OK, so I lied about the daily updates. Actually, I didn't lie...I just didn't realize how unbelievably slow my mom's laptop is. So for that, I apologize.
If anything, hopefully this hiatus will make you preash Preash that much more, huh? HUH!?
Anyway, the regular daily updates will return when I get back to work on Wednesday, January 2nd. Until then, get a life of your own. BOOYAH!
Some highlights (lowlights?) of the X-mas break so far...
-Watched the entire first season of Arrested Development (for the first time) (preash to Lucas)
-Began watching the first season of Brotherhood (preash to Nolan)
-Cooked a frozen pizza at 4:30 in the morning, and gave my dad 2 slices for lunch as he heads out the door to work (preash to DiGiornio Ultimate)
-Threw up in my mouth then swallowed it without anyone noticing after having one too many Jager-based shots at Pennison's Pub
-Rocked out with my big X-mas gift, Rock Band - so badass
-Had to say, at least 10 times, "We broke up."
-Told my dad where my keys were so he could move my car and get his out of the driveway and said, "Just don't touch my weed stash in the glove compartment." To which he replied, "Come on, dude. Share and share alike. It's the season of giving."
-Questioned my life after receiving a bag of Doritos and $15 in Taco Bell gift certificates as an X-mas gift
Sorry to all you suckers who are having to work without your daily Preash fix. See ya on the 2nd.

Preash: Flop-socks
So flip-flops are obviously the bomb. One of the daily chores that I hate the most is putting on shoes and socks. It takes too long; it annoys me.
It's winter and it's cold. That combined with the Oklahoma wind that comes sweepin' down the plain make for cold feet when I'm wearing flip-flops. But I can't just give them up!
So last night I made some custom flop-socks. As you can see, they ended up exposing the little piggies that went to market and the little piggies that stayed home. But all the other toes stayed nice and warm.
Just another day in the ghetto.

