Again, I may be misinterpreting this, but doesn't the Speed of Light Postulate state that the speed of light in a vaccum has the same value in all inertial reference frames, meaning that light would travel 3*10^8 m/s regardless of how fast you were moving.

Before you reach the speed of light in vacuum, matter becomes energy. At the speed of light in vacuum, the kinetic energy requirements for any mass are infinite. Any velocity above the exact* speed of light in vacuum (299,792,458 m/s) results in an imaginary kinetic energy.

MJ is right. Light always travels at c (300,000 m/s) relative to the observer.
