So I have been waiting and waiting for tvs to actually be worth it quality to money ratio only to be always disappointed more with the quality than anything else. For the last 4 years not much has really happened in the market of LCD and Plasma, even if you see all that shit on LED edgelite craptastic blacks or bs NEOPDP wannabe Pioneer Kuro. So anyways, the problem has always been that the only TV in the entire market which is worth even a $ of your money was the Kuro but was so overpriced even then it was not an option for 99.9% of people. A sad day came in 2008 when Pioneer died and so died the only TV of substance.
2009 saw the first time where other companies on paper tried to finally do what Pioneer always did and I was hopeful. There was a point where I almost bought a Panasonic because they bought up all Pioneer industry secrets and tech and I thought those techs were being realized in the new products--LAWL. Nope, panasonic instead has fucked everyone and is laughing all the way to the bank. Right now there is a surgence in a brand new phenomenon in the plasma TV known as Black level doubling. Basically all the people who bought expensive, rich dark black plasmas are seeing their blacks change to as shitty as LCD computer monitors within 200-1000hours of use. How the fuck is that happening, well it has to do with voltage changes. As the tv ages the voltage changes are supposed to aid in aging and produce better colours and contrast for a longer time. Too bad the blacks are getting raped somehow by this and at this point no company (it is starting to be noticed in Samsungs too) have any fix.
Anyways this is my vent because I found this news out today and was sad because last year I almost bought the new G15s now only to see a year later I would have regretted it. Now seeing the new tvs at CES 2010, I can't trust being a first adopter to the new generation because it is obvious there is no way I can be assured of long term quality. Oh well, another 9 months+ of waiting for me until there are some long term tests done.
Aside-
LCD is still shittier than Plasma, more expensive, has more issues and are lower quality
Got my job offer today, great to get this post-college monkey off my back. The offer is for 60k and is where I interned a couple summers ago. I am probably going to take it since it is pretty close to home, and therefore close to Atlantic City where I plan to become a 2/5 weekend reg and eventually move to 5/10 and beyond one day. I really enjoy live poker since the skill level is the same as online but for 10x the money and it is a enjoyable social experience rather than sitting on a computer grinding it out. I started out with 500 and now it sits at around 1600 in about 40 hours of play at mostly 1/2. I don't start until Mid-July, so I probably going to attend WSOP and finally meet the LP ballers. If anyone is going to go to LAPC or EPT Berlin I may be going. I have a paper due in an hour and some more interviews so good luck in your grinds in poker and in life.

i'm flying to thailand thursday morning.. can't really feel that excited atm but I'm sure i'll improve if I Can get some sleep. experiencing insomnia in a big way atm lawl..
man today had a good ass day at nl25, made like 230+ in like 4 hours and i felt like playing mtt and placed third on 5k gtd for 675. disappointed i didn't get first. i think im going to start playing mtts more often since before this mtt, i haven't played any in months. but yeah this was kind of a brag post >< sorry but ne wayz profit for today, 900 bux. nice =]
I guess I feel I've beaten NL25 enough with my 55k hand sample. I'll be taking a shot at NL50 sometime in the next week, and grinding some more of NL25 now that I'm totally used to it, and feel comfortable with the limit. Kind of a lame brag, but I am insanely overrolled for NL50, and kind of anxious to dip my toe in the water. I probably will start with 6-12 tables, then eventually move up to 24 tabling. Here's results from my NL25 adventures.
All of these hands were done 24 tabling, over a period of 40.5 hours of play. Hopefully I can do the same at NL50 >.< http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/5876/asdftn.jpg
This win 100 buyins at nl2 is killing me now haha. Logged 23,000 hands for a $139.70 profit so far. My last 5,000 or so hands have been shaky...finally started not running too well (running into the tops of every opponents ranges) and just calling off stacks for no reason with not strong enough hands. I'm not worried though as I have come out a winner in 11 of 13 total sessions so far. I want to just move up but I think i'll stay strong to winning these last 30 buy ins before i go up to NL5. Anyways gotta get up in like 7 hours so I can go work my shitty winter break job at this supermarket from 10-6 tomorrow. Hopefully I won't be too tired so I can log like 2k hands at night, after hanging with my friends because it will be my last night here at home before I head back to school. That's all for now.
I look back. So many thoughts cloud my mind and I have yet to realize when it all began. "It" being the despair that, in this very moment, with so many staggering memories racing through my head, bars me from fluently typing exactly how and what I feel. When I dwell on the past, as I often do, I wonder: how did I become the person I am today? I search for happiness. I search for hope. I search for faith in knowing that one day I can become the man I know I am capable of becoming. Three days ago I decided that I no longer want to be the person I see when I look in the mirror.
Kind of an emo rant that I decided I wanted to turn into a short story as I have always enjoyed writing. Sound interesting at all?
