Month: April 2013 | the Wakefield Doctrine Month: April 2013 | the Wakefield Doctrine

mark your calendars: this Thursday the Wakefield Doctrine …another fun, Afternoon Special! ( yeah, maybe it’d be better to say ‘After School’ Special).. lol

April 30, 2013 By

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

DOwiteW

We gots work to do. Lets start by announcing the Wakefield Doctrine Afternoon Special/Study Hall/Doctrine AP Class  This coming Thursday at 3:30 pm EDT  This is a ‘call-in’ event, just like our popular Saturday Night Drive (‘cept not at Night…or on Saturday). Same number where you can call in and engage in a lively, fun and informative conference call/discussion of the Wakefield Doctrine and such. We’re hoping that some Readers that have  not been able to call in on Saturday Nights will take advantage of the different time… perhaps their small lifeforms are in napation mode, or even not yet back from going as students to the school there.  ( Yes, I thinking about you Janine, and Amy and Jen and Kristi, and Stephanie and Kate and Dawn…  what the hell  hey! Terrye  (since we’re doing the school metaphor and we all know that you had a reserved parking space for detention hall, so come on call us Thursday!) Seeing that most of you guys probably do not have the Wakefield Doctrine phone number on your refrigerator,  let me give it to you:  1-218-339-0422    access number: 512103 #

A couple of weeks ago we talked about how this blog would be addressing real life situations and concerns, as raised by real life people and (how)  the principles of this here personality theory here would be applied in a way that should help Readers understand better how to use the Doctrine to their benefit.
Well today, we have another set of Comments that were generated by yesterday’s Post.

So lets go right to the Comments! (thanks to Amy and Melanie and Cyndi and Katia):

“…Oh my word, you hit the nail right on the head here today!!! I HATE it when some people tell me I’m nice…it drives me up the wall, because I’m a lot more than nice! But, then there are those few – very few – people I like to hear it from. So weird!”

“… but it’s so true – I hate being told that I’m nice (or “so sweet”) by a roger. Makes me want to smack them. :) There’s always something more to learn, lol!”

“…I love this principle: while we are predominantly one (of these three) we never lose the capacity to see the world as the other two.”

“… Thursday at 3:30 works for me. :D “

And the Answer(s) to the (implied) Question are:

  • because they are most representative of the world at large,
  • because we suspect that the motives for our being ‘nice’ is not always what we would like them to be
  • who the hell are you to tell me that I can and can’t be nice
  • …well, screw you! …you don’t want to get me mad, I guarantee you that you will not be so smug and condescending
  • well, because that is how I would like to be treated….except for….lol
  • scotts are different, they’re not mean and besides it’s fun to watch them think they have the upper hand

(feel free to contribute, yo)

Submit your Questions?

That’s right, you read that kee rectly!  Put your Questions for the Afternoon Special and even if you can’t make it, we will answer it!!  (damn!  how do they do that! ) (guess you’ll have to tune in and see!)

Question #1

Question #2

Question #3

(infer that this is a continuing sequence, ok?)

See ya tomorrow*

*well, technically it’s hear ya tomorrow…

(Add New Post) …well, if that’s what WP wants, that’s what it’s gonna get! the Wakefield Doctrine

April 29, 2013 By

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

double-indemnity

After School Special  Thursday 3:30 ! me an Cyndi,  y’all invitated of course, bring your blue compostion books and a good supply of No 2 pencils, yo

Melanie’s got a new look! Acutally another blog

Janine is on a new Venture… go to her blog (and then go to her new, new site)

There will be (additional) Content to be added…a little later, but I did want to get this here Post here ‘out there’ for reasons that are not quite clear to me at this juncture.

Ok! Ok!! Here’s the additional (reprint from 12.14.11) content!  Don’t say I didn’t warn you…

“why clarks hate being nice, scotts avoid responsibility and rogers just want everyone to stop what they are doing… your Life, their problem and the Wakefield Doctrine”

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

The answer(s) to the questions implied in today’s Post Title are way more aggravating than they have any right to be, yet is very simple. If you ‘get it’, before I finish this explanation, then you are the kind of people we want to hear from! ( and ) if you do not ‘get it’ and get annoyed, then you are so the kind of people we want to talk to!

(frequently asked)Questions:

OK, I know that I am a clark, so what now?

Do you really think you can tell me more about myself than I am willing to tell myself?

