Rants – Carl J. Rodakowski

Speaking Your Mind

December 10, 2024December 10, 2024 Carl RodakowskiRants

I sometimes find it hard to post on social media when it comes to things that bother me or that I think need to change. It’s not because I have people following me, such as friends or family, who I’m worried about offending or upsetting. It is rather the opposite, actually. It seems rude to post tirades with those who already feel the same as I. Why do they need me to rehash some of the junk they’ve probably been discussing with me again? It’s the rest of the world who needs to hear this stuff. I’m not famous. I […]

Tis the Season

December 2, 2024December 4, 2024 Carl RodakowskiRants

Perhaps this year, more than ever, a bit of cheer is needed. Or maybe, something pretty before the next year starts and we will not see … pretty … for sometime. I was looking around my library of photos and realized, I have pictures of quite a few Christmas trees we’ve had over the years. So, since I’m preparing to setup this years tree, I started looking back. As I gazed through the memories, I pulled out most of the tree shots and put them together in a gallery for everyone’s enjoyment. Enjoy the Christmas Trees Images. I really enjoyed […]

Disgusted with America

November 7, 2024December 2, 2024 Carl RodakowskiRants

I get it, the Democrats are not enough, the Republicans are to much. But to elect a person who is ignorant, racists, phobia driven, power hungry, a rumor monger, untrustworthy, a convicted criminal, delusional (and don’t forget egotistical), a turn-coat, homeland terrorist, fascist, and a puppet … is that really a good compromise? On the bright side we won’t have to worry about Russia or North Korea bombing us. So many of my fellow American’s think we should have this handy yes man who idolizes the leaders running our country at the helm. That should keep the nukes away. We […]

I Was Doing So Good….

December 16, 2023December 16, 2023 Carl RodakowskiRants

Honestly, I was so excited to get into the rhythm of updating my site. A new post a week, all that was becoming a thing. I have about two dozen, if not a bit more, posts I’ve started and just need to finish. I just love the concept of writing and updating the site. It really lets me get the creativity out of my system. But, things changed. In September of 2022 I’d gotten word that my mom’s current living situation wasn’t sustainable and she was at risk of “things” getting worse. Sadly, I was informed, that my family had […]

Looking Forward

July 27, 2022June 25, 2022 Carl RodakowskiRants

Today is not the date this post is published on, it is in fact the end of June. I’ve been reading the latest news about the US Supreme Courts ruling on Roe vs Wade. I’ve researched the actual ruling and read the current ruling. I’ve went through various comments, and articles, from both sides. What keeps rolling through my mind is: What is next? How do we fix this? What is this? And it is kind of in that order too. With so many things lately going on in the US, to some of us — on both sides — […]

Adding Perspective

July 20, 2022June 24, 2022 Carl RodakowskiRants

Even though Pride month has passed, I found these little tidbits scatter on the internet and just had to share. And since I am a firm believer in viewing life from a variety of perspectives, this both seemed so appropriate. Always trying to bring a bit of humor to your life.

Being Heard

July 13, 2022June 24, 2022 Carl RodakowskiRants

Use your voice! No, I’m not talking about going around and screaming at people, though that alone can feel mighty refreshing at times. What I’m really talking about is … what I’m doing here. This is my voice, my thoughts, my rants, and my take on our world. You should never feel afraid to speak up, say something, talk on a topic that you are either concerned with or interested in. I think the worst thing in life, for anyone, is being invisible. People can easily vanish from someone’s perspective. And in some cases, it might be a good thing. […]

Writing Marathon

July 6, 2022June 23, 2022 Carl RodakowskiRants

My goal was to get June caught up. I missed three posts and I was determined to bring things current. I have lots of drafts started, some further along than others. I found a couple posts mostly done and got them finished. Excuse the typos, I tried to double and triple check them, but I’m sure I missed several. If you didn’t catch them, here are the ones I added: Programmers are Lazy My Kids are Sick! Mounts in Games I also went ahead and created the post to end off the month of June. Another post I started and […]

Mob Voting

June 29, 2022June 29, 2022 Carl RodakowskiRants

I recently saw an meme that said something like, “Vote Blue No Matter What” and a soccer ball hitting the person’s face with Biden’s name on it. Are you fucking kidding me? We elected Dumb Shit who shouldn’t have ever been President only because, Republicans only know how to vote as a mob. Heck, just watch our Congress. Republican’s only vote as a single collective unit on anything. If one strays from the pack, they are quickly removed and/or reprimanded by other Republicans for breaking the “bro code”. Democrats, on the other hand, you can’t put two of them in […]

Mounts in Games

June 22, 2022June 24, 2022 Carl RodakowskiRants

If you aren’t a gamer, this little chat is probably not your cup of tea. For those who do game, you might find this interesting. Mounts. There is a game I actually really enjoy playing, but can’t stand logging into. The reason is simple. No mounts. The developers have now said that they will be adding them at a later date, the world is to small to warrant them being included at this time. Basically, they are saying, as they expand the world, then they’ll add it. Game designers … I really think they are cut from the same stock. […]
