Peoples Eclectic

I've been toying with the idea of writing short essays on the various people who have captured my interest of the years due to their idiosyncracies, ideas, and life history. I am in love with characters who wandered around this vast planet fully tuned into their own ideas and awareness. People like Paul Dirac, who took every statement literally, and lived his life on an entirely different plane; away and above the common public. Dirac didn't seem to want to be different as much as he came off confused about what everybody else was doing around him. He was known to climb trees around the campus of the university, where he taught theoretical physics, in his business suit. He didn't pay attention to social order and propriety because, in my opinion, he was too smart. That is simple, but seems very well to be the case. Paul Dirac was too smart and too gifted to worry about what might seem weird or strange. His behavior was not threatening, nor was it dangerous. He was a man living in a different realm than most other men. Did that make him greater or lesser? He was a very gifted physicist, but most likely lacked many other skills, evening him out and putting him on par with the rest of humanity. He did, however, steal the stage on which we, the audience, constantly judge and predict what the human characters are going to do. Dirac lowered himself from the ceiling, so to speak, when his direction was to enter stage left.

These kinds of people are going to be my focus for a series of writing that I'm going to call, Peoples Eclectic. I will draw inspiring, and rather odd, characters from all walks of life, from different professions and backgrounds, who hold polar beliefs and walk in the extreme.

I will be publishing these essays soon, hopefully by the beginning of June, at:
