Please read the forum manual (click !).
It will teach you how to properly post code, and ask questions in an efficient way so people can also answer you in an efficient way.
I have to assume you connected the LCD correctly, that is as you described in your code.
After initialising your display, you're in setup.
There you are attempting to control the contrast of that LCD of yours (that is what the code says).
If you connected Arduino pin 6 to LCD pin 3 (contrast), then you are not doing this the right way, and controlling the contrast will be a big problem.
Just use a potentiometer between pin 3 of the LCD and GND, and DO NOT connect it to 5 volts.
Your LCD-library works exactly the same as the serial connection (so that is by design).
Why do you think you need to send your data in a different way to your LCD, as that is what you are trying to do now.
There's more remarks to make about your code (what's with the huge delays, and why do they need to be that exactly timed, for instance).
But i'll leave it at this for now.
Still please also read my signature below.
