Take me back to November 23, 2002

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

The date is November 23, 2002, and it's a Saturday. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Sagittarius. The work week is over and Saturday has finally come, so people are spending time with their kids, going to bars, shopping, playing video games, and watching sports.

In America, Thanksgiving 2002 is just around the corner. It's November, so the evenings are getting darker and the days are getting colder. In America, the song "Lose Yourself" by Eminem is at the top of the singles charts, while "Dirrty" by Christina Aguilera is the number-one song in the UK.

George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Die Another Day is at the top of the box office. Tony Blair is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "Touched by an Angel", "Stargate SG-1", "Will & Grace", and "Malcolm in the Middle".

In technology news, more and more people are beginning to gain access to the Internet. Internet speeds are increasing and MP3 sharing is beginning to threaten the existence of music stores. People are using a software program called LimeWire to share music, software, and videos. Unfortunately, it is also a haven for computer viruses. It's 2002, so the music charts are being dominated by the likes of Ashanti, Nickelback, Nelly, Eminem, Usher, Blu Cantrell, The Calling, Linkin Park and Jennifer Lopez.

A rock music genre called "Emo" is beginning to become more and more mainstream. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Lana Clarkson, Curt Hennig, Fred Rogers, and Camoflauge would all still be alive.
