“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.”
-Helen Keller
Author
Thoughts:
I tend to look at the closed doors for much too long.

Lies & Facts
“It is easier to believe a lie that one has heard a thousand times than to believe a fact that no one has heard before.”
-Author unknown
Thoughts:
It seems at times they are one in the same as Roughseasinthemed suggested in the comments section of the “Conceptual” post.
For example: American history, propaganda of the war in Vietnam, was my first thought upon reading the quote.

Conceptual
“A concept is stronger than a fact.”
-Charlotte P. Gillman
Author
The thought that a concept could be stronger than a fact had never occurred to me prior to reading the above quote.

Boob Racism
Are you 5’8″ tall, blonde and have huge boobs? Well, if you aren’t, pray your car doesn’t break down in my state. People in my state will not help strangers, unless they look like a model.
Charlize Theron: United States Actress and Model
Do you look like Charlize? If not, do not ask for help in my state. You would have to drive one state south in order for folks to help you!
Good luck if your car breaks down in a snow storm, you would most likely die. People are rude, crude and will not help strangers (in my state). However, I have seen others try to help women who look like models. The “model type” didn’t even need help!

No More “Fluff” Writing
I noticed that my blog has lost it’s luster lately. I began this blog to write about the things I am passionate about, such as:
- People
- Love
- Parenting
- Politics
- American history
- World history
- Learning
- Helping others (giving unwanted advice)
- Work
- Life
- Rants (to help me vent)
- American culture
- Learning about other cultures
Lately, I have written for my audience instead of myself.
I am going to go back to the original point of this blog. My readers will see very opinionated posts.
So, no more fluff.
Eccentric will be passionate and opinionated posts from this point forward.
