define suspicious

What is a Suspicious Person?
Is a woman buying flowers, a get well card and $100 giftcard suspicious?
 
Or maybe a man with a 
young son buying 

2 $100 Toys R'us giftcards?
Could it be the couple buying $200 worth 
of groceries and 4 $50  gas cards? 
Or maybe just the guy who decided 
to buy 3 $100 giftcards?

What about the woman with 3 children and $150 worth of groceries and 6 $50 giftcards?

Who is a suspicious person in these scenarios? 
Can you pick them out?
Do you suspect someone because of their clothes? 
how they wear their hair? 
By the hat, or maybe by their race?

How do you explain why you suspect a person?

Define suspicious::
tending to cause or excite suspicion: Suspicious Behavior 

You can not judge a person by their looks or what they buy, but rather by how they act and Behave...

Define Behavior::
observable activity in a person or animal. 

So this tells me they must act, before I can observe any suspicious activity; like, maybe they ask to pay for each item separately. Maybe the first card doesn't work, but the second does. 

Long story short, 
At work I got in trouble because I asked a lady for her ID when she was buying 
2 $100 giftcards and paying with a credit card; she threw a fit! 
Since than I've been told to only look at IDs of Suspicious people. 
I asked what Suspicious looks like and they say, 
"You know, Suspicious!" and walk away. 
It just looks bad to ask for ID after he/she's swipe 2 cards and it works, but transaction #2 does not 
work. That's when I involved a manager and it's up to them to give the card, ask for ID, 
or keep the card and call the cops. 
It's not my job!

Either make a policy and keep it
or don't do anything,
But most importantly 
Don't Blame ME.
I'm just doing my job by what my managers say.

A child of Divorce...

Truth time...
I'm a child of Divorced parents.
They've been this way since I was 3yrs old.
So, nothing new, not really, but what's difficult is
Asking my dad, 
whom I've only seen for no more that 2 weeks
at a time and I've only seen him about 6 times in 23 years, 
for something expensive:
 A MAC Computer. 
My mom tells me, Yes ask him He owes it to you!
But I hate my dad's GF's lectures she gives me 
on treating my dad better and etc...
While I like my dad's GF, I also don't...
Idk, I feel guilty for asking, 
but my dad never did much for me when I was a kid and 
my mom tells me this is how he can make it up! 
So I asked...
The computer is for work and school,
So we will see what he does
*sigh*

Reading for keeps!

     As a writer I like to read a lot as well. Sure I have my fun stuff, like: Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, A Royal Switch, and etc. Those are for entertainment purposes; you don't read them for educational reasons, although you might learn something you didn't know before. These types of stories make you want to research more, or at least that's what I do! I have, roughly, 200 books, most likely more, I'm not in my room to count right now, anyway... what can I say I worked in a bookstore for a while! 
     Now what I really want to talk about is books you have to read in school. You know you've found a hobby or something you want to pursue in life when you can read a guide book and not fall asleep. I actually found the one for my Cinema class on cameras very interesting! While last semester, my history class put me to sleep... sound a sleep! And I like history, but the readings were sooooo, meh... 

     So keep that in mind readers! If you find something you enjoy reading, you might enjoy doing it too!
What's your passion in life?
I'm a Writer
Screenwriter
and Movie Enthusiast

How about you?

Scary movies

What is up with Scary Movies now a days??

There is never any resolutions anymore! Ghost will kill you and there is nothing you can do about it! You can't help them and you can save them! Once they have you in their sights, they'll never let you go!


Why have we gotten to this point of no rest for the dead... 
no happily ever after...


 ^^
And seriously what was up with ^this movie's ending??
Walking through an abandoned Home Depot? 
It made no sense!

An Outlet...

Blogging has always been an outlet for me...
I tried focusing on certain aspects of my life, but it's a little hard, so I've decided to mix them together in this one blog...
A little couponing, movie seeing, movie making, 
funny things I find online, school, work, venting,
and maybe a little family talk...

Let's have a good time!
