To HDTV or Not To HDTV ...

that is indeed the question. I know this problem doesn’t even to compare to a lot of unsavory crap that people have to deal with on a daily basis, and if this is my biggest problem for a long time then I will consider myself one lucky dumb white guy. Basically, I want a new TV, but I also don’t want a new TV. Make sense? I feel like a one-eyed cat in a fish store. I am driving myself crazy agonizing over the decision. Do I want Plasma? LCD? DLP? What kind of resolution do I want? 720 or 1080? Does it have a HD tuner integrated into the set or do I need to buy another tuner? How big of a screen do I want? 42 inches? 46? 50? Do I really want to see 50 inches of Paris Hilton? Do I want to order online and have it delivered? Do I want to become a professional goat masseuse? Hey where did that come from? Bad, bad, bad stream of consciousness; you are grounded mister.
After doing a little research online and at Best Buy I decided to order a Samsung 46-inch DLP TV from Amazon. Part of my research method also involved the consumption of several adult beverages. It is a tried and true method; you should definitely use it in your line of work. So to set the record straight, your honor, it is midnight, I am slightly buzzed, I am an idiot, and I have fantasies about a threesome with Smurfette and Jessica Rabbit. Ahhhh, only if you could order that online. Alrighty then. I woke up this morning at the butt crack of dawn, and it was like I had a one-night stand with a serious barker. I had severe buyer’s remorse. So I got up and rushed to the computer first thing this morning and cancelled the order before it had been placed.

For now, no HDTV for Mr. Shife, but that can all change after the consumption of several adult beverages.

Have a great weekend.

  1. I'm glad that you are back to blogging again. I was listening to my "Live at Billy Bob's" CD the other day in the car and thought of you. I still have no one down here who understands just how great a band RCPM are. They are actually coming back to my neighborhood at the end of October. So excited!!!

    Smurfette is a slut, think of all the STD's she probably has from being the only female!

  8. Is HDTV worth it yet? In my area there are only a few HD channels so the rest of the time you're watching regular cable that doesn't look so good on an HDTV. I'd love to get a DLP but is the money worth it in the end to get spectacular looking television 2% of the time? Maybe it is different where you are from but I'm going to wait until the cable companies catch up.

  9. I just love that in a few years, we won't have a choice to HDTV or not. Freakin' government mandates.
