About Me

Eljay.........Gig Promoter, kid on journalist/social commentator, music lover, urban poet, full of half-arsed philosophy and beautiful ideas! My moral standing is lying down and i can't stop drinking. I believe in passion beyond reason. I have a weakness for indie boys with tattoos and red ties. Right now im all about the fantasy, comedy, playing, dancing, smoking, kissing, writing, listening, and doing the wrong thing for the right reasons. I like my life.www.myspace.com/handsomedevilpromotions
