Bucket List

I know there are so many better things to worry about than stupid blogging or silly stories. A Republican has been elected into Massachusetts keeping the health care issues from ever being resolved. There are problems in Haiti and New Orleans. There are so many economic problems we can’t even begin to count. Yet, these stupid blogs and silly stories keep us going. They keep us from thinking about all of the insanity in the world and how much it sucks. The entertainment industry was booming during the Great Depression because it was a means of escape. I hope that I can provide that through this ridiculousness we all face.

With that I begin to talk about a new MTV show. MTV has always been known and will always be known for their horrific shows where a bunch of teens are spoiled and rich and have huge parties when they turn 16 or where a bunch of dumbasses who want money compete for a cash prize. MTV began the reality show phenomenon and they are holding up their end forever without once thinking about quality. Until now. A brand new show has hit MTV called The Buried Life. I remember seeing a commercial not too long ago thinking the show looked pretty cool. I watched it yesterday and I think MTV has hit new heights with this show. The premise of the show is simple, yet well done. The show consists of 4 young adult males who drive around North America in a crappy bus with a goal of completing 100 things they have on their bucket list. Along the way, they help strangers achieve one of their goals as well. The first episode consisted of the boys trying to sneak into a Playboy Mansion party as well as helping a school receive their first computer. Yes, the Playboy thing is silly and totally MTV, but the boys also helped a school. They danced on the street to raise the money for a new computer. Very touching. The show has to have some dumb aspects to allow it to be aired on MTV, such as sneaking into the Playboy Mansion, but what they do in return for the community or a random stranger is pretty freaking awesome. Makes me want to get out there and do something similar, minus the Playboy Mansion part.

Anyone want to join me?
