Default Ground blind or treestand?!?

I know this has probably been asked 500,000 times. I can't find a thread readily available on it, so I figured I'd ask one more time.

<u>Personal info:</u>
* Complete total newbie to bowhunting.
* Have been practicing like crazy in backyard and pretty much &quot;got it down&quot; and can group Easton XX75 #2315's 125gr. in and around bullseye at 10 yards. Currently trying 15 and 20 yards.
* PSE Centerflite (lefty) bow is 40&quot; axle to axle (65lb., 30&quot; draw).
* First time <u>ever</u> going out bowhunting.
* Don't have a tree stand.
* Don't have a clue about tree stands.
* Don't have fear of heights, but have paranoia thinking about the laws of physics and whether or not a tree stand will support a 6ft 210lb man without crashing down.
* Considering a ground blind and also enhancing it with brush, twigs, leaves, etc...

It simple terms, 25 words or less, could someone explain the pros and cons of a tree stand versus a ground blind?

Thanks!!!!
