Wedding Season-EP

-

I'm a music lover...a real music lover. I create playlists based on mood and I can remember my exact mood based on the playlist. I'm not a music critic because I don't think it's fair to dissect another person's work; either I like it or I don't. I usually don't blog about music but earlier today, I saw a post from Micah Schaffer informing people that he released Wedding Season-EP to celebrate his birthday and his wedding anniversary. I've always followed his music and his posts on social media are always fair, focused and faith-filled. Through social media, I saw snippets of his journey down the aisle and I want to take this opportunity to wish him and his beautiful wife, Lenore, a Happy Anniversary. In the song, "The Story of Love" Schaffer proclaimed "Lord willing, if the creek don't rise, let the first 10 be on the high." Based on the Wedding Season-EP which is essentially an journey of love, I'm sure they will have a life time of highs.

I'm always proud of Lumberton natives that pursue their dreams. Wedding Season-EP is an ode to love. It wasn't until looking at other posts that I realized Schaffer penned "Something Sweet" before meeting his wife. The song gives us faith that we can and will find our good thing if we truly trust and believe in the promises of God. "Something Sweet" is a song that will make you want to ride a tandem bicycle with the love of our life on your way to a perfectly executed picnic on a spring day. It's just that romantic.

I know I started at the end of the EP but don't think Wedding Season is just fluff. As soon as the music starts to play, "Goals" draw you in with it's hypnotic beats and the lyrics are pure dopeness. I was hooked when I heard " Godliness gotta be the focus.." It's a very positive track and it lays out the blueprint for having the things you want in life. I was still vibing as "Thinking About You" played. Schaffer has a talent for putting together lyrics and harmonies that allow your mind to drift and think of the world of possibilities. And just when you don't think Wedding Season is going to get better, the song "Better" relaxes your mind even further. I just want to warn you, this song will be stuck in your head for days after hearing it. Then there's "The Story of Love". It's a continuation of the journey of love. The entire EP is a lyrical journey of a man's quest for love and finding that love that will endure the test of time. This is the perfect EP for the end of Summer. Every song reminds you of the best part of love; the part when you realize what's happening, how you're feeling and what it really, truly means for your life. If you haven't downloaded the Wedding Season-EP, you should do so now because it will earn a spot in your heart and your playlist forever.

FY Budget 2015: Pills and Potions

-
Image
I called this post the pills and potions edition because after looking at the budget that was presented; it's obvious this board is overdosing on something. I can't tell where any real cuts were made to the budget; it seems the same. The fact that the board paid Richard Rose $1, 600 to prepare this budget is a joke. Why do we have a city clerk if she cannot prepare a budget? What is she doing all day other than reading the Lumberton Informer or thinking of her next lie? The board claimed that Richard Rose was doing this out of the goodness of his heart, that he knew the City of Lumberton was not in a position to pay him. So, rather than charging the normal going rate for an embattled city manager that was allegedly terminated for not reporting to work and other matters; Rose decided he will charge the fiscally challenged City of Lumberton a mere $1,600 and a motorcycle. Now, keep in mind, the board never voted to hire Richard Rose but somehow, he received a check and a moto...

Kim Rogers: A Phenomenal Woman

I've always said that I don't offer balance throughout this blog. It seems that most of the focus is placed on the bad things or more gossipy topics, but I think today is a good day to give credit where credit is due. I know she don't do what she do for attention or accolades but I would like to tip my hat to Mrs. Kim Rogers, founder of the KeKe B Foundation. Kim, like many other women of our community, is a testament to the power of hop, courage and resilience of a loving mother. I don't know how she does it but she has chosen to take a stand when others would have buckled under pressure. Her dedication and courage has touched so many people in so many ways. The work she's doing through the KeKe B Foundation will be a beacon for many generations to come and the she many never realize the impact her courage has made in the lives of others. But despite it all, she is still pressing forward. Kim does not want another parent to experience what she had to experience ...

Stealing Elections: Lumberton Style

-

Last night when I went to the Ben Barrett Voting Center to watch the counting of the vote, I entered the building about 10 minutes before the polls closed and the picture above is what I saw. Throughout the day, many people expressed their concerns that the poll workers didn't match the demographics of the City of Lumberton. I shrugged it off after someone texted me, assuring me that the election was going to be fair. Well, that was not the case. Later in the day, a voter came to me with evidence that the votes had been compromised. They gave me two torn affidavit ballots that were torn up and thrown in the trash in the women's restroom at the voting center. Interesting. There was another person that came to me about the conversation they overheard between Cora Rogers and her mother, Voncile Richardson. It seems that Ms. Voncile wanted to cast a vote for me but her daughter, Cora Rogers, instructed her to mark the ballot for Kent Crider. Interesting. Last ...
