I remember myself, back in the day i was a fool.
I didn't had patience, i never read manuals, i could not appretiate beauty.
While suffering from chronic insomnia, a friend msg's me about a good C book.
And it happends. i start reading that C book @ the nights i could not sleep, i took advantage of my insomnia.
My whole life changed after that.
I read manuals, rfcs, file formats and protocols.
I read about memory, processors, filesystems, bootloaders
I suddenly became a knowledge freak.
Learned lisp and then Haskell (i owe that to /prog/ btw.)
Also, i started learning mathematics and physics.
And to imagine, all that started (and still is) as a hobby!
I started juggling early in the mornings (like 6 am) and generally exercising.
I participate in many open-source projects and i teach programming/mathematics/physics to many people i know in real life OR over the internet
Sure, i still have a shitjob; I still have no girlfriend due to being closed to myself and very anti social, but programming gave value to my life, and gave an end to those endless nights.

WHEN I WAS...
12 I wrote a viros that crashed 1607 computer systems causing a 9 point in the new york stock exchange. Then I was banned from using touch tone telephones and computers untill my 18th bday. But then when I was 18 I fucking haxored the gibson with my cool haxor friends and then got a date with the one chick.

Someone laced it with PCP. Try a different dealer or growing your own. If that doesn't work, just get some Xanax. hard withdrawal, that Xanax, though.

I got it in the fucking boondocks I don't think you can even get PCP where I was.
And it happened 2/4 times. I think my brain is just messed up.
