Take me back to September 20, 2010

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

It is Monday, September 20, 2010. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Virgo. The weekend has just passed, so some people are feeling a bit down. Others are tired after partying too much.

Schools and colleges are starting again, and fall has officially arrived. As a result, temperatures are beginning to cool, and trees are starting to shed their leaves. The earthy smells of autumn have started to fill the air. In America, the song "Teenage Dream" by Katy Perry is at the top of the singles charts, while "Start Without You" by Alexandra Burke is the number-one song in the UK.

Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie The Town is at the top of the box office. David Cameron is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Video rental stores such as Blockbuster are continuing to close their doors at the moment. Sadly, it seems as though they will be unable to compete with online streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu.

It's 2010, so the music charts are being dominated by artists such as Kesha, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Eminem and Bruno Mars. Rescuers in Chile are working around the clock to save 33 men who have become trapped following a cave-in at a gold and copper mine near the city of Copiapó. The ongoing effort to rescue the miners is receiving international media attention. In Ireland, Taoiseach Brian Cowen is being accused of being drunk or hungover during his recent interview on RTE's "Morning Ireland".

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Giant Gonzalez, Denise Borino-Quinn, Leslie Nielsen, and Pete Postlethwaite would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Psych", "Gossip Girl", "Modern Family", and "Hawaii Five-0".