Preash: My Top 15 Albums of All Time
OK, so all this list is likely to get me is criticism. It's not like someone'll say, "Man, you've got great taste in music. Those are my top 15 albums of all time, too!" But whatever. I'm a fan of lists, and I've been compiling this one (if for no one else, then for myself) for weeks. Yeah, I'm that awesome.
These are my favorite albums of all time. Why 15? Because I just didn't feel right posting the top 10.
The criteria: I can listen to these all the time. They never get old. They have some kind of meaning to me, or some story behind them.
Keep in mind, this is not a list of my favorite artists. Some of my favorite artists/groups aren't even on this list. Take Outkast, for example. Maybe my favorite rap group of all time. But I don't feel that they have one specific album that stands out above the others. I appreciate their body of work more than any particular album. Same with Taking Back Sunday.
Update: Preash to Levi and Colin for introducing me to and/or hooking me up with some of the newer rock bands' albums.
Anyway, let's get to the list!
#15 Mae - Destination Beautiful (2003)
The laid-back, upbeat, slightly electronica rock band's debut album.
I downloaded this my sophomore year of college having never heard of them before. It was just a spur-of-the-moment download based on the album name catching my attention. Ever since then, I try to make it a point to download an album by a band I've never heard of, hoping that I can somehow randomly find another winner.
Favorite Track: "This Time is the Last Time"
#14 Notorious B.I.G. - Ready to Die (1994)
The grimey freshman album from the greatest storyteller in rap.
As a Houston kid, we got quite a bit of West Coast rap on the radio but very little East Coast. It took me a little while to get into this one. It's been my experience that a lot of albums I'm not really feeling at first end up being some of my favorites.
Favorite track: "Gimme the Loot"
#13 The Used - The Used (2002)
The self-titled debut from hard-rockin', often melodic, screamo band.
A standard go-to album when working out. Get's me pumped! Their drums have a really unique sound to me. And whenever a talented rock band can incorporate a strings section without it sounding forced, I'm hooked.
Favorite track: "On My Own" (or the hidden bonus track "Choke Me", if that counts.)
#12 Led Zeppelin - I (1969)
Another debut album. This from one of the most popular rock bands of all time.
OK, granted, this album is one big plagiarism. 8 of the 9 tracks are rip-offs. (Click here to hear a classic rock expert play the Zeppelin rip-offs and the originals back-to-back on the Howard Stern Show.) Still, it's an awesome album. Whodo thunk some white guys from the UK could make the blues sound so good? And to think they formed in '68, then made this classic the very next year. Many fans hail II as their favorite album, but I'm partial to this I.
Favorite track: "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You"
#11 2Pac - All Eyez on Me (1996)
The West Coast classic from arguably the greatest rapper of all time.
I would have ranked this one higher if it hadn't been a double album. Unfortunately, I felt like a few of the tracks were kinda weak and should have been cut. Still, so many great songs. And the history behind the genesis of it is fascinating. 2Pac was serving a one-and-a-half year sentence for sexual abuse. Suge Knight, CEO of Death Row Records, told 2Pac he'd post the $1.4 million bail if he joined Death Row. And the rest is history. If 2Pac hadn't been (wrongfully?) accused of sexual abuse, this album never would have come about.
Favorite track: "No More Pain"
#10 Eminem - The Slim Shady LP (1999)
Eminem's classic first commercial album.
I've been known to brag about how I "discovered" Eminem even before Dr. Dre did. When I first started listening to him, I pronounced him e-MINE-um and assumed he was a black dude. It's tough to beat Em's multi-syllabic rhymes. Anyway, the reason I think this album is so great is that a majority of the tracks were done before he even hooked up with Dre. I find the pre-Dre production to be better, personally. For example...
Favorite track: "Just Don't Give a F-ck"
#9 Rage Against the Machine - The Battle of Los Angeles (1999)
The final original album by the politically-conscious anti-establishment L.A. rock band.
I didn't get into Rage until after their time had come and gone, so maybe that's why this one is my favorite while most others prefer Evil Empire. This one's another automatic go-to on the iPod when working out. I feel like every track has it's own feel, whereas many of the Evil Empire songs kinda blend together in my mind. Badass album.
Favorite track: "Calm Like a Bomb"
#8 Dr. Dre - The Chronic (1992)
The most famous gangsta rap album ever.
I remember where I heard this album the first time. My buddy Matt Yurkanin and I got into his older brother's car and listened to it. I was awestruck by the amount of profanity and obscenity.
Favorite track: "B-tches Ain't Sh-t"
#7 Brand New - Deja Entendu (2003)
The sophomore album from the slightly-emo alternative New Jersey rock band.
Have you ever noticed that alot of their songs have a nautical theme. Just sayin'. Anyway, this album is chock-full of awesome songs, many of which start off really quiet and minimalistic and end up loud and raging. My friend Dave McCarl once called it "the best CD ever." It's up to whether or not to take the word of an Irishman.
Favorite track: "Okay I Believe You, But My Tommy Gun Don't"
#6 Incubus - Make Yourself (1999)
The first major-label release from the quasi-psychadelic West Coast alternative rock band.
The first rock band I got into. Believe it or not, before this album was purchased for me by a loopy female friend, I only listened to rap and R&B. Nothing else. This was another one that I wasn't that into at first. Catchy ballads and rockin' jams. Plus, a DJ on the 1's and 2's. And as John Stewart's character would say in Half Baked, "Yeah, but have you ever listened to Incubus...when you were high!?" Reminds me of freshman year of college. Also, Valenza does a killer impression of the band introducing their home on Cribs.
Favorite track: "Stellar"
#5 Death Cab for Cutie - Plans (2005) 
The first major-label release from the indie Seattle band.
As fruity as this may sound, every song is beautiful and moving. A very polished, well-produced album full of somber, yet somehow uplifting, songs. The combination of the lyrical imagery and the melodious music still manages to give me goosebumps (even just now, listening to my favorite track). I seriously doubt that anyone with half a brain could not be blown away by the genius of this album. Listen to the lyrics of "What Sarah Said" and try not to be wowed.
Favorite track: "What Sarah Said" barely beats out "Brothers on a Hotel Bed"
#4 Snoop Doggy Dogg - Doggystyle (1993)
Snoop's first album combines gangsta rap with g-funk soul
While Dre's album was aiming to be strictly gangsta, Snoop's album reflected his own personal style by adding a little bit of a laid-back soul/funk twist. Somehow, I convinced my dad to buy me this album. Then I made the stupid decision to read the comic that came with the CD at the kitchen table. My dad saw me reacting to what I was reading, took it from me, read it himself, and took the CD away. After that, I wasn't allowed to have albums with explicit lyrics. He once said, "If we're gonna let him listen to that filth and have it in my house, we might as well just paint the f word all over the walls!" I never understood that logic. Regardless, I found my ways.
Favorite track: "Who am I (What's My Name)?"
#3 Dashboard Confessional - The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most (+ So Impossible EP) (2001)
A full album plus an EP from the most successful emo "band" ever
OK, so I guess I'm cheating a little here, but so what? It's my list. The Places is so good, but I'm just gonna pretend that the four tracks on So Impossible were hidden bonus tracks. I mean, c'mon, I can't count an EP! Plus they came out the same year. Dashboard was my introduction to emo, and one of the early emo bands to emerge and gain popularity. The epitome of emo - a higher-pitched voice, lyrics about love and loss, occasional screaming, and an emphasis on the acoustic. This album is a must whenver I've come to the end of a relationship. Gay, I know.
Favorite track: "Remember to Breathe" "For You to Notice"
#2 Bone Thugs-N-Harmony - E. 1999 Eternal (1995)
The first full album from the Cleaveland quartet that gangsta rap with G-funk harmony.
Incredibly dark, thuggish beats from DJ U-Neek combine with Bone's signature sing-songy flow to create my favorite rap album ever. Another album on which every track is a winner. Plus, it's important to point out they each song has a feel of its own, which is rare for a rap album with only one producer. I got an older kid down the street named Roger to buy this for me at Target after the fallout from the whole Doggystyle incident. Probably the wisest act of rebellion I ever performed. When I finally got around to reversing the Intro on my computer and realized it was the lyrics to "Thuggish Ruggish Bone," it was like disovering the Holy Grail. I jammed the ever-loving sh-t out of this album back in the day, and I still put it on when I need to get pumped up for a good ol'-fashion drive-by.
Favorite track: "Mo Murda" barely beats out "Down '71 The Getaway"
#1 Say Anything - Is a Real Boy (2004)
The first widely-released album indie rock band from L.A. that can do pretty much any genre and make it sound brilliant
My favorite album of all time, by my favorite band of all time. Maybe the reason I'm still so devoted is that they haven't really blown up to the mainstream teeny boppers yet. Thankfully. They say the crazy ones are the most creative. Max Bemis, the lead singer and mastermind behind Say Anything, is bi-polar. That probably accounts for the sheer brilliance of this album. Every song sounds different. Some light, some dark, some slow, some fast, some hard rockers, some ballads. Max let's it all out on this album as he struggles with his condition. I will never get enough of this album.
Favorite track: "I Want to Know Your Plans"
So there you have it. My top 15 albums of all time. Let me know what you think.

