Take me back to September 1, 2007

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

The date is September 1, 2007, and it's a Saturday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Virgo. People are currently enjoying their weekend.

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. In the United States, it is Labor Day weekend. People are attending barbecues and other gatherings. To many Americans, Labor Day represents the end of summer 2007. In America, the song "Beautiful Girls" by Sean Kingston is at the top of the singles charts, while "Stronger" by Kanye West is the number-one song in the UK.

George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Halloween (2007) is at the top of the box office. Gordon Brown is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "The Royle Family", "NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service", "CSI: NY", and "How I Met Your Mother".

Practically every teenager and adult has a MySpace or Bebo account. A rock music genre called "Emo" is extremely popular at the moment. The genre, which stands for "emotional hardcore", has created a subculture of "Emos" who dye their hair black and wear thick-framed glasses. Meanwhile, in technology news, more and more people are beginning to use the Internet on their phones. This transition towards mobile Internet has been aided by the recent roll-out of faster 3G networks and the introduction of larger touchscreen phones.

It's 2007, so the music charts are being dominated by the likes of Beyoncé, Rihanna, Jay-Z, Sean Kingston, Soulja Boy and Nelly Furtado. Financial markets are currently rattled and issues with the U.S. subprime mortgage sector seem to be spiraling out of control. American Home Mortgage recently filed for bankruptcy and international banking group BNP Paribas has blocked withdrawals from three of its hedge funds due to a lack of liquidity. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Luciano Pavarotti, Colin McRae, Sean Taylor, and Evel Knievel would all still be alive.

People are playing video games such as "Just Cause", "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent", "Bully", and "God of War II". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Ed, Edd n Eddy", "All Grown Up! (Rugrats)", "Everybody Hates Chris", and "Wonder Pets!". Children are playing with toys such as 7-Eleven Slurpee Drink Maker, Amazing Amanda (doll), Bratz Babyz, and Pixel Chix.
