I particularly like his intro post about what this "blog" will be and his thoughts on the whole "shirtless Bachelor" thing. Enjoy and bookmark it for future reading.

A sampling of his writing. After reading this it's no wonder he's writing a book!
This is not a blog.

That’s what I’m trying to convince myself of anyway. See, I don’t want a blog because everyone has a blog. And everyone thinks their blog is uniquely different from the countless other blogs tangled within the interwebs. If that’s true, why do nine out of ten girls in this country run a “dress for less” fashion blog? Okay, maybe I made that statistic up but you get the point. I don’t want to follow the masses and I don’t want to be responsible for producing something that’s already been produced a million times over and try to pass it as original.

“Wow! I didn’t know you were so cynical Sean!” Is this what you’re thinking? Fair enough. Let me turn it around now. If you’ve followed me at all, you may know my story. Two years ago, I was a normal dude who swore I would never take part in a cheesy reality show about love. I said this after getting a phone call from the casting department at The Bachelor, which was a result of my sister submitting an application on my behalf (unbeknownst to me). I then decide a free, all-expenses-paid vacation sounded better than selling insurance so I gave in and continued with the casting process. You know how the rest goes: I get dumped on national TV, I’m asked to be the bachelor, I agree, I meet a smokin’ hot girl named Catherine and fall madly in love, we get married on live TV.

That’s the Cliff Notes version anyway. I left out the awkward rose ceremonies and the even more awkward “white guy dancing” on DWTS but I’ll leave those stories for another day. Needless to say, my life has been flipped upside down since this whole “journey” (insert gag) began.

Back to the issue at hand, why create this thing that is clearly not a blog?

Well, because I like you.

“But you don’t know me?” I bet you’re thinking.

Maybe I don’t know you personally but I see your words of encouragement on Instagram, I see your funny comments on Twitter, and I love how you stop us in the street to congratulate us on our love story.

That’s why I’m creating this thing that isn’t a blog. I want to share my life with you in more than just pictures and 140 characters. Warning: if you don’t speak sarcasm fluently, you may get lost. Here we go…

Why is it I hate blogs and the pathetic people who blog but I love this? Two reasons 1) Sean Lowe 2) This isn't a blog because Sean said so.

^ I love his blog. His sarcasm and wit shine through. He and Cat are both great writers.

The Sky Mall one is the best! Looks like he's adding a bunch of entries today.

^Just some new color like I predicted. Smiley

Almost looks ombre-esque which should bring back flashbacks from when they met.

Thanks Umngirl, I love Sean's "blog" more things to read when I feel down...

I'm going to add the link to the blog to the MEDIA-NO DISCUSSION thread so it's easy to find.

Loved reading and can't wait for the rest of his blogs. Thanks for posting!!

What a great find, thanks umngirl!! Wow, his (not a) blog is making me even more excited for his book. He has a way with words for sure.

I think that is what his publisher had in mind..to generate interest in his writing. They probably suggested it.
