Let's go back in time!

The date is October 29th, 2010, and it's a Friday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Scorpio. Most people have "that Friday feeling" and are looking forward to the weekend.

The summer is long gone. Temperatures have started to become much cooler and the evenings are beginning to get darker. Fallen leaves have carpeted driveways, lawns, pathways, and sidewalks. There is also a fresh, earthy scent in the air. Halloween of 2010 is just days away. People are watching horror movies and thinking about which costume they are going to wear. Others are organizing parties.

On television, people are watching popular shows such as "Grey's Anatomy", "Mad Men", "Breaking Bad", and "RuPaul's Drag Race". 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.

People are using pre-made comics called "Rage Comics" to share funny and relatable experiences. A new photo-sharing app called Instagram has just been released. In celebrity news, pop star Katy Perry and Russell Brand have just been married in India.

Pop star Taylor Swift has released her album "Speak Now". The album contains songs such as "Mine", "Back to December" and "Mean". Rob Ford has defeated George Smitherman and Joe Pantalone to become the new mayor of Toronto. Actor Charlie Sheen is in the news once again following revelations that he was forcibly removed from his suite at the Plaza Hotel by police after he caused thousands of dollars worth of damage.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Leslie Nielsen, Pete Postlethwaite, Nate Dogg, and Elizabeth Taylor would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "League of Legends", "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2", "StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty", and "Halo: Reach". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Ben 10", "Curious George", "iCarly", and "Good Luck Charlie".
