Krispy Kreme Persuasion

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on December 29, 2002 by Kelli Jae BaeliDecember 29, 2002

So there was this whole big box of Krispy Kreme doughnuts on the counter. And she said she didn’t really care for custard filled doughnuts, and that’s what was left. That box was taking up lots of counter space, just to house that one custard filled doughnut. And it’s not like I’m not on my way to Wal-Mart to buy Metamucil and Slimfast. I have to do that because I have to fit my fat ass into some nice clothes for our relocation information trip to Eureka Springs in a couple weeks. And I can’t show up hoping to apply … Continue reading →

LP Wallpaper

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on November 16, 2002 by Kelli Jae BaeliNovember 16, 2002

When compact discs became the norm for music media in 1983, I was excited by it, the possibilities of them lasting longer, being easier to store and sounding better….but remember being so disappointed that the days of those large albums were coming to a close……once in an apartment in Oklahoma, i attached all my vinyl record collection to the wall with Funtac, corners touching, so there was this kind of checkerboard effect of the album covers…and when i wanted to listen to any music, i’d walk over to the wall and pull the disc out and put it on the … Continue reading →

Mind-Numbing Meaningless Morning

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on November 2, 2002 by Kelli Jae BaeliNovember 2, 2002

I sense that I am slipping into that space between the wall and the airbed. Instinctually, I shift to the middle of the twin space. I look at the clock, because I have to look at it. I need to know what time it is. I need to get my bearings, do the math, calculate how long I’ve been asleep. Let’s see… one-thirty seven. . . I went to sleep. . . when? I recall looking at the clock when I went to sleep, trying to memorize the numbers, so that I could do these calculations when I wake up. … Continue reading →

Alien Tummy Tuck

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on July 11, 2002 by Kelli Jae BaeliJuly 11, 2002

Just checking my hair. No apparent reason, just throwing a passing glance in the mirror on my way to turn on the shower, and saw some little blemish on my face. Closer inspection revealed nothing of consequence. But then i looked closer in the looking glass…(Alice never had a trip like that through the looking glass) closer…until i could see the pores on my skin, touch the bags under my eyes and saw how loose the skin was….my skin had become loose somewhere along the way. Not the skin of my 20’s,or even 30’s, but the skin of someone growing … Continue reading →

Quotes from Kelli Jae Baeli

....maybe your atheist friends feel frustrated and misunderstood by you, too. To me "religious" and "theist" are terms I consider pejorative, as do they, I surmise. There are plentiful and cogent reasons for that. There is religion, and then there is GOD--I am disgusted by both, even though GOD ceases to exist the second i reject RELIGION, as one cannot be divorced from the other, because GOD is a being invented by religious people who could not explain the world they lived in, and so manufactured an invisible being...nearly all religious thought stems from myth, (and the rest from human frailty) and myth stems from ignorance and delusion. Spirituality, in my view, is generally a coping mechanism for people who don't care for religion, per se. (And living staunchly in atheism can also cause depressive realism--when you see the world clearly as it really is, it can oppress the faint of heart.) Now, having said that, I have had and continue to have many experiences that might be called "spiritual", but I suspect it's for lack of better word. "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." I believe the Bard was right about that. But it doesn't mean it's about GOD, or religion. It's about those esoteric experiences for which we have no explanation---YET. I believe all things can eventually be explained in a rational way; that doesn't mean there aren't wonderfully mysterious things in this world. And the explanation for them does not detract from their value or wonder. Just because I can't explain them, doesn't mean I should default to "spirituality" or "religion" to give them meaning or veracity. For instance, the concepts of reincarnation and afterlife might be explained by membrane theory, and parallel universes...that's a scientific concept, but it would explain these sensations we have of knowing people before we know them, or having "memories" of other lives.... The bottom line, for me, is that religion has caused more harm, more suffering, and its tentacles reach into every aspect of what is broken in this world. And that is something I will never accept, and I will ALWAYS be angry about."

Politics Quotes

"People feel removed from sexism. 'I'm not a sexist, but I'm not a feminist.' They think there's this fuzzy middle ground. There's no fuzzy middle ground. You either believe that women are people or you don't. It's that simple." (Joss Whedon)

Favorite Quotes

“Dear Victor: Wow. That … really got out of hand. I’m sending this cat in as a peace offering. I forgive you for all the stuff you wrote on the walls about my sister, and I’m going to just ignore all the stuff you wrote about my “giant ass” (turn cat over for rest) because I love you and you need me. Who else loves you enough to send you notes written on cats? Nobody, that’s who. Also, I stapled a picture of us from our wedding day to the cat’s left leg. Don’t we look happy? We can be that way again. Just stop leaving wet towels on the floor. That’s all I ask. I’m low-maintenance that way. Also, this cat needs to go on a diet. I shouldn't be able to write this much on a cat and still have room left over.” ~ Jenny Lawson, Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir
