Constitutional Hotness

He's just a 30-something-year-old, confused, emotionally wrought, good 'ol Texas boy. He's eloquent, polite, mostly respectful, successful, intelligent, and just trying to make it in this life. And I forgive him. How could you not?

Who is it? Before I tell you...let's review other forgivenesses. I just made up that word.

I forgave my dad for giving away my dog when I was in high school. I came home and had no dog. No warning...just no more dog. And I forgave Dad. That was huge.

I forgive Jesse Palmer for his womanizing ways. This one is important because he's hot. Every hot guy should be forgiven. I think that's in the constitution.

I forgive Kelly Ripa for birthing three children and having a rock-hard body. It's just not fair...but I forgive her.

And let's be honest...I can forgive others because others have to practice forgiveness with me with much more frequency. I do some pretty thoughtless things...like eat marshmallows out of the Lucky Charms, say mean things about boyfriends that I don't mean, say mean things about my friends' ability to perform in competitions. Yeah...I do some dumb things. Like I said yesterday, forgiveness is a key to good living. And I want to live good. Yesiree.

So...I said yesterday that you would shoot me for saying that I forgive him. But I do.

I forgive...none other than...Brad Womack. That's right, Bachelor Brad.

*GASP*

He was on Ellen back in November. Well, with the ingenious trickery that Hollywood calls reruns, I was able to catch the show yesterday. Poor man was OBVIOUSLY uncomfortable and just tried in his heart of hearts to explain himself. He was rubbing his hands, exhaling with puffed cheeks, and a little squirmy. I just felt for him.

Oh and he's hot. Yep, it's the 17th Amendment. Thou shalt forgive extraordinarily hot men.

Here are the points I forgive him on:
1. He said he's truly going through a break up and is not dating.
2. He said he regrets telling DeAnna that "Saturday will be a good day." He was trying to comfort her and he just said it. Everyone says things without thinking them all the way through. (Such as how I've said I don't want to be on her team because she will suck at Catchphrase. Sorry...I just said it.)
3. He truly wishes he found love because he believes in the fairytale romance. He's sad it didn't work out. Side note: I think Brad and I are the only two mentally defective people left in the world that still believes in this.
4. Under no circumstances did he ever ask the producers to fly her dad out to ask for her hand in marriage. !!! WELL I WISH SOMEONE WOULD HAVE TOLD ME THAT EARLIER. This is a huge point! He said that he told producers that if he planned on getting engaged, a phonecall would not be sufficient enough to ask for a woman's hand in marriage. He said he wants to look the woman's father in the eye and ask for her hand. The producers took it upon themselves to fly dad out...just in case.
5. This is the most relative point. It shakes me to my core and helps me understand life just a little bit better. He said, "There was definitely something, just not enough to pursue a relationship." I know exactly what he's talking about. And that is what makes me forgive him.

Road trip to Austin to go to his bars, anyone? I think it just might work out between him and me.

If you think I'm exercising flawed logic here, may I redirect you to the 17th Amendment? Forgive hot men.

On that note...I forgive the other guy, too. Buddy taught me a life lesson. Definitely something but not enough to pursue.
