Take me back to September 16th, 2004!

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

The date is September 16th, 2004, and it's a Thursday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Virgo. 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 Goodies by Ciara is at the top of the singles charts. Over in the UK, Real To Me by Brian McFadden is the number-one hit song.

George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Resident Evil: Apocalypse 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.

Internet users are using MSN Messenger and AIM to chat with each other online. It's 2004, so the music charts are being dominated by the likes of Usher, Alicia Keys, Maroon 5, OutKast, Mario Winans, the Terror Squad and Ciara. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Brian Clough, Big Boss Man, ODB, and Dimebag Darrell would all still be alive.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Last of the Summer Wine", "The Sopranos", "Without a Trace", and "Stargate Atlantis". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "SSX 3", "Manhunt", "Project Gotham Racing 2", and "Counter-Strike: Source". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "The Powerpuff Girls", "Jackie Chan Adventures", "My Wife and Kids", and "Danny Phantom".

Popular toys at the moment include Bratz dolls, Playmobil Airport, Bulls Eye Ball, and Mighty Beanz.
