Stalking Quote Blog - GBE 47

Stalking is a scary subject; not one to be joked about. Although, as you'll see from some of the following quotes, it occasionally is. And most of the time, it is in good taste. It was unusual this time, but I found more song lyrics on this subject than I did quotes from famous people.


Merriam-Webster defines stalking as:

Main Entry: 2 stalk
Function: verb
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English bestealcian; akin to Old English stelan to steal — more at steal
Date:14th century intransitive verb 1 : to pursue quarry or prey stealthily 2 : to walk stiffly or haughtily transitive verb 1 : to pursue by stalking 2 : to go through (an area) in search of prey or quarry (stalk the woods for deer) 3 : to pursue obsessively and to the point of harassment — stalk•er noun



"Stalking takes many forms. Stalkers can physically follow their victims. They can use phones, the U.S. Postal Service, couriers, and even florists to track and pressure their prey. Stalkers can also bombard their victims with instant messages, photograph them with hidden cameras, install surveillance software on their computers, and use global positioning systems (GPS) to track them in their cars. But no matter what tools they use, stalkers are still stalkers." * * © Stalking Resource Center, 2003









"Bush said today he is being stalked. He said wherever he goes, people are following him. Finally, someone told him, 'Psst. That's the Secret Service." ~ Jay Leno









"We were watched. I didn't see anything, I felt it, in my stomach. I was a toad on a wet rock. A snake was looking at my back." ~ John Paxton









"You know, I have guys that are almost stalkers... it is very strange. I had this one guy that e-mailed me off my site, and thought we were boyfriend and girlfriend. He then came to my house in London, I do not know how he found it."
~ Caprice Bourret









"But I do know people that have stalkers and it's not nice." ~ Daniel Craig









"There's people that figure if they hang out with you, all of a sudden they're going to be successes. I've had two or three stalkers in my life." ~ Dustin Diamond









"There is a fine line between serendipity and stalking." ~ David Coleman









"The hardest thing to believe about The Fan is not that Robert De Niro is stalking somebody again but that anyone cares that much about a baseball player." ~ Bernie Lincicome









"Are you stalking me? Because that would be super."
~ Ryan Reynolds









"I stalk about her door like a strange soul upon the Stygian banks staying for wattage." ~ William Shakespeare









"Your actions will be with me the rest of my life – how I will be constantly observing, looking over my shoulder. You will never be famous, you will never be infamous, you are just a criminal." ~ Catherine Zeta-Jones in court facing her stalker









"Every move you make. Every vow you break. Every smile you fake, every claim you stake, I'll be watching you." ~ Every Breath You Take ~ The Police ~ Sting









"I see the man around the corner waiting, Can he see me? I close my eyes and wait to hear the sound of someone screaming here." ~ No More Tears ~ Ozzy Osbourne









"My fantasy has turned to madness. All my goodness has turned to badness. My need to possess you has consumed my soul. My life is trembling, I have no control." ~ Obsession ~ Animotion ~ Michael Des Barres and Holly Knight









"You're all I need, make you only mine
(I loved you)
So I set you free
I had to take your life


(You're all I need)
You're all I need
And I loved you so
But you didn't love me


Laid out cold
Now we're both alone
But killing you helped me keep you home
I guess it was bad
'Cause love can be sad
But we finally made the news"
~ You're All I Need ~ Mötley Crüe ~ Nikki Sixx









One way or another, I'm gonna find ya. I'm gonna getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha. One way or another, I'm gonna win ya. I'm gonna getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha. One way or another, I'm gonna see ya. I'm gonna meetcha, meetcha, meetcha, meetcha. One day, maybe next week, I'm gonna meetcha. I'm gonna meetcha, I'll meetcha. ~ One Way or Another ~ Blondie ~ Debbie Harry and Nigel Harrison

I do not really like vacations. I much prefer an occasional day off when I do not feel like working.

And then the fight started.....

Category: Life

When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her someplace expensive....Sooo, I took her to a gas station.....And then the fight started....

**************************************************************


After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's license to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home.I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'.So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair.She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application. When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability, too' And then the fight started.....

************************************************************


My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table. My wife asked, 'Do you know her?''Yes,' I sighed, 'she's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since.' 'My God!' says my wife, 'Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?' And then the fight started.....

************************************************************

I rear-ended a car this morning. So, there we were alongside the road and slowly the other driver got out of his car. You know how sometimes you just get soooo stressed and little things just seem funny? Yeah, well I couldn't believe it.... he was a DWARF!!! He stormed over to my car, looked up at me, and shouted, 'I AM NOT HAPPY!!!' So, I looked down at him and said, 'Well, then which one are you?' And then the fight started.....

Cheating (GBE 45)

Last week, the subject was Independence. I participated for the first time and did my blog in a format that was comfortable to me. It was well received, and just like people who do poetry blogs or music blogs, I think quote blogs will become my thing. Cheating is defined as many things. As a transitive verb: 1: to deprive of something valuable by the use of deceit or fraud, 2: to influence or lead by deceit, trick, or artifice, 3: to elude or thwart by or as if by outwitting. As an intransitive verb: 1 a: to practice fraud or trickery b: to violate rules dishonestly (cheat at cards) (cheating on a test), 2: to be sexually unfaithful —usually used with on (was cheating on his wife). So I have gathered quotes from songs and from people, along with pictures. I hope you enjoy.

~ Integrity is not a conditional word. It doesn't blow in the wind or change with the weather. It is your inner image of yourself, and if you look in there and see a man who won't cheat, then you know he never will. ~ John D. MacDonald









~ Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something. ~ Henry David Thoreau









~ Children are the most desirable opponents at scrabble as they are both easy to beat and fun to cheat. ~ Fran Lebowitz
