Take me back to September 21, 2007

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

The date is September 21, 2007, and it's a Friday. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Virgo. Many people have "that Friday feeling" and are looking forward to the 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. The earthy smells of autumn have started to fill the air. In America, the song "Crank That" by Soulja Boy is at the top of the singles charts, while "Beautiful Girls" by Sean Kingston is the number-one song in the UK.

George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Resident Evil: Extinction 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 "ER", "Pimp My Ride", "House", and "Mad Men".

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. The global financial system is beginning to crack as the subprime mortgage crisis intensifies. In England, a "bank run" has occurred on the bank Northern Rock. Meanwhile, online bank "NetBank" has filed for bankruptcy protection due to its exposure to home loans. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Sean Taylor, Evel Knievel, Ike Turner, and Benazir Bhutto would all still be alive.

People are playing video games such as "Call of Duty 3", "Resistance: Fall of Man", "Pokémon Diamond Version", and "World in Conflict". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "That's So Raven", "LazyTown", "Everybody Hates Chris", and "Ben 10". Children are playing with toys such as Bionicle LEGO, LEGO Star Wars, Doctor Dreadful Freaky Food Lab, and 7-Eleven Slurpee Drink Maker.
