Take me back to December 5th, 2004!

Let's take a stroll down memory lane!

The date is December 5th, 2004, and it's a Sunday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Sagittarius. People are currently enjoying their weekend. However, because it's a Sunday, some are dreading the week ahead.

The Christmas season of 2004 has begun. In America, the song My Boo by Usher & Alicia Keys is at the top of the singles charts. Over in the UK, I'll Stand By You by Girls Aloud is the number-one hit song.

George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie National Treasure 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 "7th Heaven", "The Royle Family", "The O.C.", and "Joey".

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 Dimebag Darrell, Lamont Bentley, Johnnie Cochran, and Pope John Paul II would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time", "Rome: Total War", "The Sims 2", and "Need for Speed: Underground 2". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Dora the Explorer", "My Wife and Kids", "Teen Titans", and "Danny Phantom".

Children are playing with toys such as Betty Spaghetty (doll), the PlayStation 2, the Xbox, and Beyblades (spinning top toys).
