Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory, upon which a series of stories in which the three personality types, clarks, scotts and rogers are demonstrated, illustrated, emancipated and (possibly) procreated for your education, inspiration and edification)
Hey everyone! Short Post today. Readers may remember that we used to have a feature, called Video Friday, that ran in these pages every… er Friday! In the way that clarks seem to have, we were attracted to an idea that soon afterwards became much more prevalent, and more widely accepted (as a form of blogation). Whatever. We’ve had fun doing them, as much in the doing, as in the publishing and presenting in this blog. (Friend Of The Doctrine) Cyndi was writing in a Post recently, at ‘the ‘ttude’ on the subject of wanting to try something (in her photography) that she felt that she might not be comfortable doing. My Comment back to her, simply proposed that, ‘there is a power in passion that totally surpasses (the forced efforts of) determination’. (yeah I talk like that fricken everywhere!)
Video Fridays are a total testament to that idea being valid and useful when dealing with the new and frightening… I’m a clark …we all know how much clarks loves to hear they voices recorded and played back, their photographs taken and all that stuff. And even still, here we are…Video Friday! the Wakefield Doctrine works.
Speaking of Contests!! Midnight tonight is the Deadline for our ‘Name that Birthday Party based Series of Posts’ Contest! Still plenty o’ time
Hey! did we mention that you are totally allowed to send in more than one Title? (still only one prize, binyons, but you can enter as often as you like!)
… some of the entries so far:
“Ain’t No Party Like a WakeDoc party (cuz a WakeDoc Party Don’t Stop)” from Cari over at ‘Meet My Husband’ ( damn! girl not just sending in Title, but a soundtrack! lol)
“The Wakefield Doctrine Frequency” Kelly over at ‘Real Housewife‘ ( …you are too young for a classic movie, more precisely a classic movie scene…the movie ‘Scanners’ lol I am liking this Title for the overtones)
“Its’ Not a Party Without a scott” Jennifer over to ‘the Three Personalities‘ ( I am so getting visuals of college-centric parties )
“Three Great Characters, Sadly Used and Put Away Blank” entry from Stacy who writes ‘Ramblings of an Undiagnosed Madwoman‘ ( nice…nice…)

Oh so exciting and can’t wait to see who wins the contest. A lot of awesome titles are already in the mix and big congrats to whoever does win. That said, “Happy Friday”!!
@Janine
the air is electric in Wakefield! the sense of suspense the anticipation of the anxiety…the excitation of…. lol
yeah, fun
It’s a challenge initiating talk about the Doctrine as in answering the question “what is it?”. Although I suppose I should qualify that statement by saying that the difficulty/challenge arises depending upon whom I am talking to – a clark, scott or a roger. It’s much easier to simply already be engaged in conversation with a person about it……which is why I enjoy the Saturday Night Drive Call In Show. Conversation just seems to evolve. LOL
@DownSpring#1
…no comment
Ha! Funny. Yer too cool, dude. ;)
I SPOKE to people on the street yesterday, but I couldn’t ask about photos and such. I’ll get there…someday. LOL.
Okay as for that title, I’m just going to go stream-of-consciousness here:
“The Wakefield Doctrine Gone Calypso”
“A Menagerie at the Calypso”
“Cloying Characters at the Calypso Club”
“Hold the Door – The Calypso is Waiting”
Okay…gonna go eat breakfast now, lol.
@Cyndi
Excellent! (to steal a paraphrased line from the movie, ‘Caddyshack’ “be the camera!”
I will out all of these entries in to the entry block quote, which will no doubt be the format for the awards Post.
That is an amazing Title that you got from me.. love it. Now suddenly I was thinking… Twas the Night Before Clark! ha ha ha – OH my is that part of me getting into the holiday spirit!
@Stacy
no limit on entries, lol will include ‘Twas the Night Before Clark’ in final list of Titles!
I don’t have any entries for the contest (feeling little blocked lately). Just wanted to say great job with the video! Looking forward to seeing who wins the contest…
@Amy
np (as the kids would say) Thank you (on the Video Friday video)! Those were my first foray out from Post writing, into the more adventurous video blogging… btw they (these videos) are all the same as far as the visuals, car hat voice… another person might suggest that I am…under-utilizing the medium? lol