The Internets: Clark and Michael
Speaking of Shane...
After sharing this with him for the first time, I realized that I'd never shared it with you, either.
Like Michael Cera? He's the young, skinny guy from Arrested Development, Super Bad, and Juno.
He and Clark Duke ("McLovin is a badass." from Super Bad) did a quick little 10-episode internet series called Clark and Michael. The humor is reminiscent of Super Bad, but less crude. A little dryer.
The premise: two young up-and-coming writers hire a documentary crew to follow them around as they try to break though in Hollywood.
Several recognizable guest appearances.
You can watch all 10 episodes in like an hour and a half. Or spread 'em out over several weeks, as I did.
Either way, if you have a sense of humor, you should enjoy them.

Video: Walk Hard is so underground!
Try to enjoy this contrived self-reflexive internet promotion for Walk Hard. It takes a lot to make me scoff at a "viral" internet video featuring Jonah Hill, Justin Long, Paul Rudd, and Judd Apatow. But this made me do just that.
Haha, so you make self-deprecating jokes about your shameless self-promotion WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY SELF-PROMOTING! This "clever" hypocrisy just annoys me. Making a joke of it doesn't mask your intentions.
I'd rather just see the stars say "Please watch Walk Hard. It's funny."
Shane "found this to be hilarious." I did not. You decide.
P.S. Sorry for coming off as such a dick. The way I see it, if there's on thing the "blogosphere" is lacking, it's cynical assholes.
I should probably go to bed.

TV: Bad Girls Club
One of these things is not like the other...
If you're not watching Bad Girls Club on Oxygen, you're missing out. It's the best reality show no one knows about. I was addicted last season.
The basic premise is they take a bunch of hot, loopy broads (and now one fat one) and stick 'em in a house together to fight and slut it up. In the first season, there was a scrap in almost every episode. The new season has just started, and it appears that they're right on course to meet that frequency.
It's produced by the same people that do The Real World.
The bummer is that I don't get Oxygen here in Oklahoma. The good news is that they appear to offering up abbreviated webisodes on YouTube. Crunk!
Please enjoy the first episode, broken up into 2 parts.

I've been waiting for something exciting and fresh to come out of the music industry for months and months. Preash, Pierce the Veil.

I got a pathetic 12 out of 18. Hopefully you can do better.

Music: Jay-Z on Zeppelin tracks
In a move similar to DJ Danger Mouse's The Grey Album, another DJ has put the a capellas from retired Jay-Z's "American Gangster" over Led Zeppelin loops.
TIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!
Download "American Zeppelin" now, before the link dies.

Preash: Boone on Ice
Due to not-so-popular demand, here is video of Boone Pierre Rawlings negotiating the icy terrain. He really is an inspiration.
Pre-dump - what a handsome young man.
Post-dump - note the proud glimmer in his eye.
Music: Led Zeppelin in concert
Led Zeppelin kicked off their reunion tour in London last night. Supposedly it was the bomb.
Here they are performing "Stairway to Heaven".