Is there a trick or something to this… these Posts are fun, but what are you really trying to say?

You make the statement several times in several ways that the Wakefield Doctrine can change my life and/or help me eliminate bad habits…who said I needed to change and even if I did, what gives you the right?

My boyfriend says that this blog might be fun but you seem a little stupid and silly, I want to tell him that I think he’s wrong…but sometimes I wonder….

Won’t my parents be upset if I tell them that the only reason they want me to go to Medical School is that they are both suchrogers ?

(mix ‘n match)Answers:

The Wakefield Doctrine holds that all of us have the potential to see the world in the three characteristic ways that are associated with being a clark or a scott or a roger and that while we are predominantly one (of these three) we never lose the capacity to see the world as the other two.

Personality (according to the Wakefield Doctrine) is first about the reality that we find ourselves in and second the individual choices that we make.  Rather than start with a questionnaire, “what are your likes/dislikes, your interests and your turn-offs” we are concerned with understanding the world as you are experiencing it.

The Posts you find here are what you would find yourself talking about if you happened to call in to the Wakefield Doctrine Saturday Night Drive. ( …and this Wakefield Doctrine Saturday Night Drive is a ‘live blog Post/call-in-and-get-your-questions-answered show)

There is no more effective tool for self-development than the Wakefield Doctrine and there is no more difficult and challenging approach to self-development and lifestyle improvement than the Wakefield Doctrine

Fuck ’em, they’re rogers… if you asked them the question, then you would be telling them that they are right..

The Title of today’s Post?

  • there is nothing a clark hates more than to be told by a roger that they (the clark, not the roger), are such nice people…and there is nothing a clark enjoys more than being told by a scott that they are nice people

  • scotts are afraid of everything that threatens to mean more to themselves than it might mean to others

  • rogers want, hell! they need things to be orderly and focused and the simplest way that most rogers know in order to make sure of that, is to place themselves at the center of their world. That way they will be able to watch everything equally and not miss a thing, not a single detail.

Saturday Morning It might just be the best Day of the Week! the Wakefield Doctrine (“..nothin to see here folks, move along, just some guy thinking outloud in public”)

April 27, 2013 By

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

10506_10152157688670013_1826012747_n

Saturday is the Best Day of the Week* because:

  • the schedule of work/school that we are compelled to follow for 71.42857 % of the week is disabled (or, at very least reduced in some manner)
  • while there are responsibilities found in the day ahead, they can be discharged in a more… causal fashion
  • TV is fun (and varied) at all hours, weird shows (not fat people throwing chairs weird) but birds carrying kittens to their nest to raise as their own weird
  • our parents are visible
  • our spouses are relaxed (at least in the early morning)
  • our children are happy(er)
  • our pets wake up, and run around (or jump on the bed) like it was Christmas morning

So what’s not to like?  Granted we have chores and part-time jobs, bedrooms to clean and laundry to do, lawns to mow and power tools to return to the neighbors but no matter how busy we are with these tasks, we can stop, in the middle of everything and sit down, on the porch and read the mail, on the backsteps and idly pull weeds from the edging around the sidewalk, get on the computer and check an email account we have been ignoring…tasks are not nearly as difficult when they can be interrupted at our whim. And the best part? …at the end of this sometimes busy, often hectic day we have Saturday night. For the average, not possessed of wealth sufficient to have a limo, not famous enough to have a social secretary, not popular enough to have friends calling to try and get you to go to their affair, not sick in a hospital, not depressed enough to still be in bed, person, Saturday Night has the potential to be the best of nights/the worst of nights. It is the night of the week that you hate because it forces you to believe the part of you that says you will always be alone, it is the night of the week that you love because it allows that part of you that never wants to get old to show you what you can be, it is the night of the week where your fears are proven false…only if you are willing to give up and do the thing that you fear the most, it is the night of the week that lets the hope you have for a happy life be demonstrated in ways that you understand.

…full of promise, yet with a requirement that we do some things that we are afraid of, some things that we hate and all in faith that we deserve and will get what we want from life.

(Saturday Night Drive: 8:00 to 8:45 pm EDT 218-339-0422  access code 512103 #  no one yet has told us, ‘man I really wish I hadn’t called that number’)

* in the Wakefield Doctrine sense of the word, of course!

