Take me back to January 19, 2010

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

The date is January 19, 2010, and it's a Tuesday. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Capricorn. The holiday season of 2009 seems like a distant memory. New year's resolutions are already being abandoned, and many are eagerly awaiting their first paycheck after Christmas

In America, the song "Tik Tok" by Kesha is at the top of the singles charts, while "Replay" by Iyaz is the number-one song in the UK. Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie Avatar 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 "King of the Hill", "The Royle Family", "Desperate Housewives", and "My Super Sweet 16". Video rental stores such as Blockbuster are continuing to close their doors at the moment. Sadly, it seems as though they will be unable to compete with online streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu. It's 2010, so the music charts are being dominated by artists such as Kesha, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Eminem and Bruno Mars.

A catastrophic earthquake has struck Haiti, leaving hundreds of thousands of people dead. In response, many countries are pledging humanitarian aid, rescue teams and relief funds. The search for survivors is ongoing. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Corey Haim, Chris Kanyon, Paul Gray, and Gary Coleman would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "Street Fighter IV", "Killzone 2", "Halo 3: ODST", and "Left 4 Dead 2".
