finally, the story. After that internal search and research, I've put together all those visual symbols and made this mixed video. Its a construction of flash animation, video and stop motion.

Side comments: while constructing the story
While writing this first part of the story everything was easy because the ideas were flowing at the moment, but once I got to the end I didn't really know how to re-direct it to where I wanted to go at the beginning, that gave me lots of troubles trying to find the way back. After rethinking the whole structure finally accepted that my story was not going that way anymore, or maybe not for now, and that I had to go dive in this new detour to get back later to my main body at some point over the story:
After the part one, started asking myself why do I start telling a story about myself while I try to tell a general story about displacement... simple: understanding the proper mind is the best way to comprehend that what's around, by exposing this experiences I will allow the audience to have easier access to the angle of my story... that led me to think about those things that cause reactions on me.
input is defined as an entrance or charges which are inserted to a system and activate/modify a process, colors and nature are some of those things that cause an input reaction on my brain, so I took this elements to tell my story: I had my small camera with me in every moment and took pictures or video of all those things that seemed key to my story of how I displace and how the imput is generated while this happens.

Part 1 of the story: Welcome in
Walk up the porch stairs and go to the yellow door, open it. Black, everything in there looks pitch black, like when you want to find the stars in the middle of the night but the city lights are so bright
My head is this universe you see, a universe full of thousands of this twinkling stars communicating to each other, bouncing around the inside of my thinking box, tracing constellations with thousands and thousands of colors that illuminate the space, they are born, move and then glow as if exploited, this constellations are the drawings of my thoughts, may be that's the actual reason of my extreme sensibility to physically reflected color, or may be that's why I can see all this colors in my head every time I listen to music or a simple sound. I'm planing to go somewhere, take a plane and get there, have an adventure as adventurers say, go from where I am to somewhere else... I just want to go, so I need to get this started, plan ahead, think, my neurons (or that is what I like to believe) are working so fast, I need to explore my possibilities, to construct that destination, like a cube, like the colors of a rubik cube crying for having an order.
White!.... my eyes opened with the same speed of the next wink.

Constructing the story... or its first steps...
Every single second we are going from a place to another in somehow, my story tells something about this, displacement, and how I got here (that refers to where I could be standing right now). 
After the first cartesian ritual of questioning myself about what displacement means ( and what I want to tell about it in this story), got the spine of this skeleton and analyzed the concept of displacement. My first conclusion is that the idea of displacement goes beyond any physical attempt of going from one side to another, taking the brain and its functions as another mean of transportation and in fact, I consider that this is the real first mean we all take for most of our activities (or that's what we are supposed to do), there is where our thoughts take us to specific sites in our minds right before we are even physically there.
Possibilities are endless, through our minds we can go anywhere, everywhere, in any way, just as in our dreams through which we experience innumerable things, see things that might never really become information processed by our optic nerves (part of our "physical reality"), but there I get to a new sparking point, what is reality then? Is there a "real" concept for that? The conception of reality is strongly influenced by what other people say real things are, but, my way to understand it is that reality is an individual concept in which things can be as true as we believe in them, where things can change their aspect and their color, and might not even be there, our reality could be in our dreams, it basically becomes a matter of decision where you choose what reality looks like and where do you want your reality to be (whether if it is a specific moment or state of conscience).
This endless number of possibilities in reality takes me to the endless possibilities of the mind and therefore the body, where someone's thoughts or feelings can allow someone to displace in any way, sometimes limited (if so) by the mean (body or lack of imagination). In my journey, I first started to construct the destination in my mind, and then explored it. When the physical journey began, my new destinations started to be constructed.

About how to tell a story and other curiosities
If I knew how to tell a story, I would have one right now, and actually I have lots of them, but I need to tell just one, that's what I will do in this blog, to tell my story, and the story of how will I tell it.
A story could be anything and could be anywhere, it is a body composed by content and container. In this case the idea is to tell a story based on simple displacement: the story of how I got here and how people displace from one side to another in any possible dimension, and want to show the possibilities of displacement in every sense.
First of all, the story needs a point to access the content where audience can get in and start diving, and a point of access
to the container, that of course is related with how the story will be told (the media). My way to access this information is by questions, getting in and out of my information and taking conclusions that will give me access to new ways of thinking or maybe to new conclusions that might even change my first way to access.
Once my story is in process and information is floating everywhere in my head, I need to set connections among the key ideas (which I previously developed in brainstorming), in order to get the initial bounds and direct the story to a beginning, sometimes getting to points where the story goes out and in, or in and out the branches of the story. This mental patterns help to set the first sketches of a story-board and the main direction of the story body.
