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?...

where have Amanda been?

Wish I could begin to tell all the tales just on this page as concisely as possible.It will be an uphill task both for me and you too dear reader.However,October was a very busy month for me.Imagine,not having time to pen down anything for you to read?It was just too muddled up.Started with twin bombings in Abuja where I reside and then the loss of a very dear aunt.It was just too emotional for me but you can bet I am back on this blog for good.Lets keep keeping on and most importantly stay saluting the creator and giver of life.Life is a treasure no man should be quick to part with!

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...

How can we share love in a world void of love?

As each day passes,I see that so many people do not understand what sharing love is all about.Just last night,I saw a man,not a boy.I mean a full fledged man beating up a lady just by the roadside as if she were some common thief.On inquiry,I discovered she was his girlfriend.Did I hear you say,what?!!!.mhnnn...the feeling is mutual,but come to think of it,he may have had a reason which he felt was good enough to beat her up.Someone may say no reason is good enough...chapter closed. I remember sharing with you earlier that every person has a reason for every action he/she takes,wether good or bad.If he had beat her to death,he will still have a reason for his action and he would engage the services of a lawyer who will readily defend him in the court of law.That's the kind of world we live in...simply void of love. You know,on television this morning,I just kept hearing the news on rape.In case you are thinking the victim may have caused it for herself,well sorry to diasppoint ...
