Talk is cheap

Action speaks louder than words.
You do not communicate well.
I forgot to use my quotation marks!

"I will have to agree to disagree with you."
I continue to be stubborn and unchanging.
Some narratives I find online and on media are never representative of my thoughts.
Sometimes the loudest...

I guess I have always be quiet.
I hide too.
Loud and fast.
Quiet, slow and still here with a flat face or a frown.
Eventually the stoic disappears.

Now a tangent...
There are scenes in The Bachelor or The Bachelorette where the "well-spoken" person with a North American accent will tell the "poor speaker" with a foreign accent that "you do not communicate well".  The well spoken person will continue to repeat the same message over and over again until both parties agree that their relationship is not working out.  I have always been the supporter of the poor speaker!  The "well spoken" person will continue to speak because it feels good to sound good and be reaffirmed by others... so the well spoken person continue to receive positive reinforcements.  On the other hand, the poor speaker will continue to receive negative reinforcements until the poor speaker become a "well-spoken" person.  The poor speaker will have less opportunity to speak and less practice time.  The poor speaker will not be heard well because the poor speaker will be interrupted by the "well spoken" person.

I know what I want.
I know what I have.
I have never liked research.
I am a go lucky girl.
People like me exist that's why the search team invented a phrase call "I'm feelin' lucky".

Cheers to that!

Saturdays with Finn

I am about to read Tuesdays with Morrie again hence the title of this blog.  I could not get past the first few pages in my last reading because I was unable to concentrate or it was too heavy.  I don't know but it was already a book on my to read list before my father handed it to me.  I read Mitch Album other book because I saw a movie adaptation of one of his book.  Anyhow, I have to write about the Bachelorette.  This season, I did not watch any fans video about the show nor did I read any fan writings of the show until the last two weeks of the show.  I have not even watched any part of the season finale.  If Jimmy, Jimmy, Steve or any retired professional comedians are still watching the show and made mini segments about this season... I have not seen them yet.  I don't think I heard the word amazing too often this season but I only saw clips of the show.

My comment is that the editing team could have done a better job.  Was there always this many public display of affection every season? Were the Bachelor and the Bachelorette aware that they were surrounded by cameras when the Bachelorette was affectionate with each eligible Bachelor.  I cringed too many times because the camera took so long to fade away.  There were too many get a room moments.

Anyhow I am now going to read first and then search for some "toast" videos.

Finn is my big white dog and he is sleepy soundly on my right.
