The Blog of Jared Head
I’d like to think I’m a part of a new generation of great writers; maybe spark a revolution in the authorial world. I’m young, so there’s plenty of time.

Finish
Will it ever end?
That’s a question I ask myself on a near nightly basis. I’m not sure what my problem is. Has the fun of writing this short novel worn itself thin or am I just stalling to try and continue this experience that has changed me for the better forever.
It really has. I’ve changed [...]
Jesus Dude – Round 1
There’s this guy who is in my Astronomy class at college. He is very religious, and I only know this because he think’s it’s absolutely necessary to ram whatever Jesus-based religion he believes in down my throat like some kind of stomach-based enema. Mind you there are a lot of faiths based on Jesus, so [...]
Overheard at the College – Take 3
“I’ve had so much sex with girls that I’ve moved on to guys.”
I can’t think of anything wittier to top that.
Fears
1) The Dark – I don’t know whether with me to call it a fear of the dark or just a general uneasiness in darkness. As a kid bedtime was terrifying for me and it took something that generated background noise to finally lull me to sleep. This is something that I still have today, [...]
Overheard at the College – Take 2
“I walk in and his fist was at least three-quarters of the way up her ass. I’ve learned my lesson: knock on the door and don’t fall asleep around him.”
Humanity has a future.
Mid-Century Modern
During discussions today a friend and I came to the conclusion that the art movement known as Mid-Century Modernism (my favorite) has almost no pretentiousness to be found within. My explination was long, drawn out, and something rather Harold Bloom-ish.
His was much better with its short, concise reasoning and sounds even better when spoken:
“That’s because all the [...]
Get A Flu Shot
My absence over the past few days is attributed to catching the flu.
My advice: Get a flu shot.
Get It Done
That’s my goal for tonight: finish this fucking novel.
I’ve had about 6 Cokes, 2 Arnold Palmer’s, a individual alfredo chicken pizza and a full pizookie (Google it) with vanilla ice cream. If that doesn’t scream long haul I don’t know what to tell you folks.
It’s been a work in progress. What started as a NaNoWriMo idea [...]
Purple Prose
On a dark and stormy night, I was warned of its existence. Avoid if you can, satirize if you must.
But then again, isn’t it chicle cliche to avoid all the cliches?
Uh-oh, time to reconsider; amiright?
No, you’re wrong.
While I Play Unfitting Music
Ever have those moments when you’re working on something and the most unfitting, clashing kind of music comes on?
I’m sitting here writing about a car chase to gun battle in Downtown Long Beach while the theme to the video game Katamari Damacy (one of the few video games who’s music I enjoyed). Seriously, rolling things up with [...]
