<div><strong> </strong><strong>Cyber                                        Stalking</strong><strong>- </strong><strong>Stalking                                        on the Internet</strong></div>
<p>Recently                                        there has been an emergence of a new kind                                        of stalking, commonly referred to as <strong>cyber                                        stalking,</strong> which simply means the use                                        of the Internet, e-mail, or other <em>online</em>,                                        electronic communication devices to stalk                                        another person. <em>Cyber stalking</em> takes                                        on many forms such as sending e-mail to                                        the victim, impersonating the victim in                                        chat rooms and e-mail messages, and spreading                                        untruths in a chat room. The Internet is                                        a very efficient and inexpensive way for                                        <strong>cyber stalkers</strong> to intimidate, terrorize,                                        and harm their victims while at the same                                        time remaining anonymous.</p></blockquote>
<p>The internet has made it way too easy for people to stalk you. Stalkers always claim they&#8217;re not stalking you, but is able to comment on everything you ever said or did on the internet. They&#8217;re able to quote what you <a href="http://twitter.com/gurl" target="_blank">tweeted</a>. They&#8217;re able to find your old pictures. They&#8217;re able to find all of your friends that are online too and they start keeping up with them. They save your blogs, pictures and blood type. And here&#8217;s the hypocritical portion of everything:  They get upset when they see  that you found out about them &amp; like to tell YOU that YOU have no  life for checking up on THEM checking up on YOU (did I lose you there?). I will admit, I check on my stalkers from time to time. Why? So I can be kept abreast on the fact that they are still stalking me. Right now, I am aware of 5 people that are currently internet stalking me (I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;s more). But the only reason I know about these 5 is that at some point, each one have lost their cool &amp; blew their cover by addressing me. One is dated as far back as 2002 but she&#8217;s slowed down immensely (at least I think). Another I believe started back in 2006, but she stalks a few other people as well so she stalks me whenever it&#8217;s my turn on her schedule. Then I have a bloated blogger from 2009 that started stalking me as soon as I rejected him. A self-proclaimed &#8220;doctor&#8221; that knows the first day my boyfriend and I met (from stalking my tweets). And last but not least, the one that&#8217;s been actively stalking me since 2004 &amp; is still stalking me to date. She is able to tell when I am ovulating. Where do they find the time?</p>
<p>You what a stalker&#8217;s favorite rebuttal is: <em>You&#8217;re a &#8220;nobody&#8221;</em>. If I&#8217;m such a nobody then why are you keeping up with my nobody ass? &#8220;You&#8217;re a nobody!&#8221; &#8211; Yet they  can name who you&#8217;re fucking, what school you went to, what club you go  to, the model and year of the car you drive, saved 30 of your pictures, know what day your sister got married, know how many hours you worked this week. Sheesh. When do you brush your teeth? I mean, according to you, I have no life. I&#8217;m ugly, worthless and a  nobody. So, judging by this concept, why are you concentrating on me so  much? Who really sits at home and concentrate on a &#8220;nobody&#8221;?</p>
<p>Stalkers will also try to flip it on you and say you are the one stalking them. However, why is it that they will know a lot about you but you know nothing about them? And God forbid they get a hold of who you&#8217;re friends with and who are your enemies. They will try to befriend <strong>both</strong> ends of the stick. Mainly the enemies, so they can feel like what they&#8217;re doing is right and <span id="more-1963"></span>to convince other people that you&#8217;re the issue, and not them.</p>
<p>Stalking takes a lot of dedication &amp; focus. I don&#8217;t know what provokes someone to stalk, but it&#8217;s clear that they need professional help. Especially if you had no physical interaction off the internet. I know for a fact it involves a high level of insecurity, low self-esteem, childhood issues and bad breath. I can&#8217;t remember a conversation I had with my boyfriend last week but a stalker will remember what day you posted a tweet about chewing bubble gum from last year. Now that&#8217;s talent!</p>