Game: Souvlaki Tetris
http://franksemails.com/shockwave/souvlaki-tetris.swf
This game's very addictive.
Skewer matching sushi creatures. If you get 3 matching creatures on your skewer, it clears them. Be careful, you can only fit so many creatures on your skewer.
BTW, the game's not in English, so all you need to know is that I think the first screen is the skill level selection.
Update: I got to level 58; see if you can beat that.
Chicks: Kristen Bell in the Princess Leia gold bikini
Check it out - pretty hot.
Kristen Bell wasn't on my radar until Heroes, but I guess a lot of people knew her from Veronica Mars. In her first few episodes of Heroes, I wasn't that into her...she seemed pretty average to me. By the season finale, I found her to be quite hot. What do you think?

Music: Pierce The Veil = the next big thing
The only thing that's holding them back is the "ie" and "ei" in their group name. Tough enough for a college grad, let alone a suicidal, angst-ridden tween who sees outcast as
*Outkast.
Anywho, I've been feenin' for another good emo/screamo/pop/punk/rock band to emerge so I can once again pump my fists and mouth the words, "I...f-ckin'...haaaate...yooooooouuuuuuu!!!!" just enough to creep out the MILF running next to me on the elliptical, while simultaneously burning off those holiday cals.
Pierce the Veil seems to be the answer. I watched the "Currents Convulsive" music video (the embedded video below) and was very curious, but thought they'd be too hard for my taste.
After visiting their MySpace page, I was quite impressed. From the 4 tracks I've heard from them thus far, each has it's own feel: from amped-up vocal pop-punk, to the emo/acoustic Fallout Boy-esque ballad, to the acoustic rock/R&B jam a la Babyface, to hardcore screamo.
These kids seem to be very capable of producing good songs of several differing genres.
The main dude's voice reminds me of Claudio Sanchez of Coheed and Cambria because of its vibrato quality, but it's not as high-pitched.
They're out of San Diego (loosely translated to "a whale's vagina").
NOW ROCK.
Campaign '08: Ron Paul on 20/20
John "Still 'Stachin'" Stossel interviews Republican Texas Congressman/presidential candidate Ron Paul on controversial issues like drugs, prostitution, and gay marriage.
He seems to be big on giving more power to the states and less to the federal government. Everything he says in this interview sounds very good to me.
A lot of younger liberals have jumped on the Ron Paul bandwagon, but I'm still skeptical.
I'm guessing that the rest of the Rep. candidates are loving him because, since there's no way he'd win the Republican nomination, he's just steering younger, open-minded people away from the Democratic party.
But what do I know? I just do what Oprah tells me to. (BTW, how about the size of Mrs. Obama's bottom half, huh? I mean, holy shit! She looks like a stick-side-up candied apple. She looks like Cinderella's evil stepsisters. It looks fake, it's so ridiculous! She puts the bad in badonkadonk. Also, Oprah so wants to be her role model, Maya Angelou, it's sickening.)
Game: Blackjack Fever
Here's a fun, simple little blackjack game. You start with $500. A time-killer and good way to sharpen your blackjack skills.

Preash: State of Emergency
Oklahoma has declared a state of emergency. Everything's frozen and it's supposed to get worse. Right now 1/3 of the state is without electricity, and there's no telling when it'll be back on. It's the worst power outage in the state's history.
Worst of all, Boone's afraid to pee or poop outside because all the grass is covered with ice. When he finally did piss this morning, it just collected in a pool and soiled his back paw. He walks like he's going across hot coals when he's out there. It's quite humorous.
Crazy, man.

Both of these guys went into the fight undefeated. This was in the 10th round.

--Shitty Pun Alert--
Michael Vick was sentenced to 23 months in jail. That's ruff.
WTF!?: Master P's latest masterpiece
This is the music video for Master P's "Gutta Time".
Language NSFW
Forget pointing out their lack of ethics, blatant racism, and violent tendencies! The real way to ridicule the KKK is by showing them getting "crossed" (count it!) and dunked on by some dirty south thugs.
And the twist ending rivals that of The Usual Suspects. Wow, powerful.
Not since the Wu-Tang Clan beat a gang of skinheads in a round of Texas Hold 'Em has modern racial tension been so accurately portrayed in a music video. Word.
Newsish: Rachael Ray's a bitch
Not chocolate.
So you may have heard before that despite her shiny, girl-next-door exterior, Rachael Ray is actually quite the bitch, and possibly racist. (See this)
Well, looks like this lady went to the show and can confirm it. Check out her tale.
