my stepfather was a computer programmer to the bone. he was the kind of nerd who would buy whatever the latest PC operating system was with his own money and do his own troubleshooting.
I used to get on him for sitting in front of a computer all day.
All day?
ALL DAMN DAY.

Remember the BlackPlanet/MiGente days?
I had my lil MiGente page and I decided I wanted to spruce it up by attempting to code everything myself...
MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN LIIIIIIIIIISSSSTEEEN!!!!!!!!!!

I sat at my desk for SEVEN hours
typing in code and tweaking.

When I was done, I promptly got up, went into their (moms and stepdad's) room and apologized for like 10 minutes straight.
