Everyone once and awhile BS stations like MTV strike gold with a few of their reality shows. Although they continue to pollute my mind with Jersey Shore they come across a couple gems. Thank you MTV for World of Jenks and Buried Life.
I initially thought these shows were going to be full of garbage. But after watching an episode of each I have done a 180 so to say.
The Buried Life is about a group of 4 friends that are on a quest to check things off of their bucket list. But while in the midst of doing this they help someone else check one off of theirs. While this sounds simple it turns out to be so much more. They are allowing people to accomplish things that they never thought possible. And I think it's a great thing. They may do some stupid things but in the end I feel the positivity they are spreading.
But this post was inspired by World of Jenks. Jenks is a film student and spends a week living with different people. This past episode he spent a week with Anthony "Showtime" Pettis. A professional MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fighter. Now I will not pretend to know the most about MMA fighters but Mr. Pettis was a pretty good guy. He was genuine and was family oriented. It was just enlightening. I can be pretty pessimistic about the world and tend to see the bad in people but I didn't focus on that with this episode. This show has helped to show the little bit of good in everyone.
