Why I'm Moving to Santa Monica...


I posted a thing on Facebook saying i'm moving to Santa Monica and got a few people asking why and I realized that I haven't really updated my blog on the whole situation. So in a way this an update to "Nashville and Chasing Dreams"

Quick recap, I'm not gonna be happy with life in the long run unless I'm doing what I love and am passionate about, which is music. In order to do that I've gotta go to college and Belmont University is the best fit for me. I can't get into Belmont University (in Nashville) on my high school grades alone. So I've decided to pretty much go with Option B in my last blog about the situation, which is go to community college in Santa Monica for a year and then transfer to Belmont. Problem with that was it would take me a year and half of community college to get the credits I needed, so I decided to start early, which is why I went to San Jose City College for the Fall semester.

Why go to community college in Santa Monica instead of The Bay Area??

Why the f not. No offense to the bay area, its my home, but i'm kinda bored of it. I'll come back eventually and settle there. For now though, I want to see the world and I'm pretty sure i'll only have when i'm young to do it. I don't have a career or wife and kids holding me down yet. So now's my chance. I've always thought about living in LA, so i'm gonna take this opportunity and take it. Its only a year. Then I move to Nashville for the next three. Then back home to hopefully San Jose or Fremont. During those three years at Belmont though, i'm really hoping I can do the study abroad thing and spend a semester in Australia and another semester in Italy.
