Man, reading all of this makes me feel so sad in a nostalgic kind of way. I was so young back then and it only feels like yesterday. Father Time is undefeated.

Take me back to December 22, 2007

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

It is Saturday, December 22, 2007. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Capricorn. The work week is over and Saturday has finally come, so people are spending time with their kids, going to bars, shopping, playing video games, and watching sports.

Christmas Day of 2007 is fast approaching and the excitement is building. Department stores are packed with Christmas shoppers, and people are meeting up with friends that they haven't seen in a while. In America, the song "No One" by Alicia Keys is at the top of the singles charts, while "What A Wonderful World" by Eva Cassidy & Katie Melua is the number-one song in the UK. George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie I Am Legend is at the top of the box office.

Gordon Brown is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. 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. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Benazir Bhutto, Phil O'Donnell, Brad Renfro, and Heath Ledger would all still be alive.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Cold Case", "House", "Eureka", and "Friday Night Lights". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "FIFA 08", "Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock", "The Simpsons Game", and "Super Mario Galaxy". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "ChalkZone", "Postcards from Buster", "Go, Diego, Go!", and "Phineas and Ferb".

Popular toys at the moment include Magic Glow Doodle Bear, Gross Out Doodle Monster, Lil Luvables Fluffy Factory, and Digi Makeover.
