Take me back to January 13, 2003

Ready for a walk down memory lane?

The date is January 13, 2003, and it's a Monday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Capricorn. The weekend has just passed, so some people are feeling a bit down. Others are tired after partying too much.

The Christmas holiday season is long over, the decorations have been taken down, and a sense of normality has returned. In America, the song "Lose Yourself" by Eminem is at the top of the singles charts, while "Sound Of The Underground" by Girls Aloud is the number-one song in the UK. George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Just Married 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 Sopranos", "Futurama", "Alias", and "8 Simple Rules". 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. Smartphones don't exist yet. There are no Androids or iPhones. Cameras on phones are quickly becoming the norm. However, the photographs that they take are still lacking in quality.

It's 2003, so the music charts are being dominated by the likes of 50 Cent, R. Kelly, Sean Paul, 3 Doors Down, Nelly, Evanescence, Chingy and Beyonce. 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. People are playing video games such as "Medal of Honor: Frontline", "Battlefield 1942", "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell", and "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past".

Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "7th Heaven", "That '70s Show", "Dora the Explorer", and "Jackie Chan Adventures". Children are playing with toys such as Finger skateboards, Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game, Spider-Man Dual Action Web Blaster, and FurReal Friends.
