Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
Well! there’s a week, (or so), remaining before the beginning of the ‘Hay ‘n Seed April Blog Challenge’…and I’m all, getting into character and such. No! don’t laugh! Just because I’m a clark, doesn’t mean that I can’t capture the spirit of a really fun month of blogation! As we say in this here Doctrine here, if you use the Wakefield Doctrine to better understand the people in your life, you can’t avoid learning something about your self. So, the rogers… the people over at the ‘Challenge’, they’ve been doing this for a fair long time and there is much that they suggest in the way of promoting my participation here at the Doctrine. Admittedly, I’ve missed a lot of what is recommended to make this a successful participation, but I did get out and introduced myself to my list-neighbors* (See, Dyanne? clarks are capable of being…er outgoing and all!) In any event, yesterday morning, I went around my List number (yeah, the whole college dorm-suite metaphor)….and introduced myself to my fellow A-toZenans. Met a rather nice person, a certain, zannierose, who has a blog called ‘the Artist’s Way‘ like right ‘next door’… #1233
I should be promoting this thing more, as I get closer to the Start Date of April 1st. That way everyone in the ‘sphere will be talking about the whole thing and I’ll be accepted into the bosom (woo hoo!!) of the online writing fraternity …. sorority! no, huh? lol…. I can hear Z now…spitting out her coffee in an excellent Danny Thomas take, all over her computer screen. Well, I’m still going to do this thing, one way or another. I have letters that have not yet, (been) assigned, words! Anyone wishing to participate, well damn! come on down! you can sponsor a letter or, if you want, you can write a guest Post! (some restrictions may apply**)
Ok… best stop here. I’m not a young writer anymore, (actually, I was never a ‘young’ writer…. I started when I was old. yeah, clarks do have a bit of the Merlin thing going on), best I conserve my words for the big fight!
* the list of participants?!? it’s frickin up to 1300 plus!! hey!! 1200 block!! yo!! (we’re at 1232 on the list 1232-on-the-April-blog-challenge-list motto: ‘oh, I’m sure those blogs in that part of the list mean well, and a lot of them are here on special scholarship…no, lets not linger!!…. I have an invitation to the ‘1-115 list blogs kickoff party’!!’)
** restrictions that apply: the word chosen (on a given day) must be defined, used, presented, whatever, in the context of the Wakefield Doctrine, or, at very least, be one of the main themes of your (guest) post. Now, this being the Wakefield Doctrine, we will say, do not let your ‘not knowing the Doctrine well enough’ get in the way of volunteering! If you read today’s Post, you will remember that: ‘if you use the Wakefield Doctrine to better understand the people in your life, you will not be able to avoid learning something about your-own-damn-self “*** so if you enjoy our little personality theory and you are of good intent, we’ll certainly look over your application to write a guest Post!1
*** man! quoting myself from within the very same Post…. I got this Berries-and-Cream Challenge nailed!
1) ….ewww (sorry, trying to get my roger on)
About clarkscottroger
Very ambitious! I am not participating but I WILL be doing a guest post at My Virtual Vineyard for the letter ‘N”. I’m interested in seeing what you come up with here. Thanks for the Mr. Kite – I can never get enough Beatles.
here’s a shocker (nearly*) everything will be related to the Wakefield Doctrine (or referenced or referred to…whatever)
*am allowing myself the opportunity to write whatever at times
Im glad you decided to do this… it should be fun… does that mean you still do W for me? Or is that gonna cause an aneurysm or something? I dont wanna cause any duress. You can come to the 116-500 party if you want…. just tell them you know a roger at the door…. pick anyone in the room and name them….
(kinda of slow today)…. hey!! are you in the under 500 Suite!?!? (or are you being modest… and under 200) (…and yes, you’re correct, I get into these imaginary things and no, I am not in the least tempted to go look people up…would take the fun out of it, non?)
Im in the 400s… it changes a bit as people drop out …. some are concientious little rogers and let the establishment know before they create a dead link…. I was 444 not Im 44? I cant recall….
I dont stick to my neighbors I tend to hop around every day… If I like a name I go check it out… I am a wanderer by nature.
yeah… I tend to look for interesting names (said the guy with ‘the Wakefield Doctrine’ as reader bait…lol)
444?! I would pay money for that place (on the list). (there is something about that particular number, it attracts me like no other number)
Val tells me Im 433 now…. why 444? What’s the deal?
really don’t know where 4:44 (for me) came from…. but it’s ‘oh man! it’s 4:44 am/pm’
Musta been in a previous life.
now?!?!! or then….
You’re a better roger than I am right now. I did sign up, but haven’t introduced myself to my neighbors yet.
….thank you(?) lol
hey! where are you (on the list?… I’ll come by*)
* why, yes, I am enjoying the dormitory metaphor!
The creepy 1313!
lol oh man! ( kinda cool number… would totally trade you numbers!) (curious about your listneighbors… will have to get by there later…. no! I won’t embarrass you or anything (“…hey!! you 1300 block-bloggers! you be nice to Kristi!”) lol
OMG, I don’t know what number I am and I can’t it. I found Zoe and Christine and Josie and you, but I guess I’m not going to any party.
I found mine by the simple expedite of looking at all the blogs on the list that they have of the Catherine-to-Zeta Blog Challenge…. took a while. lol
Yeah, well I did that and it is not there. I contacted the admin and they don’t know what happened to it either. and I woke up this morning and there’s a new comment. ohoooooooooooo! Something spooky’s going on. I’m going back to look again.
I’m number 1366 now.
hey! that’s like right next door!
Good for you! You made nice with the neighbors! I haven’t done it yet (now feeling guilt-ridden). I also need to get busy on getting a few posts written. Have fun with the A to Z. And remember, they don’t use the word “challenge” lightly.
Hey!! you gonna be there?! (you’ll no doubt be in the scottian section of the list*)
I’ll drop by…what number are you?
(*the table in the cafeteria that always had more space than any other (probably due to the absence of textbooks and such) and there was always am empty seat at this table….which didn’t require a degree in Brain Science to realize was simply a trap…. scotts hate being bored….. although clarks have always enjoyed their scotts, but most of us had the sense to not take the bait, unless it was late or there was a game or cheerleader practice and, for whatever reason there was only one scott at the table… then it was worth the risk to sit there)
Cheering section here…
RAH RAH REE kick ’em in the knee!
RAH RAH RASS kick ’em in the other knee!
lol