FTSF the Wakefield Doctrine …it’s later than usual, this is more difficult than I thought…I am sure you’ll understand

April 26, 2013 By

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

…from the Bloggarini: Janine and Kate and Stephanie and Dawn  comes this sentence fragment:

“I am very passionate about…”

So for today’s Finish the Sentence Friday: the answer is the Wakefield Doctrine!
(what do you mean, this is not a test?!  Thats my ‘finish’ of ‘the sentence’...) (…the hell you say!)

When in doubt, go to ‘the Wikipedia’ and they tell us to start this FTSF with:

Passion (from the Latin verb patī meaning to suffer) is a term applied to a very strong feeling about a person or thing. Passion is an intense emotion compelling feeling, enthusiasm, or desire for something.

If it seems like I’m stalling for time (or more likely, inspiration) it is because I am….stalling for time…and inspiration.

I actually saw this week’s sentence fragment a couple of days ago, and I was all, ‘damn! finally an easy one! I can do this in my sleep, ’cause everbody know that I all about the Wakefield Doctrine.’

yeah, about that over confidence… you clarks out there know the feeling: you are not being over-confident! if anything, you are being cautious, you are not running up and down the aisle telling everyone how you know the answer (you’re pretty sure you’re not doing this) and you are totally not laughing at anyone who seems to be struggling with the assignment. As a matter of fact, you’re usually looking for someone to help with the assignment, (’cause you know you got this one!) and the funny thing is, the people you want to help don’t seem to be overly concerned. So you back off a bit. Then you begin to think that maybe you missed something (god knows, you looked at the task every way from Sunday… nope, still real simple: ‘I am really passionate about…’). Fine! Not worried at all.

… the doors shut, the pencils are instructed to rest on the blue booklets until the instructions are read.  What the hell is the problem?  the answer is right there in front of you. But you know that there is something missing… nothing you can think of…totally something you feel.  Nothin  just a bad feeling that has (somehow!) changed happy confidence into fearful uncertainty…how the hell did this happen? Now you just want to get it over with, you avoid looking at the others because it is better to be un-noticed and right than to be stared at and wrong. The answers are there… but even that’s not right! Too quick, too glib.

So here:

  • I am very passionate about the Doctrine and how it brings me into to contact with people who I would never have had the nerve to walk up to,
  • I am very passionate about the WakefieldDoctrine and how it brings me into to contact with the people who understand how what the Doctrine means
  • I am very passionate about the Doctrine and how it brings me into to contact with people who I would never have had the nerve to walk up to and confidently engage in a conversation

(at least it is 6:11 EDT so most of the other will be done reading and  you can hope for a really, really difficult sentence fragment next week, those are always easier.)

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

Shh!  the movie is about to start…

14 minutes?!  no, seriously!!   it is??!   damn!  hey!  Mr Doctrine, have you looked at a calendar recently?  Average running time of video-based info-tainment is so not in the Matrjoschka category, so what you say you give us a break with the 14 minute running time, yo.

Ok  relax,  here is a handy guide to the video for anyone who does not have the time (clark), the attention span (scotts) or the willingness to watch a clark be the center of attention (rogers):

[time] What you get to see… What you get to hear…
00:00:18 …2 reasons
00:00:22 At Kingstown Rd and Caswell St
00:00:38 An invitation to come to Wakefield on a Saturday night
00:00:51 Turning onto Rt1a south (Ocean Rd)
00:01:18 Narragansett Town Beach
00:01:30 The ‘Towers’
00:01:55 A contest??! No way!
00:02:45 Amy at ‘Adorable Chaos’
00:03:07 Safe to fast forward to 3:46
00:03:46 Recap of the Doctrine
00:06:00 To figure out a person’s type…
00:06:46 Some more of the ocean
00:07:17 Scarborough State Beach
00:07:52 Back to Amy
00:09:07 Ocean Rd and Pt Judith Rd
00:09:24 ‘Cyndi recently said…’
00:09:51 Galilee Escape Rd
00:10:23 The solution is….
00:11:19 A roger
00:11:36 Block Island Ferry
00:12:27 Georges Restaurant
00:13:00 Park that car!

There you have it! A long and fun video Post and a handy dandy guide to what you will see and hear…in case ya ain’t got the time to sit through the whole thing.

Amy is, of course, Friend of the Doctrine Amy who writes ‘Adorable Chaos‘

Cyndi so is DownSpring Cyndi  over at ‘the ‘tude‘