<p>The more you keep up with someone&#8217;s life, the more you&#8217;re missing out on yours. I guess it&#8217;s fair to assume a stalker don&#8217;t really have much of a life. Otherwise, they&#8217;d be too busy living it and not watching you live yours. Every move you make online, it is being logged &amp; reported. The &#8220;delete&#8221; button only deletes it from you &amp; the public to see but the information still remains in the company&#8217;s database and it will be accessed once it is <em>subpoenaed</em> by the courts. In other words: <strong>You are not as anonymous as you think you are.</strong> One woman sued Google to get the information about a woman who created a slanderous website about her. She is currently serving 3 years probation and that&#8217;s ONLY because the accuser requested for her to not serve any jail time. Remember, Internet stalking is a <strong>felony</strong> and you may never know who is able and willing to press charges against you. (:</p>
<p>These are very resourceful links to read through and gather information from. If you are considering prosecuting your stalker, you will have to contact your district attorney&#8217;s office and then they will guide you through the proper channels for your state.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic -->Revenge sounds so sweet when you&#8217;re stronger, smarter and doing better than your enemy. You know you have all of the equipment for payback. You have the ability to make them feel like shit and to further show them how worthless they are. You have the perfect ammo. However, seeking revenge against someone who has done you wrong, is only going to make things. Just wait on their karma. It&#8217;ll catch up to them much better. Furthermore, nothing makes an enemy more sick than to watch you succeed. I used to be real big on revenge. If you do me wrong, I can do you wrong better. But then a miracle happened: <strong>I grew up</strong>.  I realized that spending time on that negative energy will only bring  negativity to your life. I’ve reached a point where if someone I cared  about did me wrong, I’ll just let karma take it’s course. Because  there’s no way to avoid it. It’s impossible to duck karma and believe  that you will get away with the things that you’ve done. Just because I  don’t retaliate over the things you’ve done to me, doesn’t mean you’re  clear and free from any consequences. Shit is going to come back on you  tenfold. Ever seen someone go through a slew of  <em>“bad luck”</em> and is unable to recuperate? That’s not bad luck. That’s their <strong>karma</strong>. Bad luck is when you&#8217;re able to rise above it. To bring good from it and to strengthen from it. But to those  that are being intentional with their malice, continue on being the  hateful person that you are. That’s why no good will ever come to you.  That’s why you lost your job. That’s why he cheated on you.  That’s why she&#8217;s treating you like shit. That’s why you’re always losing money.  That’s why you’re stuck in a miserable relationship. That’s why you’re  losing your hair. Don’t blame it on luck…blame it on karma. Which is why  I took the word “revenge” completely out of my existence. I don’t want  guaranteed mishaps to interrupt my happy life. No ma’am.</p>
<p>Here are a few success quotes I live by:</p>
<blockquote><p>Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.  ~ <em>George Smith Patton</em></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>The man who has done his level best, and who is conscious that he has done<br />
his best, is a success, even though the world may write him down as a<br />
failure.  ~ <em>B.C. Forbes</em></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Success:  To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people<br />
and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics<br />
and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the<br />
best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child,<br />
a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has<br />
breathed easier because you have lived.  This is to have succeeded!  ~ <em>Ralph<br />
Waldo Emerson</em></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><strong>Karma:</strong> It&#8217;s a major task to not seek revenge when someone do you wrong. But when that same person keeps testing you, it becomes hard to &#8220;turn the other cheek&#8221;. Where I&#8217;m from, we say fuck the other cheek. Seek justice. Don&#8217;t get me wrong. Karma has not failed me. Eventually, I will get an update on how a person who was vindictive towards me is doing, and 9 times out of 10 they are not doing okay. I smile whenever I get these updates. Not because I wish bad on people but because I am satisfied that karma finally catches up them. However, I&#8217;m tired of waiting that long for karma. And I want to take up matters in my own hands. Because I do it so well, and so much better. Recently I had a patient who was relentless in her attempt to get me fired. All because I wouldn&#8217;t give her what she wanted. Had I give her what she wanted, I would have jeopardized my job because it was against the rules. But not giving her what she wanted ended up in her trying to get me fired. <em>You&#8217;re damned if you do, and you&#8217;re damned if you don&#8217;t.</em> I thought about sneaking into the parking lot and giving this spoiled rich bitch a piece of my mind, and maybe a piece of my knuckles. But it was raining and I didn&#8217;t feel like getting my hair wet.</p>
