Yeah, just wait until your mind starts filling back up with ideas again. It happens more frequently and more rapidly the more you listen to music.

And the reason I compare it to defacating is simply put: I never get what I want, and it's for the smallest reasons I can never pinpoint (otherwise, I'd get what I want - ahh irony).

Anyone have any suggestions for advanced tonal harmony reading that I can be looking into (preferrably on a free website somewhere)? I've been looking around here, but all I seem to be able to find are mostly things I already know. It's just a pain in the ass to fumble my way through the harmonies I want to use. There's got to be a better way.
