne'er-do-well. Join him as he wades through this thing we call life, this city we call home, and all things despicable!

Birth of a Culture Capital...

Posted by Paul Baker on January 2, 2008 4:59 PM | 

Merry New Year. After a brief sojourn away from the keyboard I'm back for the crux of this blog, namely 2008. What's going on, does the city feel any different and what's the point of it all anyway?

As I thought about my blog that lies hereth, I was struck by the dissapointment that it hasn't really done what I wanted it to. I wanted to write about my thoughts on the city and what was going on, but lately, it seems like nothing has been going on. I'm half expecting the sea change to come, it has to, something has to happen, there must be something to write about soon. Come on Liverpool, wake from your apathy and start annoying me!
Of course, the problem is also mine, I am suffering from the same apathy that Liverpool slumbers beneath, but once more I hope to shake it off and experience something worth writing about.
I enjoy reading my little musings and strange witterings but I realise the audience for such things is limited, particularly if you haven't backed it up with a firm 'product'. Well, 2008 is the product of all blog products and there will be a great many Scouse bloglords commenting on the iceberg threatening to hit the city any day now.
I wait with baited breath, dear reader, and pray it rocks the bows sufficiently to startle and amaze, without causing too much wreckage.
It's Capital of Culture time...
