I am watching The Bachelorette<\/em><\/p>\n

I know, why???? <\/p>\n

It’s like not wanting to look at a horror movie, but you can’t help but peek anyway.<\/p>\n

You know it’s going to be a bad “B Movie” scene only there’s something oddly compelling about it. We don’t try and understand this phenomenon. We just give into it. We dig into the couch, pull up the covers and are captivated. <\/p>\n

We know they aren’t going to find true love. For Pete’s Sake, there’s only ONE ‘Ryan and Trista.’
\n\"sea-sunset-beach-couple\"<\/a>
\nBut we hope.
\n<\/em>
\nWe really hope because we want another ‘Ryan and Trista.’<\/strong><\/p>\n

I watch Jo Jo and I find myself screaming at the television.<\/p>\n

“Jo Jo pick Chase! You like the other two because they are hard to get and you liked Chase because he was hard to get until now!!”<\/p>\n

All I can think is poor Jo Jo likes the guys who seem like a challenge and she hasn’t yet figured out that equals heartbreak.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m secretly hoping this is leading up to Jo Jo and Chase ending up together. Because who didn\u2019t love him after he stripped down and looked at the camera and said, \u201cSorry Grandma.\u201d Come on! He\u2019s the guy! Oops, that was Robby wasn’t it?? But still, Chase is Jo Jo’s guy.<\/p>\n

I think it’s time for a Divorced Bachelorette<\/em> – don’t you agree?<\/strong>
\n\"couple-love-people-romantic\"<\/a>
\nWe wouldn’t spend a lot of time saying we “feel a connection” and “will you accept this rose?”<\/p>\n

We would say, “Hey, you’re a good person and you look like you know how to treat another human being AND I’m attracted to you. Will you bring ME roses?”<\/p>\n

Done. <\/p>\n

Born to my native Brooklyn parents, I have a love of all things city and all things country. I found myself in the town of Scranton, Pennsylvania, which prior to The Office, nary a soul could envision less you found yourself on the hills of Interstate 81. I was held up there while I pursued my B.S. in Business. I have two passions: Business marketing and writing. The two are not so terribly different. Why? Cultivating a brand is in essence the story and the connecting of the dots of a corporate entity. I write features for various magazines and newspapers and I am a national divorce columnist (what can I say things didn\u2019t turn out quite the way I thought they would). I am also a former business columnist. For more than fifteen years, I spent my summers on the Jersey Shore in what I call my \u2018out of state\u2019 clothes once again magnetized to the northerners I find so familiar. If I were to brand my writing, I would say I write of LOVE. That is the core from which I begin most stories. I find myself drawn to dig for the moments in the story that are the passion that drive the message. It may be the love of what originally started a business or an authentically motivated personal profile, or simply the love of a subject being investigated which compels me to write. My forever favorite form of writing is the human interest essay or what I call, \u201cAn Interview With Life.\u201d The average day that is explored and somehow once again instills in us a joie de vivre\u2026..a joy of life. These human moments are the Hope Virus that spreads amongst us and can\u2019t help but propel us into better human beings with a larger sense of the world.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/author\/corme"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2436","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/575"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2436"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2436\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2446,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2436\/revisions\/2446"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2436"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2436"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2436"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
