‘a watched post never boils’ the Wakefield Doctrine (‘…well, maybe not never‘)

April 24, 2014 By clarkscottroger

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

Funny thing, ‘pressure’. You know, like, “hey, the final exam is first period today! did you, like, even open the book?’ or “oh man! her friends are dancing and she doesn’t seem to mind staying here at the bar, maybe I should…” or “what do you want from me? we’ve been here before and I’m tired and I don’t think I can go through this again… tell me, what do you want from our relationship?”

yeah, pressure.

clarks do alright with pressure, especially if it is precipitous and drastic. Best person in an extreme emergency where it’s necessary not only to act, but to pick the correct course of action among a variety of choices? clarks
the personality type most likely to be picked as ‘the best person to have in an emergency’? I don’t even need to tell you, do I? yep, our friends the scotts… if certainty is a virtue, they are total saints (although… I don’t get a good Mother Theresa vibe from the scottian females… they are way too Hey! …relax and I’ll make certain you don’t forget me, anytime soon!’
the person most likely to be written into the History books?( rah ja! rah ja!) our rogerian brethren, they are the ones to write the popular history books, not that that has anything at all to do with it) lol

The Gurlz of Zeeville!

Lizzi our Angel of Anglo-ville is at it again… (nice imagery, yo)

Jean hey! pretty early, arnt ‘cha? I have to leave for work, will update our Friend jen-ay’s Post as soon as it goes live on her blog STOP the Presseses!! this just in!

Dyanne very ( ) Post nice

zoe she is still going strong with the interesting and useful facts and information posts (how long can she keep the streak alive?)

ok…back to work

“a clark, a clark and a clark wash ashore on a desert island*…” the Wakefield Doctrine -Wednesday-

April 23, 2014 By clarkscottroger

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

…so I said to (another) clark yesterday, “Did you ask so-and-so out, to that thing that you two were talking about?” and this clark said, “yeah, well no, but I think it will work out, I’m pretty sure that we’ll both be there and we can hangout”.

…and that old familiar feeling began to give a certain volume to my thoughts as I said, “what the hell are you talking about?! I was there, it was pretty much set right from the start.” The response: “well, I was thinking about it and I just need to figure out this one thing….”
I will save my subsequent rant for another time. Instead I will add to the Wakefield Doctrine ‘Warning Label’

Wakefield Doctrine Warning Label

if you learn the characteristics of the three worldviews well enough to spot (the) clarks, scotts and rogers in your life, you may find that you cannot stop seeing the clarks, scotts and rogers in your world

if you are a clark and you learn about the worldview of the Outsider, you may find yourself becoming frustrated with other clarks in your life, when they are being extremely (and self-destructively/defeatingly) clarklike and in the middle of your impassioned (and detailed) and totally correct rant (meant to help them overcome this), you will realize that you, yourself, are still subject to these same…. conditions of the reality of the Outsider

…however, with this realization you will find hope, not only for the person you know you can help, but for yourself…somehow, (you’re not really sure how, but you know it’s got to be true)

if you are a scott and you learn about the Wakefield Doctrine enough to find yourself thinking, ‘hey! thats one of those clarks, I knew there was something I liked about him/her‘, the next thing you will think is: “what the fuck?! I let them get away!!” (but you will laugh it off and go find yourself some rogers, they’re easy)

if you’re a roger and you learn enough about the Wakefield Doctrine you may find yourself not enjoying the good-natured ribbing you and everyone at your table in the cafeteria are giving that new girl in the sales department (after she’s left and returned to her desk) and even though it’s a fact that she is strange with that hair and those boots and how she seems to talk to herself… it starts to bother you about how all your friends are laughing at her, but you decide that you’re be extra nice the next time…which makes you feel good about yourself…so good that you decide you really should stop by her desk and tell her about your decision to help her

Hey!! I need to write a Post about the Wakefield Doctrine! (lol, yeah I know) Anyway…if you were an Editor and I had a book on your desk (this book has everything about the Doctrine that you know and everything as it is contained in the pages of the blog) what 2 suggestions would you make?

