X! -the Wakefield Doctrine- veXing!

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

X

As sure as the sun rise, baby

…in the tradition of bloggers, since time immemorial (or, say,  2009), I’m inserting a music video in the hopes of stimulating my ‘hey-it-meant-something-to-you-a-lifetime-ago-why-wouldn’t-total-strangers-get-something-out-of-it?’ gland and try to finish this Post.

(ed note: of course, that was the Allman Brothers, back when everyone was alive and it (‘Not My Cross To Bear’), was a staple of the dorm playlists. dormitory music motto: ‘the place one’s parents paid a lot of money to live in,  that sounded like those big city apartment scenes in most crime movies, pretty much just before the good guys almost catch the bad guys, but manage a decent shoot-out nevertheless‘ )

Still, nothing for the letter X….

while we wait, let me suggest you go and visit our friends posts, they’ve written something interesting.  Go see Val and Kristi, then head over to Dyanne and  Zoe’s and, even though she’s pulled the plug on the ‘Again-and-again April Blog Challenge’, stop by Christine’s place.

…awright! 163 (words and counting)

I’ll forgo the odd X words:  xylophone, Xylocaine* Xanthippe** xenophile, X Chromosome (lol…no, not a word!)

So! That was a fascinating Post!

You know, it was originally my thought to compile this series of posts as my ‘ok, here’s a pre-rough preliminary draft of something I really should try to get on-line published‘.  The idea being that it would offer an overview of the Wakefield Doctrine, in a format that is ‘accessible’ or, at very least, familiar to readers. There are a couple of Posts I may need to rewrite, but the sense I get is that, the interesting thing about this here blog here is the process, the conversation that has developed and evolved. That’s not saying that the Wakefield Doctrine is not ‘standalone interesting’ but, since I’ll be the first to admit that what we have here is chance, anecdotal, yet still a rather fresh insight into personality and behavior, I should not try to write a ‘real book’.
If, however, I persist in my ambition to produce something that will stand alone and allow a total stranger to read once and acquire an understanding of the Wakefield Doctrine, sufficient to either:

  • a better understanding of the people in their life or, failing that,
  • enjoy the experience of seeing (the)  clarks, scotts and rogers that populate their world, all acting just like the Doctrine says they will!

I better frickin do it. That wouldn’t be a bad thing, would it?

OK! you’ve convinced me.  Couple of more Posts to conclude this rogerian slow-motion train wreck and then I can start vexing myself over the horrible problem of compiling this thing into a ‘Begining-Middle-End’ work of literature.***

 

* no! really! this is what I found when I went to check the spelling (spellcheck has a problem with a lot of X based word), no word of a lie:

“Causes numbness or loss of feeling in an area of your body.
Given before and during surgery, childbirth, or dental work.
Also treats emergency heart rhythm problems. ”   (is it just me that finds that sequence of concerns amusing?)

** wife of Socrates… a real cut-up, according to ‘the Wikipedia’… the things we learn on bloghops!

*** yeah!  I did, in fact, use the L word in reference to this here blog here…

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

    And frist.

    Well, if this little challenge offered you the springboard to a published literary work, #psychology today #personality theory without colors #completely original, it has a value I never anticipated. Good for you. Never, will I write a cookbook. (Never say never, but I may give up cooking and eating for awhile.)

      It seems only logical (and, no, not only do we never really leave early adolescence, or perhaps it’s more appropriate to say, ‘we are easily convinced that this world is that world’)… “well, gee!! all my friends are writing books!! Why can’t I!!”

      It has always been my (I refuse to use as rogerian a term as ‘mission statement’)… goal from the start of the blog that all I had to do was write the perfect Wakefield Doctrine post and I could stop.*
      and ‘the Perfect Post’ is defined as: a post that a person with no other exposure to the Wakefield Doctrine can read and gain a thorough enough understanding to be able to see the clarks, scotts and rogers in their life that very same day… and have fun doing it!

      *the blog has been most curious in that the energy coming from writing the blog has always, from the very first post, been greater than the energy I had to put into writing posts… a total ‘Ding an sich’ that I still look at the things I’ve done in service of this blog that I would not have imagined doing

Am I missing something? Im sure I am as I usually am! ohohohohhoh…. cuz the sequence is not heart , childbirth, surgery , dental and extraneous numbness? I dont know what Im talking about… I got nuthin said in a lot of sumthin today.

      That was the contraindications provided on a ‘sidebar’ entry when I went to check the spelling (it included ‘trade names’ Lidocaine’ and ‘Raininspainocaine’

    So, in case you miss it on facebook, I thought of you all weekend and then wrote about it. Not the thinking of you–that was mentioned but is not the subject. I’m going to go read up on Xanthippe now.

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      where?? (I couldn’t find it on ‘the facebook’) was that in the TToT??
