TToT -the Wakefield Doctrine-

February 7, 2025 By clarkscottroger

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

This is the Doctrine’s contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop.

1) Phyllis

2) Una

3) the Wakefield Doctrine

4) the Unicorn Challenge bloghop. ‘Fire and Rain‘ by ceayr

5) the Six Sentence Story bloghop. ‘Ah Paris‘ by Chris

6) new writers (new to the TToT, not necessarily new to Blogville) hey! Artmater and Sognafaret*. (to paraphrase absent friends, New ‘oT list writers are the lifeblood of this here bloghop here)

7) Wednesday of this week, remembering to turn off the date/time stamp before driving the 40 minutes home from my property where, rather than weekly inspection photos (needing aforementioned time stamp) I was taking marketing photos. I only took 13 photos when I thought…. “Wait a minute! Is the date/time stamp still on?” (once in my distant past, things in the business were much more active…. and I went through an entire afternoon of inspections (25 houses worth) and got back to the office and, sitting at my desk, a well-deserved rest and… yes ma’am not a single date stamp on the entire 200 photos. ;p to paraphrase Mr. Diddly “You should’ve seen just what I heard”

8) Non-Winter draws increasingly near. (shh!)

9) something, something

10) Secret Rule 1.3

Wednesday -the Wakefield Doctrine-

February 5, 2025 By clarkscottroger

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

Way, way behind today.

Gotta be uncharacteristically brief (trying for brusque, settle for concise).

The Wakefield Doctrine offers you a tool to self-improve yourself. It is found in the basis of the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers, to wit: what we refer to as personality types is but an outward reflection of how a person relates themselfs to the world around them, and the people who make it up.

That’s it!

Have a great day!

lol… no, serially. ok, one more insight: that statement about our relationship? the key phrase, (and therefore most mis-understood), is ‘how we relate ourselves to the world’.

Note: we did not say, ‘how we relate to the world…’

critical, simple and way-difficult little distinction.

to look at how ‘we relate ourselves to the….’ requires we know ourselves. Libraries filled with books on the topic of knowing oneself. And, not to get all-up-in-the-prose with what that means, lets let someone who is a little bit more famous (which, alas, is all too often synonymized with ‘credible’) say it. that way we can get out there and do something good.

And…and! it’s fun! …(using the Doctrine as a perspective not reading Lao Tzu): “Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom”

so the wisdom and inner peace may take some time, but go out there today with the profiles of clarks (Outsiders), scotts (Predators) and rogers (Herd Members) in mind. we guarantee you will be glad you did.

Tuesday -the Wakefield Doctrine-

February 4, 2025 By clarkscottroger

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

Quick post.

Lets go sift through the recent comments that derive from our Six Sentence Story, Unicorn Challenge and/or TToT posts.

…hold on

…sorry.

just did a link to a video in our Reply to Cai’s comment. Below. Sorry, not below, over in the TToT post from this weekend. It was the Mad Dog and Glory clip.

damn! the whole Doctrine on a 3 minute clip.

since the clip provided such clear examples we won’t bother with much more detail other than to say Perfect!

New Readers? Here’s your Cliff Notes: Robert De Niro is a clark (Outsider, lives in his head), David Caruso a scott (Predator manifests life in his actions) and the guy beating up on the woman, a roger (Member of the Herd)

(Language alert. Not like, say the clip from Casino, but artistic use of Eff Explosives)

Monday -the Wakefield Doctrine-

February 3, 2025 By clarkscottroger

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

RePrint Monday!

ok. before the RePrint:

three personality types, we live our lives in the context of one, (and only one), our personal reality is a reflection of the nature, (and character), of our relationship to the world around us and the people who make it up. as we said, three: clarks (the Outsider), scotts (the Predator) and rogers (the Herd Members). our personal realities support, reinforce and otherwise make our personality types pretty much perfect (ok, we’ll allow for ‘appropriate’). clarks live in their heads, scotts manifest their spirits in the action of their acts and rogers find and strive to be the ever-moving center of the world. most people with a little time and a healthy dose of intellectual confidence (and curiosity) find this theory interesting. (ProTip: if you are moved to comment (which we totally encourage and welcome) but feel compelled to let us know that, for reasons beyond your control (not saying this isn’t an interesting theory), you are the exception to the rule and are all three types at once? we will ask one question, on the honor system, of course. in the perverse way of the 21st C, the honor system is alive and well, albeit turned on it’s head, i.e. truth is what the individual takes responsibility for believing. the one question? ‘How much is 2 + 2?’

RePrint!

