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.

Be Careful Who You Blog About
Monday, January 28, 2008
Who would have thought that a 233 word newsletter blurb written years ago would come to the light of day?
The blurb in particular deals with a name from my past (the 8th grade to be precise), in a writing for my You Already Have The Answers Newsletter (you can subscribe to this newsletter by sending a blank email to: youalreadyhavetheanswers-subscribe@yahoogroups.com). The name is Demeter McIntosh, and she was an instant crush I had from a grade school retreat a long time ago. The only proof I even have of her existence is a photo with her I have in a shoebox somewhere that I was almost too shy to pose for. Anyway, I used her name as one of five girls from way back when in a posting on giving up on blame and just letting go of hard feelings, which was written in my early 30's, 15 years after brief encounter where I was truly too shy to call the cute girl back when I got home.
So I'm going through some analytics on some of my websites and blogs, and I notice that I've gotten a rare uninitiated hit to the very scaled down Answers Website, and wonder what random search brought them there, and if I can use that knowledge to revive my very much loved if very long neglected site.
I don't know if it was a search for my Demeter McIntosh, and I don't really care. What I got was a reminder that you never really know what odd random search might bring new traffic to your site, and you never really know what will keep them there either. Just be careful to remember what you happen to post on that blog where you carelessly put random bits of your life. You may never know, for good or ill, what may find its way to your online world, and what they will do with this knowledge.
