Take me back to February 1, 2013

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

The date is February 1, 2013, and it's a Friday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Aquarius. Many people have "that Friday feeling" and are looking forward to the weekend.

In America, the song "Thrift Shop" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis is at the top of the singles charts, while "Get Up" by Bingo Players is the number-one song in the UK. Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie Warm Bodies 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 "The Office", "Bones", "Dexter", and "The Vampire Diaries". 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 2013, so the music charts are being dominated by artists such as Macklemore, Robin Thicke, Imagine Dragons and Bruno Mars.

A new video-hosting service called "Vine" has just been launched. In Ireland, the nation is mourning the death of Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe, who was recently shot dead by an armed gang in County Louth. A tragic fire at a nightclub in Santa Maria, Brazil has left 242 people dead.

An Internet meme called "The Harlem Shake" is going viral. The first season of a new show called "House of Cards" has just been released on Netflix. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Reeva Steenkamp, Hugo Chavez, James Gandolfini, and Cory Monteith would all still be alive.

People are playing video games such as "Journey", "Guild Wars 2", "Halo 4", and "Far Cry 3". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Peppa Pig", "Phineas and Ferb", "Jake and the Never Land Pirates", and "Dog with a Blog". Children are playing with toys such as the Sing-A-Ma-Jigs, Air Hogs Hawk Eye, Lalaloopsy Silly Hair, and the Wii U.
