Some of the Most Beautiful Beach Accesses on the West Coast. This is more of a personal project that I created for my little cousin Heather. It is mainly a montage of her working out her difficulties through a walk along the Ocean's Edge. It's a more beautiful and relaxing piece of media.
...And You Thought I Was The One Letting Something Pass Me By... There where many things I wanted to show you, share with you, take you to, or explore with you...
After April 19th when I almost passed on, in nights that I couldn't find any serenity in my empty home, I wondered: If I would've died, would you of cried like what I've confided matters?

A Pattern or a Problem
Theres something I've always been hard on myself about. I've always known that writing is just how I deal with how I feel. But even after all those years, I... I've always concealed how I feel. When I become emotional, I isolate myself. I think too much independence can be subjectively adverse. Usually, I'm not one to want to lay weight on someone's shoulders, so I often suppress what I don't confess. Then it bottles up. I think the reasons I choose not to confide how I'd feel to the few I crush for is because I've always had my kindness taken advantage of. I've always overwhelmed myself, much-less someone else. After all the industrial materialism, I think my generation not-knowingly became more obsessed with what they have rather than who they are. I think this obscures possibilities of genuine love. And when you want it the most, theres no easy way out. Faith is thin in this generation so I feel like a part of a minority that truly DOES believe in love because I've felt it once before and my parents are living proof. I'm anti-adultery and some how a lot of people have a consensus in this generation that discourages genuine emotional measures at the same time it's oriented around a sex-obsessed culture. I believe people oughtta have more reasons for trusting something that will last passed trivial or temporary times. I've always believed love to be ecstasy and laughter. And thats why it's SUPPOSED to be HAPPILY ever after. But I guess my ideas of love are more magical than industrial. Maybe thats why I'd love to discover it again beyond America.
My Perspectives, Philosophies, and Notions Regarding Religion... Or What I Like To Call Spirituality
I find the Bible to be interesting. The stories, whether you refer to them for spiritual health, historical studies, or personal reasons, they are definitely interesting. Some are hard core too. It is as if several people all saw some of the same things and provided separate 1st-person accounts of some of the most amazing world events.
However, I also believe that some aspects of other world religions have validity too. In Buddhism, the concept of karma is something very significant in my eyes. There is usually a lot in my eyes though. Of all things, I tend to be bias to Jesus more so than most because, in my eyes, other world religions are man attempting to reach God, while Christianity (to me) is more God trying to reach man. I believe everybody that belongs in heaven is pre-destined. Some just find out sooner than others.
My ideas of Revelations are my favorite topic out of the Bible because it is the only book that happens to apply to the present point in time as well as the future, besides the book of Daniel. I also like the Song of Solomon but Revelations was written by John the Baptist and it was his visions or dreams that pertain to the way the world would be before the 2nd coming. The End of Days in other words.
I believe the end of one era is a beginning of another. And we are still in an ideal Ice Age. Once so many things come to pass after these next decades, there happened to be a prophetic idea that entailed a Golden New Age and 1000 years of peace. In my mind I would imagine the concept of currency in new ways. As well as an extremely higher portion of the brain utilized at large. A world that humans had more senses in. One that was filled with an understanding that lead to living in the most beautiful circumstances. No greed. No selfishness. No confusion. No turmoil. No division. No adultery. No Anguish.
This world should exist several decades after 2013.

