My brush with a 49er Great (True Story)
One day, our cousin had offered us tickets to go see the 49ers play at the now demolished
Candlestick Park. Being the huge 49ers fan that I am, I just couldn't pass up the opportunity
not to. Wearing my 49ers jersey, me and my Dad drove to Candlestick to watch them play.
After being patted down by security, we went inside just in time for the game to begin.
Little did I know that something amazing was about to happen.
We had gotten our seats and sat down when in the corner of my eye, I start seeing
policemen escorting someone around the stadium. I couldn't make out who it was.
All of a sudden they start walking up the aisle I was sitting in. Then that moment
I recognize who it was. It was 49ers legend Steve Young. Coming up my way and
walking past me, the only thing I could muster up was "I'm a big fan Steve."
Turning around to look at me, he smiled and said "Thanks". I was completely
starstruck when he spoke to me. The jersey I wore that day was of Steve Young's.
I learned later that they were going to retire his number at the game. Even though
they lost, it was a day I'll never forget.

Mall Job
If I had to work at a store in the mall, I'd work at a sports store. Since I like watching sports, I'd work restocking shelves and making sure the place was clean.

Labor Day weekend
What I did over the Labor Day weekend was going out with Courtney to The
Habit Burger Grill with her.
Me & Nick went out to Round 1, an arcade/ bowling alley in Sun Valley Mall.
Among the arcades, it includes pool tables and even karaoke rooms. I had fun looking
at all the different games including Mario Kart, DDR & arcade versions of mobile
games. Although I didn't eat a thing there, I hope to come back with my family
when my birthday rolls around.

Summer School Break
This is what took place during my summer break;
After having our bathroom remodeled, my family & I took a week long trip to Bodega Bay.
On the way there, an accident occurred and we got stuck in traffic for 45 minutes. Once
we started moving again, I was so relieved.
My family & I stayed in a cottage. While there we went down to the beach & went out
to eat at Lucas Wharf. We watched people go out to surf and some were fishing.
There was even a comic book shop I wanted to go to, but upon heading down there
it was closed (only open on weekends). So I was a bit bummed out.
We had planned going down to Monterey Fisherman's Wharf but due to the
wildfires in the area (Soberanes), we couldn't make the trip down there.
The following week, I went out to the movies & saw the new Suicide Squad film
(for review, see below). Me & my friend Nick went to Target & ate at In-n-Out across
the street.

The origin of my name
The name Steven was picked out by my Dad who just liked the name. I wasn't
named for anybody famous. I don't like it very much because I was teased alot
in high school due to the popularity of the Steve Urkel character on "Family Matters".
The origin of name comes from the Greek word meaning crown, honor & reward.
If I had to change my name to I'd change it to something cool like Logan, Hunter,
Chace or Cole.
