About Me

Writer and filmmaker and breaker of idols.Jake McGee is not well. Word has it he's a schizophrenic Jewish Leprechaun whose delusions have warped his fragile mind severely beyond the crudest level of human sanity, and it's only a matter of time before he suffers total Collapse.By virtue of his dementia, Jake knows no Box to look outside of, for his perceptual barriers are never more than feeble walls of dust, prone to flight at the slightest gust of Reality. Disgusted by Politics, yet deeply in love with Life, Jake is often misunderstood, for his point of view is His, and not the spawn of the many Conservative/Liberal-mutant ideologies swimming around the Mainstream.He welcomes scorn and ridicule, and enjoys when he is proven wrong, for that's just one more dose of Knowledge to help ease the Pain of Ignorance.[Bio from GET UNDERGROUND]
