"why are you so obsessed with me?"
8.28.2009
i get an AMAZING amount of support from a lot of people, whom iv never had the pleasure of meeting, and probably never will. i get emails daily as well as comments on my blog and/or tweets from people who tune into my aimless journaling-which i never thought would be read by so many people, giving me kudos and just general encouragement. i am forever grateful and thankful for peoples open minds, which i am not trying to change, just enlighten.
on the flip side..when does a natural interest turn into a daily habit, and then a guilty pleasure, and eventually turning into an obsession? when do we start having control over the urge to be fixated on something that we later feel guilty for indulging in? or controlling the obsession of being destructive or malice. not to say that the people who SUPPORT me are obsessed at all..but i am speaking of the people who indirectly support me with their anonymous foot traffic on my blog, leaving comments that are more like attacks, rather than "differences" in opinion.
Passion is a positive obsession. Obsession is a negative passion.
the internet (the NEW home of the brave) has become a cowards playground. a place where anyone can assume an identity and feel free to release anything that internally disturbs them without having the retribution of argument, or looking miserable or angry. unfortunately my blog has fallen victim to unhappy people who's guilty pleasure, being my blog, has turned into some kind of phantom fetish-which allows people who dislike strippers, strip clubs etc, to vent via my site about how disgusting and awful it is that i dance, without disclosing their identity OR ever having to convey this to me face to face. and i can always respect an opinion and/or a belief, religious or not, what i can not understand is the freak ass obsession that comes with being "anti-brook". if you dislike what i do, which leads you to dislike me, why do you tune in? why do you subject yourself to a lifestyle that infuriates you so much that you leave nasty comments of judgement?
while most people would call this "hate" or my "hater(s)", i disagree. i do not think this is hate. i think that this is borderline stalking. to pursue someone, indirect or not..daily, or consistently, even in a negative way, is to stalk them and/or prey on them. stalking is a crime of passion. not hate. and god bless anyone who finds enough time in their day to feel passionate about someone they dont even know. when does this turn into an obsession? when you feel moved to actually comment..with anonymity, trying to get some kind of response from the person that you have been paying attention to..secretly. you tell a friend about this stripper bitch who has the nerve to not be ashamed. your mad. i evoke emotion in you. the person whom site you wont leave alone. that means your obsessed. dont let my site dominate your day, its ridiculous to support me with negativity, it will just empower me.
i personally do not indulge in anything or anyone that turns me off. so it is beyond me why people put in the effort of fake twitter pages/myspace pages, negative comments left by the ghosting anonymous obsessors. it almost seems like it would drain the life out of you to put so much energy into something-that by no means, has shit to do with you. i have nothing but empathy for the people who have brought so much negativity to my blog because they are either unhappy or too afraid to have their own opinion. as you can see, i am the opposite. i back my opinion and my choice to strip, everyday-with a blog, a face, and no apologies. and your STILL mad.
my passion is not stripping, it is writing. and i write about whatever i want, including but not limited to strip. dont let your passion turn into something that attacks another. disagreeing with what i do just puts you in the masses, your not alone, and that in no way offends, moves, or scares me. so why be afraid to be who you are, when there are so many like you. trust me, it takes a lot more courage for me to be who i am, with so many against me. those who take shots, and then hide their hands, are weaker than me, so i wont pick on you. please turn the channel, im a stripper, bitch, lol, and honestly i do not think that i or anyone else can stop someone elses raging intensity. the only cure for obsession, is to find another one. so, for all the folks who like to be anonymous aggressors on social networks, you may want to redirect your anger and hug it out with your parents. some how, along the way, some l-ve is greatly missing. thank you to all supporters, those who openly appreciate me and the closeted ones as well, who only come out to be negative. judging me so much, leave less time to l-ve me. :o]

Girl, I'll tell you what...these anonymous readers/followers/haters are a member of some cult that we're not aware of. Their main objective is to latch on to someone like a leach and attempt to suck the life out of them with their hateful bullshit and ignorant comments.
My thing is...if a person is able to attack you for something that you've already disclosed, what type of entertainment are they getting out of it? Maybe I'm operating from under a rock but hell, if I wanted to insult someone, I'd have to find SOMETHING other than what they've outed themselves about already. It's just no good.
Also, IMO, you don't have to justify what it is that you do, how you act, speak, think or feel to ANYBODY! If they have such a problem with everything that is Brook, send them a link to your Paypal account and tell those hos to CHIP IN to "got-damn-you-so-worried-about-brook-that-you-have-to-be-anonymous-and-hide-behind-a-computer-like-a-bitch" fund. that should get them to shut the fuck up REAL quick...
Love you Brook and oh you gon' meet me damn it! I'm coming to the trap! AND I'ma STILL mention your blog HA! :)

