the principles of the Doctrine of Wakefield (and/or) 3 ways to say I love you

‘No, I’m sorry…’

‘What the hell do you mean by that?’

‘I want!’

Today’s rather short and succinct Post was brought to us courtesy of the germ of creativity that forms the basis of the Wakefield Doctrine. As a Reader you have the right to remain silent, feeling:

  • slightly disturbed because you are afraid that the Doctrine blog has finally run out of cleverness
  • ennui-ly because you have been expecting the Wakefield Doctrine to run down, long before this
  • pissed-off ’cause you have been putting in your goddamn time and finally getting something back, you know, givin lip service so they wouldn’t tell you to shut-the-hell-up, at least not right away
  • relieved because it seems that the cycle of these Posts was bringing it all around to this point….again
  • disgusted because despite all the efforts to rise above self-indulgent, ‘oh-doesn’t-anyone-realize-how-difficult this-all-is’ the need to projectile emote never really went anywhere
  • hope that either:  a) nobody reads this one and the normal is re-established b) it is not as freshman-composition class experimental writing-istic as it looks c) to date, the writing of the occasional ‘impulse Post’ has not seemed to stop the 45 people from coming back d)  none of the above

So the Wakefield Doctrine, for those of you just joining us, continues on it’s path towards some form of  ‘this is not the future that my (parents/teachers/mentors/friends)  said I would have back in….’ If you like what you read, it is probably too late for you, but for the love of a major deity, keep this Doctrine away from the children. They deserve a life and a future that is more cohesive and predictable and more  ‘share-ey with their friends’ than what (most) of the followers of the Wakefield Doctrine can lay claim to…

As they say in the beginning of movies nowadays ( that is before the actual movie but after 5 fuckin minutes of commercials for cars, old movies that nobody cares about anymore, how to keep your child from committing suicide, military recruiting and why you should be feeding your child good food for growing minds) :

“..surrounded by Wakefield.” 7 photos, 3 personality types and 1 good time

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

It is Saturday, and that means time for the Wakefield Doctrine Saturday Night Drive!  …you can call a simple phone number and hear the dulcet tones of ‘hazel’ (our new pet name for the warm, yet sexy, calculating, scottian-teeth-headed-for-the-jugular, machine generated voice) saying,    “talk to a Progenitor, talk to a DownSpring, ask questions about the Doctrine…. you can even ask for a hat,  for your damn head…”

…on the road to the Ocean ( we are on Narragansett Ave  approaching the intersection with Caswell St)

the famous Seawall and (nearly equally famous) sea

Action Photos!

At this Point (in the Drive),  our first Callers are startin to dial in… usually DS#1  followed by Molly (with) Alex ‘bringing up the rear’…  Ms AKH and DownSpring glenn are most likely in the car!

The famous Knowles Ave and Pt Judith Rd intersection… ( Michelin Rated 5 Star as ‘the mostly likely place those Doctrine people will get they-selves in a damn traffic accident’. )

Cusine de Sea Creatures!

(we almost always drive into this Parking Lot and, for reasons not yet fully understood, this is usually the point in the Drive where things get weird… (all right  weirder)  but a part of that phenomenon is related to the next photo…)

See that corner window??  that is the famous “window on the worlds” corner booth of the Restaurant ( George’s of Galilee’s  Mighty Tasty Dead Sea Creatures and Grille )  If  curious, call us! (Thanks to Alexandra,  ‘fo de muse’ on this one!)

So there you have it! …a pictorial guide to the Wakefield Doctrine Saturday Night Drive. You can surely call us tonight, provided that:

  • you have a desire to hear about a really fun and useful  personality theory
  • you have figured out the number to call…and the (nearly) secret access code (it’s in this here blog here somewhere*)
  • you are free at 8:oo pm EST  tonight

the Doctrine tells us that the answer to the previous question is:

  •  if you are a scott the answer is: ‘Yes’  and
  •  if you are a roger the answer is: ‘Yeah, but
  • and if you are a clark the answer is: ‘6’

* what are you looking here for?  You really think we are going to make it that easy? What do you take us for, a bunch of clarks?  well, sorry sport ( or sportina),  ain’t gonna happen!  You want the number to call?  then frickin find it your-own-damnself  or…..

or write us a Comment and we will Post it right down there in the Comments section, where even a roger can’t miss it!

Video Friday epiglottis 27! self-examination via the Wakefield Doctrine

Whoa…! 1  Today is the sixth day of the week (nearly the Sabbath and you know what that means!2 )

In any event, we have a special treat for today’s Video Friday! None other than the Progenitor roger!  This is noteworthy as we have not heard much, of late, from the rogerian element! And this, despite the fact that we spent most of last week talking about those crowd-gathering, slider-rule-carrying, 10-Commandments-throwing, civil war3re-enactin, library-card-carrying, Emily-Posting, Facebook-inventing, Barbara Billingsly-apron-wearin’, bunch of gossip-monkeys in nearly every Post!   
But since  ‘letting bygones be bygones’  is the adaptive-enabling strategy employed by most clarks when dealing with (most) rogers, we will not make an issue of it.

