the best to you each morning!

Sunday!!! SUNDAY!!!!SUNDAAAAAAYYYY!!!!!!!!!

Who doesn’t love Sunday?  Damn, is that the tough question of the day?  clarks!  are the ones who don’t love Sunday.  The question is so simple as to border on being insulting to you the Reader.  And if I were you, I wouldn’t take that kind crap from anyone.  (Actually that’s a lie, clarks do take that kind of crap from everyone.  But today is not about clarks.)
btw… the cereal above?  Grape Nuts?  Very near inedible…I mean really, nothing more satisfying in the morning or evening if you are a college student, as I was in the memory that prompted using this photo.  Grape Nuts was one of the “foods” of choice for Room 115 (Suite K Weber Dorm), because it required no special handling, protection, preservation or any other damn thing.  Just sat in the box waiting patiently for a food-deprived, consciousness-altered college student to get hungry-desperate enough to try and eat them/it.  And, when that time came, the fluid of choice was powdered “milk”.  Really!  God!  Simply add any mind altering substance to the menu and the gustatory experience totally went where no digestive system was meant to go.  And unless you had 52 molars the size of  cue balls, (or those white-tree trunk looking teeth that you see in hippopotami in the movies just before they tip over the canoe with the girl but eat the poor native bearers instead of her, the hope of not being injured trying to “eat” or “chew” this “cereal” was as non-existent as were my chances of convincing Miss Ann to come across in my room using nothing more in terms of romantic accelerants than a bottle of cheap rose wine, (in the impact-resistant straw wrapped bottle).  Before you could say, “Oh my god!  I have broken all my teeth!”, she would be out the door and the totally tile-lined bathroom would echo with the sounds of those little grainy things ricocheting against the bathroom stall walls.
…god, to go back…lol)

Today’s Post is about the…..Wakefield Doctrine!  As RRs* know, Saturday night is the night where I drive around the actual Wakefield with glenn and we discuss all things Doctrine.  Topics included last weeks’ Posts, recent efforts to draw Studley UK out enough for (them) to submit a Comment, and the most interesting topic during the drive was a ‘rough sketch of a plan to make an effort to try to bring the Doctrine into a form suitable for direct (or semi-direct) application in the real world’.  It just so happens that glenn, being in the “assisted self-help industry” may have a forum in which elements of the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers) can be “field tested”, on real “people”.  I bet the Wakefield Doctrine gets more ‘real’ in the coming year. More than that will have to wait…stay tuned.

Anyway…regarding the future of this thing of ours, what I would tell you if you were here in person is this: more and more the efforts of this blog, in general and these Posts specifically will be to try to get more ‘conventional’, more mainstream-ready in terms of how we present the WD.
Hours have been spent debating the virtues of feeling/energy versus writing/presentation technique.  In the final analysis, there really is no either/or, this thing will continue until it stops.  It will be really cool when the Wakefield Doctrine gets the exposure that it merits, which in my humble opinion is to have at least 100 people know of the Wakefield Doctrine by the end of this Summer.  And while it has been a policy here to not bother with “goals” and “mission statements” and other accouterments of the fame seeking, ‘men are from Mars and women (can-pretty-much-claim-to-be-from-wherever-they-want-as-long-as-they-pay-the-price-of- admission-to-my-Seminar)’ snake oil salesmen that you see on 30 minute infomercials and all during Pledge Week on Public TV.
(Look at the audience in those ‘self-empowerment’ seminar shows that you see on TV.  Pretty much all scottian and rogerian women with the attached rogerian males, plus a smattering of clarks dotting the audiance.  For reasons not yet clear, there are not many clarklike females to be found in the crowd at these events.

Since we appear to be on the topic of the audiences, the people willing to pay money to see some roger in a cashmere sweater stand on stage, projectile emoting and insisting that he feels their pain, these are the people we need to really understand.  At least we do if we are serious about taking this thing on the road.  The members of the audience at these events,  they are, for the most part women. (Rogerian women predominately with a fair percentage of scottian women).  Damn.  There is a whole Post right there.  This week for sure.  Remind me.

…and since I am in a bit of a country thing, next up is Glenn Campbell and Jerry Reed (one is a scott and the other is a roger.  you need to be able to know immediately which is which.  If for any reason you cannot, write a Comment and I will be happy to help.)

Now that I look at that clip, it gets me to thinking about the ‘comparison’, of scotts and rogers.  I have a clip back in the pages that I will run bring out….hold on….(where the hell is that damn clip?)….ok look and I will talk about it on the other side.  Once again, you had better not need me to tell you which is the roger and which is the scott…but what I want you to do is really see the “aggressiveness” or better to say manifestation of aggression as exhibited by the roger…it is quite distinctive and as seems to be the case, it is in the eyes…look on this…

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

    Jerry Reed. Where is he now? So cool! I was watching some kind of documentary on Elvis Presley one time. They cut to various celebrities commenting various things about Elvis. Jerry Reed said this. “I don’t want you to think I’m no kinda funny boy, but Elvis was just a purdy man. He was just purdy!”Jerry Reed was one of the few human who could have said that and not be questioned or made fun of. Poke Salad Annie.

    It is true. I so very much (for no reason other than the Wakefield Doctrine won’t let me forget there are 3 distinct ways to view the werld) wish to understand rogers. They instinctively collect and gather the components necessary to maintain a “self” centered world. And I don’t mean the negative “self centered” but rather self directed so that all points start with them. All sentences eventually end with them. Their fine qualities aside, how do they do it?! How do they insist the way they do? Is it only clarks who ask this question? I don’t know that anyone, er, any rogers that is, answered a previous comment/question of mine regarding rogerian ASSUMPTIONS. So I throw out the question to anyone: how does one keep the balance? It is not about balance?
    Is it a simple formula of knowledge of self, knowledge of others, and a little scottian “fuck you” thrown in for good measure?

    (completely aside – the trick to eating grapenuts is to have 1) enough milk on hand, 2) copious amounts of sugar, 4) plenty of time. When the the nut kernals are allowed to soak up the milk they expand to at least 150 times their original size. (hint: do not, repeat do not, use a bowl. eat Grapenuts out of a cup))

    Agrresiveness of a roger? Seems like a contradiction to me. The quiet “begging” seems to be in tune with a roger trying to manifest his aggression. Of course it doesn’t work out for him. Especially in the presence of a scott. Such easy prey.