Daily A’s and Z’ss Challenge

Lizzi: she gots some good stuff going on over at Consideringseses

zoe: very interesting (and informative) Post I really like the kind of information that she’s providing in these Posts… the stuff you never thought to look up, but it will totally amaze the friends the next time you’re all hanging out playing… ‘how long can this roger go on about how intelligent they want every to believe they are‘ …. lol (yes, this appears to be Filter-less Wednesday!) Read This Thing!!

Jean no! no! wait!! this line alone is worth the trip, “She looks to be around 80 feet tall and she’s only two years old! I wonder how tall she will be when she is TEN?”

Dyanne oh Dy….annnne!! wakey wakey!!! (while we allow the time zone to adjust, here is our scott-of-the-Prairie’s post from yesterday: SSSS

* to be fair and, god forbid we should run the risk of disappointing anyone, following is an actual Desert Island joke:

A blonde, a brunette and a redhead were stuck on an island for many, many years until one day they found a magic lamp.

They rubbed it hard and out popped a genie. He said that he could only give three wishes so since there were three girls, each would get one wish.

The redhead went first. “I hate it here. It is too hot and boring. I want to go home!” “Okay,” replied the genie.

And off she went.

Then the brunette went. “I miss my family, my friends and relatives. I want to go home, too!!”

And off she went.

The blonde started crying and said, “I wish my friends were back here!”

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

you have zoe to thank for this visual….

I am very liked this site. Its an insightful subject. It help me really much to solve some troubles. Its prospect are so fantastic and functioning type so fast.*

Hey speaking of clarks, I ran into the clark at my gas station yesterday and he said, (without my asking), ‘I went to that website you mentioned.’ And I was all, ‘well, what did you think?‘ and he said, ‘it’s interesting but the site is kinda hard to figure where everything is‘ and I then said, “yeah, my writing is not all that good“.

Hey, speaking of clarks, Lizzi did her ‘S’ Post (as part of her participation in the A to Z Challenge) and went with ‘Stream of Consciousness’ as a Theme… (jeez)

Have I said it recently, that, of the three personality types, clarks are the only ones likely to come up with something like the Wakefield Doctrine, which is kinda cool, but clarks are also the only one of the three who needs to come up with something like the Wakefield Doctrine?**

In case anyone gets to thinking that this is all, ‘nobody knows the trouble I seen‘ here today, the answer is ‘No’ (unless you’re a clark, then the answer is ‘not no’, but then, I didn’t really need to say that, did I’)

don Juan*** speaks of the danger of routines, in the sense that our capacity to grow is a function of our success in adapting. In a weird sort of way, rogers represent the strength of stability and scotts demonstrate the power of action and moving forward and clarks, us ‘gee-clark-you-sometimes-start-to-make-so-much-sense-and-then-you’re-off-somewhere-I-just-can’t-follow-it’s-almost-as-if-you-are-doing-it-deliberately’ we clarks have the creativity that allows for genuine change and improvement, not just re-arrange the parts ‘improvement’. Once again, I believe I see the necessity to develop the attributes of all three worldviews in some sort of dynamic balance in order to fully exploit the potential of this here personality theory here.

(lol yes, I will have to go out into the world and function in the normal, ‘real’ world today. hell, no one ever said that the worldview of a clark was comfortable! But what the hell, right? I saw Lizzi in one place in her clarkcycle yesterday and another clark at a different in his cycle. Some clarks at this very moment are in the I-can-do-this-reallife-thing! phase and other clarks are at the very bottom of the ‘here-you-are-again-back-at-the-bottom-alone-how-can-you-doubt-it?’ part of our worldviews. The point? I can identify with other clarks. They survive the bad and they earn the good. So can I.)

Friends in the Ether… the continuing ‘A- who- Z? Challenge

zoe: I’m not even gonna try to describe today’s Post other than (in a good and loving way), what tha fuck?? (2 things: a) who has the skills and and the manuel dexterity; 2) the first thing that came to mind was my youth, when I would often hide in a book when my own brain or the real world was too much and the visual was: I get into the safety of bed to dive into a book and I open the book and like the iconic scene in Alien the flowers spring out…. lol hey, it is cool but you have to go to her blog and see it for yourself…. Reader? do me a favor, after you read zoe’s post write a Comment and include either: I love this idea or I feel like Harry Dean Stanton!

jen-ay: (no, no one here thought that you may have actually eaten that sandwich that day…. lol)

Dyanne: (hey! Dyanne!! hurry!! we’re one letter ahead again!!)

