Here are your differences:

LED and Plasmas (new ones) will get you the greatest life on your tv; around 100,000 hrs.

Plasmas will be your best for watching high def sports, blurays, and gaming, due to their much higher refresh rate and deeper black levels.

An LED is still an LCD TV, just better. It will give you deeper black leves (though not as deep as a plasma), while giving you a much thinner TV and one that is more energy efficient.

A standard LCD will give you a shorter life, around 60,000 hrs, and will not give you quite the quality image that an LED, and especially plasma, will.

Oh, and if you only watch HD TV then the highest quality picture you'll ever get is 720p. 1080p only shows its colors with blurays and gaming. So, even if you HAVE a 1080p television, you won't ever actually use it if you're only watching TV.

Great stuff Dwood, appreciate it. Once I get situated at the new place, I'll be firing up NCAA '11 and getting deep into a dynasty. So my gaming should increase. Also, I haven't been watching my blu-rays much because my old TV was an HDTV, but it wasn't HDMI. So I didn't feel the need to go through the trouble of loading up a blu-ray. That's excellent to hear that the 1080p will shine with blu-rays. I ended up going with the 1080p LED.

As for the restaurant, I only worked lunch shift today. So NEITHER of the 2 girls I want hit up for information were there today. I'm so pissed. They better be working lunch tomorrow so I can get a status on the brunette. I need to be a date or two in once the Tennessee-Alabama game gets here. It would be nice to have a girl with me once all my friends get into town for that weekend. That's the one time I hate being single.

Ha, hopefully they're working with ya tomorrow. I had a girl from work talk to one of the girls today at their class, had her put a word in for me so I gotta try and be on top of my game tomorrow night when she's around. No deadlines, though, which makes it easier. Just gonna see how things go.

I love doing this, it's hilarious. You speed up just enough to where the guy doesn't have the room to get in front of you because of a slow car in front of him. I had one guy screaming at me thru his window when I was going down I-85 to Atlanta...

Re: Off Topic 2010

I have to admit it's kinda cool to hear you young guys talk about your strategies with girls and what you're doing to try and hook up. Reminds me of my day way back...

If not, this whole deal will take a lot more time. She works a lot of lunch shifts just like I do but she let someone else take today's and tomorrow's. I saw the shift sheet and was like WTF? Could have already been working on that **** but no, she's gotta trade off.

Your situation sounds like a good setup.

Doesn't help that the girl and I didn't really talk the one time we worked together on Sunday, so it, apparently, took a moment or two for the girl to think about who I was. Gotta make a good impression next time.

Ban these people. Way worse than spider pictures.

Re: Off Topic 2010

You know what's hilarious? Matching the person's speed so they both can't pass you and can't get back in where they were. Then there's this badass head-on collision with the car coming towards you that totally has no idea someone's in their lane and then everyone involved in this awesome accident is almost certainly dead or missing limbs afterwords.

That's my brand of fun.

My favorite not on the list:

When behind a school bus, treat it like a pace car. Move back and forth in the lane, "keeping your tires warm". Recommended for neighborhood riding.

She started to play some games that I didn't find to enjoyable. One night she's texting me all night about how she wants me there and how she has this "weird super chemistry" with me. Then we barely speak for the next two days, things got weird and then she tried to pull the age-old "I want to keep hanging out but I don't want to hurt you" line and my response was laughter. She didn't take too kindly to that and we are no longer speaking.

She was a much needed confidence booster, though, so she served her purpose.
