Quotable:

“On my birthday when i was paying the bill for my dinner and drinks i gave the lady my credit card and i.d. and she said she didnt need it.  So the next day i went to a resteraunt and sat in the bar and they carded all my friends except me, even when i went to a club they didnt card me at all.  Its just seems different to me cause i feel like one of the best things about being 21 is when the people who works at a place dont think your 21 you get to whip out your i.d. and shove it back in there face.  Ill never get that chance cause everybody already thinks im 50.” – Greg Oden on his blog about turning 21
