WTFd

As in What-The-Falsified-documents. Because seriously, how old does this kid look (ok the formatting kind of sucks...and the link for some reason is taking me to the wrong picture, the right one is the one before the barton one...but you can kind of see him still here):

The Oakland Athletics Jemile Weeks made a throw to first ... Brant Ward / The Chronicle

Jemile Weeks is, if I am not mistaken, a year or two older than me. He looks like...14 max in that picture. Which got me to thinking, its kind of funny how in little league baseball age fraud is always to get older kids onto younger teams, but at the pro level it is always to make players seem younger than they are. Anyway just thought that was kind of amusing, probably just this picture, but Weeks does look really young here. On a completely different note...

Counting cards is hella fun. We had casino night for on campus residents tonight, had two friends dealing, so I spent about 3 hours playing blackjack. Made a ton of money (well, fake money)! but that was probably more to do with my dealer constantly giving me amazing cards. Wasn't cheating though! Well, once I cheated, but all the other times it was either me getting lucky or actually making a smart decision because I was eventually getting the hang of the whole card counting thing. It isn't as easy as it sounds, was really floundering for a while, but after like an hour or so of practice I was starting to get the hang of it, was really pretty fun. Random luck is always fun, but if there is some sort of process behind the luck, it just makes the game that much more fun.
