One of my hobbies is knitting. So in my search for an interesting blog name, I worked through a number of different options which could potentially encompass what knitting meant to me. I finally arrived at the name tangible tangle. The combination of these two words somehow resonated together and spoke to me.
Knitting could be thought of as a series of twists and manipulations of yarn. Deliberate tangles, which at times come together perfectly, and at other times resembles somewhat of a mess. Below are some meanings for each word that may slightly illuminate what I'm trying to illustrate...
tangible -- to be touched or perceived through the sense of touch -- capable of being understood and evaluated, and therefore regarded as real -- capable of being given a physical existence...

tangle -- to make something become twisted together into a jumbled mass -- to catch and entwine something in something -- a mass of fibers, lines, or other things twisted together...
There is also a slight duality between the words. A tension of sorts between their meanings and their potential ...tangible implies a reality, a goal, something within your vision/sight that you can touch or attain, whereas tangle hints at a lack of clarity and definition, and of something being entwined within itself or within another object/s.
For me, life resembles a bit of a tangible tangle... which is perfectly fine "D
