Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
Yesterday I read somewhere that the key to getting a good ‘google score’, (when writing an article or blog Post), was to have a Compelling Title, followed by keywords relating to … er personality types, and self-improvement and such ( Wakefield Doctrine!!). The writer seemed quite sincere. Which begs the question, was it the writer’s sincerity in wishing to help me or was the innate quality and value of their advice the reason I am bringing it up, today…at the beginning of a Post?
*
In any event, the thought expressed in today’s Post Title is one that I am sure most blog writers, many Readers-of-blog Posts and a certain percentage of the-personality-theory-creator-guys out there can identify with… and therein lies the problem. How can I deliberately and consciously set out to write a Post that most, if not all Readers will enjoy? By ‘enjoy’ I mean:
- laugh out loud at the Shatner thing
- smile at the Title of the Post
- go back to a section and see if you read it correctly
- feel bemused, amused, confused
- decide that today’s was a good one, even if they overdo the bullet point thing
I mean here I am, facing that dreaded (for clarks) sense of being watched, worse it is the act of deliberately putting oneself in front of other people and demanding their attention. Like looking out from backstage, seeing the audience (one person or 300 people, doesn’t matter…what matters is which side of the curtain you are standing on) and walking out anyway. And despite the clarklike trait of knowing that everyone out there is about to recognise that I am bad, not good, wrong and different!
* Readers with good visualization and a good ‘ear for voices’ will find this funny… you know how people will use the phrase , ‘blah, blah, blah’ to comment when the speaker is getting predictable or boring or overly pedantic? Well DS#1 and I were discussing some arcane inference of a part of the Doctrine and I did a self-inflicted ‘blah, blah, blah’ except in my head I had James T Kirk in full over-acting-mode say the words ( you know, one arm crossed, the other extended, torso slightly bent over… tight-in focus on the face? “Blah….Blah Blah”

Hey Clark! Odd? Oh come on…. Really?
…I see your point, to invoke the notion of oddness when discussing the worldview of clarks! lol sort of like running up to someone and saying, “I just got back from the shore, and I suppose it has never occured to you but let me tell you, that ocean? very wet”
Shatner’s last Raw Nerve . . . (shouts at Spock) ” I said NO pickles on my StarBurger! I will note this in my Captain’s Log! If you would have mind-melded me, you would have KNOWN THAT!”
lol
