Pusser's Pain Killer?? Bahama Mama??! I'm Down : )

Full Moon Rising... Each One Means Something Different ~ My Favorite Was The One in August* The One That Strikes Me Extremely Curious is the one of 2010* No Reason Particular, butt Fore sight might lead me to be bewildered* Such an experiment to consider for an uncertain near future of winter radiance~
















An Island Hop* From One Fantasy to Another ~ With No Remorse* Wish Ya coulda Made It Sweetie:)




White Magic?? The Only Literal Magic I even Care For Besides Celtic Legends*




I went to the Green house and I drank a Pusser's Pain Killer with my own pain killers. I killed pain first than I drank a Bahama Mama. 2 Drinks, 2 Pills, 2 Bowls, And a Broke hand from the Jungle.

I told my boy Max from Cali that when get back to the West, I am gonna get x-rays of my hand and develop them into a poster.

Since the jungle and the way I re-broke my hand, I have been eating my 'doctor-vitamins' for pain-related thangs. Physical pain never bothers me as much as the other 2 types even though it is the other 2 types that show no visual scar.

But to eat a buncha Rum at tropical places I still ain't seen (even though these days is my end), I drank a particular Rum-Painkiller at the Same time I took onna Bahama Mama!! :)

My Children's Book Came Together ~ And I Had a Dream of a Distant Angel*

Just a Thought* A Goddess Mermaid among the Tropic Dolphins*














This is something I saw on the Wall where I published my first children's book at*
















And When I Would've Loved To Leave America Behind for Something More~

It Seems That Sometimes I see more in people than What they actually see themselves for... Imagine*



I had an emotional day in a way. I had a rough draft printed of my first published book. It is Irish Island Pirate Crum. I got back and felt like I mighta been havin' a hard day because I just needed to sleep a little. I took a nap...

I had a dream that I was standing 3 feet in front of a really cute angel. She had her hair pulled back and she was crying right in front of me. I remember her eyes because she looked in mine with them. She told me she couldn't wait for me... I understood. Then I woke up. I would've chose to hug her though*

Cut My Hand With a Chainsaw ~ Tore it Up in the Jungle ~ Found the Thrill ~ Heard Kind Words ~ & a Cannabis Seminar*

My Caribbean Brothers Joe and Ray*

They had my back about it all man~




















In the jungle today, I gouged a wound in my hand with the chainsaw. My good buddy Steve Prosterman bought a new chainsaw for me to be unleashed with. I broke 2 of them already (or maybe 3 or 4). So this new chainsaw was about 5 times more powerful. I cut my hand open with it. It made a boomerang in my hand. It thought that was symbolic because I left home once to chase certain things, and now, like a boomerang, I am coming back to the Yellow Brick Road: Home.

What was such a beautiful out of this world memory for me in his jungle I work at, is that I cut down the hugest tree in his whole exotic forest. It was a tree that was so tall it must have been several centuries old. Once I fell it, it opened the whole jungle to a gust and sudden rush of wind. I watched it timber, then through the ravine, the element of wind was released into an enclosed jungle. It was so magical and awesome. I'll never forget it maan*

Then me and my bro Joe went on a cruise through the island. We listened to The Thrill. It is the anthem of my Caribbean Dreams. I realized after letting go, that once closure came, so did everything else. Maybe letting go of everything means that you might actually have everything* As I was by myself (not really literally) it dawned on me how many things I made happen. You win some, you lose some... But I guess you live to travel and give again. Everyday is something I am thankful for because I still remember that I am not even actually supposed to be alive... I mean, I am, of course; Meaning it just must not of been my time. But I am only here because I made the choice to be. The day of my accident, if I would have chose to lay there and suffer after hitting the trees that hard, I would have passed on in 15 minutes. If I would have been transferred to the hospital I was literally saved at in an ambulance, I would have died on I-5 on 4 wheels. If it wasn't for me snowboarding down that mountain after I didn't even know where I was once I hit the trees, and if it wasn't for the helicopter Paul called for life-flight, I would not be here right now. I would have never discovered Ireland... Or a friend... Or the things I had to feel here in the Caribbean. People still ask me about my scar and my tattoo all the time. There has been so many people who have made it a point to go out of their way to say that they will miss me so much.

It reminds me of a dream I had the morning I seen someone for the first time back home. In that dream she said she missed me and she was wearing red and leaning on my shoulder with a truthful smile that indicated a happiness that seems vague and vivid. She was wearing red, which indicated something in my interpretations that I am choosing to keep to myself. Something that may present truth or not in times soon enough. We'll see.

But for the people here who ask me when I am going home, many of them wish me to stay. I have too many medical problems and this place ain't home in my eyes. It is a Paradise to come back to soon enough. I ran into Gemma again, she seen my internet book for the first time. A lot of people have at this point and their first description is the word 'interesting.' I seem to hear that a lot. She said she is going to show all of her friends in Dominica because she believed it to be really cool and she was thrilled to see that I put how we met in my internet book about my island life. It is everything people in Dominica would love a lot.

I gave Vernel a post card of the beaches I'm from. She was always a very sweet woman who exerted kind words and genuine concerns in times that despair was clearly in my eyes. Sweetness and concern are 2 things that only someone like me would appreciate immensely. After getting food, I saw a homie here who had a long sad face.

