NO PARTICULAR ORDER : Bennett Media's Christmas List


"In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order."
- Carl Jung

What a weird and fascinating year. I don't wanna say it was hard because that all but guarantees that next year will be either less interesting or noticeably more troubling. But I'm being overhasty because a year isn't a year until the Christmas Cheer finally penetrates that thick hide and forces you to take stock in the jolliness of your holly. If your heart is of normal size, This Will Come Naturally, and fortunately for us it does. But because we had a second-class Summer and a noisy Halloween, we're a little haggard and halfhearted in our jubilation and are very much in need of a little goddamn peace on earth. 

This will be a season of serenity; free floating ponderings of no particular order, presented in a new and continuing series titled NO PARTICULAR ORDER: a big booty of lists absent of any hierarchy within and without themselves, proffered extensively throughout December and hopefully beyond. And that's it, that's our Holiday plans: banging out random TOP 10s, seldom addressing the reindeer in the room, and keeping things generally breezy. We've laid down our arms and surrendered to chaos - and you know the thing about chaos...

We hope you join us or even participate in the trivial topics we'll be tackling by leaving comments somewhere. Or just be making a mental list. Or not, whatever, we're not gonna stress over your bullshit on top of everything. Just leave it on the doorstep and get the hell outta here.
