Last night, went way up to the mountains after work, went to a rooftop party to watch fireworks, went camping in a beautiful place with friends, woke up at 4 am and watched a beautiful sunrise from the tent. And tomorrow-ish, a visit from New York friends!

I'm falling more and more in love with Colorado every day.

I hiked two more 14ers this week with a new friend

And I'm spending the 4th of July camping and watching fireworks in the mountains with my most intense friend-crushes ever.

I've reached every short term goal I set for myself before leaving New York.

It's a really amazing feeling.

I'm so madly in love with Colorado

Today was amazing. Absolutely amazing. Took a day trip to Fort Collins, went tubing down the Poudre River with some amazing friends and handled the rapids like a champ, drank some wine riverside and enjoyed a beautiful sunset drive home with good company and good music and the most amazing scenery. This is what I moved to Colorado for. And I'm JUST SO HAPPY.

Rocky Mountain National Park. The best part of living in Denver is getting to spend a random day off like this.

In the last week I went camping and hiking in beautiful Rocky Mountain National Park

Climbed my first 14er that included a lot of off trail hiking and scaling a really seriously steep gully

Took an hour long nap with a really good friend on the SUMMIT of said 14er in perfect weather with the most amazing scenery around us

Ate a million delicious meals, toured some really cool spots in the city, bar hopped to every gay venue in Denver, partied harder than I have in years, and did all of it with an absolutely amazing group of new friends who have already become really important to me, and who have proven to be some of the best people I've ever been lucky enough to grow close to

And in the next few days we have our weekly karaoke work party and I'm going whitewater rafting through the Rocky Mountains with a really great friend

I think this is going to be an amazing summer.

I successfully hiked my first 14er today.

Mount Evans from Guanella Pass.

This was one of the best days of my life.

In the last 24 hours

I got off of work yesterday afternoon and drove to Rocky Mountain national park, watched a whole bunch of elk graze in a field of wildflowers with the backdrop of the Rocky Mountains, drank wine on the shore of a beautiful lake at sunset, camped out, went for a sunrise hike of Flattop Mountain which was incredible, drove trail ridge road, made friends with some hippie hitchhikers, and now I'm back in Denver in time for work tomorrow. I love living in Colorado.

Thursdays

Aka Cody spends all week pretending he's not gonna do karaoke at the dive bar across from trader joes and still does karaoke at the dive bar across from trader joes. Because making a fool of yourself in front of new friends is okay if they do it with you. And because this bar gives a buy one get one free drink deal to trader joes employees.

Last night was amazing After work went out for a drink with all my friends. Then one friend and I biked 6 miles through the city (at about 2 am) along a river to an awesome spot with a beautiful view of the Denver skyline. I'm exhausted today but a whole bunch of my friends from home sent me an amazing card in the mail. I couldn't be happier. This is all I wanted.

I am here to remind all that Oberyn Martell, whilst being a sexy mo fo and loving paramour, also was smart as hell, forging SIX maester chains before he got FUCKING BORED and went on to form his own mercenary company. During this time he fathered a half dozen bastards, but instead of abandoning them, he took responsibility and raised them to defend themselves and allowed them all an independence most fathers in Westeros would never allow their children, let alone daughters. He was incredibly close to his sister and after her death attempted to raise the entire country of Dorne up around Viserys to overthrow Robert. Unable to do this, he never gave up the hope he’d one day avenge the atrocities committed against his sister and her children. In short, too much heart was always Oberyn’s problem.
