Do Bananas Cure Depression or What?
I just read on the internet that some people believe bananas can cure depression. Researchers point out that the myth is exaggerated, but some nutrients in bananas are known to be able to "help fight against depressive symptoms."
According to this article, bananas provide tryptophan, an amino acid that helps bodies make serotonin; serotonin is known for regulating our mood, and people with depression tend to lack serotonin. Also, a common symptom of depression is insomnia, and tryptophan can help people fall asleep more easily. Other than tryptophan, bananas provide vitamin B6, which also helps makes serotonin; vitamin B6 doesn't necessarily cure or prevent depression, but a healthy intake of it can decrease the risk of depression, especially as you grow older. Another article says that bananas also contain dopamine, which regulates our mood, ability to concentrate, and emotional stability.
Although bananas contain these "nutrients," researchers say they are only in very small amounts, and that almost all protein-based foods provide trypophan. Therefore, bananas do not provide a "unique or particularly significant source," they just contain nutrients that can somehow be connected to our mood, etc.
Note: Don't know if it's a myth or not. I was kind of sad about a week ago, I was eating a lot of bananas and it made me feel better. Maybe it's just mental...but shit if it works for me, might work for you!

Creepy Story Time
I have been fortunate to not have any creepy modeling stories. But when I was around 20 years old I was living in Santa Barbara and filling out a job application for this adult bookstore and a bizarre creepy homeless man harassed me. I was sitting on the curb of the street and the man walks in front of me (besides blocking my sun he gave off such a horrible odor) and punching his fist into the palm of his other hand says in scruffy voice " wanna die young or you wanna die old?!" I thought it must be a joke and started laughing and said "old...duh". I guess he didn't like that answer because he proceeded to say he was going to "pull my hair out " with other profanities. Not my hair!! My hair is my favorite attribute so I thought to myself, what can I do if he actually tries to pull my hair out? All I had to defend myself was my job application and the pen I was writing with.So my options were paper cutting him or stabbing him with my dinky little pen which grossed me out to think about. While my thoughts were processing he continued to get louder and louder, until he was shouting all the horrible things he was going to do to me. Keep in mind he is about a foot away from my face. One of those real close talkers no one likes. What the hell was I going to do? I looked around frantically for someone to save me, but nobody wanted to get involved with this insane man. They just wanted to stare from a safe distance away. Turds. I couldn't believe it when 3 cops walk out of a little deli 2 shops down and intervene. They told me they heard the man yelling at me from inside. I shared with them all the nice things the crazy man shouted at me and they arrested him. The cops said he was going to apologize to me and immediately I think oh no he is going to try and spit on me or something. But he didn't. He apologized and they escorted him away and put him the back of their car. I never did get hired at that adult bookstore either, haha.

ACTIONS SPEAK
THEN COULDA, SHOULDA, WOULDA
Do you ever get that feeling like someone is going to kill you when you want to talk to that one girl you find extremely hot at the supermarket? It's an unexplainable scary feeling. We all at one point or another experience it. Just remember, it's nothing! It's nothing, its nothing. Well, actually...it is something. It's a small thing called it's all in your mind!!
Don't let fear get in the way of talking to the girl of your dreams. Or, that is all they will ever be, a dream! What's the worst that can happen? She say no? A no is better then experiencing that horrible fear and not do anything about it. Talk to her, because if you don't the fear will never go away when talking to other women!

"I sleep in the nude or just in my underwear. I actually can't remember my last dream. There's this Russian theory that if you look out the window right after you wake up, you forget what you dreamed about because you immediately reconnect to reality as soon as you look outside. I don't know if its actually true, but I remember looking out the window the last time I had a dream."
