What now?

To whom it may concern... I am 25 years old, no job, still live with my parents and oh yeah I am a registered felon in the state of Pennsylvania. But more on that later. I have always loved making websites and was always a bit above average when it came to computers (which is nothing compared to what people actually do these days). I currently work with the usual web developers toolkit (js, php, ruby, mysql) but have found other languages and development methods come easy to me. After high school I decided that dealing drugs would be the best option for me. Unfortunately that wasn't the smartest idea. With that aside, I have served my time and have come to realize how many people love me and really care about seeing me succeed in my life. I want to show them that I can but also follow my dream at the same time. I dabble in a little bit of everything... which is my problem. I can't stay focused on one thing. There is so much to learn and think about when actually making something as simple as a website come together and actually work. My questions are about my felony and what you think I should do... should I just give up and become a janitor or pursue my dreams of freelancing and eventually being a part of a company when I do have a respectable portfolio to show, and my second question is how would I bring it up in a job interview whether it be for a freelance client or a potential employer?
