Being In Bad Shape for Debate

Don't you just hate it when you were not able to present your arguments well in a discussion (which has turned into a debate)? And because of this, you were not able to defend your stand and your argument just crumbled right in front of you. I had this over lunch today and I am so bothered by it until this time.

The question posed to me was: What is your ideal man?

I started shooting my answer without so much thought and in the middle of my rambling, I realized I didn't make much sense and then yes - I failed to get my thought across. Boom. I used to be good at formulation of a statement and backing it up with formidable reasons; and it wasn't the case earlier.

Ugh, I better shape up. I gotta practice clearing my thoughts, organizing my points and patiently expressing my statements. Back in school, this process was way easier.
