Six Sentence Story -the Wakefield Doctrine- [a Café Six]

October 3, 2024 By clarkscottroger

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

This is the Doctrine’s contribution to the Six Sentence Story bloghop.

Hosted by Denise defined by it’s numerical eponymous title.

Prompt word:

CLAW

The sign, in flaking gold-leaf letters against a time-sooted field of white read: East of Éclair and immediately below: Pâtissiers

…the tall, thin man turned to the Bartender, an impatient October wind pushing the brown cashmere scarf, his one concession to end of Summer, perpendicular to the storefront. “You know what we really need to offer our clientele at the Café?”

“Strippers?”

If an acquaintance, familiar with both, were asked what the signal characteristic of the man and woman currently forming a dyad on the seaside village’s brick-paved sidewalk, a shrug would be encyclopedic if not slightly inscrutable; as if to escape further scrutiny, the man in the Harris tweed jacket held the door for the multi-couture’d young woman.

The proprietor was of average height, her figure buxom in a cyclothymic-cheerleader sense and, though dressed in a fashion not atypical of the seaside village in the south of the coastal state, wore jewelry worth more than the shop, real estate included; display cases were set in the middle of the shoppe, glass-encased islands of flaky dough, confectioner’s sugar and a peripheral zephyr of cinnamon.

The tall, thin man smiled at the incidental benediction of a brass bell shouldered aside by the oak-and-glass entrance door; the Bartender, already looking for something to brush the powdered sugar from her lips was muttering, “Lions and tigers and bear claws, oh my!”

Offering his hand to the woman, the Six Sentence Café & Bistro manager smiled, “My associate and I would like to discuss establishing a business arrangement, one we trust our fellow Proprietors, Mimi and Chris and the Gatekeeper and, of course, Tom will surely applaud,” the more subversive of his eyebrows broke loose in the direction of the Bartender, “With or without exotic dancers, of course.”

Tuesday (this time for ‘real’) -the Wakefield Doctrine-

October 1, 2024 By clarkscottroger

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

Interesting topic today: creativity.

We’re totally willing to bet that the majority of Readers here, at the moment, are nodding and thinking, sub-rationally, ‘Gimme more’.

…except for one. Didn’t quite set that up properly. We did mean Readers, of course, But meant to infer the three predominant worldviews of the Wakefield Doctrine. Which only makes sense. This is a Wakefield Doctrine ‘See-an-Say’ post!

As in, Mondays, Tuesdays and, sometimes Wednesdays, we present, explain and otherwise hold-forth on the in-and-outs, ups-and-downs, whys-and-wherefores of everyone’s favorite personality theory.

…where were we?

Creativity. Probably worth noting that, on the first page of looking up the word, all but two were ads for something to do with ways to acquire, increase, enhance and/or monetize creativity (or a reasonable facsimile lol)

Hey! Can’t discuss qualities of the three personality types without mentioning ‘the Everything Rule’. Which states, ‘Everyone does Everything at One Time or Another’.

Pretty simple, isn’t it?

This excellent Rule reminds us that just as the three personality types are not about ingrained and/or innate traits, drives and style of interpersonal interaction. Everyday life is full of things to be interested in/ decide to pursue a career in/ inspired to a Calling and otherwise what one does when one is left their own devices.

And as our styles/social strategies/personality types are but products of our relationship with the world around us and the people who make it up, so too will the manifestation of talent reflect the tenor and tone of one’s personal reality.

So we can say:

clarks are the genuinely creative ones as they, in no small part due to their status as Outsiders, bring into reality that which is new, unique and without precedent. you ever encounter the expression ‘Ahead of their time’? clarks
scotts force of personality as palette and brush, sheer Will as stone block and chisel. Want to change the path? A scott will be the one to get everyone to hang a left
rogers are interesting. in them, creativity manifests as ‘inspired re-assembly’. that which is old and forgotten is re-configured to modern standards. think: anything with commercial success and popularity. From S King to K. Burns, their creativity is that which the Herd has longed for but wasn’t quite aware of until they see it.

all we have time for… submit your questions/objections/corrections in the comment section below. (Not to worry. Remember yesterday’s post? We’ll know which of the three you are by your comment.)

Monday (that would be Tuesday) -the Wakefield Doctrine-

September 30, 2024 By clarkscottroger

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

Open your pages to where we left off last week, please.

what?

Fine. Put your bookmarks into Page Wednesday.

Given we’ve hinted at a topic in our post title, lets go with:

With a proper understanding of the principles of the Wakefield Doctrine you will be a position to know more about the other person than they know about themselves.

It’s true.

ok, not to get all dramatic (aka rogerian) but we just pulled ourselfs out of a shortcut to posting this post. aka RePrint post.

Don’t get us wrong, it was a good ‘un. And made sense (for the early years, that is), but, if the truth be told, more often than one would think, we write to learn and practice this here personality theory here.

So, how is it we can know another person better than they know themselves?

When you are engaged with:

clark know that they will not tell you everything, as knowledge (and his slutty half-sister, information) is the only coin-of-the-realm they believe they have and, besides, revealing all about a person, place or thing invites scrutiny
scotts they act with out (necessarily) thinking, rely on their instincts and often battle their prey drive; any inquiry should be brief, succinct and lead to action or actions, hopefully involving chasing and retrieving
rogers words are nothing more than fricken coat hangers (mostly the cheap, dry-clean type with a non-slip cross piece, if you see the equivalency of anything close to a all-wood high quality hanger, like from a custom clothing shop, you have them at their most vulnerable. (Ain’t no time to indulge in R. King)

OK!

Tune in tomorrow when we talk: Creativity and three personality types of the Wakefield Doctrine
