Listen Up

That means all of you. Every last one.

By popular, persistent, rather annoying request, I've changed this blog's URL to http://steaksaucecarrotsauce.blogspot.com/, from the short-lived http://hijuelagranputa.blogspot.com. I must concede that it's actually a better idea for a URL, notwithstanding the fact that the nagging I endured was similar to having a pack of mice gnawing at my plantar warts. Here's why:

First, having a URL identical to the title of my blog is more convenient for reasons obvious to anyone who is capable of having read this far. (If you had any difficulties processing anything prior to the preceding period, any difficulties whatsoever, just pack it in and please don't ever come back to this site, as you clearly blow. Or maybe you're just too young. Whatever the case, go away.)

Second, although "hijuelagranputa" is a favored exclamation of mine, it's not going to stick in the subconscious of the average non-native Spanish-speaker. The only reason I created this blog was for people to read it, so giving it a confusing name would've been a first step in the wrong direction. I suppose I could've gone with the literal English equivalent -- http://sonoftheoutstandinglytalentedadmiredandrespectedprostitute.blogspot.com -- but, eh, I decided against it.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, "steak sauce carrot sauce" brings to my mind warm and fuzzy memories of a time in my life when I was oblivious to the bone-crushing, soul-sapping realities that life eventually serves up to you like so many plates of shit in a filthy, backwoods diner. Ah, if only life could be all "steak sauce carrot sauce", all the time, we'd all live in the trees and chirp like sparrows. Short of that pie-in-the-sky fantasy, I'll settle for making "steak sauce carrot sauce" the only phrase you'll ever have to remember when you get the inevitable urge to access the meandering musings of my decrepit mind.

So, to those members of my spellbound audience who persuaded me to make this change, thank you, and eat a bowl of dick.
