Putnam County Spelling Bee in Portland

Putnam County Spelling Bee in Portland

The National Spelling Bee took place yesterday. If you’re in the Portland area, check out the Putnam County Spelling Bee with Raymond J Lee (Chip) and Ka-Ling Cheung (Marcy Park) thru June 27, 2010. Here’s more about Putnam County Spelling Bee:

Six kids face off in the battle of their lives. The competition is intense. The words are outrageous. Let the spelling (and the singing) begin! Three adults adjudicate the proceedings: a nostalgic former spelling bee winner, a mildly insane Vice Principal and The Official Comfort Counselor completing his community service to the State of New York. Both tender and sardonic, this hilarious Tony Award-winning musical of overachievers angst brings you inside the spelling championship to end them all. From the author of Falsettos and A New Brain.

10 Questions with the Dalai Lama

10 Questions with the Dalai Lama

Time Magazine sat down with the Dalai Lama to ask 10 questions from the public. Questions include:

Do you see any possibility of reconciliation with the Chinese government within your earthly lifetime?
Do you ever feel angry or outraged?
Have you ever thought about being a normal person instead of the Dalai Lama?
Will you be able to fulfill your destiny if you never go home again?
Do you believe your time here on earth has been a success?
Have you ever tried on a pair of trousers?

He answers some of the questions on video. See the rest of the questions and responses here. The Dalai Lama is on the promo circuit promoting his book Toward a True Kinship of Faiths.

More about the Dalai Lama
He was enthroned as the Dalai Lama at the age of four, making him the 14th earthly reincarnation of the Buddhist Lord of Compassion. He has served as the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhists and led Tibet until he was forced out by Chinese occupiers in 1959, after which he fled to exile in India. Since then the Dalai Lama has traveled the world advocating for a free Tibet, democracy in China and an end to human-rights violations. He has published numerous books on theology, philosophy and international relations. His latest, Toward a True Kinship of Faiths, is on sale now.

Summerbreeze dropped a video for his original song “What if”. He’s strumming a guitar and singing on the rooftops overlooking Berkeley, CA. Big ups to TurtlistMedia for shooting the video. We met him over the past Memorial Day weekend.

Lyrics to What If by Summer Breeze

Readin every line singin every praise puttin your life repeat
A melody and a beat
Earth and stars, Venus to Mars
Layin down on
Your cloud putting the whole world to pause and then smile
your heart reveals that things will be alright.
but one question that boggles my mind.

what if we’re meant to be
could you be my light
standing next to me
across from paradise
if only you could see
the fire in my soul
reachin out for someone
for someone to hold
someone like you.
someone like you…

New to old from stories untold
No one knew that your mind is filled with harmony and rhymes
East to west the suns’
Ready to set, she smiles anyways
On her worst possible days and then smiles
your heart reveals that things will be alright.
but one question that boggles my mind.

what if we’re meant to be
could you be my light
standing next to me
across from paradise
if only you could see
the fire in my soul
reachin out for someone
for someone to hold

what if we’re meant to be
could you be my light
standing next to me
across from paradise
if only you could see
the fire in my soul
reachin out for someone
for someone to hold
someone like you…
like you…

your heart reveals that things will be alright
but one question that boggles my mind
what if we’re meant…
to be

what if we’re meant to be?
