The One-Pointed Path

Namaste, Beautifulwonderful People! I am sending you all endless gratitude and Highest Blessings, as ever.
This week was pretty cool. As I am feeling better every week, I am able to concentrate my energies and focus on my PATH. My Path of Deliberation and Purpose.
One facet of which- is TOUR!
*squeal*
In my tour preparations, besides rehearsals (which we embark on in approximately seven more sleeps), I have to begin to consider ALL that it will require for me to thrive and perform every day, as we travel……
*modify eating (must change how I eat, a little bit, as it won’t be easy to have consistency in my diet, due to travelling and unavailability of some things I currently have unlimited, blessed access to..ie. Naam salads, organic pineapple, organic cukes, etc.etc.)
*modify sleeping patterns (this is my biggest challenge. Often we don’t hit the stage until AFTER MY BEDTIME!! I must retrain my body to stay up later…but I keep getting up at my normal time anyway! Sheesh!)
*modify sensitivity (often I miss Nicklas soooo much-no..he can’t come on tour because I’m too busy everyday on show days, it won’t be fair for my little senior citizen babydog…..so..I get pretty sad a lot if I think about his eyelashes, or something. Plus I think about our Blessed, Late babydog, Annastasia all the time. )
*modify physical activities (without consistent time-and-access to a gym OR yoga space, on tour, I must resort to: weighted medicine balls, skiprope-which I don’t like cause I’m a chick and boobs bounce too much: that aint fun; plus my yoga will be only the space on the bus or in the stanky shower room which is often alive with many people)
*etc……………
Oh, don’t get me wrong: this is a GOOOD thing! I am stoked as fuck about touring, as always. Particularly THIS tour, as I so love a fresh rekkid-tour!!! Heehee! So fun! So fucking fun!
Its all happy little problems to have: I just want to get into my “road-mode” and perform well every night!! :D
I’ve included a photo from my silly styling (as you know I always do this myself because all those peeps used to dress me like a witch-not that there’s anything wrong with that-but mama likes me some soft pinky fluffy girly clothes, ya feel me?) I tried to blur out the name of the store (which was emblazoned across the changeroom mirrors) because I think its illegal or something? I am in one motorcycle boot and one ladyshoe. The boots always win, Baby! Always! Hahaha!
Oh and I don’t know how the fuck to airbrush so don’t look at my fuckin legs, we are simply showing the beginning of the selection process! Hahahahhahahahha!
Allrighty, my Loves, I know its a “long” weekend and that means people get happier with free time and an excuse to play outside. Good. Enjoy all the extra opportunity of time brings!!! Feel happy and lucky and good! Remember: our Western World is beyond luxury: there are no long weekends in war/drought/starvation/hunger/sickness. Be happy and thankful.
I am as always, thankful for you.
And, of course, bananas (which are actually ON the tourfood request -a.k.a. “Tour rider” hahahaha!)
Big lovey energy and Om Hare Krishna to everyone!
Love,
Biffy

How does one introduce themselves to someone via internet?!
Hi?
Been a fan for many many years, and only now have come across your blog entries… thank you! Thank you for giving us some insight into your life, your struggles and successes. Its amazing to be able to share our lives in such an informal/formal way, to touch people, teach people and share a new way of thinking…
Just touching the keys to say hello and thank you.

WOOHOOO Biffer!!
I am NOT surprised that the boots won!!
LOVE the new cd!! Keep finding parts of the songs stuck in my head and am enjoying the process of associating them to the new songs!! Woke up today with “Red Flag” snippets!! Frick started tearing up from “Welcome to the End” while doing bicep curls at the gym – and “Crash and Burn” gets me going everytime too! Love it!
As always, you are amazing and so inspirational! I can’t count how many times you spurred intense gym workouts after seeing how ripped your legs were on tour!! Thank you for taking the time to write these blogs – I am so grateful for your positive messages and that you are getting better!!
Good luck with the tour prep – I for one can not wait to see you back in action and truly appreciate the efforts!!!
Take care and have a super weekend!!

Hey Bif;
Well, I can bring you some organic fruit and veggies to your London show if you like? Seeing as I live on an organic farm!! :D hee hee
We’re eating LOTS of asparagus these days! Strawberries might be ready by the time you get here ;).
Anyway, can’t wait to see you bring the house down at Norma Jeans :).

We have an organic market downtown in Med Hat right by where you are playing :) Delicious fodder for the feasting! I may have to bring you something in reminder of Nicklas… hmm… the only problem would be getting it to you, haha! I know you’ll do great, you are strong and have so many people that are willing to help, so this tour is going to be WICKED!!!! I’ll be watching you from the second row… wooooot! Let there be ROCK!
Love always,
Bunnie

It’s girly time! Okay first of all, your outfit is awesome. I love it. Skinny jeans, yeah! Must say, I prefer the lady shoe, but for onstage jumping around, it’s probably safer and more comfortable to wear the boot. For me, comfort always triumphs over style.
Boot > lady shoe. I always wear boots to shows too :)
Also, your legs are great. I kill mine at the gym every week with squats, lunges, and leg presses so my legs can look like yours! I have “chicken legs” so to speak.
When Scatterheart joins you on tour you’ll have a yoga buddy! Jesse teaches Yoga. He’s pretty amazing.
See ya on tour!

I’m sure you’ll adjust just fine to touring, I’m very jealous!! hehehe
The boots are always gonna win, way sexier. (and as if you need to airbrush… pfffttt!!) I’m just sending the guy in the shop I work at out for more bananas for our juice bar, yay!!

Aw, I’m bummed that all of your tour dates are in Canada. You make me wish I lived there :(
