Take me back to March 9, 2011

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

The date is March 9, 2011, 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. In America, the song "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga is at the top of the singles charts, while "Someone Like You" by Adele is the number-one song in the UK. Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie Rango is at the top of the box office.

David Cameron is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "MythBusters", "Grey's Anatomy", "The Big Bang Theory", and "Breaking Bad". 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.

A civil war is raging on in Libya. Large battles are taking place between Colonel Gaddafi's government forces and Libyan rebels. Charlie Sheen is causing a lot of controversy. The actor, who was recently fired from the TV show "Two and a Half Men", has been attacking his former employers and making strange comments about how he is a "warlock" who has "tiger blood". The catchphrase "Every Day I'm Shufflin'" is being repeated and parodied following the success of LMAO's song "Party Rock Anthem".

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. People are playing video games such as "Alan Wake", "Amnesia: The Dark Descent", "Halo: Reach", and "Call of Duty: Black Ops". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse", "Curious George", "Glee", and "Adventure Time".

Children are playing with toys such as the Xbox 360, Pixos Super Studio, Crayola Crayon Town, and Moxie Girlz Art-titude Dolls.
