Send Me - Army tribute

Send Me

And the latest victim of the recession is...

...me. I was laid off from my job at Midwest Connector Co. today, as the business has been struggling badly for the past few months. This is a sad thing, especially since I'm enrolled at UC at the moment, so my ability to find employment of a similar caliber and flexibility is somewhat limited.

If you want to hire me as a photographer, that would be awesome and I'm sure we can get something worked out. Leave a comment here letting me know what you have in mind (event, portrait, etc.), or send me an email: rogersj3 @ gmail.com (without the spaces, spam prevention measure).

Happy recession,
James

Survivor? Really??

I just received this email from campus security. Usually these messages are to alert the UC community that someone got their stuff jacked or got mugged walking home, off campus, in the middle of the night - in short, for stupid and preventable things. This, however, takes the cake:

On April 14, University of Cincinnati Police received a report of an inappropriate touching incident that occurred on Friday, April 3. The survivor reports that she was sleeping in her bed when the suspect, an invited guest, inappropriately touched her several times. The police and the Sexual Assault Response Coordinator (SARC) are working with the survivor as she decides on the next steps to take.

The University of Cincinnati's Sexual Offense Response Team (SORT) regularly informs the community...yadda, yadda, yadda.

Can one really claim to have survived being "touched several times?" Is that really a life threatening situation? Not to mitigate the justified sense of violation, but to call someone a survivor who invited another back to their domicile only to discover that 'whoops! - he's a cad with no moral compass!' is a little ridiculous.

Nothing in the cry
of cicadas suggests they
are about to die

Tomorrow

A distracted mind
Wonders as it dozes off
What tomorrow holds

So I spent some more $$$ that I don't really have...

...but now I have this:
ebook
Bonus: the snazzy leather case it is in has these little magnets in the corners, so it stays closed and - consequently I hope - not scratched up.

The morning glories
bloom, securing the gate
in the old fence

Something Golden

I look down on you
But I'll still help you to see
That which was hidden
