Some of you (Necronoctopus) may know that the Smashing Pumpkins have kinda sorta reunited. And that a new album is coming out in two days. And they're starting a tour on the 7th. AND, that they're going to be on Letterman tomorrow.
What you may not know is that they've done a "residency" in a small town in North Carolina. (I'm gettin' to the point y'all, I swear to you.) A 9 night stay, with 9 shows in Asheville, North Carolina. My effing HOMETOWN*.
I'm currently in the other part of the state for school. My friends from back home told me NOTHING about the SMASHING PUMPKINS playing on of our po-dunk, but well loved, venues. Not a word did they breathe to me, not even my own sister.
I told you all that to ask you this.
Think of a time when someone you care about let you down. Did you feel at all vengeful when that happened? Do you imagine buying them balloons for their birthday, then sucking the helium out of said balloons one by one, leaving none of the good times for your friend? I'm totally doing that on my sister's next birthday.
*The town I grew up in is actually north of the city, but for all practical purposes, that's my turf.
