Welcome to the online home of me, some guy given the name John Cleveland Payne. In the grand scheme of life, I am just another guy with another blog. But to myself, and hopefully to all of you who actually read this, I am something a little more special. From a young age, I fell in love of the idea of ‘the message’ and medium in which you try to transmit.
Basically, everyone has a message to give to the world. Some are basic, some complex, some have the power to up lift and some are just out there to bring as many people down as possible. But everyone has a message, and most people have problems identifying their message. And the ones who get that far can seem to figure out how to get the world to listen.
Well, I have a message, and this is where I will get a chance to share it. Hopefully, you’ll get plenty of things to keep you motivated or inspired, provide knowledge and comfort, and just have a little fun. Apologies for the state of flux and state of seemingly confusing messages that you’ll get here for a while, as I am doing a lot of personal soul searching, and scrubbing of old ideas to take the best of the past to build a new beginning.
In 2007, I changed the name of blog from “The Mis-Adventures Of The Jazzy Cool One” to “Life In Fast Forward.” I began to tear down old blogs and newsletters and try to find places for them here. My goal is to take the focus off of me the person, and show the world the life I live and share with every human on the planet. I aspire to life at a very high standard, and instead of dealing with people who rather slow us down, I want to find ways to help people pick up there own pace. As you get to see an insight to the further adventures I hope to lead, hopefully you’ll enjoy the ride, and want to come along.

Time for a little self-promotion. If you're looking for that perfect pick-me-up to get your day started, I suggest you subscribe to my Thoughts for the Day Newsletter. Seven days a week, you get a very short email with a motivational quote to get your day started and a topic question based on that quote for personal reflection or to use as a topic for your daily journal. It's a great little opener to your morning, or a nice thing to close out your evening.
I hope Rita Cosby is making a nice, fat check from MSNBC. I like to think I am a fan, if you can call it that, of her work over at Fox News and all attempts to keep from being the new power cable news babe of the moment. Now that she is the new power cable news babe of the moment, up against Greta Van Susteran at CNN and Hannity & Combs on Fox, one has to wonder if the new show "Live and Direct" is a plus to her or a minus to the counter-programming that created "The Situation with Tucker Carlson."
But let me get back on point. Rita Cosby first episode is a much overhyped interview with the two old white people from Michael Jackson's latest trial, who I will affectionately call 'Ted Turner,' because I thought he looked like Ted Turner in the after trial press conference, and 'Marge Schott,' because that was best I could come up with at the moment. They say MJ's guilty, they tried to voice that opinion, and were basically shunned for being really old and really white. A third juror, who will have her exclusive interview tomorrow, was on a similar vein, but was shunned for being really Asian and barely a citizen (naturalized two years ago).
Look, I know these guys all have books to sell, and that it did keep the coverage of non-stop Peter Jennings' colleagues singing his praises down a little bit. I'm not sure how 'exclusive' these interviews will be if its covering news from months ago.
