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.

The Internet Is All A Twitter

Twitter
It was all the rage for the second year in a row at SXSW.
Its all the rage in every networking forum I am subscribed to.
What sounds like another silly social networking website with a silly name, Twitter, might be the one bit of Internet 2.0 hype you might fall for.
Twitter is defined by someone as a micro-blogging platform, and a way to keep up with what people are doing. But a more accurate but complicated description would be to call it a way to keep in the middle of a constant stream of conscience (although some may begin to seem unconscious) thought. It’s a way to have a conversation a lot like you would in text messages or IM's but you're not really bound by time, and just about anybody can join in.
And you can only send messages, called tweets, of 140 characters or less.
It’s an interesting way to communicate, and an interesting way to 'meet' people you would normally never run into on the street (because you could be a world away) or online (because you have to have a lot of patience to get past all the stupidity).
You really have to sign up and see it to really get a feel for it. And of course it's not for everyone. But many people find themselves giving it a second or third try when they hear friends and colleagues are getting into it, and eventually find themselves hooked. Just log in to http://www.twitter.com/ and sign up for a free account, and start following people to see what all the fuss is all about. if you need someone to follow, just go to http://www.twitter.com/djazzycool1 and see if what I have to say is worth your attention.
Hi thanks for the link! Followed you on Twitter =)
