I’m Tired 2, by Q. Reyes – Artistic Warfare #104

Back in 2009 Massachusetts state senator Robert A. Hall published a letter saying he was tired, and then he went on ranting against Muslims and other people.  For a while, people spread the rumor that Bill Cosby wrote that letter, but that wasn’t the case. Well, I’m tired too, but about way different things. I’m [...]

Occupy What, Where, Why? by Q. Reyes – Artistic Warfare #103

It’s going down in Oakland.  Occupiers and police clash and things are not looking so good.  Last night’s protests got especially violent and the scene looked like something straight out of Lybia. Yet, even though the world is watching, our own domestic coverage of these events is sporadic and that keeps people like me from [...]

World’s Gay Fruits, Animals and Other Gay Things List, by Q. Reyes – Artistic Warfare #103

It’s pretty obvious that Mother Nature is constantly evolving; yet humans aren’t the only planet earth residents that have a gay populous.  Here’s list of fruits, animals and other gay things: FRUITS Bananas – probably the gayest fruit on the planet. Cucumbers – close second gay fruit. Pineapples – they taste good, but they hurt. [...]

Jesus Christ is a Tea Party Republican, by Q. Reyes – Artistic Warfare #102

Everyone knows Jesus does not believe in a woman’s right to choose.  He also does not believe in the separation of church and state.  Jesus would never, ever, ever, ever vote for a Democrat.  So why are so many Christians voting Democrat? Further, God does not believe in illegal immigration, that’s why he helped Moses [...]

Sexual Harassment Feels Good, by Q. Reyes – Artistic Warfare #101

I’ve been on a bit of a hiatus, but I’m back on the 101.  This break has proven to me that life goes one, with or without you.  Every night I close my eyes and go to sleep only to wake up the next day.  I guess that’s everyone’s life.  That’s been a realization for [...]

Can’t Stop Life by Q. Reyes – Artistic Warfare #100

I wouldn’t want to stop life, but even if I wanted, I would not be able to do so.  That’s perfectly fine, because that’s the way life survives and continues.  Life goes on with, or without us. How about slowing down life?  Wouldn’t want that either since time is relevant.  If you slow down life [...]

Regretting Regret, by Q. Reyes – Artistic Warfare #99

We all live with lots of regrets.  The favorite reply to that from people is “never regret anything” or something along those lines, but that’s not possible.  Regret can’t be stopped, yet regretting is not necessarily a bad thing. Regret is the wish that you would have made a different choice in your past.  Regret [...]

Lower Your Standards, by Q. Reyes – Artistic Warfare #98

If you’re out there and you’re single: Lower your standards.  It’s that simple.  We all have a skewed perception of ourselves, and that’s okay.  It’s okay to be confident in what we have to offer.  The issue becomes an issue when you feel “better than” someone or that you deserve way more in a partner [...]

The Weakness of Wealth by Q. Reyes – Artistic Warfare #97

This is a story about two sisters: Wisdom and Wealth.  A lot of us have a desire to acquire Wealth and we want her to be our best friend.  We want Wealth to be by our side all the time, every day.  Wealth is fun and always has a plan to keep her lovers entertained.  [...]

When is it okay to talk on the phone? by Q. Reyes – Artistic Warfare #96

It’s an honest to goodness question that I need answered. I have no idea when it’s okay to talk to someone on the phone! Before texting and email existed I had a pretty good gauge on when was the proper time to call, both in business and in personal relationships. So I’m back from Puerto [...]

Puerto Rico, by Q. Reyes – Artistic Warfare #95

I’m in Puerto Rico right now. An average of a sunny 80-something degrees year-round. Women so stunning they should make a law against the tight jeans they wear. Crime, however… Wow. Things are out of control. Will have a full report next week.

I’m not Republican, I Just Crush a Lot (of Dreams), by Q. Reyes – Artistic Warfare #94

If you haven’t listened to hip hop for the last ten years, then the title of this post will make absolutely no sense to you. If I went further and mentioned Big Pun featuring Joe, you’d probably roll your eyes and go back to listening to Teddy Pendergrass sipping on some E & J, wearing [...]

Pretentious Philanthropy, by Q. Reyes – Artistic Warfare #93

I’m sitting at the Westlake/MacArthur Park Metro Stations waiting on the train to go watch a boxing match in Hollywood.  The irony is that there are more, and better boxing matches around here for free. If you’ve never been around MacArthur Park (Los Angeles, Ca)  at night, I’ll try to explain it as best as [...]

How to Create a TV Show, by Q. Reyes – Artistic Warfare #91

It’s easy to be discouraged from creating a TV program when you take a look at the careers of Aaron Spelling or Norman Lear.  The fact of the matter is that they found a formula to creating engaging programming, and that formula is what we all need in order to succeed in the TV show [...]

Dumb People Make Dumb Resolutions, by Q. Reyes – Artistic Warfare #92

People should stop making dumb ass resolutions.  YOU CAN’T ACCOMPLISH 10 YEARS OF PROCRASTINATION in 2011!!!  Please stop telling people “This is your year!”  “This year is going to be big!”  — You’ve been singing that tune for the last 20 years! I’m not saying to not make goals and resolutions… I’m just saying to [...]
