the calm after the storm

November 16, 2012 | 12:51 pm | JCarver

It’s been a week now since I left Las Vegas.  Hurricane Sandy’s extensive wipeout of Long Island’s power grid made going home pretty pointless, and so I remained a guest of the Rio for 8 days longer than I had planned.  Luckily, myself and most of my friends and family suffered only minor damage [...]

jcarver reboot blog 3.0?

November 16, 2010 | 6:05 am | JCarver

It has, quite obviously, taken me awhile to write a new blog entry.  It’s not that I don’t have things going on – there’s certainly been plenty to write about – I’ve just been unmotivated to write in blog format this year.  I have a half-dozen posts partially written and have been writing [...]

After seeing the doctor on monday, we decided to continue ahead with the plan I discussed in my last blog and cut off the final drug I was on to control the ulcerative colitis.  It’s been years since a major episode, but going medication free is still a risk.  I’m obviously hoping to not fall [...]

1. I planned to finally get officially started with a workout program/diet regimen with Alfalfa from SA. He operates a company called PetraFitness where he creates customized plans for training/nutrition. I [...]

The latest

February 3, 2009 | 8:34 pm | evang`

So since the last update… welp.
I got a call the day before I was supposed to interview at the studio whose phone interview I bombed terribly, from a friend who works at a different studio I had worked at before, asking if I wanted to come in and talk about perhaps working for them. I [...]

My List

January 29, 2009 | 12:32 am | steveodwyer

When I was a junior at East Carolina (02-03), I made a list of every single restaurant in Greenville, printed it out, and determined to eat at every single one before I graduated. I didn’t quite make it before I moved in March 06, but I came very close. I still have the original list [...]
