im back and rather motivated

ive been back in the states for almost 2 weeks. europe was amazing and i miss it very much. it was very strange coming back. i remember going for a walk around these suburbs the morning after being home and noticing all the ridiculously huge houses with the big fancy cars in their driveways and the huge lawns of chemically fertilized grass. i have been feeling anxious back here. for the past few months i have been around people who share the same interests as i do and now im back here, in america, the land of excess and selfishness. but its not all bad, its a great country and all. i met alot of americans and people from england who have moved to europe to escape their country, and for a while that was my plan. but like my brother said if everyone ran away everything would fall apart and no positive change could be made.i could be pretty much anywhere i want to be right now but im chosing to stay in this town to try to get things going.( and michell is here too) there is no sense of community here. we need to work together as a community. i have had some thoughts on what i can do about this. i am interested in renting out a space in town and having weekly potlucks or something like that. it would be a good opportunity to bring people together. also i am interested in starting a group of maybe 10 or 20 people who pair up in groups of 2 and visit with people and maybe cook them some good healthy food.