Lizzi: what can I say? If you think this post is best responded to with a: “Hey! you should cheer up, your life ain’t so bad! If you want to hear how tough it can be, let me tell you about what I went through” then you’re a roger if your reaction is one of puzzlement that is over-ridden by protectiveness (looking around daring anyone to take advantage) you are a scott.
Pretty simple, isn’t it?

*(not a real Comment. I found this in the Spam folder when I was looking for Dyanne, who was, like, writing Comments and such, but never having them get through… it was the strangest thing.)

** I said, something like the Wakefield Doctrine… rogers

M Day the Wakefield Doctrine (insert philophobic saying here)

April 21, 2014 By clarkscottroger

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

Brief Monday morning Post (to be annotated in the afternoon, during a planned break from appears to be a rather busy day).

the Wakefield Doctrine is a way to see the world as the other person is experiencing it. The goal of this exercise is to know better how the other person (or ourselves) ‘relates themselves to the world around them’. If we succeed in recognizing the worldview of the other person, we will know more about them than they know about themselves*.

Friends of the Doctrine_A-to-Z Challenge_First Day of the Workweek

Lizzi: Are is for Review (or Revue)

zoe: oddly enough she has Reveal as the are

Jean: bringing it all home, our Jean’s Fictionary entry

Dyanne:

*unless, of course, they are followers of the Wakefield Doctrine! In which case they will make us in the first three minutes of our trying to understand them… ya know?

TT-oh-T the Wakefield Doctrine ‘so a man comes on and tells me, how white my shirts can be’

April 19, 2014 By clarkscottroger

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

It is TT Saturdee, the sun is shining (which is good), the temperature are in the life-supporting 40s and there is a full day of work waiting for me, like gym class when it rains and the horrible ‘bad-worse’ possibility races towards you: dodge ball or square dancing. Talk about lose-lose.

But this is a grat list Post, so a list of things that I am/feel/should-be/try-to-encourage-the-feelings of gratitude in my life is what I am damned and determined to write, this morning.

1) Vidchats. Every Friday night since, like forever it seems, we have been doing video chats. They are always worth the time I spend there.

2)…. ok, it’s here… I know it’s in my head* wait! no yeah lets come back to Number two

3) Now, I know I’m in trouble… I just Numbered out 1-10 what is almost always a sign of being ‘on the ropes’ gratitudistically-speaking that is (my honest self-acceptance is surely something any reasonable person would feel grateful for!

4) the freedom to end a sentence on a preposition. I will, in fact, claim this as an Item because I’ve just spent the last 10 minutes (in ‘non-typing time’ which, as we all know, is the variable equivalent of time reading to time writing, in my case 1 minute of reading time equals 8 minutes of NTT (non-typing-time)

5) I need to list my ‘work’ as it is something that I am grateful for even when the stress levels get to the point that make standing on the deck of a boat in the middle of the ocean, picking up dead fish seem like a much, much better way to earn a living.

6) My vfriends (who I may need to list individually in order to complete this list any time before the 4th of July) they are good thing.

7) time and necessity require that I invoke the dreaded, all-conversation-in-the-room- suddlenly-stops Rule 9.3 (of the Book of Secret Rules**) and present what I have written so far as TToT #44.5 (of course, 90.3 does require that the ‘second’ ‘half’ be completed within 24 hours or a visit from (one of) the SevenGuard Virgins (and it’s no likely to be ‘Sleepy’ or ‘Happy’) can be expected.

8) ” …Indoor plumbing……”

9) “….a car in which to do vlogs and annoy vfriends with your lit seatbelt light”

10) and …friends like Christine to provide the ‘note from home’ to get me through todays Post!

Friends-A2Z-here’s what they up to:

Lizzi this

Dyanne: where the hell are my car keys…

zoe: that

Jean …that’s right! 2 clarks and 2 scotts! damn, hadn’t thought about that

* like a clark spends an inordinate amount of time anywhere else!
