pondering pistachio conspiracy 63 pistachio conspiracy 63 a blog where i write about stuff and other things menu skip to content home about the blog about me search search for pondering possibilities 22 10 2018 21 10 2018 pistachios 13 comments sometimes i wonder if my tendency to attach meaning to even the most ordinary things is a product of my being a reader or a writer reading shows me many possibilities writing makes me want to seek more possibilities symbolism metaphors analogies lyricism did i learn these from reading or writing i suppose the two go hand in hand lightning butterflies a speeding car an ominous cloud do i dramatise things because that s what i ve been shown or because that is what i seek still water a familiar scent refracted light cautious footsteps how do i know if it is excessive an affliction nervous excitement a poem fallen leaves a dream of all the possibilities in the world i m not sure if it s possible to really change this i m not sure if i would a waterfall memories a soothing melody sunshine a logophile s quandary 16 11 2016 13 11 2016 pistachios 2 comments for the longest time now like seriously i can t even tell you how long i ve been meaning to write a post about some of my favourite words at one point i even started compiling a list but then i realised that there were just too many words for one post then i thought of that a z blogging challenge that some of the bloggers i follow participate in from time to time and i thought that d be a good way to space it all out but then it s so much effort let s be realistic here it s probably never going to happen and i can t just write about my most favourite word because that always changes and mostly it s just too hard to pick just one word at any one point in time what i did notice along the way however is that i seem to have an affinity for words containing the letter c or words that have a c like sound in them this does not however mean that i like all words that fit this bill i m also not sure if the presence of the letter c is just a coincidence which it could be because i also like words that are c free continue reading afternoon contemplation 15 10 2016 pistachios 2 comments today was a lovely day a blue sky mild weather sort of day brisbane springtime at its best around mid afternoon after having met up with a friend for lunch and a general catch up i made my way over to my favourite grassy spot in south bank to just sit and relax i ve gotten into the habit of always or almost always bringing pen and paper and a novel with me wherever i go but today i d also brought earphones and decided i just wanted to sit back listen to music and people watch well initially i did try to write a bit but the inspiration wasn t really coming so i didn t worry about it continue reading rethinking alcohol 08 10 2016 08 10 2016 pistachios 4 comments for some time now over the last few months this year since last year not really sure i ve been pondering about the drinking culture in australia and reflecting on people s relationships with alcohol including my own you don t have to be an expert in public health to know that alcohol contributes to a lot of health problems long and short term and can lead to death for some time i ve been thinking of writing a post about all this but just kept putting it off but when i read this post by george at the off key of life i thought i d lend my support and do my bit and basically add my two cents worth continue reading non specific apathy 07 03 2016 06 03 2016 pistachios 6 comments from time to time i find that i am struck with what i ve termed non specific apathy which is exactly what it sounds like a general unexplained feeling of non feeling i suppose it s kind of close to a melancholy sort of feeling but it s not quite as sad this non specific apathy is however bad for motivation because if you re feeling apathetic nothing really matters right i don t think it happens to me often but apparently when it does strike it can be quite obvious to others ok so this is kind of entering into new territory because i don t tend to write overly personal things on this blog but like i always say this is my blog and i ll write what i want over the years i ve come to learn that i m supposedly quite good at concealing my stress and worry about a lot of things i cannot tell you how many people have told me throughout high school uni and work that i never or rarely seem to be stressed out and or that i seem to be a very happy enthusiastic person the latter observation is actually quite accurate because i do have a tendency of approaching new tasks challenges with enthusiasm and alacrity the former observation is possibly also reasonably accurate but i m not sure to what extent it s a conscious subconscious effort to appear cool calm and collected i suppose then that when i stray from this composed visage it might for those who know me well enough be obvious enough side note if you ve happened to notice that in these last few months specifically since the start of this year i m using a lot more commas in my writing it s almost certainly because i ve been reading charles dickens david copperfield and the bookish amongst us all know that dickens is renowned for his long sentences which of course cannot be constructed without a healthy sprinkling of commas and other punctuation marks however part of me does wonder if on some level i don t actually try to conceal this apathy at all and would actually prefer that it was noticed but i mean if it s a general apathy why would i care who knows and who doesn t sometimes i wonder if it s a kind of quiet cry of distress or maybe a silent call for help maybe it s some weird self preservation strategy for when i m feeling emotionally overloaded yeah that sounds plausible i ll go with that fraught with assumptions 04 03 2016 28 02 2016 pistachios 4 comments the other day when i caught the bus i noticed that the bus driver was probably a bit older than the average driver i had noticed this as i got on the bus because i always greet the driver as a common courtesy and i thought to myself that he must have been driving buses for years or decades as the bus pulled away from the stop i asked myself given the apparent age of the driver whether i trust his experience or whether i should be worried because of his years i realised of course that both options were fraught with assumptions continue reading posts navigation older posts recent posts august 2026 m t w t f s s 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
