Drak Birch

Drak Birch. Born Kalamazoo, '56. Confused, frightened and bullied, public school. Kalamazoo College, 1 year, dropped out; no foreign study, no U of M Engineering Program; stayed confused. Paper mill et other crap jobs. Poor (but never starving) metal artist (Thanks, Mom and Dad!). Always working with my hands, part-time armored combat unit until third knee blew out. Moved to Long Beach, CA; panelbeater on classic and show cars (personally ignored by Iaccoca). Missed most likely chance to spawn while stuck in Fresno. Throwing darts and throwing up. Back to Lahng Beech / crank, alcohol, and overwork. Finally got unconfused, moved home for love (Hi, Xen!). Diagnosed ADD at age of 43. Speaks Blasphemy, Heresy, and "Treason" with equal fluency. Planning to get even with Kalamazoo.
