Let's Take a Look...

Anyone reading this, so probably no one, or maybe just my Communications class, why don't we take a look at where each of us was at the beginning of this entire year...not the semester, but even the semester before that.
I was in California, all my friends had gone to college and I was stuck living at home with my parents, attending the nearest community college without any goals. I just had to go to school, ya know? Eventually I had to transfer...eventually I would graduate, and I guess after that...get a real job? Get married? It just felt like I was going on this steady route. However, after the first few months, I realized the only path I could be on was one to hell. I was doing badly at school, my only friends were those that were still in high school, and my hobbies consisted of sitting at home watching Netflix; I was a potato. I so desperately needed a wake up call and/or a new life.
When my friend came up with the idea to move to Utah, I was so against it. I needed to be somewhere else, I needed to be home, I had to work, I had to take care of the cats...there were so many excuses I had come up with before I finally made the choice to come to school here at UVU.
The decisions I made prior in my life, helped me man up for the moment I finally moved out for the first time. That day was the first time I'd cried in front of my mom since birth and the first time I actually felt love when hugging my sister(sisterly love hah). That very same day I had to drive ten hours with my dad, which drove me crazy, and that same day is the first time I had Costa Vida. All very big things!
I look back at this semester and think, "Wow"...I honestly cannot believe it's over. My roommates, whom attend BYU, are leaving and that is so sad because I love them. I have made so many new friends who are either going on Missions or going on internships. I've lost friends and made some, but I always remember a quote from one of my favorite songs (just to make this blog more musical haha)
"we hate what we lose, but we love what we find..."
SO excited to continue loving my life and school! Have a great summer everyone :)

Me, Myself, and I

Hello everyone, my name is Joshua Daniel Vincenzo Urquiza Thompson...that's my name in full. This blog is going to be a music. I know what you're thinking, another music blog. On this blog I will talk about the music I love and listen to, and if you're also interested in my taste, I will also post helpful links like guitar tabs for chords, or even a tutorial taught by me or some other trustworthy instructor. Every once in a while, if I really like a song, I will also post covers of songs. Enjoy
