Otto Update...Birthday curse starting already

 Hey Everyone,

  So my birthday is only 5 days away and my luck has already turned to shit. I had a friend build me a new computer as my old one was 15 years old and held together with duct tape and bailing wire. It cost me $600...money I'd been scrapping together for awhile. Another friend hooked me up with a great huge new monitor. Well I switched yesterday to find out this new computer runs on HTMI not VGA...so none of my monitors work on it, so I'm borrowing a monitor just to be able to put this out. So I need to find an HTMI monitor which are literally the brand new ones that cost an arm and a leg. The monitors I had are now worthless trash. I've tried adapters but 0 out of 9 worked. Once I return this I won't have internet, movies, news or this blog. I will be cut off. I wasted $600 and am looking at $200 for a new small monitor. Also the operating system isn't working so I had to switch my old one over. I'm pissed. I don't think my friend intentionally fucked me over...but he did fuck me over. Now I won't have access to the Internet unless I can find a free brand new monitor of the HTMI type...fast. And since they are brand new...no one has an old spare. And I don't know if the new Hard drives are ever going to work...so I'm using my old one that is full. 

  If my life is getting this screwed 5 days before my birthday I don't want to find out what's going to happen next. My pain has been exceptionally bad lately too. I have no clean clothes. I'm broke as a goat now. At least I'll have a frozen TV dinner for my Bday instead of going hungry but that's the only good news I have and that could change. Maybe I'll get lucky and just finally die. One things for sure...this will be my last post unless I get a monitor so good bye until then I guess.

    I can borrow this HTMI monitor for a few days. It's my room mates though and I have to return it. I've also discovered the Windows is malfunctioning or not properly installed. I'm ready to throw this computer out the window.

    I found an adapter that works...so the monitor is figured out.

    Glad you got something working. Sucks that you're having such a hard time.

      I saved for a year to be able to get this...my last computer was well over 15 years old. I wish I'd saved the money now. I'd be eating food on my Bday.

Truth Bomb By OVD : Ukraine (Proxy) War updaye

 Hey Everyone,   So the war in Ukraine has been bloody but not much has happened the last month in regards to land controlled by either side. The HIMARS are doing serious damage to Russian command and supplies and they only have 4 of them. The Russians said they took them out but that has been proven to be a lie. The only reason Ukraine isn't dominating and taking their land back is the west isn't supplying enough. It's obvious the west IS considering this a Proxy war. That means their goal is to bleed Russia by keeping the war going. This is why the Ukrainians are not getting enough support. I warned of this but now it's clear that it is the case now.    There is talk of giving them 30 HIMARS and F-15's, F-16's, F-18's(Hornets are used by the USMC like the A-10's) and A-10's. But it's just talk and these will require training. Maybe next year is what I'm hearing. Thousands of Ukrainians will die because of these delay's. Also if the Repu

Truth Bomb By OVD: Ukraine war update

 Hey Everyone,   So the front lines haven't moved much but the fighting is fierce along the whole line. It's still winter but spring is around the corner so both sides are gearing up for spring offenses. The newly promised Tanks from the west still haven't arrived and there isn't enough of them to make a difference. The Russians are losing thousands of Troops but their real purpose will be seen soon enough. You have to understand Russian war doctrine to see what the real Russian plan is. So lets talk about that. The Russians throughout history have used the same playbook. They invade or instigate a war thinking they will win fast. Then they lose badly as their forces are poorly trained and corruption ensures they are poorly equipped. They respond just like they are now by conscripting massive amounts of men and plugging the holes and holding the line. The second unsaid part of that is these conscripts are also being used to keep pressure on their enemy and use up their

Truth Bomb by OVD : Personal update

 Hey everyone,   If anyone is even still reading this...My feeling of isolation is getting bad. Really bad. Being cut off from Facebook was bad enough. I haven't heard from a lot of friends from real life for more than a year now. Twitter helped and I made some new friends and was able to connect to a bunch of fellow Veterans. That's gone now too. So now I kind of drift from day to day with little to no contact with the outside world. It's demoralizing to say the least. I'm down right depressed and don't see any future for myself anymore. I've always been a very social person and now I have no way to reach anyone but this and the numbers of people that even read this anymore has dwindled to a couple. Soon I'll probably stop bothering with this either.    My pain levels are through the roof. I got only an hour of sleep last night(and why I'm typing this at 5 am. Pain meds and pot cookies combined didn't help. My left leg is now starting to get as bad