‘Monday the unlikely’ -the Wakefield Doctrine- ‘…of Motivation and videos, serials and insights’

February 29, 2016

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

So a number of topics to cover:

friend of the Doctrine, zoe has a new bloghop that we are participating in, over at the Carrot… (this will be linked over there, so be on your best behavior! I don’t want a repeat of what happened last time we went visiting as a Guest Post writer! I still haven’t heard back from the blogger who asked us!)

running a little late on Chapter 20 (will still write a little teaser)

an old video, like the secret moon rocks sample, still waiting to go viral

Cynthia and Denise and I had a most excellent and insightfulizing discussion during Saturday’s Call-in…. about why clarks are so easily bored. We’ll trial-balloon a few thoughts today.

Carrot! (oh shit! I just jumped over there and…and she’s got people sending in genuinely interesting things, information and samples of, like, talented people working on things paintings and playing musical instruments, making really attractive jewelry. damn! gotta just tough it out)

Hey! I used to do travel videos! Well, not so much travel videos as videos of places that I visited when on business trips… not so much videos as selfies (before they were all the rage and total expected)…. here’s one I found in an old Post!

here you go zoe!

Item 2: Chapter 20…. a little late this week. Plan to publish tonight, still need a little polish and a rogerian review (courtesy of Phyllis). Chapter 20 accounts for what happen after Chapter 19…. no, wait, that did come out right, of course, it deals with Chapter 19! What I’m saying is that, you know how Chapter 19 ended? well, it now seems that Sister Margaret did not make the safest decision, one might even say that her impulsive act has set off a chain of events that no one could have anticipated… yeah, I know! I like Sister Margaret too! Watch for the Chapter later tonight, early tomorrow morning.

Item 3: well, that’s kinda already covered in Item 1

Item 4: so we were talking about the Doctrine and someone, I think it was Cynthia said, ‘I notice that I always end up getting bored, no matter how interesting or challenging or difficult a project might be at the beginning. You don’t suppose the Doctrine addresses that, do you?’ As a matter of fact, the Wakefield Doctrine does! The Wakefield Doctrine can say that it addresses virtually everything in life, because it’s concerned with relationships, not merely a list of activities, attributes, tendencies or inclinations. The Doctrine does not limit itself to providing a comprehensive list of things that hopefully match what a person ascribes to their own personality types. No, it does not. What the Wakefield Doctrine does, is direct our attention to the way, ‘we relate ourselves to the world around us‘. (Note the exact wordation. I didn’t mean to say, ‘we relate to the world around us‘, there is a huge difference in the two statements). So that’s why I think we can work with the topic that our accomplished friend has raised…. in the next Post! lol (sorry, gots to finish Chapter 20)

TToT -the Wakefield Doctrine-

January 31, 2025 By clarkscottroger

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

This is the Wakefield Doctrine’s contribution to everyone’s favorite gratitude blog(hop), the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT). New to this blog? Great. Read and enjoy. Or write a list of the first ten people, places or things that come to mind as ‘damn! glad that happened!’

Pretty simple, isn’t it?

How simple? Well, we (your Narrator and pro temp host) already have a new Grat to add to our own damn list! Can’t we get a ‘You’re Welcome!? Yes ‘sir. That easy. And fun.

ProTip: Writing fiction, a memoir, whatever, is meant for fun and enjoyment. Unless, a’course you’re a member of the Real-Writers-Hear-Us-Bore! union. No, this TToT place is: 1/3 the clubhouse you knew about as a kid and sometimes were allowed in and 1/2 the kind of place you would wish for your kids or dogs or any other lifeform that you’re gifted by being responsible for and 1/4 …did we say fun? Yeah, well, as the old saying reminds us, ‘Fun is something you allow yourself. No one else can do that for you.’

On with our List.

1) Phyllis

2) Una

3) the Wakefield Doctrine

4) the above (in the intro) hypothetical Reader. for listening to our wordage

5) the Six Sentence Story bloghop

6) the Unicorn Challenge bloghop

7) relative lack, (more, a deficiency) of snow for the time of year. (If this was Summer, we’d be saying, “Think it might rain some?” (and you might reply) ‘oh, Ayuh. Supposin’ it might. Been a dry one, though. Driest since aught six.’ Holy Shit! Just realized we’re in a point in time we can use ‘aught’ in a designation of a period of time. Don’t happen but once a century! Well, 20 years ago at this point. But you get what we mean.

8) our daily trip north to inspect our property (Bonus Grat!! They, (the owners), acknowledged that a zip code district is not the equivalent of a municipality. This they will admit.)

9) something, something

10) Secret Rule 1.3
