    The date is September 25th, 1999, and it's a Saturday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Libra. People are currently enjoying their weekend.

    Schools and colleges are starting again, and fall has officially arrived. As a result, temperatures are beginning to cool, and trees are starting to shed their leaves. The earthy smells of autumn have started to fill the air. In America, the song Unpretty by TLC is at the top of the singles charts.

    Over in the UK, We're Going To Ibiza by Vengaboys is the number-one hit song. Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie Blue Streak is at the top of the box office. Tony Blair is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

    On television, people are watching popular shows such as "Xena: Warrior Princess", "Oz", "Futurama", and "The West Wing". The CD is quickly becoming the dominant format for music, and people are buying portable players such as the "Discman". Consequently, sales of cassette tapes are continuing to decline. In fashion, bright and metallic colors are all the rage—a big change from the darker "grunge" colors of the early 1990s. Women are wearing maxi skirts, bell bottoms, knee boots, crop tops, tube tops, slip dresses, maxi coats, and platform shoes. Meanwhile, a lot of men have ditched their grunge and skater clothes in favor of a "dress casual" look. They are also beginning to cut their hair shorter.

    A relatively new form of communication called "text messaging" is becoming more widespread. Although the technology has been around since the mid-1990s, it was only recently that cell providers allowed users to send SMS messages to people on different networks. It's 1999, so radio stations are being dominated by the likes of Cher, TLC, Monica, Whitney Houston, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Santana and Ricky Martin. The Nokia 3210 is currently one of the most popular cellphones on the market.

    If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Wilt Chamberlain, Walter Payton, Big Pun, and Jim Varney would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "Resident Evil 2", "SimCity 3000", "Mario Party", and "Super Smash Bros.". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Friends", "Dexter's Laboratory", "Pokemon", and "Digimon Adventure".

    Children are playing with toys such as the Pokémon Trading Card Game, Spice Girls dolls, Betty Spaghetty (doll), and the Dreamcast.