<p><strong>Taking someone for granted:</strong> People become <strong>too</strong> comfortable with you when you&#8217;re too nice. Then, when you decide to tell them about themselves, you&#8217;re not acting like &#8220;yourself&#8221;. Not entirely true. I am being myself. It&#8217;s just that I&#8217;ve remained nice for too long. I kept catering, and only catering, YOUR feelings. You keep fucking up, I keep forgiving and now you&#8217;re taking advantage of me. It stops today.</p>
<p><strong>Cowardice:</strong> An example of cowardice is telling everyone how you really feel about a friend, except for the actual person. I&#8217;m the type of person that if I have an issue, I&#8217;m going to address it with you. Not with Tom. Not with Keisha. With YOU. These days, people don&#8217;t have the balls to tell you how they feel. They don&#8217;t have the loyalty to talk to you directly. These days, people aren&#8217;t able to handle confrontation, or constructive criticism. The world revolves around them. Everyone wants you &#8220;keep it 100%&#8221;, but when you do that, they don&#8217;t want to accept what&#8217;s handed to them. &#8220;Communicate with me&#8221;. Grant them their wish, next thing you know, YOU&#8217;RE the one with the &#8220;issue&#8221;. You&#8217;re the &#8220;delusional&#8221; one. &#8220;Girl, you&#8217;re tripping&#8221;. &#8211; No, I&#8217;m not tripping. You just can&#8217;t handle the truth. When all is said &amp; done, you got nothing accomplished. You walk away feeling like things are unfinished and then the &#8220;friend&#8221; runs off to complain to OTHER people about you. Instead of just keeping it where it was: <strong>private</strong>. There&#8217;s a name for people like this that also falls under the category of cowardice: <em>bitch</em>. Also: Male  bitch, female bitch, immature bitch, big bitch, lil bitch, insecure  bitch, self-centered bitch, dumb bitch &amp; stupid bitch. Everyone wants to be respected, without actually giving that respect. Well, you&#8217;re not going to get what you don&#8217;t deserve. Fuck you.</p>
<p>This week, I don&#8217;t know. I am exhausted. I feel like so many people have  showed their true colors towards me. Either they&#8217;re jealous of what I  have going for myself or they want a piece of my positivity because  they&#8217;re too miserable to find happiness on their own. Well, I got news for you, I&#8217;m over it. I&#8217;m over getting riled up. I don&#8217;t have the energy for it anymore. From this day forward, I&#8217;m only going to focus on the positive.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic -->So&#8230;I was reading some of my old posts and I can see that last year must have been my toughest year for love. Or lack thereof. Now that I look back on things, I most certainly know that in each relationship I have been in, I was in them for the wrong reasons. And the one that I gave most of my love to, was the one to hurt me the most. I allowed him to derail my emotions on so many levels. Notice, I didn&#8217;t sit here and say &#8220;he did this&#8221; or &#8220;he did that&#8221;. All of the signs where there but I refuse to see them. All the hints where there but I refused to follow them. All my friends told me better but I refuse to believe them. It&#8217;s funny how when it comes down to love, no one can tell you what to do but yourself. Someone can drill &#8220;<em>he ain&#8217;t shit girl!</em>&#8221; in your head everyday, all day&#8230;but you&#8217;ll never see it for yourself and leave him until YOU find that strength to do it yourself. Upon moving on, at least I am able to see the light and know when and where things went wrong. Times where I thought I was in love when i really wasn&#8217;t. The post I&#8217;m referring to is titled &#8220;I&#8217;m A Fraud&#8221;.</p>
<blockquote><p>Yes…you read that right. <strong>I’m a fraud</strong>. I’m one of those people who talk so much about love, but is unable to determine it on her own. The ones that I’ve told “<em>I love you</em>” to, I never really loved them. At least, not the way I ought to. I was more in love with the fact that they loved me. I was infatuated with the way they cared for me. I lusted for them during the first month. But as time goes on, I started to lose that attraction. Then my patience starts to wear thin. By this time, I’ve gotten so used to being with this individual, I end up settling. Without even knowing that I have. Then that’s when it happens. Doubts. Doubts can break any bond you have with an individual. Do I really know this person? Is he really <em>the one</em> for me? Random thoughts start to surface my mind. Thoughts of who I wish he was more like. Thoughts of the good times I used to have with other men. Thoughts of the man that I believe to be, my ideal mate. Why I always find myself back in his arms? I don’t ever like to go backwards with relationships, but he always seem to be the exception in that rule. Like, no matter what we go through, we always end up back together. Like nothing ever happened. Is that what love is?…or is it something else? Is that healthy?…or is that self-destruction? Questions, questions, questions…that never seem to get answered…</p>
