There is something I have been longing to do for months now. It is to take a walk downtown Nairobi on a Sunday afternoon. I am itching to do something. To spin some energy out of me.

Why? You ask.

It is to witness the sights and sounds as young, really energetic skaters do their thing. This is what they do. Children, teens and adults all converge at the sunken park, and enjoy a whole day of learning to skate.

The fun is for everyone, even nerds like me.

So there is this afternoon I went along with my neighbour and a car full of our children to give ourselves that break.

Two of the boys knew the sport, at least to some good extent, while the other two, a toddler included, knew nothing of the sport, but wanted in!

The enthusiastic teachers were on hand, willing to teach even a baby in diapers how to skate! Well, I preferred to watch from a distance while Nairobi teens and young adults almost flew off the ground, and imagine myself skating like an olympics superstar.

Well, I would like to give those rollerblades a try for the holidays. I need to sharpen my focus. Even work on my speed, maybe stuff like that. I am ambitious, I tell you.

Skating could be loads of fun, but right now when you need of this sharp thinking and internet-scouring skill, there is one fast solution. Get down a Red Bull. Right now. Redbull gives you wings.

You will be up and focused before you could balance on a skating board! So there you have it. Make your day count as you look forward to a fruitful day.
