Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine, the most effective way to understand the behavior of the people in your life!
Thanks a lot, Mel!
I was originally planning on taking today off (from Post-writing) and devoting whatever free time I could find to working on ‘the Book’1. But then I had to go over to Mostly Teachable, our friend Mel’s blog. And today he wrote a Post Titled ’10’. The thing of it is, his Post is built on the ‘List of things (someone) should know about (someone/something) else’ schtick.
Damn! It was a good Post and I am a total sucker for that particular premise. (In Mel’s Post, the tipoff is in the ‘sub-title’: ‘9.8 Details Guys Want Women To Know’ )
Since I clearly will not get back to the real work until I get this out of my system, following is:
7 Things About the Wakefield Doctrine That You Probably Should Be Aware Of, (before you order a Wakefield Doctrine Tee Shirt for this Summer)
- once you start to see the rogers in your world, you will not be able to not see them
- most of the people in your life will not get (or be amused by) the Wakefield Doctrine and for reasons that even we don’t understand, you will persist in trying to get them to see how much fun it is!
- most young, lets say those under the age of 23, do not know what you mean when you say, “Alright, lets meet at the mall at quarter to one” (Seriously, they don’t! And it is all the fault of digital readouts!
- old people (ages 75 plus) will pretend that they understand the Doctrine, but don’t really…even the clarks
- Jennifer Love Hewitt is a clark,
- …the number of people who understand and apply the principles of the Wakefield Doctrine entirely on the basis of the information available in this blog is equal to the number of people who learned it directly from me… (aiyeee)
- we do have hats (for your damn head), we will make arrangements to help you with your class project (provided it is about the Wakefield Doctrine)
1) the Wakefield Doctrine book, of course! Targeted at those in the human services/helping fields, i.e. social workers, therapists and such.

“7.” So as not to to be mislead…
just an aside:
Weaver… the new David Byrne? (Talking Heads) For you youngins google it. Or go to Youtube and
search “Stop Making Sense”
what do you mean by “directly”? do you mean in real… as opposed to through wired through the Internet blog / network thing-y? Seriously… how else would we learn about the doctrine (except through the your co-founders roger & scott)?… good you had that put out of your system… not confusing at all (it’s actually not for us who know what you’re talking about)… I am babbling now so I am gonna focus on my music for now ^_^
(remind me to discuss the concept of ‘fever creeps’ sometime…very common experience, (not so common a topic of blog Post)) lol
As the ‘new’ generation of people who know about and (apply) the Principles of the Doctrine, you are the belle weather(s) of our efforts here!
….cool
“Fever creeps”… I actually like the sound of that – lol. Now I gotta say that it’s been a couple days full of very nice words from you, Jennifer and other doctriners (I know this is not a word, please give me the right word to use :P)… as well as some of my classmates. It is a good feeling I tell you… well obviously, since I am writing here… anyway, just felt like sharing the good vibes ^_^
What sort of meta sorcery is this? Combining Rivers Cuomo and a beloved Green Day track? Chocolate meets peanut butter. Done. Thanks for the shout back, and for the 7 educational truths about the Doctrine. I’d mention that it’s somehow always my fault, but my wife made me quit saying that as automatic Eeyore defense mechanism. 500 words, got it.
Glad you enjoyed the Weezer …we have ‘the Youtube’ to thank for that musical occurrence…( hey, maybe World Peace and the cure for cancer will be the final legacy of the 21st Century… but as for me? ‘the Youtube’ is all you can ask for in a bright shiny future… )
btw just kidding about the ‘500 words’ although… any thoughts on jobs and aptitude (vis a vis the 3 personality types) is always welcomed!
(Speaking of the food industry)…right now the thinking regarding ‘natural aptitudes’/occupations:
waiter-roger waitress-clark
chef-roger short order cook- scott
and
maitre’d –roger hostess-scott
Make that Weezer not Weaver. Must’ve been thinking of Beaver… lol
