Death can’t find moi…
Namaste, Bonjour, Salaam, and ’sup y’all to you most Beautiful Wonderful People. Hey, thank you for reading these insipid little “blog” offerings from me……I do feel and want to express my constant gratitude for you. I hope everyone feels empowered and positive, especially after a great week with The New Regime/Camp in America! Man! Our generation finally has someone to really root for!!! :)
I had a week of contemplative focus. I am ever the pragmatic grrl, but I do get daunted as I keep turning purple-in-the-face all the time.
Just makes me fight through it.
Remember I told you my car was hit during the big Vancouvie Snow last month? Obviously, I had to get it repaired. Only took a day. So that was good. (Not that I don’t walk all the time, but I do like to take wee babydog-old-man-Nicklas to Spanish Banks).
As I was picking said car up from the bodyshop, one of the nice guys down there gave me this button…he said his wife had battled breast cancer A COUPLE TIMES and always wore the pin (which says, “I’M NOT DEAD YET”) man I laughed!!!! That is MY kinda humour! Eventually, she got her wings, like Anna did. Bless her. Om nama shivaya.
Her husband wanted me to have her pin.
I was so honored! I immediately pinned it to my jacket (with my ol’ Minor Threat patch on the front) and I haven’t gone one day without wearing it, since. :)
I often forget its on, shouting its words to all eyes it meets. Mostly, people are “offended” or “uncomfortable” with it. Sheesh! I feel bad about that, as, it is not one of my usual deliberations-to-be-disarming, or anything.
I love the message of the button and the story behind it! Fuck em if they can’t deal, right? Is that wrong? Hahaha!
Anyhoo…..I feel very strong and extremely centered, this week. We will be MIXING THE ALBUM starting next week and I will definitely have a lot of news!!!!
Yay! Yay! Yay!
I hope everyone has a blissful, bountiful weekend and remembers to live with intention. :) I will make the same efforts and feel collective goals with you mindful peeps. Be well, be happy, call your parents (why the fuck not, eh) and pet a dog! Oh, of course, enjoy a banana! :)
I am beyond in love with Medjool Dates, right now, and can only buy three at a time, now (because I WILL eat the whole container!!!) Have some dates.
Much love and highest blessings to you all,
Om Hare Om. Hare Krishna Om.

Hey Bif!
I love the pin, it’s really a great story behind it too, wear it with pride! I haven’t eaten yummy dates in ages…. hmmm off to the shops I think!
It’s always a privilige to read your blogs!
So excited about your new album! About as excited about playing my first gig of the year next weekend.
Sending you good energies! x

Love the pin Biffy, wear it with pride! Don’t let anyone get to you, you’ve battled a demon and are coming through the otherside with dignity. You’re allowed to have something to show that you’re still fightin’ and going strong!
So cannot wait for the new album. I know it is going to be righteous! Don’t forget us loyal UK fans, we’ll want to have it in our stores too!! Come see us when you’re able to.
I love reading your blogs, don’t stop with them. They are inspirational and a welcome break from the hussle and bussle of the world. It’s nice to stop and THINK about something for once, rather than having to just DO because of time demands.
Love, peace and warmth to you always Biffy xoxoxo

Bif your first album kicks ass and always reminds me of high school, the mid-90’s and Vancouver, none of which I appreciated enough at the time. That and the first Garbage album were my twin obsessions for a year or so.
Would love to hear “Over You” and especially “The Letter” live…not sure if you still play those ones, but they’re both great.

Hey Bif,
I love the pin. It says so much with only a few words. You are awesome and inspire me in many ways. In fact, just today I called my parents and pet my dog. And of course, I enjoyed a banana while rocking out to one of your discs. Can’t hardly wait for the new album. Keep rocking.
Much love and happiness.

Hey Bif, well I just wanna say that you are a HUGE inspiration for me; a simple 16 year old. I have the utmost respect for you and your ways of living life. And I will say this, whoever wants to hate on you trying to be strong in your fight, can just piss off. I really can’t see how that button could offend anyone. People gripe about things just because they’re bored with their own life. I can’t wait to hear your new music, and I’ve been antisipating it ever since I heard you were getting around to it. Bless you, and those around you with your music, like you’ve always had. You can change the world, I know it.
Much love, Linda Lye. <3