"Rashad, whats wrong man? I see you looking solitary and sad over here. What's happenin'?"

"I lotta shits goin on maan."

"I know, I can tell. Thats why I'm here."

He smiled. Then I cracked a lotta hilarious humor and talked about 2pac and one of our Professors I imitate really well. He went from being sad to smilin' in an instant. I like it when people smile after havin' been sad. I say that for myself as well.

Somethings in my past life I can't shake. Home is just days away and it seems that I am just as nervous as I am comfortable. I'm just as enthralled as I am overwhelmed.

Now~ :)

My brother Joe from Orlando had a psychology presentation to do in his class. He chose to do a presentation on medical marijuana. I was his show and tell!! See, I represented Oregon and my card and gave a seminar in the class about my medical conditions. About how I eat 3 drugs and use one medicinal herb. And every single one of them are documented and validated through The Department of Human Services, and afforded by the Oregon health plan, which is some of the best medical coverage possible for someone like me. This show and tell was hilarious! Me being a cannabis activist at the same time I was bein' a scholarly comedian, these people got a kick out of it. I explained every medical benefit that outweighs most pharmaceutical concoctions that have adverse side-affects. They were very entertained and just as equally curious. Before this though, Joe was so pumped because I brought a lot to the table for his presentation so much that his excitement was something he rehearsed before class.

He says, "I'm gonna play a Slightly Stoopid video to set the mode, then I am gonna hand out the flier I made with all medical truths according to federal sources, then I am gonna read my paper, then I'm gonna introduce you and you gonna take the floor for it aite? Like, 'This is Justin Fuckin' Crum.' Those was his exact words. God, he was pumped for me man. That was quite a moment. It gave good flashbacks of my past life last spring with the girl I really liked a lot... Lady Nina*

Biggest Ship in the World ~ Smallest Island on Earth ~ Savanna Underwater Caves**

My Brother Joe, Holdin' Down What Everyone is Taking On




Never Felt Better Ever*











I Damn near went to Puerto Rico today. Our last Dive of the Year and we went so far away from St. Thomas. I ain't never seen such a thing in my life. A place called Savanna. I went through several underwater caves. I think it was about 70 feet deep. I went through a current underwater as well as a luminous water channel that took you to a hidden light above. A surface hole above a deep underwater cave tunnel. I was dumb-founded.

Then I saw myself looking at something that was literally huger than the Titanic that was sunk after being shipped from Belfast. That was crazy to me. It was fantastic*

THE OASIS OF THE SEAS!! : )

Dr. David Hall & Myself*
















Scuba in the Caribbean


There is over 20,000 tourists here in St. Thomas right now!!! My Caribbean brother Lamont is gonna swoop me and Stino and we gonna go find it after my last scuba dive!! How fun.

It is over at Crown Bay right now, just passed KRUM BAY. Sometimes it's spelled like way it was when I was in high school. It is the hugest ship in the world with all kinds of stars, and powerful people.

I just met the president too. I spoke with him in his awesome office here at UVI. He asked me what caused me to select this place of all places. I gave him my answers and also let him know that I found there was a Bay here that is my last name. I also told him about the values of gain and loss. I told him of the adventures I had here as well as my observations about the island anarchy and crazy crime rate that transcends New York City. He asked my major and what I enjoyed about the classes I had here. I told him that his speech is in the first section of my island life here in the Virgin Islands is something I included into my electronic journalism. Something about how "Faith Conquers fear. And hard work is mightier than doubt."

I told him of all the great things I had a chance to see and say. I let him know that my professors learned just as much from me as I had from them. He was curious about my parents* I told him all about them~

I'm gonna go to the reefs for the last Caribbean Fun dive of my time here and after, I am gonna take the pictures of this world's largest vessel**** + **

And Dominica?!! Gemma Thanx!! Champaign Reef?! Aite* I'll be back*

My Dominican Summer in 2012??!
Maybe If I Wanna :)















I Know there isn't anywhere I CAN'T go.

"Hey, I was looking for you."

"I'm Here."

"This is what I told you about on the Safari."

"Yeah?"

(It turns out, on the way back to my residence in North here at UVI, I came across a woman who was asking of me on the safari. She told me she is from Dominica and she noticed I dive deep because she seen me walkin' with my fins.)


(earlier in the day on the safari)

"What's your major?"

"I do video production, media, music, and books. Basically creative works I guess."

"Your not marine biology?"

"Nah, I got scuba here and history courses too."

"We run a dive shop down in Dominica and we've noticed you. I have something I want to give you."


It turns out, right when I went back to my room she found me where I said I'd be. When she found me, she told me about Champagne Reefs and how Dominica is the most Beautiful underwater adventures. That there are species there in that sea that aren't anywhere else.

Champagne Reefs in Dominica is underwater springs that are HOT.

She gave me a DVD from the company that is laced with contact information. Before she left I said, "You haven't formally introduced yourself to me."

"I'm Gemma."

"Is that spelled how it sounds?"

"Uh-huh."

Thanks, I'll be back when I can escape the real world again later on. I'll hit you up*
