In middle school, I got really into the band Blue October after a girl I had a crush on at Jew camp shared her headphones with me during a rest period. Their live album from 2004 is called Argue With A Tree and I really resonated with the first song on the album which is about not needing another person to make you happy. The line my username actually comes from is a song about being young and grappling with mental illness (How did I get here? I was the little boy who would argue with a tree). The band's raw honesty with regard to mental illness is still something I really admire even though I don't listen to them any more. It wasn't even one of my favorite songs but I really liked the idea behind arguing with a tree and the futility of railing against nature especially when juxtaposed with the album cover. It also makes a good username because on the Internet sometimes I feel like I might as well be arguing with a tree.
