Lesson I took from this film is how you can go out of your mind sometimes acting irrationally thinking it's the right thing to do. This man had a dream but watched everything else around him crumble to get it, he lost those he loved leave him and when he finally reached his goal it wasn't who he wanted. In the end he ended back with his true friends and family. Powerful story.

[@hurrikanedream4266]

He alwayz had his family. What he lost was his heart. His heart was the woman that stood by him until she couldnt. He had to live and learn on his own. Yes he did end up joining up with his one true love and his right hand man. Its a very amazing movie. Its another lesson of life of what is reaaly important. Its another meaning of HOME.

This song struck a cord with me the first time I heard it. I think we all long for that someone who'll stand by us, even when everyone else is walking away. Several years later I found that someone. I'm so lucky that I found her and that she sticks by me in both my colorful and gray moments. We made it our wedding song.

[@John-cg4he]

martyapo good god, what an awesome post! I found that girl years ago and I was too stupid to realize it. I'm alone now and I think of her always. I wish i were as lucky as you. Good job and I hope your life is awesome now

[@jamestaylor3879]

martyapo your posting was moving. Yes you're right we all long for that special person who will be right there thick or thin. For me the thing on was searching for. More than any other was fight for me/us. That the relationship was important enough to struggle for, to sacrifice for, to do whatever it took/takes to make things work far beyond those initial pie in the sky fantasy times when reality hits home. Instead of being involved with a super being perfect in each and every way that in fact the person we chose to be with is a normal Human Being with flaws and imperfections there right alongside the strengths and talents that attracted you initially. For me I've fought for everyone else in my life. I am cursed, or blessed, with loads of empathy for others. I'm able to easily effortlessly put myself into others positions and feel what they do just as strongly. I therefore cannot stand bullies of any kind. All of my physical fights except for one, have been in defence of others too weak, for whatever reason, to defend themselves. Usually that turned out to be the steroid types who would want to kick off the evening by really impressing the ladies by kicking the crap out of someone. It wouldn't be much fun, and certainly fail to achieve the desired results if they themselves ended up on the loosing end of things or hurt or even if the fight was close nope, no fun atall! So to ensure nothing of that sort occurs they pick the smallest weakest geekiest person in the entire place with at least a 100 pound of advantage. Everything goes perfect right up until this tall skinny dude pops up out from nowhere. Still not a problem as steroid still outweighs skinny by a lot. But it is going to be a fight cause skinny isn't going to abandon geek dude and amazingly skinny doesn't appear scared, even after the threats and yelling that scared everyone else. The thing that really stuns though is that the first hit doesn't drop skinny and in reply skinny returns four for the one initial hit. Steroid has already lost her just doesn't know it. After the confrontation skinny leaves without most even being aware because for him the night has been ruined so no need to stay. Skinny hates violence hates fighting thinks there is no more less intelligent way of handling problems but sometimes necessary. All my life's been like that, most times not physical bit this a good example. I was adopted my brother wasn't so my dad pursued my brothers love and affection and didn't much care for mine, he supported his dreams and pursuits financially and otherwise. All kids need a little help but not with mine.i was within 100 dollars of achieving my lifelong dream of being a commercial pro pilot. I had the rest of my schooling paid for, at the best school in the world even, but I had to get my private license first and only lacked the final flight test the hundred bucks. My then mother in law then sabotaged me by enacting a plan she had been working on for months prior. It worked very well as it cost me my job and prevented me from getting another job, borrowing money from others, or even getting to my training field if I could have found some other way. Her Plan was insideous, brilliant and perfect. I found out years later, when she called out of the blue to apologize, turns out she was very ill and being old then, believed she might be dying so was clearing her conscious- and Here I thought she didn't have one... But she told me that her reason, only reason, was she believed that when I got my private licensce and then went to the flight school in Florida, even though not far from Dallas where we then lived, that I would take her daughter with me and away from her. Worse still that when I completed my training in Florida then was hired with an airline that who knows where in the world I would take her daughter away to. I knew exactly however. I had a job lined up with American Eagle Airlines, the commuter feeder airline of American and I knew too that American Eagle was being acquired by American soon. By now I would have been a very senior Captain flying international routes and flying competition aerobatics as a hobby. Or I would be a professional aerobatics racing pilot flying the Red Bull circuit if everything went exactly as I wanted and planned.... But I lost my dream. I can go on and tell you about the most recent time a family member betrayed me blocking me from getting the sales job I had been working hard to get from the time I realized I would never be a pilot. The job that would finally allow me some comfort and a retirement to look forward to as I had nothing before being forced to live paycheck to paycheck. And many other 5hings like that. But it boils down to me fighting for and defending everyone around me, even those I didn't know but nobody ever never fighting for me. All's I want is to find somebody who believes that when that reality hits, when problems start to. Occur as they always do in life from time to time that they're willing to work through the problems WITH me as a team as partners... But in today's day and age it's till the first problem or hardship does us part not till death as it used to be. Sad n sucks. But true. I'm very happy for u that u managed to find one of the few that will stick it. Out. U r extremely lucky.

Was fortunate enough to see the lead singer of the Verve Pipe in a small setting when the company I worked for booked him for our yearly celebration. He sang a few newer songs and then asked what people wanted to hear. Of course I said this, and later instead of asking for Freshman which is the obvious answer I asked for Penny if Poison. He played it to perfection.

Tim Owens is my friend. This movie is loosely based on him joining Judas Priest and moving on. He actually does some acoustic sets now and he has put out amazing original music.

[@Bigbaymonstermare]

I love love love this song. I messaged Brian Vander Ark and said, “everyone requests ‘The Freshman’ and tells you it’s one of their favourite songs….it’s one of mine too. But your opus was ‘Colourful’” He replied and thanked me and then said “I agree with you and you’re right, and no one has quite put it that way before…I love the song ‘Colourful’ and the lyrics are better, in my opinion. Thank you for not telling me ‘The Freshman’ was my greatest song…because this song is my favourite and the one I’m proudest of”. I have seen this movie countless times. My son splits his time between Canada for the school year and the U.K. for his breaks. He’s coming the day after Christmas and will be 16 in May and has discovered a love for metal music. I’ve told him we’re watching this (my ex-husband and I count this in our top ten, no, five, movies, but my son hasn’t seen it yet and given his music interests, I know he’ll love this film!) and I told him how he’s named for Myles Kennedy. When I was pregnant, my ex and I each made a list of ten names we mulled over for months. We made a big deal out of it and when we each made our respective lists, we traded them. We crossed out what we didn’t like and merged them to make a list of 7 names. Originally, before we made the lists, we decided on and agreed that we loved the name Seamus (pronounced “Shay-muss”) and it fit my ex husband’s Scottish heritage. We made the mistake of telling people and both my mother and his mother told us how much they hated it and how awful it was. It ruined it for us. I can’t remember all the names on our short list, but the rules were: - it had to be easy to pronounce; - easy to spell; - could not be an alliteration (his last name starts with “R”, so no “R” first names); - had to be something that was fairly unique that most people have never met a person with this name, but they knew how to spell it and pronounce it; - not so trendy that it would fall out of favour; Unfortunately, his name became popular after we selected it, purely by chance. But we spelled it “Miles” on our list and when in labour, I kept thinking “Miles to go, miles to go” and Tristan was our runner up. When suddenly, I had on my playlist, a Myles Kennedy song. When it came on, I woke my ex-husband up and said “listen!” He listened and looked up at me and smiled. He said “that’s it!” And that’s how we changed the spelling and my son became Myles, named after Myles Kennedy. I was listening to *Alter Bridge* and the gorgeous song *_”Watch Over You”_* .
