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.

Impossible Mission #2 Selection
Sunday, June 15, 2008
As you would have guessed, I have chosen become a professional bowler as my next Impossible Mission.
There are three ways to become a member of the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA):
A 200 average or better for the most recent league season with at least 36 games in that league.
A 190 average or better in a sanctioned USBC Sport Bowling League. This is a league run by the USBC using the PBA patterns. You can find out if there are sports leagues near you by contacting the USBC at (414) 421-6400.
Cashing in a PBA Regional tournament as a non-member. You can gain access to information on entering regional tournaments on pba.com.
My plan is raise my skill level by bowl three games a week, and looking for a league in the fall. Of course, in my first outing a month ago, I was horrible. This time, not much better. Game one score at 124, game two scored at 96, and game three scored at 95, for an average of 105. The main factor to work on is concentration (might need to leave the wife behind when bowling for practice), followed by consistency.
