I'm Batman

About Me

"Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it." - John Lennon
I cannot wait until I am famous because I will have a PR person write this "about me" section. She will fill it with exaggerated truths about how great a writer I am and tell you that my life has been one struggle after another. She will throw in that my inspirations are "so and so" but remind you that I stay true to my own sensiblities. She will tell you that I am a unique young man that echoes the voice of John Lennon yet remains modern in his political activism. She will remind you that all work on this page is the intellectual property of E.E. Jacobsen (Benjamin Lake) and is protected under the copyright laws of these United States. However, she will tell you that use of these works are permitted only with the permission of the author with full credit given for non profit use. She will be a double speak artist that will make you buy ten copies of every book I ever write.
Then you'll ask me. I'll just tell you I am a simple man in my twenties who loves peace and art.
