RED

I had completely forgotten about Brian Dowling. The first season of Big Brother was very popular, as the concept was fresh at the time. I was just a child back then, but I still remember how excited my babysitter was to watch it. There was also a "live" channel that streamed the house 24/7. However, the sound would be muted whenever they started talking about anything that might offend people.

I went to see the Planet of the Apes with my friend. I still remember how it was a sunny day and I was wearing a Wu-Tang hoodie!

Take me back to July 27th, 2001!

Let's go back in time!

The date is July 27th, 2001, and it's a Friday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Leo. Most people have "that Friday feeling" and are looking forward to the weekend.

It's summer, so the temperatures are warmer and the evenings are longer than usual. In America, the song U Remind Me by Usher is at the top of the singles charts. Over in the UK, Eternity / The Road To Mandalay by Robbie Williams is the number-one hit song.

George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Planet of the Apes (2001) 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 "The X-Files", "Stargate SG-1", "The Royle Family", and "Will & Grace".

A relatively new form of communication called "text messaging" is becoming more widespread. Although the technology has been around since the mid-1990s, it was only recently that cell providers allowed users to send SMS messages to people on different networks. In technology news, more and more music companies are beginning to release MP3 players. The new MP3 format means that music listeners are able to listen to multiple albums on the go. Meanwhile, the Nokia 3310 is one of the most popular cellphones on the market at the moment. Stores across the world are currently selling a wide range of custom covers for the phone.

It's 2001, so the music charts are being dominated by the likes of Christina Aguilera, Janet Jackson, OutKast, Crazy Town, Destiny's Child, Usher, Alicia Keys, Blu Cantrell and Jennifer Lopez. An outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in the United Kingdom is causing a crisis in the British agriculture and tourism sectors. The authorities are killing cows and sheep in an effort to halt the disease. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Aaliyah, Thuy Trang, George Harrison, and Layne Staley would all still be alive.

People are playing video games such as "Diablo II", "Tenchu 2: Birth of the Stealth Assassins", "ECW Anarchy Rulz", and "WWF SmackDown! 2: Know Your Role". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "The Wild Thornberrys", "The Powerpuff Girls", "Bob the Builder", and "Static Shock". Children are playing with toys such as Gogo's Crazy Bones, Finger skateboards, Poo-Chi (robot dog), and Bratz dolls.
