A couple of sps once every 2 months or so. Many times they'll be repeats, which is why i'm still in this. I like familiarity. It wasn't always this way, of course. But i've grown to realize i was throwing money away and not having anything to show for it afterwards. I got pretty tired of feeling like that. And after 17 years of 'hobbying', i'm pretty much experienced-out and the entire thing has become too routine. I'd make a call to see someone in a couple of hours, and an hour later i'd tell myself "what the hell did i do? why the hell am i seeing someone when i don't really feel like seeing anyone?" That's why i now prefer seeing girls i've seen in the past whom i had good times with. I'm as excited to see them walking in and catch up on things than i am towards the upcoming lovemaking part. Been there, done that. Which is why i've tried out different experiences over the past few months. Items i needed to check off my bucket list. Actually, i now prefer to take a girl out to dinner at a good restaurant and spend a good time with her over a few hours than simply give her money to have sex with me, which more often than not leaves me with an empty feeling. Chester Brown's book had so much similarities with me.
My trips to Mtl now are definitely not to see sps. They're to meet up with friends (which also include lady friends), check out favorite restaurants and for some shopping. If the Leafs are in town or a favorite musical act, i may use this as an excuse to go. But going to Mtl strictly for sps? Definitely not the case anymore. Plus it's illegal now and i couldn't justify to myself travelling to a place strictly to do something illegal. It's a no-brainer. In other words, i travel to Mtl as an escape from every day life's routine and stress level. Of course, it also means going to other places other than Montreal. By the way, my life is more in control since i've made adjustments in this part of my life and my bank account loves me for it.
