Take me back to February 14, 2011

Ready for a walk down memory lane?

It is Monday, February 14, 2011. Anyone born today will have the star sign Aquarius. The weekend has just passed, so some people are feeling a bit down. Others are tired after partying too much.

It's Valentine's Day, so couples are exchanging cards and going out to dinner together. In America, the song "Grenade" by Bruno Mars is at the top of the singles charts, while "Price Tag" by Jessie J is the number-one song in the UK. Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie Just Go With It is at the top of the box office.

David Cameron is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. 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. People are using pre-made comics called "Rage Comics" to share funny and relatable experiences.

A wave of demonstrations and protests have been taking place across the Middle East, in what has become known as the "Arab Spring". It's 2011, so the music charts are being dominated by artists such as Adele, Maroon 5, LMFAO, Katy Perry, Rihanna and Bruno Mars. Protesters in Egypt are celebrating following the recent resignation of president Hosni Mubarak.

In Ireland, the campaign for the 2011 General Election is taking place. Fianna Fail, which have been in power since 1997, are expected to perform badly because of the the economic crisis that has been gripping the country since 2008. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Nate Dogg, Elizabeth Taylor, Randy Savage, and Margo Dydek would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Grey's Anatomy", "RuPaul's Drag Race", "The Vampire Diaries", and "Blue Mountain State".

Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Farmville", "God of War III", "Super Meat Boy", and "Call of Duty: Black Ops". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Adventure Time", "Pretty Little Liars", "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic", and "Bubble Guppies". Popular toys at the moment include Roboraptor, Clipo Creativity Table, Rocky the Robot Truck, and Duck Hunter.
