I wanted to title this blog "Constantly Risking Absurdity;" what a daring, exciting title. I picture someone reading that title and thinking, "This blogger constantly risks absurdity? Really? Oh man, I gotta click on this and see if it's really that far out!" "Constantly Risking Absurdity" is also the title of the Blue Devil's 2008 show, one of my favorite drum corps shows of that season. Drum corps is my passion; I marched with Santa Clara Vanguard Cadets last summer, and loved every second of my time with them. The Blue Devil's show is based on a poem of the same name, which compares the feats of a poet to those of a tightrope walker.
But then I realized that I could not name this blog "Constantly Risking Absurdity." The title of this blog should reflect the work I will write in it, and I do not risk absurdity very often, honestly. The Blue Devils are not my favorite drum corps. I do not know much about the poem, as I have only read it a few times, not closely. Therefore, the title of this blog will be "Sometimes Risking Absurdity," because I feel that it more accurately describes my writing (hopefully in a good way), and because it sounds less connected to the poem and the show.
