Life long San Francisco Giants/49ers/Sacramento Kings fan living in Southern California after getting lost on a family trip to see Shamu in the early 90's. Currently the Editor of Around The Foghorn and A Royal Pain on the FanSided network in addition to writing on FanSided.com, all of which where I'm paid in gum. Yes, I was the one who shot 50 Cent nine times, and yes, it ain't no fun if the homies can't have none, especially when you don't include a unicorn in the festivities. Am I right, or am I right?
