Taliesin Haugh here, speaking through the e-auspices of my roomie Shiah due to a complete failure to work and play well with blogger under my own efforts...
My first attempt at blogging, hurried and long postponed, awaits me now and all you who read hereafter...
Let me say that I'm not an experienced writer, that I prefer to speak, dance, heck guys I'll draw in the sand with a stick before writing if I can. Alright, I suppose that's enough of a preface for our purposes.
Due to software miscommunication this entry finds me opening into the third month of my participation with Moishe House here in beautiful Cleveland Heights, OH.
We are celebrating political and social change, pursuing several degrees in science and education, teaching, throwing awesome parties, engaging our peers in thoughtful debates, holding down at least 6 jobs, and becoming more and more prominent in our jewish community. It's a busy house. Shabbat may be the only time all four of us actually sit together at once, but we've all been working in the same direction since we moved in and honestly, we're a better group for all of the pressure we're under.
I've never really had roommates that could be relied upon to wash the dishes... these guys took them to the mikvah. Instead of a passing interest in each others' lives, we've actually be *pooling* our interests, whether they be music, movies, art or events. So far, I think the four of us are leading by example how to maintain a community spirit. Something like this house has always been an aspect of this neighborhood, a place where the young musicians and artists tend to congregate... only this house, it's more focused, and a place to celebrate jewish life and culture. Yes, I'd say I'm pretty excited. What more to say? I hope we don't alienate our less liberal friends in the weeks to come by celebrating too loudly last night's results...