Good and useful and entertaining conversation with the Progenitor. Enjoy. Write Comments. Call us.

1) did you realise that the expression ‘whoa’ is damn-near universal?? really! look it up for yourself, if you don’t believe me…nearly every damn language, not counting the ones that use bar codes symbols for an alphabet, of course

2) well, according to Wikipedia* it means that there are 39 proscribed activities! Including, but not limited to:

  • baking bread
  • making clothes
  • writing ( !!?!)
  • building a house

3) civil war…what the fuck is that? in contrast to an un-civil war? gimme a break

* if it is in Wikipedia, then it’s got to be true!

scotts, ‘prey drive’ and the Wakefield Doctrine (“Mr. Gorbachev, feed that dog!”)

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine. If you are looking for a self-improvement tool, or a easy-to-use system for self-development, then you have totally stumbled on to the right ‘place’!
The Wakefield Doctrine  has a thing about looking at people, you know, how they act and stuff?  …we guarantee that if you got the smarts to understand this, (and not everyone does),  then you will know more about that other person than they know about themselves.  Pretty frickin cool, no?  But if you’re looking for one of those,  “Six Ways to get any Boy to Like you” or  “Satisfy the Woman in your dreams!! ”  or ” How to get your Boss off your back!”  self-improvement things  then stop reading. Right now.
This Wakefield Doctrine thing is so not that kind of personality theory.  (Not saying that you won’t be able to ‘satisfy the Woman in your Dreams’ or ‘get your Boyfriend a Job’), just that what we have here takes a little more….  flexible intelligence. So.  Read already!

No, the Wakefield Doctrine is not like those other self-development books….the Wakefield Doctrine is fun and it is useful and it is fun…

Today we are going to talk about scotts!  (Want to get a quick overview of the Doctrinego here and read….be sure to come back!)

scotts, scotts scotts!  where to start?   … hell, it’s Thursday, lets take the easy way out just to get the ball rolling, so to speak.1

Some bullets points relating to the nature and character of the scottian personality type:

  • scotts are totally emotional but in a way so very different from rogers,  mercurial is the right word for the emotional characteristic of scotts
  • scott   in a band?  the ‘front man’ every time  (don’t believe me? go look at the photo of the progenitors, click here  those three mugs were in a band together (yeah, I know!) and can you tell me who the front man was?…hell  you know which one is the Progenitor scott without anyone telling you, don’t you?)
  • at a party scotts will  introduce themselves (…..to everyone)
  • when confronted with a threat or other fear-generating situation, a scott will choose to attack rather than flee
  • scottian females can be ridiculously sexy or quick witted, …hardly ever both.
  • (female) scotts can be spotted because they have prominent throat tendons (go ahead….ask us why)

Seeing how the scottian population is of late growing here at the Doctrine, lets cater to the their totally famous short attention-spans  and use a video that shows us a scott doing what they do best!  Watch and learn, binyons!

How scottian was David Caruso’s character? how clarklike was DeNiro’s character?  and the cop that backed down to the scott?, not too rogerian !  Hell! he was the only one in the scene to have a hat on his damn head!
So lets review:

clarks think, scotts act and rogers feel.    scotts are often wrong, but never uncertain.  scotts make good leaders, (at least when decisive action is required…when long-term objectives take precedence over short-term victory…not so much).     scotts are ‘the life of the party’… scotts are the best of joke tellers and are natural mimics.  scotts will feed on rogers and enjoy the challenge of clarksscotts will give you the shirt off his back/ the use of her boyfriend but will not tolerate being ignored… they are un-selfish and short-sighted… ingenious and stupid…  emotional and shallow… sexy and predatory… endearing and dangerous…  get the picture?

another Hatted head

Photobucket

Alexandra has joined the hatted ranks of the Wakefield Doctrine, from Lyckeby, Sweden.  Isn’t that a great hat?  And a beautiful building with fabulous details.  I do hope she chooses to tell us a bit about it, since it is the land mark she chose to have her picture taken in front of!

Reading her blog, it is easy to see how much she loves her beautiful dog Lisen, delicious food, tid-bits of history and walks everywhere.  If you do an image search of Lyckeby, Sweden, you will find she is responsible for most of the top rated photos.  She has such an eye for details — just take a look at the photos below.

Her motto is: Good intentions = Good results.

She says of herself…

I’m a believer in “law of attraction”. I am also convinced of that the only thing you should concern yourself with is your own intentions, if they are good – everything will always turn out for the best in the end.

When Alexandra first visited us, she said, “Sounds like an interesting theory. Not sure how I can find out which one of clark or scott or roger I am though.”

So how does one find out if they are a clark, scott or roger?  Read though the basic information (found in those little black buttons, top right) and decide which most closely fits your view of the world.  Or, here is the quick rundown:
