Other kids went out and beat each other up or played baseball, and I built electronics.

We hung out on the streets, played stickball, and did all of the things that other kids did.

Kids get influenced by other kids.

I was the kid who was too geeky for the other kids.

It was endlessly entertaining, watching people beat each other up. All the little kids in the neighborhood would come and watch... and then we'd beat them up as well.

Other kids had more talent, but I was the most focused.
