all it took was me finding things in my life that matched my personality and that i loved doing...i am still scatterbrained, but isn't everyone?

anyone who falls into that adhd bullshit is a fucking idiot...sorry if I offended you, but this adhd "epidemic" is nothing more than pharmaceutical companies wanting money and doctors/parents wanting an EASY way out of dealing with children
Indeed. I also suspect that television and video games play a major part in it. How the hell is a kid supposed to sit still and listen to some boring teacher on Monday when he spent the entire weekend playing Halo 2? Your brain reacts to stimulation, and video games and TV constantly change what they're feeding your brain, every couple seconds. So, your brain is constantly in a state of hyper activity. No wonder kids can't sit still.

Rich's home cure for ADD/ADHD: 1 part hammer, 1 part television set.

Drugging kids to calm them down is far from a good solution. Our countries are turning into A Brave New World faster than Huxley could've ever imagined.
