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.

What Does It Take To Be A Talk Radio Producer?
Thursday, June 05, 2008
Last weekend, I was wandering through Radio Shack on the look out for a few headphone adapters, and the sales guy was doing a little question probing in hopes to eek out a sale (I understand the procedure, being a former Radio Shack sales person myself). When he asked what I did for a living, I told him I was a Radio News Producer. When he asked what a Radio News Producer actually does, I rattled of a laundry list of random things that seemingly any idiot can accomplish, but for some reasons, I am often the only one that can figure it out at the time.
I though about it a few hours later, and my wife. I ofter fire back at my wife when she asks what I did that day at work that I 'basically yell at people and cuss a lot.' Which brings up this new, but soon to be classic sports meltdown by Seattle Mariners Manager John McLaren.
I know the feeling. I'm a Network Consultant and somedays it feels like all I do is scream at computers, bite my tongue with clients, and cuss a lot.
TGFI :)
I enjoy your blog.
