Take me back to March 3, 2010

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

The date is March 3, 2010, and it's a Wednesday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Pisces. It is "Hump Day", so many are beginning to think about the weekend ahead.

Spring is creeping in, and the evenings are starting to get brighter.

Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie Shutter Island 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", "CSI: Miami", "Real Housewives of New York City", and "Jersey Shore". 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. An Old Spice advertisement called "The Man Your Man Could Smell Like", starring Isaiah Mustafa, is extremely popular at the moment. Internet users are repeating the slang phrase, "Come at me, bro."

A new and catchy song called "We No Speak Americano" has just been released by Yolanda Be Cool and DCUP. In soccer, there is drama as Wayne Bridge refuses to shake John Terry's hand. The refusal comes on the back of reports that Terry had an extramarital affair with Bridge's ex-girlfriend.

The scheduled sentencing for rap star Lil Wayne has just been postponed due to a fire breaking out in court. A new FPS game "Battlefield: Bad Company 2" has just been released. 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 "Grand Theft Auto IV", "Halo 3: ODST", "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2", and "Heavy Rain". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "One Tree Hill", "LazyTown", "Go, Diego, Go!", and "Sonny with a Chance".
