Esto es un Testo.
It's easy to find the roots of words when you're proficient in spanish as a second language. Testo comes from old italian, which was employed as the official language of Hispania (the kingdom which later became Spain). Testo has an evident connection with Texto. Speaking is of course, an essay in progress, so this is a reference to the proverbial wisdom which made Socrates and Confucius whom they are today. Test -> Text -> Flowing Essay of Words in Progress: A Test. The flowing wisdom of the moving words. Sounds fantastico.
I can only thank my parents from crossing the desert all the way from Chihuahua, into the San Fernando Valley. Gente Valiente, indeed.

Hola Nahual,
Your parents were surely valientes enough, to settle on mexican chololand, yo viví un rato en la liber. Calle 16, man. Had my first real novia in one of the vecindades. Hate it or love it? Dude, just take a look at la Placita Olvera, some bad attempt at creating a Mexiquito. That's why we keep up visiting la Baja as much as we can.
Hope to see you around, carnal. I will be coming soon to TJ, we can have some beers then.

Esto en un testicle.
that is, if you're seeking roots. O maybe a pocho teclando about raices, un test tecla.
sounds like an interesting project. have a look at guy garcia's second novel, obsidian sky. a chicas patas does your thing, heads into el Defie where a chilanga treats him to some of the headier parts of his Mexican experience.
ate, mvs

Thanks for the comment, Michael, the novel you mentioned wasn't available at Amazon, so i guess i will look at either the public library or Borders. Seems like the book could be a great companion during my trip, in case this turns out to be a Robert Rodriguez nightmarish norteño plot, without a Salma at sight. Or worse, what if Salma turns out to be a Tijuana She-Male perfectly altered by a genetic tailor?
I'm definitely linking you, hope to see you around.
