My Second Protest

The protests against Capital Grill is still in progress in Chicago. My second protest is when I finally get a chance to lead to protesting circle in front of the restaurant.

It was a last minute request, but I decided to lead anyway. I started off with the usual chants that we do, but I was struggling since it was my first time leading the group. I keep blanking out from the chants we usually do. Then from the bottom of my deep booming voice, I lead a new chant that grabbed the attention of everyone around me. It was "pay your workers" sung in the same fashion as singing "hey hey, goodbye." There was a little laughter but soon others join in and I was praised for my improvisation. Although i'm not really gloating to myself, because the chants are more then sing catchy phrases to songs from the 70's. It is about getting the message across and fighting for whats right. If you have any ideas for new chants, please commit below.

As for everything else, i'm just finishing up my semester and enjoying the weather. I started a new job, but i don't really want to write about it online. Although I do enjoy it so far and i'm excited to practice my profession in the real world.

That is all I have to report so far. If you have any opinions or suggestions to improve the blog, please comment. I really like comments and it gives me good feedback.

For now, I bid all of my readers a-do.
