Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
Thursday! the ‘first-girlfriend/boyfriend-that-you-don’t-go-out-with-anymore-but-still-wonder-if-maybe-someday-you’ll-end-up-back-together-because-you-have-so-much-history-together’ Day of the Week! Who out there does not like Thursday? Sure, it’s not Friday (the seems-pretty-hot-from-your-friends-description-blind-date Day of the week) and Tuesday’s kind of an agreeable Day of the Week, right? But there was always something about Thursday that had a sense of ‘ok, you got a big test tomorrow, but there’s nothing you can do about it…so relax! accept the inevitability of the process that you are in, you’re ready for anything!
Hey! Christine has decided to stop with the Annoying-to-Pointless April Blog Challenge because, she has a real life. Lets all go over to her blog, …‘A Fly on our {chicken coop} Wall’ and donate a ‘T Post’! Sure, in her Comments section! What a terrible idea! (Maybe we can convince her to stay in until Z, seeing how we’re bound and determined to stick it out, “hey, no! I’m ok to drive!! ‘long as I roll down the windows…and close one eye, come on, nothing to worry about, I’ll have you all safe at home in no time!!“)
…ok, now that my attention has totally wandered off into the woods, lets finish this here T Post here.
to any clarks reading this:
Consider the day that lies ahead of you (or, if you prefer, consider your day yesterday), it will be (and was) a series of interactions with people and institutions, strangers and loved ones, enemies and foes, right? For the most part, you enjoyed the occasions where there was sharing of information (for a clark, ‘knowing stuff’ that’s considered useful to someone else) and you hated (and dread) the adversarial interactions. Particularly those conflicts that involved rogers. You think you know why you feel at a disadvantage in these encounters? Well, let me make the following statement: ‘the overwhelming majority of our weaknesses are, in fact, concessions‘. These concessions are real, the basis for seeing them as necessary and valid is not. I think, I’ll leave it at that. clarks will sense what I mean, enough to question themselves (like we don’t do that enough! lol) perceptive scotts and non-ridgid rogers will say to themselves (or, in the case of the scotts, shout to a passing stranger), “Finally! they’re finally beginning to realize how much they make their own lives more difficult than need be!!!”
Short Post.
About clarkscottroger
You are a sweet one, Clark. I may be out, but I’ll be here cheering you on to the finish. May 1 is only a week away!
I laughed at the end of your paragraph. I’ve only said that to the clarks in my life about 100 times. :)
Oh, and FRIST! Boom.
FRIST it is!
lol
(clark! clark! he’s our…m… outsider!!! if he can’t do it! ..er then we will chose not to speak of it again!! goooo clarks!)
yeah, so near yet so… what the hell are the letters left? t.. U…W… V… X…and er
I got nuthin.
hey… don’t we have a Letter Exchange ghost-post agreement?! damn which letter did I offer (say it’s not U say it’s not U!! lol)
Geesh… I forgot. Why the hell would it be u when you’re sitting on a w goldmine? Its no big deal. Im not sure if im continuing.
no, I would give you the choice of letters, it was the letter I needed to ‘address’ over at ‘uncharted that I was sweating.
Um…I think you may have misunderstood…. maybe I did….anyway… either way if you want to thats cool…if you’re already doing too much its cool too.
Is Christine the only one of us with a brain? Anyway, I thought about yesterday’s Scottian post and I was just wondering if Clarks are the beta Scotts of the pack? There are some similarities there, you know.
very astute observation!
while there exists a certain continuum (of behavior and characteristics) among the three, one could argue the closeness of scotts and clarks. In fact, it is when we compare the three that we get some very interesting insights… in the form of questions like: which of the other two is it most difficult for one to be like, or as a clark is to a scott a roger is not to a scott… but, in the final analysis the twain cannot meet, we three stand in separate realities. which is not to say that we cannot aspire to develop our potentials…the Doctrine does allow that we all start with the capacity to experience the world as any and all… the problem is that it takes a young lifetime to get enough skills to function in just one worldview… ya know?
…since you are clearly in a higher level of appreciation of this here Doctrine here, you are aware, of course about secondary and tertiary aspects, no?