Brooky, you're still my favourite blogger/writer/entrepreneur/twitter/friend/sister/homegirl, and whatever positive pseudonyms I that best describes you. I loved this piece...I'm also glad that you don't let the negativity stop you from creating. Those minor bumps in the road can't and will not stop you from being the greatness that you are destined to be. Know that your fans/followers/fam/friends/compatriots "LOVE" and admire your dedication. Keep doing you babes and move forward and show them what "driven" is.
Congrats...early!!!
well said.
I wrote a blog on Anonymous Commenters last month because they irritate me so much.
(http://assertivewitwithatouchofsarcasm.blogspot.com/2009/08/anonymous-commenter.html)
I think the difference between your anonymous commenters and mine is that yours DO seem more stalker like; mine are people who just want to try their hand at being more sarcastic than myself without getting smashed on. Both are idiots in my opinion...
POW! I love it! Very well written. People spend too much time worrying about what someone else is doing! Excuse me, but don't you have your OWN LIFE?!?!?!
Tell em Brook...it's not a good look when you are obsessed with someone!
Kuddos Boo!
DAMN. . . that was very heart felt but a reminder to those that stalking or even being obsessed with someone else and what they do just because YOU can't live their lifestyle only makes you look foolish #noshade
BTW. everyone has a lil stripper in them ;-)
you truly are amazzzzing with your words...I'm Team Brook all the way baby!!!
Great blog! Generally the people that are obsessed with you want to be you or be more like you. It pisses them off that you have the courage to be who you are, straight with no chasers! Why be mad, be opinionated, shit be yourself and fuck everyone who has a problem with YOU BEING YOU!

Thank you for dedicating this long ass blog to me Brook. I must have pushed a button in that JD stripper post? Well like I said...get over it. Opinions are like assholes everybody has one. Do you expect everybody that posts on your blog to agree with you? And if you didn't want any anonymous posters you should disable it. All these ass kissers on your shit not telling you how they really feel. They are tired of your stupid stripping posts and want to see more from you. You have some talent, ill admit that but you are not using it to your best ability. Whatever, why do I even try...your life, your blog.
Brook, I would first like to say that I love how substantial your mind is. You can convey your feelings so vividly and concretely. I love it!
Back to the topic at hand; and here lies the problem with internet courage. I think that you are exactly right in that none of these anonymous people would say these things to you in person. All "hate" is based on jealousy and personal insecurities. I say, just continue doing what you're doing and laugh at/ignore them.
Kudos to you, Brook! Another great post!
anonymous.
dont flatter yourself. my blog dates back to august of 2008. since your a dedicated reader, you can archive my posts and comments and see that there were plenty anonymous comments left on the behalf of obsessive negative phantoms. you are one of many, you are not special. and just because people support my decision to do what i want with my life and my blog-doesnt make them ass kissers, it makes them non judgemental. i would tell you to try that on for size, but something tells me, it wouldnt fit you.
ay. for a stripper. you REAL SMART. j/k. seriously, i think the way you put words together is something serious. && yea it might be motivated by obsession but i think it all boils down to jealousy. Love it. Keep doin it, they r mad cuz they can't be as pretty, intelligent & as paid as you are.
I totally agree with Jia, Brook. You shouldn't have to explain shit to nobody but the fact that you're secure within yourself and open to share parts of your personal life with others just makes you more real and likeable and we haven't even met. I think people are just insecure with themselves and to make them feel secure they have to "attempt" to put you down, imitate you, but you just brush it off your shoulders.
And to the Anonymous person, if you really feel that way nobody's making you read her blog. Us "ass kissers" like what she has to say. how bout u show yourself!!
People kill me, keep doing what you do... I first found your blog thru a mutual friend. The next time I visited was because I heard someone mention that you had "the audacity to share your stripperisms" - and they seemed to be thoroughly offended but, when I asked why would they come to your site - they had no conclusive answer - and, what got me was I asked if they ever seen you dance they said "I mean I tipped her before" - so it just goes to show some B!tc#es are just dumb - and stupid is as stupid does.

KUDOS!!! Even though I recently started my blog, I still understand your point. I just can’t picture a person being so #lamebus (ish) to wanna dislike an unknown being via web?? But with all the criticism you know you’ve made you mark B/C you’ve attracted many haters/obsessed beings. Though most negative responses come anonymously, I’d bet my last over half of the comments come from the very same ppl. Ones who criticized post after post and yet still find time to read the next post. By all means they can vent and get whatever it is off of their chest BUT BUT BUT what good are they gaining from continuing to visit. Guessing they just wanna check in and make sure you’re still Living “YOUR” Life. I don’t call it Obsessed Brooke more like **ADDICTED**!!! Chow (22222)
I love your blog, and I love to read your Tweets, you're a stripper so what, its something you do, it does not define who you are. I love the way you write and express yourself! Blow kisses to your haters, they light that fire up your ass that makes you want to be better!
Work bish!~!
Loved the post!!!!
I heard a statement on NPR when Obama was on the campaign trail and the Repubs were getting their Faux news on. It was something to the effect of "the internet is for slandering people anonymously" in response to the lies being spread about Obama. Technically it's libel (not slander) if it's written but I got the point.
Too many people want to impart their morals on people that don't share their views. Sorry, but morals are subjective and everyone has different morals and different things that work for them. Now, there are some things that most people agree about. But nude dancing doesn't harm anyone.
A woman's body is a beautiful thing but Americans get so uptight about nudity. Leave the US and it's a non-issue. You can go to pubic pools in Europe and see women topless all over and it's normal.
As far as prostitution, porn, stripping etc. where is the harm? Unless someone is being forced to do something I just don't see the big deal. I don't pay for sex but if the next man does, that's his bi. What two consenting adults do is their business. Conservative people kill me, forcing their views on everyone else.
Beautiful blog love! Absolutely beautiful! I have had a couple of stalkers and I feel the same way you do. You have an amazing way with words doll. Keep it up!
I absolutly loved this piece. Very well put. I find you to be very insightful.
