Stalking...why?

Canadian country star Shania Twain testified Friday that she has compassion for a man accused of stalking her but remains concerned that he will continue to pursue her.

Giovanni Palumbo has been charged with three counts of failure to comply with a court order and criminal harassment. He had pleaded not guilty earlier this week but after listening to testimony Friday from Twain, Palumbo's lawyer told court that his client would plead guilty to both charges.
Lawyer Gary Barnes said that hearing Twain's heartfelt testimony stirred a revelation in Palumbo."He realized: 'My God, I have upset her,'" Barnes told reporters after court had adjourned for the day.

I am so curious as to why people stalk others.I have had this experience and still having it even.Thankfuly*can I say?*,it is not physically but on the phone.I had this number calling me consistently and at odd hours too.

I remember the first day I picked he/she didn't say anything .After some seconds of "helloing",I cut off the line and the same scenario replayed.I didn't think much of it at first but when it started happening like every other day,I became worried and the time was always between 12am and 4am in the morning,but surprisingly the person graduated to daytime calls.One day I got so annoyed,I decided to call the person but he/she wouldn't pick,so I started sending messages to threaten him,warning him/her to stop harrassing me.For some reason I believed it was a man,I mean why would a woman want to do that to a fellow woman?True to my instincts,when I got brother to call the number it was surely a guy with this heavy local accent,I almost had a heart attack.I didn't recognize the voice!.My brother did everything to get him to reveal his identity but the foolish guy never did.
Then he got another number and it was thesame trend.He would call but would never pick up and so I had to block the two numbers.*I had to look for a way to stop the madness*.So i rested for awhile,but when I changed my phone and didn't have a clue how to block numbers the *buguulu*resurfaced..It sometimes leaves me with a scary feeling  though I am very much annoyed.I can't think of why anybody would want to do that.So the two numbers call me even now.More worrisome is that on my second phone, an anonymous number would call me and would end thecall whenever I pick but I remember once when the caller didn't end the call when I picked.He let the minutes roll by for about 48 minutes until,I ended the call by myself.
Why would anybody do this?For fun or just to satisfy some weird desire?I just can't understand it.I have been thinking seriously of reporting to the Police.Everyone says it could be someone I know very well who hasn't got the guts to approach me and I ask really but why?...

Amanda,reporting to the Police may very well do the magic especially since all numbers are registerd with NCC.I just keep wondering how some people are that carzy.

Reasons for sharing

Knowledge,to me is closely linked to our identity.sharing is generally a willful method of disemminating useful information to other people.By sharing, we build realationships so that what we share is received and treated with respect.Actually,knowledge sharing and relationships are interlinked.It is therefore,imperative that we share love which is the bedrock of any lasting relationship. Why am I sharing anyway? I know you are just wondering why you should bother about sharing anyway,you probably feel you are not loved enough or not loved at all.mhnnn...the question is how much love do you give,how much love can you afford to share? Well,you know what they say,habits die hard...I simply love to share and again I share out of a sense of responsibility for my future...."what you sow is what you reap!".I feel there is a huge gap that needs us to fill it,simply by sharing love. This love could be for that husband who isn't living up to responsibility,that wife who wouldn...

Tired of giving!

Oops!it's been rain rain rain in this part of my world for the past one week.At times it can be really annoying,especially when you have planned a fun day and the rains come pouring down making the ground all wet and irritating.If there is anything I love to do,it is shopping.I had planned to go shopping and the rain wouldn't just go away so I threw caution to the wind and grabbed my little umbrella.Out in the rain I went,quickly hailed a cab and zoomed to the market. The entrance to the market was something else.Obviously like me,the rain couldn't deter so many people.People were milling around everywhere,even beggars sat put in their positions begging for alms from all who passed them.One of them particularly caught my attention.Unlike others he was standing,his buttons were all undone and I saw something like a rope connected to his navel,tracing the end,I saw something like a drip or something but some kind of satchet with some content in it in his hand and then there w...

Why do they keep staring?

In these few years God has blessed me with on earth,I have seen so many things:the good,the bad,the ugly.I am so curious about men and their way of thinking.He is driving on the road,he is looking,in the office,he is looking,in the park,he is looking,even in church he is looking...Chei!what is it?.He gladly boasts that every man is wired that way,he couldn't be different. Ladies,have you ever been looked at by a guy so badly that you almost puked?There are those whose stares make you feel like smacking them behind and saying,don't be silly!.There are others whose stares make you feel embarrased and uncomfortable but there are those who make you feel like a queen made to be worshipped.Hahah...yea,I know that feeling...hey,don't worry the feeling is mutual.I like it too.I mean who doesn't want to feel wanted?. However,I am particularly curious about why some men just go bonkers at the sight of a woman.Why his nose will trace a perfume to the owner?Why his mouth will hang ...
