Saturday and the Wakefield Doctrine a theory of personality you can sink your teeth into

 

A Scotsman, an Englishman and an Irishman are sitting in a bar in New York reminiscing about home.
“Back in me pub in Glasgow,” brags the Scotsman, “fer every four pints of stout I order, they give me one fer free!”
“In me pub in London,” says the Englishman,”I pay fer two pint’s o’ Guiness and they give me a third one free!”
“That’s nuthin’” says the Irishman, “Im my pub back in Dublin, you walk up to the bar, they give the first pint fer free, the second pint fer free, the third pint fer free — and then they take you upstairs and you have sex for FREE!”
“Is that true?” asks the Scotsman. “Has that really happened to you?”
“Well, no,” says the Irishman, “but it happens to me sister all the time!”

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine!  This thing is so efficacious it’ll make you puke.  No, really!  the Wakefield Doctrine does everything those other personality type idiots claim to be able to do, except that this is the real deal. I wouldn’t lie to you.  Now those other  people who write these Posts, them guys say ‘you got to understand this, and you need to appreciate that…fuck that.  They’re right  and  it will work like they say, but that don’t mean nothin, if you don’t use it right and have fun, whats the point?. But… if you do use it right, you will have the edge on everyone around you right now and everyone you run into later on…unless you find someone who already knows about those Wakefield Doctrine people,  don’t worry about nothing, you won’t, cause they’re probably sitting in front of a computer somewhere indoors.

What the hell good is something if it doesn’t: a) get you more of what you want, b) let you take less of what you don’t want or c) get you laid? Huh? What!

I was such an ugly kid that when I played in the sandbox, the cat kept covering me up.

I could tell my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and radio.

(Rodney Dangerfield)

But you better pay attention…this Doctrine thing is good, you need it and we have it…pretty simple, isn’t it?

Real quick:

  • you see people the way that you do, the way that they are  (for you…)
  • people see you the way that they have to see you, and that’s because of the way they are…
  • the trick is…you are both right
  • the Wakefield Doctrine lets you know how the other person thinks that the world works…maybe the same (as you) and maybe different
  • if you know how they think the world works that gives you an edge over them, ’cause they don’t know that there are other ways to see things…like the leopard can change his spots.
  • …and the best part is, chances are, they don’t know why you know what you know…they think you believe them!

So there ya go. The Wakefield Doctrine. good tool…fun thing to do and a whole world of people who will never see it coming.  Have fun!

Thursday Morning, Wakefield Doctrine, one of the three personality types… it should all be self-explanatory

 

The Wakefield Doctrine here. Hello. Happy to see so many smiling faces on the other side of the screen! No, I can’t really see anyone out there, but I know that you are there, the glass keeps fogging up!  Must be the scotts getting themselves worked up over the thought of something new to chase.  Sorry to disappoint, nothing here to chase, but lots of news and insider information.
Did you know that the original scott, was and still is, an accomplished artist? He used to draw these cartoon things back when we were all in the college dorm. Well, he and the progenitor clark were in the college dorm, I was just visiting. Although eventually he, scott that is moved out of the dorm and we found a place to live for the band that he was in at the time. So long ago that all was.

Before you get any more involved with this Post, I need to tell you a secret. This Post is trying to ‘sound like’ it was written by a roger, but it’s that clark  up to another one of his tricks! So don’t be fooled. Or maybe you should pretend to be fooled and we can all see how far he is willing to go to push this jalopy farther down the road. So play along.

In any event, the original progenitors or better to say the original three friends whose names are used in the title of this personality theory by the numbers were real, living, breathing, sometimes shouting friends. You should have been there! Or there should be a way to go back and do a flashback episode of the beginnings of this theory of clarks, scotts and rogers. We would have to make a choice, if we were going to try that. Do you want to have like, black and white original-looking film clips? Like Ken Burns goes to RIC?  All jumpy and un-steady camera, edits that make no sense… scenes that hold way too long while a voice that sounds like a guy pretending to be Chip Monck  does the narration.  We could even have letters to home  no wait!   phone calls…it would have to be phone calls to each other because no one wrote letters in the 60′s and 70′s. Heck, in the 60′s and 70′s there were only pay phones in the dorm, in the drugstore and in those superman phones booths with the folding doors!  ( “hey, ralph broke down with all the equipment in the back! get your parents car we have to get this stuff out of here!”)

Or the other approach would be to do a modern version of the story with real actors and modern production techniques.  Nah, that wouldn’t work…so much of the story of the Wakefield Doctrine namesakes has to do with and is embedded in the mid 20th would never work. How do you convey the sense of groundless hope,  enthusiasm without restraints? mindless optimism and trust that you are on the right path for your life even when you don’t even know about the concept of ‘looking up ahead’?  the original scott? total energy, enthusiasm, talent, live now! the roger? confident, talented, able happy to to trust the future to what he believed he knew about the world, the clark in all this? running…running to stay ahead of something, running to get to something running because there was no world around him that made sense and he was trapped by the idea that it all was supposed to make sense.

Go figure.

(But the movie of clark and scott and roger go to college? totally like the idea)

Mid-Week Report: the Wakefield Doctrine can even tell you which is your Favorite Day of the Week!

