Canadian rocker Bif Naked has checked in with the following update:

"Highest Blessings and Positivity to everyone! I trust the weekend couldn’t come at a better time, and I am sending you energy and love from Hot Vancouver (yup, the weather).

As you can guess, I am like a chicken-with-my-head-cut-off, running around juggling everything in preparation for the tour! Trying to find balance and pleasure in the craziness of an insane schedule. Wow! Seeking the fun in the stress and rushing, I am pretty excited. And overcompensating and overbreathing but not quite hyperventilating. Yet. :)

The video shoot, on Monday, was extremely stimulating, as I got to sit, suspended on a beam 18 feet off the ground, balancing in Lotus Pose. I did NOT attempt Warrior Pose on said beam! I figured it would be too ironic to fall, breakmyfuckingneck, and die, a week before my tour! LOL! It was very dusty and lots of 'smoke machine' smoke (for lighting and stuff) and I was so parched I couldn’t swallow. It will be cool to see the edits. I can’t wait!

Rehearsals everyday have been fantastic and fun! Man! Flavio, Jacen, and Darr make me laugh out loud every five minutes! I did pretty good, most of the days, but yesterday I had a terrible rehearsal. I don’t know why, as it goes with vocals, some days/nights you simply sound like shit-for-no-explanation. Wah! *sigh*

Maybe I’m just tired from not sleeping? (Yes, I’m trying). I’m also trying to de-sensitize myself and get into a mentality of 'austerity' for Life On The Bus. I’m spoiled, at home. Bathtub. Babydog. Blender. Bed. Bountiful!!! I am firmly rooted. And, somewhat attached. So, in an effort to 'get my head in the game' I have been making a concious effort to have a more 'chill' attitude. Haha! (Very difficult pour moi, as a completely Flawed Human: neurotic, nervous, worrying, etc.)

We all are this way. We all feel pretty much the same. So, though underslept and busy and everything, I am concentrating on tour and shows! And you guys! It motivates me and keeps me centered. So, thank you for that. :)

I hope you all enjoy a blissful, bountiful, abundant weekend. Shanti Om to you."

Sai Ram.

Love,

Biffy
