I used Casual to root my phone. My goal was to get a more stock android experience. I played around with it for a little while. I tried Carbon it worked until the reboot then got stuck in a bootloop. I went back to my recovery and now I really need someone to hold my hand through this process of getting things to work.

You tried the carbon rom? What reboot? The reboot done right after the flash of CarbonRom in recovery?
Are you in recovery now? I know it's been 2-1/2 hours since your post but what state is your device in now?

So as of now, you are rooted on the stock rom and your device functions normally so far?
Roms will come with their own kernels. You can change kernels later to tweak performance/overclock/underclock etc.
But I think for now we need to address any rom flashing issue you may have.
What exactly are you having an issue with? Flash a certain rom, or any rom?

Some things to make sure when flashing roms. 
Make sure the rom you are trying to flash is for your device AND carrier (Verizon in this case)
Make sure the md5 of the download matches the md5 posted at the download site--see this about md5 checksums--http://androidforums.com/faqs/443074-md5-verification.html
More often than not, there will be flashing instructions at the rom website...but generally, this is my procedure:
Make sure you save your contacts to google. Save any apps/data etc to google or use Titanium Backup (an awesome app in the PlayStore)
Make sure rom is on the sd card --internal or external.
1. Make a nandroid backup.-- in recovery.
2. In recovery wipe cache/dalvik cache/factory reset/wipe data.
3. Flash rom.
4. Reboot.
Now, some roms such as AOSP, require a separate download of GAPPS. (google apps) after the initial rom flash. Carbon is one of them I think.
Edit: looking at your info, I would assume you have the Verizon S3 and not the HTC thunderbolt?

CarbonRom v1.7 has been my dd for quite a while. It actually performs nearly flawless on my device

Mine does now. I even got Wallet working. My brother looked at it and said, 'You always wanted a Galaxy Nexus.

Carbon is by far my favorite as of yet. I've used various other Roms in the past and with different phones/tablets and there was always something that didn't work or was missing (like no live wallpaper support or nonfunctional GPS )
A problem I've ran into but I'm not sure if it's carbon or me screwing with wallet but u can't delete emails in Gmail. I'll play with it when I get home

I don't use the Gmail app. i prefer the default 'Email' since it allows me to put all my accounts (Gmail, Yahoo! Live) into one app. also i despise the look of the new Gmail app, with the pastels and oversized elements.
There have been problems recently with Google Play but that's not the ROM's fault.
