Lots and Lots of Cows

Cows

Thanks to everyone who participated in our teleconference last night.  It was an awesome conversation, and I really think it can be the start of something big.  If any other readers are interested in doing a teleconference and talking about either Asian American activism or web/print stuff, let me know, and I’ll contact you the next time around. (#$%^…I just forgot that minorTruths asked to be included, and I totally forgot.  This was a WOWO podcast rather than a 44s one, but that’s no excuse on my part.  Okay, so I guess I’ve got one on my list…)

So anyway, continuing at least part of theme of our discussion last night about first person narratives, you can see some of my life in the pictures I took while I was running yesterday after work.  The pictures are not the highest quality since it’s only a cell phone, but you can probably tell what it is.  Above is a picture of this huge field with grazing cows.  It’s about a fifteen minute jog away from my front door.  Below are pictures of the changing colors of the leaves (lots of road in the picture…in addition to being grainy, my camera phone also takes pictures very slowly, so I probably lowered the lens before it snapped):

And below there are more cows:

Is this activist related? It could be.  If physical health is related to the health of a culture or a group, then maybe I’m empowering my culture or group by being healthier.  Hey, they say Obama and Bush both exercise every day without fail.  The above three pictures are what I see whenever I exercise, unless, of course, it’s raining, in which case I’m inside of a gym and trying to lift heavy weights.  I may be gearing up for a long run next year in a big local event, and I may have to enlist the help of the Alpha Asian before I start training hard.

If you need my guidance, then we’ll have to do training by phone: “Keep up the pace, B! You’re doing good!”

Haha. James, Woody Allen once said that eighty percent of success is showing up. No wonder I have so much trouble getting in shape.

Good ol’ Oregon Farms.

If most of the area near you is farms, I think I’d find it prettier at night. Lol.

I opened this thinking I’d be reading more about cows. Than health, and the mag.

Jason,

The cows are further north. I don’t know if they come out at night, but next time you’re around here, we’ll check ‘em out during the day while we’re running for our health!
