detachment is not minding that i didn't win the third oral argument--even if i lost by a point.
detachment is not being indignant at losing--even if i had a better command of the case and a better oral presentation.
detachment is not feeling anything personal towards judges--even if they were unfair, not following the rules, being hypersensitive and/or biased.
detachment is not ruminating on the injustice i believe i experienced--even if it could be factually proven.
detachment is not caring enough to write a blog entry about it at 12:36am when i'm already quite tired and have much else to do.
Posted by naseem at April 5, 2007 12:36 AMWell... sounds like you lost at something (? moot court?), and there was some unfairness.
I'm sorry about that.
However, with every failure, deserved or not - there's usually a lesson. Or two.
Get some sleep. :)

Hahaha. Nas, you are too awesome.
Posted by: +mojan. at April 6, 2007 01:43 AMYeah, detachment. What's up with that stuff?
Posted by: Andrew at April 6, 2007 02:02 AMI can't imagine you losing an argument.
Of course, I also can't imagine detachment.

(I can dream can't I?)
Posted by: greg at April 8, 2007 12:13 AMI didn't need to be so detached ...since I never made it to the third round....ever ever! Good Job Nas!
