Hi and welcome to my blog. My name is Luke Pettigrew I am 27 years old and live in Toronto Ontario. The chances of someone visiting my blog that doesn't allready know me are very small so I will skip any more details about my life.
This blog is a direct result of me being upset that when you "google" my name I do not apear once in the results field. For any of you girls who have tried to "google" me even though I am unemployed you will find several results from some guy in one of the southern states who is also named luke pettigrew and seems to be good for about 10-20 points per game for his basketball team. Bizzarro Luke Pettigrew gets a mention in the local game recap every game and has a freaking boatload of google hits which I think is kind of unfair because he is essentially doing the same mediocre thing over and over again but getting valuable google recognition every time he does it. If bizzarro Luke Pettigrew google results were like "Pettigrew paces Redmen in win over Braves" and then the next one was like "Luke Pettigrew rescues baby from gas station explosion" then his google dominance over the Luke Pettigrew we all know would be more impressive and less temporary.
Regardless I dont like the fact that I am not on google and this blog may help somehow although I still dont think that it would show up in any google search.

today I am going to get a job so wish me luck and I will let you know what kind of exciting job I am working at from my work e-mail tommorow. In the unlikely event that I am still unemployed this evening I have to decide wether or not I am too hung-over to work-out. I am probably more hung over than most non-alcoholics for a monday but last night I had to drop in to the pub to see if my friend Lyndsay was there because she just got back from her 3 week greece trip and I wanted to hear her stories. Lyndsay wasn't actually there but I was suprised to run into a couple people I did know at a pub I go to 6 times a week including my brother who just broke up with his girlfriend so I had to stay and have a pint with them.
In the future I am going to try to drink less on sunday nights. I dont know what an appropriate level of sunday drinking is but the 6 pints and 1 massive str8 vodka shot I consumed last night didn't seem to give the the Monday job hunting "kick-start" I was looking for. I didn't get to the pub untill midnight because I was on a date and I always feel guilty going out to the bar after a date for some reason. Speaking of which if you ever are dating and you dont want your date to know about your mild drinking problem it is better not to take her to a pub that you go to a lot even if it is really close to her place because she may notice that the staff and customers all know you. also it is not romantic when your server asks you how many pints you want in the fridge for last call.
