If you ain’t know already, yes, there is a cure for HIV. First, ask Magic Johnson, then go ask Timothy Brown, the guy whose bone marrow transplant to battle his fight with leukemia killed his HIV infliction as well.

Timothy, now 45, had been battling HIV for 20 years. One day he got mad tired and went to the doctor to find out he then had leukemia. I know, fucked up right? Well apparently there are a small percentage of Europeans that are immune to HIV, so his Dr. chose one of their bone marrow samples and voilà, two birds in one stone!

And to think, that simple, why haven’t we been using this procedure on all HIV patients? We could have saved 30 million lives already. Psych your mind niggas! You know industry profit always comes first. If everybody with HIV got cured, whose gonna come up with the next indestructible disease? Huh?

I thought so.


Shaq Retired

After 19 seasons, Shaq retired today … via Twitter! Somebody please tell me no one else has quit their job via social network. Shaq, you the man for announcing one of life’s biggest decisions in the most casual way possible.

Shaq did his thing in the NBA though. He won four championships, one with Miami and three with the Lakers. You have to expect to see him in the Hall of Fame.

I was always a fan of Shaq, even when he played for the Lakers, and all through his crazy times in Miami. He had a few controversial stories rise about his life off the court within the last five years, but he’s still one of the greatest.

Good job Shaq. Your presence will be missed on the court.
