GregPike.ca repossessed

I just received an email from my domain registrar today informing me that GregPike.ca, which was set to expire yesterday, has been repossessed by its previous owner, a Greg Pike from Nestor Falls, Ontario.

He put the domain on back order earlier this year effectively locking me out of renewing it.

nameserver.gregpike.ca :(

I am looking at purchasing a new domain but I would like suggestions if at all possible. GregoryPike.ca is not available. Nor is GregPike.com. I think GregPike.me is open, but .me domains are incredibly expensive. Thoughts?

Note: This is an April Fool's prank and is not true. Gotcha!
