Today is a very special day for two reasons. The first reason is today is the beginning of one of the things I enjoy the most right under sex and a nice glass of Crown Royal…March Madness! You can’t beat this time of the season with great hardwood action! But the other reason today is a great day is that I started on this journey called From Ashy to Classy exactly ONE YEAR AGO today! It was definitely an interesting journey and ride with this blog as I have written about everything from politics to Sex. I have shared some of my most personal thoughts and feelings and never knew that I could relate to so many people. I never knew the day I just randomly told myself “D.Frie lets quit bsing and just start a blog…why not?”
Who would have known that a year later this blog would have grown so much? I am deeply humbled by all the love and support I have received from so many people on this blog. With well over 120 posts there have been so many. I have decided to highlight some of the most popular posts you may want to check out or get yourself reacquainted with…
