Public Parody And Mockery: My Peter King Moment

The Internet is a varied landscape that approaches dystopian hell far more than utopian bliss. For every person online that likes what you do there’s many more that hate you or that don’t or won’t acknowledge your existence. If you create content on the Internet, you will receive some praise, but you will also receive angry emails and hatred in the comment sections. Peter King, the senior NFL writer for Sports Illustrated, is a prime example of this. He does a column every Monday called Monday Morning Quarterback, or MMQB. It’s his take on the NFL, rules, upcoming games, news and has some personal anecdotes sprinkled in. Every Monday KSK does a Fun With Peter King column, where he gets torn a new asshole. He takes it in stride and even retweets some of the venom that is directed his way. Some think that’s a douche move on his part, but I for one, find it interesting to see some of the bile that is directed his way. I suppose it’s part of the cost of his level of fame. He’ll never make everyone happy, and will always have detractors.

Recently, I’ve had some what you could call struggles in my personal life. My job situation has become tenuous to say the least and my future position and stability is balanced, shakily, on the edge of a deck of cards. [Edit:Redacted] Needless to say, I’ve not been in the best attitude as of late. It happens to us all though, but unfortunately my life is quasi-public. Now I get to feel the little stabs of “humor” that is mockery. New to the world is the Twitter account @EmoGally.

Well, Bravo good sir/s. I don’t know who is running the account, though I have my suspicions. The account is funny, or at least would be to those that don’t know me, though has crossed a line once or twice. I’m now sorry I didn’t just drink my face off and shut the fuck up, bottling everything inside. I was never mopey enough to warrant this, though I suppose I did start it. In a couple of moments of self parody I labeled a few tweets as #emogally. So I suppose it is my fault after all. I guess that you haven’t “made it” on the Internet until there’s something solely set up to mock you. So this is Internet infamy? Not as much hookers and blow as I would have expected.

Some Choice lines from the project below.
Do candles come in black? Can they emit black light?
I don’t care. Whatever. I’m going to reread New Moon while watching the movie. Multi-moping today.
Please don’t make fun of Twilight. Stephanie Meyer is the only woman who truly inderstands my life.
My favorite hobby? Watching myself cry in the mirror
So, in Soviet Russia..Does Love find you? :*(
@TheGallyBlog Dude. I know the feeling of being Lost. It’s like emptiness and sorrow. I just want to grow my hair past my eyes, so bad.
