‘of chi squares and video brunches’ the Wakefield Doctrine ‘…don’t worry, this will be over in 3.00687285223 minutes.’

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

images-17

According to Research, the average number of words in a blog Post is 551.25. Today is the kind of day that has more things to do than time to do them. As all writers of blogs know, content is king. And new content is kinger. So I will Post this Post even though it is 6:41 am and I need to leave the house at 7:34 am.

This is what Julie DeNeen refers to as a niche blog, i.e. a specific subject, as opposed to a personal blog which is more related to the Writer’s life and times.

The subject is the Wakefield Doctrine and the purpose of the blog is twofold, a) to present the Wakefield Doctrine as (a tool) for understanding personality types, behavior (our own and that of the people in our lives) to as wide an audience as possible and 2) develop my ‘presentation skills’ written and verbal through these Posts, participation in blog hops and other activities and video chatting.

(damn! this is boring!! and I’ve used up 182 words of my 551.25   shit! (hell with the rules of rhetoric)

hey, have you ever felt on certain days that you were invisible?  no, really!  like you’re with people and it’s not just that they don’t speak to you, but you can see that they are not ‘recognizing’ that you are even there!  or… even though you have on your best outfit, heels ‘n makeup are perfect and you are with a group of people and you can’t buy a reaction…don’t you get this feeling that you really need to hurt something… or maybe you are work, you have an office to run, and there is that one employee who insists on working hard and is nice, no matter what you say… doesn’t it feel good to see the look on his or her face when you lash out and they get that expression of puzzled defensiveness?

If you can identify with any of these here imaginary people here, then the Wakefield Doctrine might, just might be something that will change your day today.  maybe.  if you have the …intellectual flexibility, the confidence in your own reality to try something that says,”‘hey! you want to see something really cool?”

so with the weekend approaching, if you won’t be surprised at finding yourself thinking: “I don’t think I want to go through all that effort to go out…it probably will be a waste of time” or “if that husband of mine would go back to being the guy he was when we were dating, then all this work wouldn’t be so…” or even “how many times do I have to talk to her, I explained why I didn’t find the idea of going there this weekend and spending all that time… I don’t understand what I need to do to get through to her and the kids.”

The Wakefield Doctrine is a unique, productive and fun way to understand the behavior of the people in our lives. Never again find yourself saying, I really thought I knew them better than that!

( 23 words to spare! …damn what should I say…   hey Cyndi! Denise!  Considerer! Michelle! Melanie!  Julie!  video brunch coming up… yeah Terrye! you too! (Hey Christine... Kristi  come on! it’ll be !)

Well, what exactly do you want to know? Whether I am a clark or a scott or roger? If you have to ask, then you need to keep reading the Posts for two reasons: a)to get a clear enough understanding to be able to make the determination of which type I am and 2) to realize that by definition I am all three.* *which is true for you as well, all three...but mostly one

    Video brunch? Consider me in (lol)

    Who’s the violent one?

    (have you tweeted (twitted) yet? That may help you practice the short-sharp-with-razor-wit post.

      @Considerer

      I twitter the Post… but I am sadly unsk @ twtng a msg myb i cn lrn (dsylexic haiku for gen21)

      more to follow on the Video Brunch it looks to be a fun time…talking to all these interesting people from all around the damn globe… (we will figure a time on the weekend where nobody has to wake up at 3am or stay up ’til 3am to participate.)

  2. Oh, I can so relate, Clark. The feeling can be more pronounced as a writer online! LOL! Thanks for sharing!! Looking forward to the video conference.

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      @Michelle

      …we’re thinking maybe a Sunday morning (for us in the US… which would be early afternoon to those to our right* and early evening for you guys to our far left*!)

      * when viewed from above…lol

  3. Oh did someone say video conference!! Seriously though, I couldn’t help by love the picture from the Food Network’s Food Network Star Show. Love that show. Ironically, Kevin and I were just catching up on it last night from our DVR. And now I am left thinking of all the wonderful creations I could come up with and yet can’t get my kids to nap for beans. Oh well, it is so going to be that kind of day here, god help me!!

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      @Janine

      yes, somebody indeed say video conference! not this weekend but next weekend! playing with days/times but Sunday morning (for us on the East Coast) seems to be the best time to allow our ‘over there on the other side of the Atlantic Friends not feel silly eating French Toast too late in the day and our Friends to the far east (Michelle) who will be enjoy perhaps Brinner (Breakfast dinner) lol

      I love those three cook stars! I mean if we didn’t already have the Wakefield Doctrine we could call it ‘the theory of Alton, Giada and Bobby’ lol they be poster kids (I am serious, there is a vid I used once of the three interacting and I would swear they read the blog first for the kind of repartee that exists between them.

    Thanks for the synopsis on the doctrine :)

    Most of my posts are right around that length although lately I’ve been struggling for words!

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      @Kate

      you are welcome… I am struggling with time to keep up with the blogs that I enjoy and try to follow, it seems if I stay right up with them (meaning I catch them as they are Posted. I have better luck keeping up.

      Hey! you up for the video brunchina?

  5. I guess my blog posts are outrageously long compared to the stats you provide. Could it be that I simply have no control when I start to write? Perhaps a video blog would provide me ample time to talk exceptionally fast in a short period of time and get the point across! Nawwwwww! My wife is leaving for the weekend (yeah, just the weekend, damn it!), so my only thoughts will be of the joys of solitude without her asking if I’ve already paid a bill twenty times. Good post, my friend!

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      @Rich

      lol (As they say) these stats are for comparison purposes only, your word count may vary. Truth me told, I think my average word count is closer to 950 than it is to 550. (not counting this one, of course)

      good to see you back on the scene! the video thing sounds like it might be fun, will keep you up to speed as it develops

  6. Video brunch? Harumph. I hate brunch anyway.

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      @Tracy

      lol damn! excellent take-away! ( “…wait! wait! oh baby why you gotta treat me this-a-away!” )
      lol perhaps… a Wakefield Doctrine Official, nearly-free, docTee? could entice you to throw down your cereal bowl and sit at your computer. ( I’m aa confident as a scott that any metaphorical passerbys would be all, ‘ooh dee, your apparel causes me to feel envy!’

      (of course, I need to see if I have any scottian female tees left in stock)
