Use tw=76 instead.  I'd also set your ts=4 sw=4 et ai (tabstop=4
shiftwidth=4 expandtab -- use spaces instead of tabs -- and
autoindent).

Another nice trick with vim is the use of 'gq}' while in command mode,
which is short for re-wrap paragraph up to the next open block.  You
can do line by line with 'gq<RET>' and then repeat it with '.'.

Welcome to the masses, my young Vedi. (Oh, bad pun.  No biscuit for
me.)