<p>I love you, but I’m not <em>in</em> love with you. I don’t think I ever was. You know who you are. And it’s more than one of you. I battle myself from time to time and try to figure out why I am like this. I’m quite sure I have broken many hearts due to my own selfishness &amp; confusion on what love, for me, is. And I apologize for that. The biggest hint that lets me know that I don’t really love the person I am with is this: <span style="color: #cc99ff;">when they threaten to leave, I don’t object to them doing so.</span> I’ll sit right on down, and watch them go. Do I cry? Nope. Does that make me an emotionless bitch? Nope. Just means that I didn’t care enough. I did, however, recall one time in my life where I <strong>did</strong> ask a man not to go. I actually fought for him not to leave. And he never left. The same man who holds that mysterious power over me. And you know what, I hold that same power over him. But why do we find ourselves apart every so often? Is that sign that we should leave each alone? Perhaps. So, if that’s the case, why do we always find each other again?</p>
<p>Right now in my life, I am overjoyed. My career, my financial status and my loved ones are kicking ass. I am definitely happy. But obviously…I am confused beyond natural belief. Confused as to why I feel this way and confused as to why I made the decisions that I have made this year. I have no clue what to do and <em>it’s scaring me</em>. Usually I’ll have a solution straight off the back when I’m presented with an ultimatum. But what do you do when the pros &amp; cons weighs out pretty much the same in either commitment? The worst thing I can do is nothing. I want to do the right thing for <strong>me</strong>. I believe the decisions that I’ve made in the past week were the best for me right now. I swear decisions have so much power. They usually take me to the exact place I need to be, exactly when I need to get there. Maybe I should take some chances. Take some risks. <strong>Follow my heart.</strong> Since time and opportunity wait for no one, my life will not stand still until I figure out what to do. I’ve gotten so used to the way my life is, and how I handle “love”….I’m afraid to fall into it again.</p>
<p>I hope I’m doing the right thing…</p></blockquote>
<p>Wow. Can you say &#8220;caught up&#8221;? I&#8217;m so glad I was able to experience those feelings because if not, I wouldn&#8217;t be so clear in what I want in a man, a relationship and love. I have such a strong embrace on love now, I take no shorts. Which is where I want to be. I feel sorry for those women that accept less than what they deserve or downplay the actions of a man. Fronting as if that&#8217;s what they want or that &#8220;it&#8217;s okay&#8221;. No it&#8217;s <strong>never</strong> okay to be treated less than what you&#8217;re worth. It&#8217;s never okay to remain somewhere when you&#8217;re not 100% happy. Even if it&#8217;s just a &#8220;sex&#8221; thing. Why give someone a coupon on your self-respect? If you allow to receive 50% of what you want, you&#8217;re giving people the legal right to only give you 50% of themselves. The neverending story you tell others as if things are how you want them to be are just a front. And you&#8217;re are only kidding yourself with those fraudelent storytales. Or maybe you&#8217;re trying to convince yourself. No matter what the circumstances are, we as women deserve to be treated how we represent ourselves. Unless you want to find yourself in a dead end relationship wth no real commitment to love.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s time to reflect on where you are and if that person deserves to be there with you. Love isn&#8217;t confusing. Lying to yourself is.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic -->You decided to let me go, wanted to start &#8220;seeing other people&#8221;<br />
and I cried for days.<br />
I called you 10 times, trying to change your mind&#8230;<br />
but you wouldn&#8217;t listen. You ignored my calls.<br />
I guess it was for the best, since you always treated me less.<br />
We argued for too long, and you stopped showing me attention.<br />
Too many nights were spent alone, hugging my pillow.<br />
I caught you too many times flirting with other women.<br />
I found myself checking my phone, just to see if I have service<br />
or if the ringer was off by accident.<br />
<em>No missed calls.</em><br />
Damn&#8230;you really didn&#8217;t call.<br />
You were supposed to come back, and tell me it was a mistake.<br />
That you never meant what you said the night before.<br />
That you love me<br />
adore me<br />
miss me<br />
appreciated me.<br />
