Canada's BIF NAKED has issued the following update:

"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 cancer hospital 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 Prairies, 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*

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
