Take me back to September 30th, 2003!

Let's go back in time!

The date is September 30th, 2003, and it's a Tuesday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Libra. 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 Baby Boy by Beyonce is at the top of the singles charts. Over in the UK, Where Is The Love by The Black Eyed Peas is the number-one hit song.

George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie The Rundown is at the top of the box office. Tony Blair is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. 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. Internet users are using MSN Messenger and AIM to chat with each other online. A flash animation of badgers singing "badger, badger, badger" has become a viral hit on the Internet. The animation, which loops indefinitely, was published by British animator Jonti Picking in September 2003.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Crash Holly, Jonathan Brandis, Soulja Slim, and Pat Tillman would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Last of the Summer Wine", "The Sopranos", "The Wire", and "CSI: Miami". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2", "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City", "Ratchet & Clank", and "Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne".

Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Friends", "Little Bear", "7th Heaven", and "One Tree Hill". Popular toys at the moment include Betty Spaghetty (doll), the Game Boy Advance, the Xbox, and the Nintendo GameCube.
