Expressions of a Buppie

*Dances around the Blog* IT'S BLOG OF THE MONTH TIME!!

This month the Blog of the Month is Expression of a Buppie. If you've been keeping up with the blog you know that I read Expressions of a Buppie every so often. I actually came across this blog back in January and it nudged me into the Blogging world. I read it every so often and thought.. "Hey I could do this. I'm opinionated and think people should listen to me haha" The Blog is great though.

A Buppie as some of you well know is a Black Urban Professional. The term is a spin off from the word Yuppie which is a Young Urban Professional. But more often than not its in reference to Caucasians. The blog is basically as its tagline states "Black. Urban. Professional. What is it like to be a 20-something navigating their way through life's maze and giving their 2cents on yours? Sometimes its random,sometimes funny, but at all times its real." When I initially became a reader of the blog there was only one author but now there are three. District Buppie, Up&Coming Buppie, and Dr. J (dude). District Buppie I believe is the first author and she asked some friends along for the ride and she is located in the DC area. Up&Coming Buppie I believe is from the DC Area as well but as I've been reading on and off the last few months I believe she is currently in Asia teaching English. As for Dr. J I haven't read a lot of his stuff on this stuff but he frequents other blogs and he always has a... uhhh.. interesting perspective on things lol.

Why I love this blog:
1. I love the variety. I definitely became interested in the blog because of the District Buppie's POV(point of view) but I really enjoy reading the other pieces as well. Up&Coming Buppie gives me a peak into life in Asia that I truly enjoy.
2. As stated in the tagline it IS real. I may have ranted once or twice on the blog... hence the reason why I didn't leave a comment the last time read it in regards to No God at Work. They had a guest blogger once that discussed his preference of dating White or Hispanic Woman instead of Black Woman and I went IN on a comment. But I love that it was REAL. I respected the opinion even if I thought his reasoning left something to be desired.
3. They use video: I've seen at least one video blog and I love the infusion of technology.. I don't need you guys stopping ME on the street once you know what I look like. I'm not that ready for that kind of fame. I certainly applaud their efforts though. Kudos to you District Buppie!

What I don't like about the blog:
Honestly there isn't much I dislike about this blog. They keep it up to date. They keep it real. And they do censor it. haha. I think that you readers would find something they like here: www.Buppie.blogspot.com Check it out!!
