My Perception - "Lite"

I'm Brian A. Maloney and I approve this message.



You are use to this:

Religion
Global Warming
SCHIP
Healthcare
The Church
State Level Politics

Lately, all you've been getting is this:

Fantasy Football
The Last 5


I know, I know. It has been v-e-r-y boring here at My Perception lately. Fantasy Football and random lists of stuff is all I've done in the last month or so.

"Brian, you didn't even give us a Happy Thanksgiving!"

August, September and October were like gang busters for me. Something to say or type almost everyday. I produced a total of 59 posts those months. Take the rest of the year combined, including November and this post and it totals...59. I was on a roll. But lately, it's been MP - Lite (and I hate Lite Beer, literally hate it, "Tastes Great!" "Less Filling!" BLEH!!!). It's been MP - Lite and I know it. I've almost done it purposely.

But there's a reason behind it all.

Myself.

My perception has changed. Not the blog, but my actual perception of things (notice the small p not the Big P). I've really felt the movement of the Spirit in me in terms of what I have been focusing my time and efforts on lately. And basically, it hasn't been the Spirit. It's hasn't been Jesus, the Gospel, or his Church. It's been on my perception.

I'm not trying to get cathartic all of sudden, or confessional, or make a proclamation the blog is getting shutdown, or I'm moving it or changing it's name or anything like that. No, I'm not going to make a "private" blog where only select people will receive an email from me to join it. I'm just saying things are going to change right here at MP. And I'm not even sure how sudden or drastic that change will be. I'll still provide the sports (fantasy and real) and still eat up 15 minutes of your day you'll never get back every Wednesday with my Self-Award Winning "The Last 5 Posts." I'll still rant and rave and appear to be a stubborn, bull-headed, confrontational person hiding behind a laptop computer. But things may change, no, they will change.

I've already begun work on it. And so far, I'm up to a 3 part series on politics and my affiliation with them. I've also began work on another series called "Detach and Attach" which has stemmed from the politics one and from some other discussions over time bewteen me and all you readers here at MP and at other blogs listed to your right. I'm not really sure when I am going to start roling all of these out. Tomorrow? Today? Next week? Next Month?

I'm not sure.

I also have 4 or 5 other ideas and posts rolling around on the Blogger Dashboard and in my head. Some I have mentioned before (Happiness, Why Pro-Life matters, etc.) others just because (Aliens and The Mothman, New Religions, etc.) and others will look all too familiar (the farce that is global warming, just this side of Libertarian fiscal policies and attitude on the government, and quit being a baby about Church) but I am just waiting for the "appropriate" time to roll them out. Who knows when that will be.

Regardless of all this banter and meandering, MP-Lite will be ending soon. And while the posts will probably get a little farther apart and come out in made for TV format or as a "series" I think you'll see somewhat of a subject matter change but the content should be a lot more deeper than just Fantasy Football.

So stay tuned, please.

I read every one of your posts -- even the fantasy football posts that I don't really understand. I value you, and I look forward to your opinions. I'd rather listen to what you have to say, knowing they're genuine thoughts, than to listen to cookie-cutter responses that merely agree with everything and everyone. Keep 'em coming. You keep me thinking.

Thanks Gary.

Also, I read where Corey wrote I was ashamed for my "Lite" content recently.

I wouldn't say ashamed. Because I knew what I was doing.

I think, or am anticipating that when I finally roll out this conservative christian confessional series posts things could heat up for our continuing discussion.

However, in the past I have thought the same, only to get nothing.

Regardless, I press on.

Thanks agains for support G-Dawg
