Not much for words as now seems a good time to think and reflect. The closing of 2008 and once again a new beginning. This a crucial year, a crucial time, a defining moment. Attention to key elements will prove to be essential in the attainment of success. Establishing goals, harnessing power through focused thought and persistent application, keeping in tune with self and those who are most important; ambitions that resonate with influential clarity.

One life, one chance; simple enough. Sometimes it takes something as simple as a minor injury to remind us to proceed with caution but not to walk. Varying perceptions, perception change and the advantages of awareness to them; a reoccurring thought of late that seems far too important to ignore. With one life to lead it seems we might emphasize doing what keeps us feeling alive. Perhaps dance more often, sing, hug, gather, share. A new quote was part of a discussion that blossomed from a mutual recognition of the beauty of writing; pure self expression. Reiterating lack of coincidence diverts more thought towards understanding symbolism, especially through self.

The latest observation: John Lennon 820 symbolism

A fellow journeyman wrote in response to the previous post, "It's like looking at everything again for the first time... Regardless of bad or good there's always some beauty behind it."  True indeed.

Perception change; an oft overlooked means of appreciation and understanding. Incredible as the perceived remains unaffected while the perciever's entire understanding of the observed can change with profound immensity; as perceptions are infinite. In a majority of conventional artistry the artwork tends to have a point of completion; strangely enough a website doesn't have to. A continually developing and evolving piece of art, an intangible yet indelible evolving thought reflecting life and growth.

How extraordinary it was to see so many people come together to have a great time in a tribute of love to a friend. Everyone involved with the 1st Annual Will Rickert Memorial Scholarship Flag Football Tournament did a wonderful job organizing and being a part of an event that really couldn't have better expressed the power of the man that was Will Rickert. Friends of past and present reunited with the number 54 across their backs and made a seemingly normal November day into a proper memorial and appropriate way of keeping us together. You couldn't help but laugh to think about how he would have enjoyed it. Pretty sure we all could envision it as we relaxed and enjoyed football all day in the very same place he and other PHS greats had played before, with and after him.

A few words from 'Transcend'
Just type with free style free through these black keys; time freeze, tick fast, travel swiftly
Through this time-space, on these rhyme waves; telepath your soul connect while you have days
Close the door, its late, and sound travels quickly; tomorrow never promised as this life within me
Talk slow choice words, thoughts fluent simply; reflecting, yet none can explain these
To audio: Collie Buddz - Blind to you

Welcome to bnapoli.com 3, the third chapter of a digitally evolving life guidebook. Human beings and the earth evolve with such incredible beauty, its only natural for our online presence to evolve concurrently. The origin of bnapoli.com is deeply rooted in a belief that self expression is fueled by powerful artistry, innovative technique, conceptual longevity and personal ingenuity. From this Connecticut perch I merely document the times, evolve with the world and express some thoughts through whichever creative outlet suits my mental vortex.

Learning from each other and those who came before us plays a crucial role in creative reasoning. All great minds were ridiculed at least once in their time; for it seems much easier to go along with what seemingly is than to investigate what may be. Only by learning what is wrong can we discover what is right. Realizing I knew nothing opened the door to discovering everything.

There are no coincidences
Thoughts of a great man consumed my mind late one October night in 2007. A chapter ended and subsequently began, the page turned and I wrote: "Who knew how far one could touch with the mere wingspan of a man. If you couldn't realize before perhaps now you can." Through this invaluable moment and the many that followed and preceded it - I began to understand what it really means to change the world. Our unmistakable power as human beings to alter the landscape of the future is so beautiful no words can touch it - and rightfully so. Some things don't deserve to just be explained, they simply must be experienced.

Through our connections with each other and more importantly within ourselves can we discover the purpose of life, to love. We're all just a piece of the same thing. The Earth is just as much a part of us as we are each other. We're a highly complex organism, a sequence, a pattern, a vibration - constantly moving, changing, growing and evolving. There is no silence, there are no coincidences, music is beauty, you can feel colors and there are so many things happening all around/in you that it just might blow your mind to investigate it for yourself. The answers to the important questions lie within.


Exploring this very website as early as two weeks ago would have resulted in the typical belly laugh you'd expect from your old chum bnapoli.com. Yet this time, your giggling would be followed by an unusual surprise. You'd have noticed the left side of your screen was covered in large blue links containing some rather disturbing pornographic phrases I'll choose not to repeat.

Hacked you say?
It's true. What gain is there to be had from a collection of grade school hijinx, photos and chronicled ridiculousness? Not too much. Hackers spam links to porn websites on innocent webspace to accumulate meager pay-per-click advertising revenues at the expense of web developers such as myself.

Both disgusted and humored by the occurence, I decided to use this comical situation as an engine to rebuild a once thriving community of jestworthy notes and laughables. Though the tone here may have changed considerably since 2003, the fundamentals of the original bnapoli.com remain intact. We've all simply evolved. In the past few years, globalized social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook emerged into the social media; overtaking online presence and occupying considerable amounts of time in the lives of our generation. With an overbearing presence of these outlets, a concept like bnapoli.com might no longer seem as innovative as it was in 2003.

I'd like to think this website may have pioneered a similar idea even before these networks were developed - but nothing is to be gained by debating the idea. Instead, I use the thought as motivation to move forward. A thorough believer in everything happening for a reason, I'm glad things have played out as they have. For now, I continue to advance in pursuit of that which is powerful and inspirational to me.
