Canadian rock vocalist Bif Naked, who is currently battling breast cancer, has issued the following update:

“Namaste and holymackrel, whatta week it has become! I hope everyone is enjoying the fire-engine-red maple trees as much as Nicklas and I are! I was all set for my surgery (yup, still have to do the daily injections-in-the-stomach for another month-yikes!) yesterday, and I received a most wonderful invitation from my pals SIMPLE PLAN. You see, Pierre's brother has cancer, too, and we cancerhomies kinda look out for each other (as anyone). Simple Plan's new video is a charity vid complete with cameos from peeps that they ask (LIKE MOI!!! YAY!). So I went to The Four Seasons, before my surgery (yes, in full makeup! Duh!) to take part.

Well, I thought I would faint when, none other than, Rene Angelil (Celine Dion’s hunband!) walks through the door! He was soooooooooooo well dressed, like royalty. Such an eloquent and elegant man, I was so thrilled to meet such a person. :) Honestly...like meeting HOUR from BAD BRAINS or James from METALLICA or something, meeting Rene was reeeeallly cool! Plus I tried to pepper my speech with Francais, upon the sight of the security entourage in the front lobby as I left. I was already so honored to be asked by the SP boys to participate in such a beautiful video...but THAT was the icing on the cake! *beam*

Then I went to surgery.

Hahahahahhaha! And such is life, twists and turns and everyday something will suprise us. My parasite (the heinous port) is OUTIE!!!!!!!!!!! Gone.

Wow. I've had that fucker implanted in me for TEN months. Now I have stitches and a hole (like I needed another hole).

Must eat extra bananas to fill the void! I'm stuck on Live Through This (yup...the old HOLE record) this week. Makes me melancholy and happy at the same time. Gotta have both.

Big blessings, big hugs, big dreams, big plans, big love."

Biffy

Om nama Shivaya
