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

Seeing how we have a Guest Post Writer on tomorrow’s ‘Guest Post Thursday’a Guest Post’, I wanted to write a quick little Post to get in front of y’all, just in case you did not know, about:  a) the Guest Post Thursday or 2) the fact that you will get a kick out of it, being a writer with a scottian worldview.  Reading this, (as I write it), makes me think I should be talking about scotts  in this here Post. But then again, (I think, as I consider what my own response to what I read, having just written it), I’ve gone to all the trouble to find a Post from a couple of Summers ago, to run as a re-print and besides, what can I say about scotts that I haven’t already said?

All right, if you insist.

What we call the scottian personality type, here at the Wakefield Doctrine, is simply a term, (and, a rather cool one, at that), for a person who has grown up and developed and matured in the reality of the Predator.  scotts are quite easily identifiable, first and foremost by what we refer to as ‘the gaze of the scott‘….male or female, it is unmistakable. (think of every nature film you’ve ever seen…the ‘sleepy lioness’? eyes seemingly  unable to keep themselves open?  surely she is about to collapse unconscious, right?  yeah, right. who wants to run up and steal a cub?  come on!! she’s half asleep!!)  This is not to say that scotts walk around with their eyelids half shut, they do not. This is to say that scotts are never not paying attention to whats going on around them in their immediate environment.

(As a people), scotts are fun and funny, sexy and stupid, energetic and prone to sloppiness, great friends and horrifying adversaries. In a crowd or at a social occasion, the scott will be on the move, constantly, however they will stop from time to time  and gather a circle of people (the scotts in the center, of course!). they are the ‘super moms’ and the guy who will get the cat down from the tree (even if that means climbing the tree and dragging the frickin thing down by the scruff of the neck), scotts are natural dog trainers, but  prefer cats to dogs for companionship, they are hard workers and natural leaders, action is the preferred response…to everything!  There is an old saying, ‘a scott alone in a room, isn’t’.

You want to know how cool this Doctrine is?  You want to know how we seem to be comfortable making claims like, ‘with the Wakefield Doctrine you will know more about the other person than they know about themselves‘?

If you’re a scott reading this, your second response, upon recognizing yourself in this Post, is to ‘look around’….literally or metaphorically  you will check out your environment to see if this is some kind of ‘set up’. You are now smiling, but in a way different from when you read the preceding… you definitely are interested, but you have this desire…no, make that need,  to challenge  the writer or anyone available….just to be certain (of who or what you are dealing with).

…you know, like that.

So stop by tomorrow, for Guest Post Thursday Guest Post