<strong>Appreciation.</strong> Let&#8217;s talk about that for a moment.<br />
When I changed my hair color, you didn&#8217;t notice it.<br />
When I lost 10 pounds, you still complained that I needed to lose more weight.<br />
When I graduated with honors, you felt I wasn&#8217;t smart enough.<br />
When I got that raise, you suggested that I was sleeping with my boss.<br />
And when I asked if you ever thought about marrying me&#8230;<br />
you said I wasn&#8217;t good enough.<br />
I should have left you then<br />
I should have left you sooner than the night you left me.<br />
But all that is done and over with.<br />
I&#8217;ve moved on.<br />
And now&#8230;2 months later&#8230;<br />
you&#8217;re on me like white on rice.<br />
All of a sudden, you&#8217;re noticing me.<br />
Because I got my legs open&#8230;<br />
for your best friend.<br />
When they were closed<br />
and I loved you with all my heart&#8230;<br />
you called me thunder thighs.<br />
Now your best friend can get enough of what&#8217;s inside these thighs.<br />
Oh, you want to know why I&#8217;m fucking him? Sure&#8230;I&#8217;ll tell you&#8230;<br />
it&#8217;s because he&#8217;s the next best thing to you.<br />
He&#8217;s your best friend! That means you&#8217;re both alike, you talk alike and you even fuck alike.<br />
But his dick is better.<br />
And now, 2 months later&#8230;<br />
now&#8230;<br />
NOW&#8230;<br />
you&#8217;re starting to pay me more attention.<br />
You said that my hair color brings out my eyes more.<br />
You said my ass looks great in these jeans.<br />
You even showed up at my Summa Cum Laude celebration party.<br />
Sent flowers to my job, sending me emails of wedding locations.<br />
<strong>They all went ignored.</strong><br />
Please return to sender. With a little pink post-it note on them.<br />
And it stated &#8220;I moved on to next. And he&#8217;s right beside you.&#8221;<br />
When I was a classy little princess, I went unheard.<br />
But now that I&#8217;m a tasteless whore, I&#8217;m irresistable.<br />
You&#8217;re calling me worse names now. Even threatened his life.<br />
It took me having an affair with your best friend<br />
for you to realize how much you love me<br />
but it&#8217;s too late now<br />
my stomach&#8217;s starting to grow.<br />
And I have no clue who the father is.<br />
My my my, how my phone is ringing off the hook now&#8230;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: right;"><strong>&#8220;the best friend&#8221;</strong> <em>written by chanel.</em></p>
<p>As you can see, there will always be consequences just when you think a person is gaining. The woman in that poem didn&#8217;t conquer. <em>She failed miserably.</em> She failed her morals, self-respect and her <strong>life</strong> by having sex with her ex-boyfriend&#8217;s best friend and bringing in a baby for all the wrong reasons. She was successful in so many ways but not with her relationships. No matter how you dress it up, it&#8217;s always wrong to get involved with someone one of your close friends, or family member, used to date. If any of my friends introduce me to a man that they say they have a &#8220;crush&#8221; on, I would never make any moves on him. Or allow him to do the same to me. It&#8217;s trifling and dirty. I am immediately turned off by him because I know how my friend feels about him. I will acknowledge the fact that he&#8217;s good looking, as approval, but that&#8217;s it. Personally, I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s appropriate. So what if he made a pass at you? So what if she always bats her eyes at you and cries on your shoulder. So what if you were drunk. <strong>They are off limits</strong>. I feel people do things like this to achieve jealousy as a reaction. But little do you know, the friend you&#8217;re stabbing in the back will never trust you again. The ex usually ends up feeling betrayed and see you in a different light. Is your reputation worth all that? It&#8217;s bad enough you got your ex running around telling people about your relationship. So now he/she can add &#8220;slut&#8221; to that equation. Would you want your ex best-friend telling everyone &#8220;That bitch tried to fuck my man&#8221;?</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve experienced a friend (more than once) making inappropriate comments about a man I was interested in or went on a date with before. I&#8217;ll laughed it off but in the back of my mind, I got my eye on them. If I see a pattern, that&#8217;s when I will pull her to the side and tell her how I feel. I think most of us have experienced that. Where your friend&#8217;s intentions with someone you have interest in is questionable. I&#8217;m not sure what causes these things to happen. I can easily blame it on insecurity or their lack of class and self-respect. One thing I <strong>do</strong> know for sure is that may be a sign towards the beginning of a doomed friendship.</p>
<p>The only thing I can advise is to take heed and keep your eyes open. If the unthinkable actually do happen, you have all right to let that friend go.
