Road Rage!!
Namaste and Sussreekall and Salaam and Word Up to all you BeautifulLoveyPeople! What an auspicious week it is, filled with so many different twists+turns+emotions! And, like life goes, there’s always MORE to come! That’s the thing about life: you just NEVER KNOW what can happen. Like Farrah and Michael (may they rest in Peace-Shanti Om Nama Shivaya). And like the little dog we met in Saskatoon, who was having puppies. So cute (she was a Chihuahua)! She was very happy and had an incredible “Kundalini” vibe to her, being all pregnant and wagging her little tail! :) And, like in Edmonton, where we were parked in a parking lot beside a busy street, and Jason, Jacen, Flavio, and I were discussing shower-room etiquette (don’t ask! LOL!) And I saw, not one, but TWO Bichon Frisee dogs (yes: the spitting image of *gulp* Sri Annastasia, my dead babydog) RUNNING IN THE FUCKING INTERSECTION!!!!!! No lie! I LOST MY SHIT! Dropped my popcorn bowl (no, popcorn is NOT a “raw” food, people. We were ALL eating it. So sue me. LOL!) And in horror, RAN OFF THE BUS AFTER THEM! The traffic was heavy and the cars were four-lanes-thick with speeding cars!! Tears streaming down and my choking/screaming, “stop! Stop!” As the dogs skirted in+out of danger, after their OWNER (a white, male, teenager..nonchalantly walking them off leash) who was not at all concerned!!! Even his Bichons were happily skipping along after him (yes, miraculously safely on the curb, now) and the cars kept’a driving and the guy kept’a walking and his Bichons kept’a skipping merrily along behind him. I wanted to kidnap/rescue the dogs away from him. By force. I was so upset at that guy. So upset. I yelled, “hey!” After him as the trio disappeared through a fence. By the time I reached it (and discovered it lead though a greenbelt of trees+bushes) they were gone. Vanished. History. I sulked all the way back to the bus (likely, talking to myself as usual, and pouting and repeating Anna’s name, etc.) Like nothing happened. And that’s just like life. YOUR experience in a situation, often, is felt+known ONLY BY YOURSELF. And it forces you to DEAL. You and only you can think for yourself and compartmentalize your own feelings BY yourself. I had to deal with my terror,rage, anger, sadness, yearning, desire, disappointment and shock all by myself. Mindfully thinking and walking all the way back to the bus. Yes. The dude was an ignoramus. Yes. You and I would (and do) take better care of our babydogs. Yes. I am upset with that person. Still. Yes. I CAN forgive and be grateful for my ability to forgive. Yesyesyes. Acha, acha. Hanji, hanji. But I’m STILL UPSET. Which I will get over the MINUTE I kiss Nicklas the Babydog on the eyelashes. We shall speak of Him no further or I WILL LOSE MY SHIT.
In the meantime, life goes on and the Show must go on and I am truly truly fortunate and blessed with my daily life of ROCK!!!!!!!!!! And MY PEEPS: Jason, Flavio, Jacen, Christie, The General, Jimmy the Diamond, and Mel. Everyday is Our Adventure of Mass Proportion. We have a good time, a good routine, a good system, a good bond, and good good energy. Om Hare Om. I am so fucking lucky. Everyday. No matter WHAT the day brings. Good or bad. The Experience of Life is my treasure. And playing shows for YOU is my reward. Thank you for comin’ out and seeing the shows! And there are MORE dates being booked all the time!!!!!!!! Keep checkin! Loveyloveygushgushmushymush!!!!! *beam* Have a beautiful weekend and enjoy every moment of it! Find your bliss and breathe deeply. Have fun. Have a (big suprise) banana!!!! Yup. Todays picture is of Moi having my 6am breakfast on the bus while everyone is sleeping. Serendipity. Yumminess. Love. I wish these things for you. Om Nama Shivaya. Love, Biffy Xo P.s. One thing that my dog-experiences-week brings to mind is the BCSPCA!!!! PLEASE GO TO THEIR WEBSITE www.spca.bc.ca/vancouver and find out how to help!!! We MUST help those who can not help themselves (and you KNOW dogs are often waaaaaaaay nicer than people! Yes. Cats, too. The Only Reason I don’t have cats is because I’m so deathly allergic, btw) Well…Nicklas is pretty allergic, as well. LOL! :)

Ooh it makes me mad when I see irresponsible pet owners walking along the city streets with their dogs unleashed. It only takes a second for them to dash out into traffic! It’s heartbreaking. Last month a little miniature pinscher was running down the road in Abbotsford and we scooped her up and took her inside. Spoiled her with love and doggie treats and reluctantly gave her back to her owners who didn’t even seem to care that she was gone! We wanted to keep her so bad.. :(
Anyways, that’s my story ^^
Looking forward to seeing you in Cloverdale next weekend. Stay sweet, stay beautiful (that’s what my good friend Michael says to me :D)
Ciao!

