morning-sunshine

Namaste and Salaam to everyone! As ever, I send you huge positivity and bliss from my heart.
This week is A Beginning.
Better than Christmas-Eve-for-a-four-year-old, I was happily immersed in: TA-DA!!!!! THE PROMISE CDS!!!!!!! Like the stork bringin a bundle of joy…..the cd, tangible and vibrant, arrrived from the shipper.
WOW. I just sat there, and looked at it.
Held it.
Studied it.
Kissed it.
Held it to my chest and then to my forehead and said, “Holyfuck! Thank you, Universe.” And I was quieted for a long time. *beam*
Its REAL. And……with the “release date” a mere eight sleeps away……I am startin to FREAK!!!!!!!!!! (Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! *girl squeal*)
I’m pretty stoked. I can’t WAIT until you see it and HEAR what we did!!!!!! Can’t wait. It was so worth it. I can’t believe the last year. This is the reward. The PROMISE. :)
Om Nama Shivaya.
I am thinking of you and hope everyone has some hand sanitizer???? SWINE flu??? Sheesh. I feel bad about the people who have (and are) fallen ill. I am sorry about the ones lost. :(
We must be smart and take care, of ouirselves and each other. Okay? Stay healthy and happy. Be well and be strong. I will too….
(Handlebars come out tomorrow. Hospital, torture the nurses, the Carnival I so enjoy! Wish me luck!!! I will be out of the hospital in NO time and I WILL get those free scrubs!!!!! I will!!!!!!! Manifest!!! Hahaha!)
Big love to you all…..

Namaste, Sussreekall, Salam, Bonjourno, HeyY’all, and WOW!!!! What a week!!! I hope all of you Most Beautiful People had a successful week filled with untold happiness. I was thinking each of you could have been enjoying bliss..so Nicklas and I tried to manifest said bliss, in your honor. :)
Firstly, I rehearsed THE SET (complete with “The Promise” songs!!!!) And I MUST tell you: my drummer (Flavio), my bassplayer (Jacen), and, of course, my guitarplayer-n-coconspirator/producer/bandleader/The Dude totally took moi to task!!!!!! Oy! (Or is it, “Oi”??) Holyshisse!! They are sooooooo fast! No rest between songs!! Yikes!
And the video was Tuesday….ALLL OF TUESDAY! Yessireee! It was like doing a gig-FULL-ON-for 10 hours straight! Hahaha! Om ThankYou, Universe, for blessing me with the ABILITY. Om Nama Shivaya. (And, thank you for my yoga training, lately. It makes ALLLLL the difference!!!)
I can’t wait to see the edits!!! The guys were awesome!!! Power! Bravado! HORRRRRNS!!!
It was the mostmostmost fun, especially with the collaborative energy.
Ahhhhhh…jammin’ and performance. Its getting me centered. :)
The rest will unfold, as it always does. The Universe is funny like that.
I hope you all feel the love that’s comin’.
Its straight from my heart.
Om Nama Shivaya.
Om Hare Om.
Love,
Biffy

(P.s. Have an amazing weekend! Feel good. Feel happy. Emit the love. )

Rehearsal Aint No Place For My Inner-Child

babybiffy1004

NAAAAAAAAAmaste!!!!!! Divinity to all you Beautiful, Beautiful People. The Inner-Child in me, sees The Inner-Child in you. :)
Yup. That’s Yours Truly (moi) in the photo. Not “pre-verbal” (was there EVER a Quiet Biffy?) But I was probably two. It is how I felt, inside, at my FIRST REHEARSAL YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!!!!
Like a child. Like a small, shy kid. Hahahaha!
It was INCREDIBLE. The noise was deafening and completely thrilling, like Returning Home. I was so happy!!!!!!
And petrified. And I must tell you, like all of us, its how I always feel when I’m self-concious. But that feeling left as the set (no I can’t tell you) was underway, and it was like I never had time off!!! Like always, nervous energy gave way to losing myself in THE ROCK.
Forgetting myself and simply GIVIN’ ER!!!!!
Hahahaha!
I had sooooooooooo much fun!!!! It was kinda squeaky, and my voice kinda felt like I was swallowing rocks/gravel/sand the rest of the night, but that’s always the way it is with Rock-singin’. Always was-always will be. That’s why there are not very many Rockgrrrrrl singers. Our vocal cords are kinda skinny compared to, say, the guys in The Ripcords or the guys in Blood For Blood, y’know?
Today is another rehearsal and then…..tomorrow is rehearsal AND A VIDEO SHOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Goodnessgracious!!!!!!!! I’m pretty nervous (see photo for referance, again..) But I’m pretty fuuuuuuuuuuckin (yay!swearing!) Stoked!!!
What an excitingexciting time. I’m very grateful and very happy+open. Om Shanti. I feel energetic and Awake.
I think about all of you, when we rehearse, and the shows BEING BOOKED AS WE SPEAK, and I’m pretty goshdarn (-thats instead of swearing or sayin “fuckin”) thrilled.
I get to see you all very soon. (Happy dance!!)
I encourage you all to acknowledge and embrace your Inner Child, even if just for a moment. We must honor those feelings and use them to push us towards our individual True Selves. :)
I hope everyone has an incredible week filled with Positivity and Bliss.
Om Nama Shivaya.
Rock-n-Roll is Forevahevah.
Love,

