Amidst the harbor lights which remain in the distance

A good vacation is a beautiful thing. I am so worn out right now it is not even funny. I have to admit that my first cruise experience was much better than I had anticipated. Carnival is the bomb diggidy. And the Bahamas is a beautiful land of pristine beaches and gorgeous scenery. The 2005 Woodlon Family and Friends Cruise was definitely a wonderful experience (as usual) and I can't wait for the next go around.

As for the "harbor lights" citation, if you're still guessing, it's fro mBlack Star's track, Respiration, fro their debut album. It's the same song that featured Common with the dope ass chorus that goes:
So much on my mind I just can't recline
Blastin holes in the night til she bled sunshine
Breathe in, inhale vapors from bright stars that shine
Breathe out, weed smoke retrace the skyline
Yo don't the bass ride out like an ancient mating call
I can't take it y'all, I can feel the city breathin
Chest heavin, against the flesh of the evening
Sigh before we die like the last train leaving
This past weekend was a new level of relaxation. I got to catch up with my much of family and crack jokes, take pictures, and enjoy the good company, good food, and an overall good time. From the beach to the party to the parasailing to the jet skis to the lunch buffets to the cancelled flights, it definitely stands out as one of the most memorable vacation experiences.

The new moon rode high in the crown of the metropolis
Shinin, like who on top of this
People was hustlin, arguin and bustlin
Gangstaz of Gotham hardcore hustlin
I'm wrestlin with words and ideas
My ears is picky, seekin what will transmit
the scribes can apply to the transcript, yo
This ain't no time where the usual is suitable
Tonights alive, let's describe the inscrutable

I love love love that song. I have that whole album memorized. That took me back.

Sounds like you had a good time with your family... good post!
