1. I am a fan (or was a fan of) Tiffany Evans as well as Rihanna.
   
   
2. I have no doubt that Tiffany knows the grimey inner-workings of the music industry nor do I deny that she is brave to speak out. However, her issues with the industry should be brought up in another protest; this song has nothing to do with the "evil" she speaks of. She's brought two points forward that when coupled together accuse Rihanna of evil-doing and even "murder". There are far more mass-appealing and socially damaging Rap & R&B songs that Tiffany could have spoken out against this year and she EXCLUDED them. Why? Furthermore, this industry did not SUDDENLY become "evil" and if she cannot deal with it then perhaps she needs to choose another career.
   
   
3. It seems everyone's real problem with Rihanna isn't even the song. They (you) don't like her image, sound, or whatever else... which is your right. But to throw that into an argument about a song and its intentions seems far-fetched.
   
   
4. Have you actually even heard the song? Russian Roulette is a GAME, a game of risk. So let's think about this... what are things in life that are also risky? Love? A Career move? Any major decision? You've never been in a situation where at that moment you didn't think you'd survive? Never had something you had to fight with your own self for? Lucky you.
   

NYC makes me want to punch someone. The main culprits:

• slow people (i.e.: tourists (especially French), fat people, Asians (especially girls))
  
• smokers walking in front of me
• infrequency of major trains during rush hour causing serious crowding
• lost people in my way
• people who cannot control their small children (rodents)
  

New Design Role

Not enough time in the day...

• I leave the office at 6/630pm to ride an overcrowded train
• I get home by 7/730pm to have 4 measly hours of alone time before 11pm when I should be getting in the shower and in bed by 12pm. (I'm never in bed before 2am)
  
• I then get up at 7am (starting the alarms at 6am because I never want to get up) to get out the door by 8am.
  
• The 4 hours of alone time needs to include talking to my mom who is going to call everyday anyways and make me feel bad if I don't answer. To be honest, I don't vent to anyone else in particular and no one makes me laugh like she does so I need the call too which usually lasts at least 1.5 to 2 hours.
  
• Now I'm left with 2 hours to pay attention to ims/chat (because I can't talk and type at the same time), check out new music online, share stuff on Facebook, Twitter, blog, etc.
  
• Keep in mind that if I want to get laundry and/or grocery shopping done, I have until 9pm for the laundry (which takes 2 hours) and until 8pm for groceries (6pm on weekends). I truly live in a neighborhood that caters to OLD people and losers that have nothing to do BUT shop or do laundry during the day, and never leave the neighborhood.
