For my research topic I have officially decided to research more into what makes Nigeria such an unstable country. My first political science class this semester Dr Jackson stated "many countries are never going to have a stable government, some will never lose their stability, and in Nigeria's case they have everything going for it yet still manage to screw it up". At first I found that funny but when this research paper and annotated bibliography came along I started to think about that more and figured it might be a fun topic.
For this I will have to explore more into Nigeria as a whole. Its economy, its previous governments and its location and how it affects the country. Through this I should be able to figure out a good conclusion on why things are so screwed up there and explain reasons for their problems.

Blog Post 2, Such a Crafty Name
This article we had to read I feel spoke to quite a few of those who had to read it. Now a days we have so much technology at our disposal, both for play and work. Many things such as computers work for both, which can make it difficult to separate the two. The internet can be the biggest problem because of how easily we can become distracted while on it. One thing in the article that especially stuck out to me was that on average computer users visit 40 websites a day. I know for me that is way over the correct number. I have about 7 I visit daily, but I do visit them often so I may end up visiting those same sites close to 40 times in total.
Another big part of this article was multitasking. We all do it, there is no doubt about that. Some, I feel, just are able to do it better then others. I can easily do an online quiz in one tab while looking up the answers to said quiz on another while asking friends on Facebook about the other questions. The difference in being able to multitask and being sidetracked is like reading this article online. There are many links to go to other sites but if you ignore them you can easily continue on with your article and do the one task you were assigned. This was a little different for me though since my internet decided to shut down randomly and wouldn't let me change pages so I was actually forced to switch to the paper copy. I prefer it better anyway.
Closing statements:
Comcast Internet SUCKS!!!!
The damn raccoons in the attic to my apartment woke up while I was writing this so that was a little distracting since they started to fight.
My stupid landlords wont fix my fridge, which the freezers automatic defroster has clearly broken since it starts defrosting about once every 2 hrs.

This is all about me.
I am Charles Bunting. I live in Brunswick, or Medina, or Brunswick Hills, Ohio. I am not sure which one since my family recently moved and its still considered Brunswick but taxes are Brunswick Hills and the address is Medina. So I am not too sure where I live I guess. Either way its 20 minutes south of Cleveland.
As for about me, I am 19, almost 20. I am a sophomore here at IUP and am the VP of the IUP Fighting Squirrels Ultimate Frisbee Club. Its super fun, I recommend trying it before you bash it. I am a huge Browns fan, so Go Packers, Steelers can suck it. Umm I like long walks on the beach and would love to get to know you so gimme a call. Just kidding on the last part. I don't know, chances are I will be wearing a winter hat in class just because I can. I wear all kinds, ranging from regular winter hats to Russian hats to a Beret. I am who I am so if you don't like it, deal with it.
Over and out
