Originally I intended to simply allow this to be just a blog, whatever that means. Then I thought of turning it into my official personal blog, again, whatever that means. Then I thought of expanding it a wee bit more by allowing it to take on an Ecclesiastic inspirations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An aimless blog + that gets personal + that gets inspirational = and what do I get??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To make matters worse, in pursuit of some vague SEO tip I've read somewhere, I decided to turn this into a 2-in-1 blog (with the time-chance.blogspot.com serving as the home page, and the josephvizcarra.blogspot.com serving as the inner pages)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a while there I really got myself confused, so I thought I owe my cool and intelligent readers some explanation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While composing this explanation, however, I accidentally formulated a blog description which I though was kinda nice. Nice enough that I posted it in my &lt;a href="http://apps.facebook.com/blognetworks/blog/time_and_chance/"&gt;Facebook Networked Blogs&lt;/a&gt; .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It reads...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"A dose of some good old-fashioned musings of a non-practicing bachelor boy about the meaning of wife... and a host of life's other nosey questions."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This descriptin looks promising and I intend to pursue it. But it remains a vision at the moment. Plus I still need to get permission from the wife. And maybe even our cat. And that takes time...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, well.
