Hi again, Matt --

Barrett explained to me this had something to do with a celebrity blog for NL.  What kind of clips would you like to see?  I have blog posts and published fiction.  For the sake of convenience,  I'll provide a few links to the blog posts.   But please do let me know if there's something else you need or would like to see:

http://proteinwisdom.com/?p=3240  (Robert Anton Smith Illuminati parody)

http://proteinwisdom.com/?p=2229 (Conan-Doyle Sherlock Holmes parody)

http://proteinwisdom.com/?s=Anna+Nicole+Smith&paged=2  (ANSmith holiday greeting cards)

http://proteinwisdom.com/?cat=16 (Martha Stewart prison diaries)

http://proteinwisdom.com/?cat=14 (red pills series)

http://proteinwisdom.com/?cat=7 ("interviews")

My background:  I taught lit, writing, and argument at Denver University, where I was a member of their PhD program in creative writing.   Won a couple of awards for short fiction.  "Retired" from teaching when my son was born so that I could stay home and play with him. Plus, no more grading papers written in a language that only superficially resembled  the English I was taught as a young Jewish boy struggling to make my way in the wilds of  suburban Baltimore County, MD.


Best,
Jeff

Is this a request to be a writer? If so, send me some clips and I'd be happy to consider.

Hi, Matt --

Barrett Brown suggested I email you regarding the NL website.  Unfortunately, he wasn't any more specific than that.  Which means that this email will have to serve as a kind of "Barrett Brown suggested I email Matt about the website, and now I have.  So, you know, that's that, I guess"-type email -- unless, of course, there is specific information you need from me going forward.

-- In which case, I'm more than happy to expand upon the content herein.

I can be reached at 303-934-5737 (home) and 303-667-3815 (cell).  Or if you'd like, I can give you a call.

Best, and look forward to hearing from you,

Jeff Goldstein
