About MageX

Bio:

Name:	Nathaniel Kenneth Hartwell
Birth Date:	September 3, 1970 (Virgo)
Birth Place:	Chicago, Illinois
Residence:	Red Bank, Tennessee
Marital Status:	Divorced
Job:	Classified
Hobbies:	Computers (of course), including building, repairing, and some programming; electronics; occasional sports (volleyball, softball, bowling)
Likes:	I like lots of things.  Too many to list all of them, but here's a few.  I like movies, but not if I have to go alone.  I like various music styles (Rock, most types; Classical, mainly Mozart; Techno, very little Rap, very little Country).  I like 'junk' foods, maybe too much.  :)
Dislikes:	I dislike people who hate or mistrust based on someone else's views.  I don't care for being told one thing and have that person go and do the exact opposite as soon as I'm out of sight.  I don't care for most 'health' foods.
