I’m Krissi.

WHAT (or WHERE) is KRISSISSIPPI?

‘Krississippi’ is ‘The Fifty-First State of CONFUSION ™‘ because it represents my personal state of mind (pun on state) located in the land of my imagination.

Was that such a shock? To anyone who knows me it probably isn’t…

Who is Krissi?

To anyone wanting to know me, you might wonder if I’m totally beyond help, but before you have me locked away (or delete my RSS feed) let me give you the spin:

Aside from the tradition behind my use of the phrase “a state of confusion” (the name of my first Renegade BBS in 1996) saying “I’m confused…” means

I acknowledge and embrace that life is confusing.

What’s the meaning of life?

My reality is grounded in believing that living, while blindly grasping for the clarity to outsmart the confusion, is the meaning of life

Life = Confusion

Figuring out the Confusion = The Meaning of Life

I’m not afraid to admit I’m confused nor do I view it as life-limiting. I think “to be human is to be confused” and there’s no better way to be. If you know everything about everything, you learn nothing – but if you know only enough to realize that you’re confused, then the whole world becomes a brightly-colored spinning playground of adventure, the best amusement park ever built, and the silliest funhouse you’ve ever been in.

So, you’re OK being confused?

I’m here to live my life, try to figure out the confusion, and have fun doing it. That’s basically my story, and yes I’m perfectly happy in my own confusion. Wanna join me?

P.S. I don’t currently live in, nor have I ever lived in (or even visited) the US state ‘Mississippi’. If you can’t figure out that ‘Krississippi’ is word play on my name, then, well, you’re simply CONFUSED.

THIS IS (part of) MY STORY….

…about one geek’s life: A woman who is self-assured, but still sometimes feels like a girl. A human being who is not perfect nor lacking, confident, but sometimes reserved, outwardly courageous, but introspectively unsure. Someone who strives to lead, but sometimes follows, is happy-go-lucky, yet deep in thought, tough but emotionally fragile. A person comfortable in her own skin, but sometimes uncomfortable in society’s, and who just wants to be herself in this brief period called ‘life’ and to find others to share the wonderfully confused journey down a path less traveled.
