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.

Believing The Hype: The 4-Hour Work Week
Friday, May 25, 2007
As one who prides himself on not blindly falling into the rush of hype, this afternoon I bought a copy of The 4-Hour Work Week(actually, I bought a copy of The 4-Hour Work Week Audio Book) after readingseveralblogpostings on the book in the past week or so. About an hour into the 8-hour book I am impressed with the material and glad I took the suggestions from my online brain trust of bloggers...but I am a little worried about succumbing to the rush of jumping on the next great thing.
I think it might be a personal worry not really having a group or set of similar 'living-breathing' people to bounce ideas with, and have substituted online communities and blogs in its stead. I miss having people to talk about many of the new ideas and concepts coming out, as my level of 'perfectionism' 'professionalism' isn't matching with my current profession as well as I would hope. And part of that comes from working way to much and not getting enough out of it, hence, I bought the book.
