Take me back to November 5, 2004

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

The date is November 5, 2004, 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 "My Boo" by Usher & Alicia Keys is at the top of the singles charts, while "Wonderful" by Ja Rule is the number-one song in the UK. George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie The Grudge 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 "Charmed", "The Sopranos", "Malcolm in the Middle", and "Two and a Half Men". 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 ODB, Dimebag Darrell, Lamont Bentley, and Johnnie Cochran would all still be alive.

People are playing video games such as "Championship Manager 4", "SSX 3", "Beyond Good & Evil", and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "The Powerpuff Girls", "Teen Titans", "Peppa Pig", and "Veronica Mars". Children are playing with toys such as Betty Spaghetty (doll), HitClips audio player, the PlayStation 2, and Furreal Luv Cubs.
