No problem man. When I offer people advice I prefer somewhat blunt truth but I try to do it in a way so that they know and understand that I actually do care about them and that I'm not doing it with malicious intent. I never really had a brother who could give me the low down on shit so I had/have to rely on friends and occasionally family but mostly on trial and error. So when I see people like you who are willing to learn and listen, I try to do what I can.
