The fact that there are incoming college freshmen who are the same age as Elf is starting to make me feel old.

Take me back to November 7, 2003

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

The date is November 7, 2003, and it's a Friday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Scorpio. Many people have "that Friday feeling" and are looking forward to the weekend.

It's November, so the evenings are getting darker and the days are getting colder. In America, the song "Baby Boy" by Beyonce is at the top of the singles charts, while "Be Faithful" by Fatman Scoop is the number-one song in the UK. George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie The Matrix Revolutions 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 "Frasier", "The West Wing", "Fear Factor", and "MythBusters". 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 Jonathan Brandis, Soulja Slim, Pat Tillman, and Ronald Reagan would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "Unreal Tournament 2003", "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City", "Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow", and "Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "SpongeBob SquarePants", "ChalkZone", "My Life as a Teenage Robot", and "One Tree Hill".

Children are playing with toys such as Gogo's Crazy Bones, Chicken Dance Elmo, Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game, and Ello Creation System.