In the Midst of My Mind in Times That Mattered Most.
I think its comforting to believe that what ever exists beyond our comprehension, can understand me for everything that no other human can understand me for. Time is of the essence. YOU will live to see all things. My sign is the center of the solar system; It provides light, heat, and energy. I have foreseen the sum of all my dreams and ambitions, but have been held back by pharmaceutical conditions. I mediate between the victims and the systems. Then when I am soon gone, I hope to find the jungle with some one...
Hopefully*
By my fourth decade in life. I'd like to ultimately be out of America, honestly. The beauty in this world is only restricted from those that don't or won't obtain their true self-made sense of success. After this is accomplished, the options of an open wonderful world are actually possible. Its a lack of focus that prevents people from obtaining that TRUE feeling of "freedom." Maybe thats a reference to some form of meditation. Or a new magical medication. My idea of freedom isn't anything possible in America because everywhere is a pricetag or an expense. The best things in life are not material. True beauty lies at the beaches. In the rainforests. On the islands. In travel. And also in one worth a bigger picture. Faith is vital even though mine is often tested at times because I have problems with patience and anxieties.... But all for the right reasons I guess. To think that Faith itself will permit more than what I worry for in this present point in time, will basically reassure me that maybe everything DOES happen for a reason.....

My Inaugration
I completed my first feature film in the spring of 2007 at Southern Oregon University. It is a musical montage. The music is expressed as a political perspective that pertains to the way the world is at war, crisis, and conflict. A lot like the end of days. The images within the film however, are interesting things captured in video throughout my old apartment. The visuals are references to intellectual and spiritual matters. Biblical references, Astrological references, references to the times that I was transfered through my fair share of hospitals as well as a ward during an intense and critical psychosis, and there is also references to my uncle that is living in prison for the rest of his life. Throughout this work of mine, it illuminates foo dogs, the hydra, and The "Rider on the White Horse" out of The Book of Revelations. It also displays a true sense of self within me since 8th grade. It gives subliminal meanings to a "powerful and just" Lion. I personally presume that it reflects me at my highest hopes and biggest wishes. A lot like Aslan himself. And it concludes with a shining light holding itself true over the pendant of St. Christopher.

How I view The World
Me and two close friend got together on the annual reunion in our hometown of Bandon Oregon. We disregarded the law and found a balance between substance and caffeine. Then engaged in a discussion oriented around the notion of creating a blog that entitled an endless amount of anonymous inputs; People creating their contributions toward a site that reflected "How They View The World..." I decided to be the first entry.
I simulated a creative writing piece over an intense musical instrumental. Then I fashioned a piece of media in the form of Scrolls: Crumology 101. An Enlightened Work of Brief Philosophy Glowing In The Rain. Ideas pertaining to Zeitgeist, New World Order, An Astrological Aeon & Coming Messiah, Judgment Day, Evolution, And Utilizing A Higher Portion Of The Human Brain At Large.

BEFORE THE WAR(D)
Justin Crum reflects on a day and place when his sanity started to slip. A Student Film. A True Story. An epic for abnormal psychology. One of the many episodes within an age that he suffered a Psychosis. A very Powerful Experience.
This film was used by a PhD. Psychology Professor named Anny Mueller at South Western Oregon Community College to conduct seminars with. She showed it to all of her psychology students at SWOCC (with my granted permission) on campus at the coast. She felt "What better way for students to learn of something of that nature than from someone who has experienced it themselves. And even more so, it's a visual piece of media. Students would love to watch something personal and powerful because it sure as hell beats bookwork" : )
"I remember the battle in my teenage body that lead me to be baptized. I remember rendering predictions in the midst of my psychosis that came true later in reality too. I remember waking up to a New World Order from a hospital bed. I remember how my mother said, 'Its a New Beginning'. I remember all the needles, cat-scans, and urine analyses I subject to through three different consecutive hospitals."
"This is the 4th little feature film I've created. Its the first one I actually acted in and wrote a narrative for. It pertains to a turning point in my life. I became irrational and rendered my own outrage."

Crum and Jake @ Mt. Ashland
Crum and Jake take the Camera to Mt. Ashland. Ridin' in the snow and just havin' a blast. A lot of hilarious clips and some cool video shots. The Lost Piece, My First Jamaican Rosta Song: The Power To VOTE, Gettin' lifted, and Saying My GoodByes. I also included an ending musical instrumental I produced in Multimedia Class called 'Subtle Beauty.' Crumology Productions 5th short feature film. First film with no relations to any academic endeavor. The only of 5 that had nothing to do with college.
