The Best Medicine…
Namaste and Salaam, Salut and Hola to everyone! *cue Loverboy soundtrack* “Everybody’s Workin’ For the Weekend”.
I trust you have had a busy week, ripe with daily adventures and immense stimulation. What is there, other than our collective hopes and dreams, to motivate the drive? I am sending you energy and positivity, as ever, along your Path.
My week has been intense and busy.
I had a long-anticipated mammogram (yup- the ol’ “tit squish”) mid-week. Of course, the technicians aren’t “allowed” to give you any indication as to what the images show…..and the fact that it was rather “quick+routine”, leads me to stick to my belief that nothing is the matter. :)
I always visualize the happy outcome.
Being back at the cancerhospital was strangely insignificant for me. It is a very familiar and comfortable place. I went there with my jokes+shenanigans at-the-ready, lest I need to “ham it up” for the other people there. This effort brings me great joy, as I always hope no one is feeling scared or sad or anything.
This desire is built in to me. I can’t change it. Can’t shut it off. Can’t change it and wouldn’t want to.
Besides, laughin’s fun! LOL! Everythingeverythingeverything makes me laugh: my hair, my dog’s hair, driving among other drivers (people are soooo dramatic, non?), comedians (Lisa Lampinelli, Don Rickles, Sarah Silverman, Eddie Murphy, Martin Laurence, Russell Peters, etc.etc.), my band (they are sooo funny+tell me lots of jokes), poop (yes. I said poop. I will always think “poop stories” are funny. So sad+immature! LOL!) Just to mention a few things.
Laughter is sustinance. It can heal people, heal broken hearts, anything. Laughter is powerfulpowerful stuff. Om Nama Shivaya. :)
Sooo…
My next tests (ultrasounds+xrays) aren’t until November, because TA-DAA!
I’m coming out on tour, again, to play some shows!!!!!! *happy dance*
Next week finds us in Alberta. The next trips will then be for The Praries, and then back to Ontario+Quebec (I hope? Parce que j’adore la belle provence!)
Please keep checkin’ the tour dates because new shows are added all the time! Fucking fantastico!!!!!
I can’t wait to see everyone! *beam*
In the meantime, I seem to be shaking off a “bug” of some kind….my bones all ache like a mofo! Weeeeeird! Feels like my ribs are broken! (But I don’t have a “cough” go figure) I’m sure that I will shake it by Monday (when we are fixin to leave) I’m positive this goal will be realized, and I will feel 100% by then. Of COURSE I will. :)
As you can see (photo) my nursemaid is wee Nicklas, lying and waiting on my pillows, for me to go to bed+rest/sleep.
He is suuuuch a clown, though, as he tries to burrow under my feet and bite and bark from under the duvet! This is sheer bliss. Endless, gutbustin laughter. Love it!
I hope each and every one of you experiences some full-on, cant-help-it, bellylaughs this weekend. Life is far too funny to take toooooo seriously. Life aint”hard” as long as we keep laughing at situations and ourselves. Right?
Go on. You know you can’t stifle the laughs. Just let yourself go, and give in to the hilariousness and ridiculousnesses (is that a word? ) I am sending you lotslots of love and immeasurable laughs.
Yuk it up. Its good for you.
Om Hare Om.
Love,
Biffy

Bif, good to hear that things are going well for you and you are in good spirits. laughter and puppies are indeed excellent medicine! i know when I need a lift, one of my three fuzzy kids will do something silly or give me a snuggle and everything will be alright. Nic looks soooo sweet lying there waiting for you!
such good news about the new album (mine should be in my mailbox today! yippee!) and the new tour. Hopefully, someday soon you will make it back to Pennsylvania – loved your last Philly show when I got to meet you in person!
Love,
Denise

I had good laughs today when I play with my cat. He had such behaviors. My parents dog makes me laugh too because of his face sometimes. Laughing and feeling strong are the cures when anything goes tough.

Lisa Lampinelli cracks me up. The first time I ever saw her was on the Pamela Anderson roast, and my jaw dropped about two seconds into her routine and stayed down for the duration. She’s so offensive, but hilarious and likable enough to get away with it.

it’s true what you say about laughter.
last night i was at a gf’s campfire. went there feeling like a schmuck. then out came the plastic hillbilly redneck teeth along with the hillbilly accents and tears were coming out of my eyes from the laughter.
good to know all is well with you and i wonder where in ontario you will be. will check the tour schedule…

laugh all the time and your sides are sure to hurt. no coughing necessary. laugh a bit most of the time and your doing good. no laughter can be painful and debilitating. i can’t laugh at but with you. clown’s always get laughed at and “all the world loves a clown?*!”
pooping is both funny and serious. ’cause if you don’t shit you die! working in hospitals i know this to be true.
may we all be happy and giggly on a regular basis.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I find life quite amusing if you can look at it from a 3rd person point of view.We all do schtupid things! Of course there are extremely hard times.. these are not to go unrecognized; but in general… why go life with some stern hard assed pissy attitude? I have never understood those kinda ppl… hope I never will… Thank Cod for freedom of spirit in this day.!
