I was expecting this blog to be written by a person who was “Doing Time”. We have had the homeless blogger, why not the inmate blogger? I thought that this blog would be about daily life and what not. Then I saw that this blog was in the Humor category and considered that it might be different.
The page loads with a header of a man behind bars giving someone the finger. Then there is the nice little quote of “Rehabilitated? Now let me see. You know, I don’t have any idea what that means.” from the Shawshank Redemption. I got that right away. The site has a black background and white text which is very prison like.
The posts are about things that has happened in The Trashman’s life as he remembers them or as were told. They are real stories, with only the guilty names changed. I find it hard to believe that the stories are mostly real, but then again, keeping up this charade would be hard to do.
The posts are about extremely weird and violent things that one would probably never do. Yet they are written with a certain comedic tone to them that you almost have to laugh at the situation rather than gawk at it.
I could go on and on about the posts and stuff, but I don’t want to spoil anything for you. I enjoyed this blog from beginning to end and laughed numerous times. The best way I can describe this blog is that this guy is blogging his life as if he was the main character in Grand Theft Auto.Doing Time