Holy shit; I woulda freaked out too had I seen those poor dogs playing in traffic! EEK!!
It’s funny(?) how life goes sometimes eh!?
I totally get what you mean about dealing with that sorta shit on yer own. Some people just don’t ‘get it’! ;)
Oh and I suggest you watch the film “One Week’ when you get a chance. Good flick for us kick-ass cancer chicks and you might recognise some places ;).
Hope to see you again some time soon! Keep kicking ass and rocking on!!! :D

Salem!Hey Bif!
Edmonton is crazy busy with traffic all the time; last time I went there.. *whispers* was for the Britney Spears concert! HORRIBLE! Anyway! There are always.. not only animals weaving in and out of traffic.. but complete drunk assholes! Oh man. So, you know Regina quite well.. well you know the day that Michael jackson.. and Mrs. Faucet died..? Well that same day.. a man jumped off the Plains hotel.. weird. The police took forever to cover up the body. A lot of people.. witnessed the *mess*..
Sick shit.
I must say I do enjoy your breakfast choice.. many do not like bananas.. I recently tried organic bananas.. DELICIOUS!
I was going to ask you.. in the last comment I left you..
Actually.. I yelled it out at your show at the Distrikt.. How is your husband..? If you are not together.. I feel like a tool.. if you are still married.. then kick ass!
Anyways.. 2:58 a.m.. should TRY to catch some sleep.. I, like you, have troubles sleeping.. a good four hours is probably in order.
Almost coming to terms with it lol
Positive Vibes coming your way!

OMG ..I would have been like WHAT THE F!!! and did the same thing you did. Man I’d do anything for the safety of my Rocksee or any puppys or kitties or birds for that matter. I remember coming home one time from work, I was still in my car in my driveway and I could hear this loud bird..nothing like I usually hear around my house. so I get out and try to locate it by copying its call. I look up from my front steps and there it is sitting on my telephone wire, a beautiful parakeet. I put out my finger like a perch and the bird flew down to me trying to land on me..it took a couple of drive bys. lmao.. im yelling for my husband softly as I could as not to scare the poor lil thing any further. I guess this whole incident was being watched by the neighbour lady across the street. she came running over to me and said you’re amazing! howd you do that? at this point the bird was sitting on me and was my friend.^_^ obviously it was someone pet that was either turned loose or escaped. when hubby came out to see what all the commotion was about, this bird decided to leave me and dive bomb my hubby as it decided that they should be kindred spirits! It never left his side again until the bird shelter came to care for it..They took our lil new friend :( we got lots of pix and felt sad cause we couldnt keep our bird. midnight or mrs. b would have been relentless, I’m sure! Life sure is funny and a journey but mainly a lesson. Cant grow (within your soul) spiritually if you dont make mistakes, the key is to learn. reflect,relate and resolve to find the answers you seek in this life. I remember thinking that if i died tomorow i would be truely happy, still stands today only im richer for my experiences and lessons. I really try to be mindful of my impact on others. Biffy grrl, you have helped me consider those feelings and many other things about life i never considered before. Thank you soo much for that! Grrl.. eat all the popcorn you want and chew your gum. you deserve to be you and to be true to you. whoever points out raw vegan diet flaws should really mind their own business.^_~. though im sure this was some wise guy smartypants. lol
Love love love you and your beautiful heart.

I love my dogs, and would never treat them with the disrespect the kid treated his two dogs.
Someone needs a can of whoop-ass applied to his person.

We heard you on the Bear in Edmonton on the weekend….and it was so enlightening. I have just had the “melonballer” like yourself and am just waiting on the second chemoshot. My hair had started to fall out in clumps, so we shaved it all off, freeing in a weird sort of way. We really aren’t the vision in the colored glass.
I would like to thank you, after hearing you on the bear, (I was feeling a little sorry for myself), I bucked it up and you are very right. You take the path…that is given…and it is your choice if you take it with a smile, or a frown, or tears. There are always tears, but it is so much more fun to smile and laugh, and make really bad jokes.
You have to look at all the great things, and I have been very blessed to have such great family and friends. And the sun still shines and the wind blows on, and life is wonderful….and I am very grateful for everything. So thank you for reminding me.

The Experience of Life is my treasure. And playing shows for YOU is my reward. Thank you for comin’ out and seeing the shows! And there are MORE dates being booked all the time!!!!!!!! Keep checkin! – I so love your attitude- You are truly well wise beyond your years.
Today I was in North Devon, I woke up with the Sun the Sea, and The Sand, and realised that there are few people privelleged to do that.
What ever level of entertainment you are involved in, and my partner was working with children at a kids party at the weekend, if you love what you get paid for, you enjoy a privellege unknown to soooooh many.
I wish Amy could learn this