Ready? Set? LET’S GO!

at-ninis-birthdayparty

Namaste and Salaam to you all. I hope today finds you completely covered in all manner of bliss (blissful thoughts, blissful feelings, blissful people). Congratulations are in order, as you’ve made it to The Weekend! Shabosh!
How will you spend your time? :)
Alas, the rain returned to us, in Vancouver, but the entire Lower Mainland is undaunted, as everyone has a fever-for-the-flavour of BOTH the NHL (Canucks) and the WHL (Giants). It is extremely exciting to witness the joy of the masses in a “hockey town” such as this. Blessings to those athletes! May they enjoy their good health and remarkable abilities.

And, may WE ALL enjoy OUR OWN.Everyone has their talent. Even if it is a talent for “taking out the recycling”, it still counts! Right? Right. I am trying to improve my talent for “hats” (see photo) and “hair straighteners”. Haha! Sad but true. I think it may actually take five years to grow back to “long” hair!

Speaking of talent, the boys are booked for rehearsal, starting DAY-AFTER-FUCKING-TOMORROW!!! (Whoops. F-word!)
I am STOOOOOOOOOOKKKKKKEEEEDDD!
(And petrified)
We will be hammering-out a seventeenfucking(whoops)song set, starting on Sunday.
Ambitious, non? Hahaha! Well…..as you all know, I miss touring so much because I love your smiling faces and THE MOSH PIT!! (Haha!)
I’m happy to be returning to rehearsals. Om Nama Shivaya. ThankfuckingGod! (Okayokay…that’s three swears. I’m done.)
We are also *TA-DA!* shooting a video on the third rehearsal day!!!! I don’t want to spoil any suprises….so I will now button my lip. :)
I will whine about my 12-days-in lat pull, however!!!!! I am hoping if I keep babying it (though it has not helped yet) I will be pain-free for the shoot? Cripes! What can I say? Pain has NEVER stopped me before, anyway. Bring it on, right?
I will be careful during my Ashtanga this weekend, and certainly, at practice!
I am sooooo looking foreward to THE NOISE!!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!
I hope everyone has an incredible weekend. My suggestion? Giants on Saturday!!! (Heh,heh) and a cucumber juice en route will keep you focused and alert to see the habitual-triple-overtime schtick that currently enshrouds them.
Nicklas will remain hiding under the blankets until Monday (he hates 1. Rain, and 2. Noise-from-drumkits)
As ever, sending you love, blessings, and bliss,
Om Nama Shivaya. Om Sai Love.

Hey, Meester, its Easter!

easter-2009

Namaste and Salaam, Most Beautiful People. I am guessing almost everyone reading this may have been given “time-off” from work or school. What a luxury, non? Time to reflect? Time to unwind? Time to party? Time for what?

I’m my house, it is always a good time for thinkin’. Me thinks Nick would like to endure those weird “bunny-ears” headbands I always seem to get suckered-into buying every Spring (see photo). Poor lil’ dog. What a good sport!
He doesn’t know if its Easter or birthday or Christmas or anything. Like I’ve always believed, EVERY day is our birthday (which would mean EVERY day is ” Easter”) keeps life so fun!

Today is the day we are making paintings. Inspired from the falling cherry blossoms (pale pink) and the threatening-to-open Magnolias (deep magenta) we will make a mess. Creative endeavours are so soothing, amid the busyness of the place.
My rehearsals start in (count em!) SIX MORE SLEEPS!!!!!!!!!!
I’m STOKED!!!! No….I’m not going to spill the beans regarding the set/songs. I wish to suprise everyone. :)
I will keep you posted, of course.
Rumour has it, we WILL MAKE A VIDEO FOR SICK next week, also!
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!! (Grrl squeal)
Yay!yay!yay!
As I discover and uncover the details, I will divulge.
Nicklas and I wish everyone lots of fun (and I mean- lighthearted stuff, here) instead of dying chicken eggs (as in, “Easter Eggs”) we substitute chocolate eggs (dark, baby! Veeeeegggaaaaan!) And I am making us a gorgeous treat of Raw Banana Ice cream (frozen bananas, two dates, raw tahini, lil’ water, blend in Vitamix-or-powerful-blender).
Happy Everything Everyday!
Bliss and blessings and booyachaka!
Om Hare Hare Om.
Love,
Biffy
