Ready for a walk down memory lane?

It is Sunday, April 14, 2013. Anyone born today will have the star sign Aries. People are currently enjoying their weekend. However, because it's a Sunday, some are dreading the days ahead.

The summer of 2013 is drawing closer, and temperatures have started to rise. In America, the song "Thrift Shop" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis is at the top of the singles charts, while "Need U (100%)" by Duke Dumont is the number-one song in the UK. Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie 42 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.

A new song called "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke, Pharrell Williams and T.I. has recently been released. Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has passed away at the age of 87.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as James Gandolfini, Cory Monteith, Gia Allemand, and Lisa Robin Kelly would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", "Sons of Anarchy", "Nikita", and "Hannibal". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "XCOM: Enemy Unknown", "DmC: Devil May Cry", "Dead Space 3", and "Aliens: Colonial Marines".
