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.

Hitting The Road...
Saturday, June 07, 2008
I am on the road very early to spend some time with my family in Baton Rouge for the weekend. With gas prices as high as they are, my income as low as it is, and the complete time and energy drain it takes spending 14 hours round trip, with an estimated home arrival time two hours before I have to be at work, this weekend is a total inconvenience. But when the chance to undertake this inconvenience materialized, I jumped at the chance to take it.
Knowing just how weird I am about people, I have a very tight bond went it comes to family (I had to convincing the wife that all the yelling is just the fact we are a pretty loud family on both my mom and dad’s sides). When I get the chance to spend some time, especially with my niece and nephew, just about any amount of pain and punishment turns out to be worth it. It’s a part of my attempts to be more human, more or less, and despite the fact I just take it out on my co-workers when I’m cranky, it works out.
One cousin gets married today at 2pm, another has a dance recital at 2pm tomorrow. I am assuming I’ll be stuck watching the 10-year-old and under cousins, since everyone seemed to get a kick out of watching me be tourtured. But it is well worth it.
Rembermer, some things are really worth the hassle and hardship they may brings. Figure out what they are for your life, and put in the time nessicary to make it work out.
