The Buried Life: "What do you want to do before you die?"

“If you had one day to live, what would you do?  Would you climb a mountain?  Would you kiss the girl of your dreams?  Would you tell someone how you really feel?  Now, if you had a lifetime to live, would you lose that drive?  Or would your list just keep getting longer?  Three years ago we broke away from the regular track.  We were fed up of racing through life without direction.  So we made a list of everything we wanted most in life and decided to go after it.  We left with a promise, that for everything we accomplished on our list, we’d have a stranger do something on theirs.  What we learned is that everyone has a remarkable story to tell, and to live.”

-Ben from The Buried Life on MTV



MTV’s finally got a good show that does good things for people.  These four guys push themselves to the limit.  True, watching four guys attempt to sneak into a party at the Playboy Mansion (extremely HIGH security) and sneak into a movie premiere to talk to Megan Fox doesn’t seem very. . . inspirational, except to the average teenage boy.  What is inspirational is that they go above and beyond to find ways to do the seemingly impossible.  They also really do help people in the process.  They’ve raised money to buy a computer for school children and helped a girl overcome her fear of heights.  I don’t think their goals in the past few episodes were to party with Playboy bunnies or make a move on Megan Fox (which was pretty entertaining to watch).  I think these guys do it just to see if they can.  They want to prove that anything is possible for anyone.  Please MTV, keep this show!
