Just got home from work, eating my delicious apple, and decided to write about the disgusting experience I witnessed about an hour ago....So, I work outside as a guest list girl at Rockwood, minding my own business, when (like any club in Toronto) a fight breaks out. Screaming, more screaming and then a girl comes out to yell in her drunken state to her boyfriend-no surprise here, it's typical. But then this so-called "man" decided to pick his "wife" up in the air, lit
erally, shake her and throw her to the ground...not put her down, he THREW her...something like what you would see in some crazy wrestling scene..after hitting her head on the pavement she then proceeded to get up and follow him and then he pushed her to the ground in the corner of a building AGAIN...of course the bouncers went and stopped him but I was in shock...but then again, physical abuse is more common then we think...I mean, look at Rhianna and Chris Brown, which just goes to show us that physical abuse can happen in any walk of life, rich or poor, at any time, to any one. And I know the more common case is the man hitting the woman...but there is the few percent of men who are the ones abused....God knows I've wanted to hit a man once or twice....But in all seriousness, I recently signed up to be a volunteer at a non-profit organization called Juliette's Place, which is a shelter for abused women and their children. They are currently looking for more volunteers and if you haven't volunteered before, it is the most rewarding feeling to know you're helping to make a difference in someone else's life because you WANT to. If anyone would be interested in volunteering with me, please visit this site:

No woman or man should have to suffer from someone else's shortcomings and issues!
