Anderson, are you
sure you had a stalker?
Well, I don't mean
that in a bad way or anything - And I'm not saying that because I
believe you lack a certain celebrity status or anything.
It's just that
people who tend to be stalked seem to be more shallow than you and
indirectly end-up bringing it on because of their own wantonness of
fame, fortune and obsessive over exposure - whether they admit it or
not.
Thus, the stalkee
flaunts what they have and dangles their bait for people - not in
the sense of trying to invite stalkers but, rather, to try and
achieve a status of popularity.
Oh, please,
please, please - Allow me to interrupt myself here and explain why I
am qualified to go on here --- I don't claim to be an "expert" in
psychoanalysis, however, I do possess a certain credible
understanding of it and a natural instinctive "knack" for engaging
in its dynamics and using it for character studies for writing and
to "win friends and influence others" --- in which its application
has led to a certain successful status I've achieved in all I set
out to do --- Moreover, Wallace Fowlie (if you are not hip
enough to know just google him) a well known excepted authority
on poets, rebels French and Italian literature and psychoanalyst
(one of Duke Universities top experts in the field when he was alive
and there) identified the same navigational skills in me as in as
another great poet who possessed an intuitive genius for it. (My
meetings, conversations and friendship with Fowlie validated my
thinking and perception beyond ego).
Forthwith-standing, the stalkee typically exudes an outgoing or
public personality which makes them appear to "have it all" within
society as a whole or sociall settings the stalker admires. And,
definitely, the stalkee appears to “have allot more” than what the
stalkers has. The stalker is typically a dejected character -
someone lonely and unsuccessful and socially awkward. The stalker
obviously becomes obsessed with the stalkee and wants to consume the
stalkee - not because the "stalker" feels the world of the "stalkee"
elevates them but because they are merely obsessed, consumed and
confused about their own identity and wants to transfuse their own
identity with the stalkee.
And, here, I
object to the use of the word "elevate" that the expert-guest
Anderson Cooper invited on his segment on stalking the other evening
on 360 used in her take on the subject matter at hand. I object to
the word “elevate” being used in “her take” because that word now
has a better association with the path of enlightenment,
wondrousness, love, elation and becoming higher than it does with
anything negative. Let's reserve the use of "elevation" for poets
and rockstars and not media attention seeking "experts."
Bono’s song
"elevation" has the correct intent and modern day use. When he
speaks of the person in his song "elevating" him I'm sure it's not
in a the way the "expert-guest" used it on 360 - stating that the
stalker stalks to elevate their-selves. I'm sure Bono is not a
stalker and does not stalk women and then write about his experience
with that --- Henceforth, the elevation Bono is referring to that a
person gives to him is that in which the poet experiences with his
muse.
High, higher
than the sun
You shoot me from a gun I need you to elevate me here At the corner of your lips As the orbit of your hips Eclipse You elevate my soul I've got no self control Been living like a mole now Going down, excavation I and I, in the sky You make me feel like I can fly So high Elevation A star Lit up like a cigar Strung out like a guitar Maybe you can educate my mind Explain all these controls Can't sing but I've got soul The goal is elevation A mole Digging in a hole Digging up my soul now Going down, excavation I and I In the sky You make me feel like I can fly So high Elevation Love Lift me out of these blues Won't you tell me something true I believe in you A mole Digging in a hole Digging up my soul now Going down, excavation I and I In the sky You make me feel like I can fly So high Elevation Elevation Elevation Elevation Elevation Of course, the subject here can be someone Bono knows or does not know. But there I snothing “creepy.”
Here-within brings
about a difference between the subject of a poet and the
objectiveness of stalking.
The poet's subject
is surrounded by metaphors of love or metaphors used to describe the
process of being in love with the subject. It's generally a good
thing = healthy expressions of a light filled deepness – even if
sometimes there appears to be no light at the end of the tunnel.
The stalker goes
beyond subjectiveness and objectifies the stalkee and is lost in the
shallowness of objectiveness. There is no love, there is no light,
and there is no healthy expression. The stalkee is calculated, hard
and calloused and is more angular than circular. The stalker is
looking for angles to get in because the stalker is not inside the
circle (of popularity or love). The stalker is uncomfortable in
social situations that make them feel more alone when alone and
feels a need to transfuse their identity with the stalkee to be
comforted in the illusion of the stalkee's glamorous life and social
acceptance.
I hope this helps
in profiling stalkers.

of the Roses,
