Bellingham: Tyrell

Tyrell Johnson
Physical Specimen

"People are always saying he's deceptively quick, deceptively athletic, and I don't know if that's just because I'm Asian or what it is, but obviously there's going to be stereotypes that you have to fight." - Jeremy Lin

People undersell professional basketball player Jeremy Lins athleticism because of his race. Coincidentally, people undersell Tyrell's athleticism because he has the voice of an angel, the striking looks of a Gap Young Adults model and the comedic timing of someone who is funny because of their comedic timing. Make no mistake, Tyrell is athletic. He sprints like a graceful gazelle being chased by a ravenous mountain lion, jumps like a kangaroo out for his daily pounce-about, and throws objects of much mass and weight distances only steroid abusing meatheads achieve. And he does all this with the beard of a wise old man. The Olympics called and said "show us why Tyrell should be invited to London". Good luck turning this down, Olympics.

Bellingham: Room with a View

Forest Ridge
April 14 . 2012

I happened upon this view by accident. Or if you believe everything happens for a reason, I happened upon this view for a reason. I was there for about 20 minutes. For about half of that twenty minutes I was calculating in my head how much I thought the houses that shared this view were valued at. The point of this exercise was to determine whether or not I could ever afford to purchase a house with a view such as this. A realist would point out that I have no idea what my future earnings will be and thus have no idea whether or not future Kile could ever afford a house on this hill. The realist makes a valid point. Realists are no fun.