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

First Annual Wakefield Doctrine Post-writing Contest Update: we expect to Post our first Contest Entries by week’s end.

(For Readers just joining us), the Contest is open to all who would write a Post with the phrase, ‘a dead balloon is a dead balloon‘ in the Title.  This Contest is open to all who want to enter, as long as you send us your info and (the link to) your Entry no later than April 13th.
The Grand Prize is a DVD of ‘Tin Man’  and will be sent to the Post that is voted by Readers ( and secretly judged by the secret judge) to be most: funny/clever/interesting/amusing and/or significantly cool.

Did you know that with the Wakefield Doctrine you can understand why the people in  your life act the way that they do?
You know what we mean, that behavior that leaves you saying to yourself, ‘Now why on earth would they feel it necessary to say a thing like that?’ or how sometimes after going out to some social affair with your boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/husband and as you drive home you keep thinking. “I really thought I knew them better than that!’

Well, those are the kinds of situations that happen to us in relationships, all the damn time. And depending on our own personalities, we either try to ignore it or get into a fight over it or even feel bad as if it were, somehow, our fault…our responsibility. If you are tired of feeling this way or want to maybe do something about not having to feel this way, then the Wakefield Doctrine can help! Do one or more of the following:

  1. Read this blog until you understand how the Wakefield Doctrine can help you
  2. Write us a Comment and demand to know how we think we can make such extravagant and un-substantiated claims
  3. Grab the person who is causing you all this grief, sit them in front of a computer open to this Post…right now if you can!
  4. Hey! you! you are causing aggravation to a person who has come to the Wakefield Doctrine for help! Listen to us…Stop it!  Now!  (read the following step)
  5. Now put that other person in front of the computer you are reading this on…now! and do not try to go to another site”.
  6. OK, you are on your way to understanding the people in your life, especially the person you just made get up from the computer ( the one who is now saying, “What are they saying about me! It better not be something bad“! Ignore that and read the next two steps.
  7. The Wakefield Doctrine is a way of understanding why people act the way that they do, it is fun and it works… (“tell them you are almost done here….and that we think they are really great, but misunderstand people”)
  8. With the Wakefield Doctrine, you will not only understand the people in your lives but you will understand yourself way better than you have ever before….(“…almost done, tell them we are almost done“)
  9. There is only one thing about the Doctrine that you need to know, if you want to deal with the people in your life…
  10. the Wakefield Doctrine is for you, not for them…. ( “OK put that other person in front of the computer and write us a Comment….later, after they have left”)
  11. Hey, you are really alright…what?  no, no they think the world of you and they totally know that you have a tough time getting the people around you to understand just how hard it can be! We know that, and believe it or not, they know that…but you gotta do us a favor… encourage them to come back to this blog and read it everyday. Will you do that for us?  Great! We knew we could count on you!!  Now put that other person back in front of this computer…oh, one more thing   the Wakefield Doctrine has hats and if you write a Comment, we might send you one! Really… now get up and give your seat back to them“.
  12. …all set!  Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine.

Senate Health Care Revision to include: “Participants will be required to make Medical Records available to FaceBook for efficient sharing of information among care-givers” the Wakefield Doctrine

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

Hello.  This is the blog about the Wakefield Doctrine, which is a way of looking at people, personality and behavior that is kinda unique, quite useful and totally fun!

Why spend time at this blog instead of any one of a thousand better-produced, professionally written websites that have charts and graphs and shit?  Simple. This ‘personality theory’ will make sense right away, it does not require a Harvard Dean to explain things to you and will allow you to see yourself in a whole new light!

But there is one catch*
This blog is being written as much for the fun and enjoyment of the people already involved in it as it is to attract new Readers. As a result of this approach, the Wakefield Doctrine is not a slick website, with a lot of flash and graphics, we have nothing to sell you,  there is not a section of celebrity endorsements and there is nothing resembling an  Easy 1-2-3 Steps to Enriching!! Your Life!!.

…this blog is simply the story of the Wakefield Doctrine, how it came to be…what the principles are and mostly….mostly this site gives you an insight into the conversations among the people who use the Doctrine in their lives and have fun with it as they ‘self-improve’ themselves’.

Just so no one thinks we are weird, we do like ‘bullet point lists’ so lets try that:

The Wakefield Doctrine blog will:

  • capture your interest if you can understand the basic concept of personal realities
  • immediately give you a totally new way of looking at the behavior of those people in your life
  • give you a tool to change the things about yourself that you have always wanted to change, but all the other systems failed at
The Wakefield Doctrine blog will not:
  • cost you money
  • make you feel stupid as you try to learn to use it ( and don’t those others always insist that ‘it didn’t work because you did not understand it properly”)
  • be replaced by the next new fad in self-improvement…there seems to always be something newer, shinier and more famous people attached to….( or something like that  lol )
Well, that’s all I have for you today.
Hey!  You want to know one more way the Wakefield Doctrine personality system is different and better?  We have these ‘call in’ times where people call and ask questions and argue and yell and laugh and stuff….and we are doing one today at 4:00 EDT  ( the number to call is:  218-339-0422  access code 512103 # )
Go ahead, surprise yourself…give us a call.

 

* yeah, ain’t there always a catch?
