age of majority in quebec

yes, my blog is now eighteen, i can't believe it's all grown up. established. matured. accomplished. but this post will have nothing to do with being eighteen, the sens losing, me working, or belts. this weblog is fully dedicated to the one and only billybob newmarket (if there is another one i am sorry). i met billybob about three hours and eighteen minutes ago, but already he has taken a special place in my heart. i was sitting on the three (a local bus) as i always do on my way home from work, with my massive lunch box and my tool box, hoping that a cute girl would sit next to me. but today no cute girl sat next to me (three days ago a cute girl sat next to me). but a man who looked to be maybe in his early fourties sat next to me, i had never met him before, he sat down and we made typical awkward bus eye contact, and i turned and looked out with window and kept listening to my music, (gorliaz- feel good inc. for those keeping score), he nudged me and asked me, " are you the matthieu foreman who has a blog named the basement and used to be named the oval office?" i said, "yes i am." a little taken back. then he went on to tell me that he loves my blog and is a little upset at me because i haven't posted in over a week. so i told him that i will write a blog tonight, all about our encounter, i got his name and he said that he didn't mind the lack of editing. so billybob newmarket this one's for you.

wow. i totally had the exact same experience. on my bus ride home 2 nights ago, a man in his fourties sat next to me, i asked him how he was, he was good. he asked me how i was, i said i was "alright". he then came to the conclusion that the reason for me only being "alright" must have been because mattjforeman.blogspot.com had not posted in awhile. weird.,

anyways, its always a joy to see your msn name change to a clever way of stating that a new blog has been posted. it was keeps me going.
seeeee ya later!

Okay, now you're just makin' stuff up? Oh wait, I guess that's not totally new either - lol

There's no way a complete stranger reads your blog, but I admit I'm curious now, "Who Is Billybob?"

For those of us who just "have to know"! Please reveal the mystery

oops, I meant to say a stranger reads your blog & actually sits with you on the bus. Of course strangers read your blog!

One must be somewhat strange to read it, right?

Look whose calling the kettle black now - lol

Matt,
Sounds a little like another blog, written by another blogger, on another blogsite.
So now I have something in common with Billybob Newmarket - we both have blogs written about us.
But this one is better you say.
And why? I'll tell you why....
Because I can comment on this blog site without having to listen to Mike verbally abuse me.
Yes! Thank you Matthieu Foreman!
