So I went to Thunder Valley Casino the other night. First time ever at a casino, however, there was no gambling and I actually didn't go inside the casino. We were across the street at the outdoor amphitheater. I thought it would be fun to take my mom and aunt to see Gabriel Iglesias. Boy, was I beyond right. Not only was it Gabriel Iglesias, but it was a bunch of comics from Comedy Centrals Stand Up Revolution. It was the best night I have had in so long, I have no words. Thank you to my mom and aunt for coming along on this wonderful little trip and I can't wait to do it again next year.
(Once the show started pictures were absolutely NOT allowed. Gabe did all new material and asked out of respect for none of it to be recorded in any way until the special comes out. So all I have are a few pics from right before.)
(Martine walked by me two times and I couldn't help myself but yell out, "Martiiiiinnnneee!")
And of course I can't share any of these pictures because my phone is a piece of shit and I have yet to figure out how to get them from the phone to the computer. I swear, my "dumb" phone is so much easier to operate then my supposed "smart" phone.
Suffice it to say, pics to come later!

Photography Day Twenty-Three... In the Dark.
Today is supposed to be a picture taken at night. I recently bought a new phone and for some reason it has night vision. When I get really bored at night I take random pictures to pass the time. I really amused myself with this picture so I hope you also find it amusing. Hell, I'm an only child so amusing myself comes pretty easy to me...
I have a batman magnet that just happened to be sitting on the floor. Oh what fun...

Photography Day Five... What lurks in the shadows...
First off I would like to say that I totally stole this picture. (via) I would have taken my own picture because taking a picture of a shadow really isn't that hard to come by, but when I saw this picture I couldn't help but use it for this days challenge. I hope y'all enjoy this picture as much as I do...

Puzzle Time...
They say the first three words you find are supposed to describe you.
My first three words were lust, secrets, and malice.
Interesting...

Day Eleven... (Song from Favorite Band)
My favorite band was Brooks and Dunn (surprise, surprise, I know), but since they have retired my new favorite band is Montgomery Gentry. The song I chose to represent my new boys is "All Night Long" by Montgomery Gentry. It's a fun, fast paced, loud, and very entertaining song. Plus, Charlie Daniels is featured in the song playing his bad ass fiddle, and in my opinion shit don't get much better than that.
All Night Long
"How long you think this party's gonna last...
...all night long."

Day Eight... (Funny Pic)
So I narrowed it down to two pictures. Obviously. This was another hard "day" because there are sooo many funny pictures that have been taken in my lifetime. My family is full of humor, and we definitely love capturing those moments.
The first picture is of my cousin Kristens "surfer boy watching chair". When we were in Capitola at the beach house my cousin would get up nice and early in the morning, go out back, sit on the chair, grab her binoculars and watch the hot surfer boys out in the water. It's a good memory of fun times in the summer, at the beach, and with family. Plus it's just funny that my cousin would have a specified chair for such viewing pleasure.
The second picture is of my dad back in the day. I think it's from the 70's, but I could be full of shit. If anyone knows my dad, you know that he lacks what my mom and I consider to be any sense of humor what-so-ever, so this picture is funny for so many reasons.
I hope you enjoyed my "funny" pictures...
...I know I sure do everytime I look at them.
