I was making this graphic for my laptop background. Red is place that I have worked in. Green is place that I have visited. Orange is place that I have worked in and visited. Pretty cool hah. Now that makes me looking for a place where to put a white dot, place I have lived in, the place that I really feel connected. The pendulum of my territorial existense has swung to the other side from an ideal to a cynical one. I have passed an invisible line, and without realizing, from the self that is aspiring to become a global citizen, well connected to origin and history, to the self that is floating and feeling deterritorialized (if I could hack Delueze's term). I am spiritually and emotionally still connected to the homeland but physically and intellectually more connected to my 'away'land, and vice versa. In other words, today I have become a global ghost.
