Lunch

2011-10-23T20:02:00.001-07:00

Two lunches. Two different people. One person likes white stuff more. Lunch racism.

Look Alike

2009-12-11T09:59:00.000-08:00

I should be studying for finals. Instead, I'll post a picture of a car that looks like Hitler.

I wish I knew how to rotate the picture. I've rotated the picture, but whenever I upload it, it changes to how I originally took it. Bah humbug.

Woah Banana.

2009-07-10T17:52:00.000-07:00

Dang. Those are some crazy bananas.

Skin Colour.

2009-06-13T14:28:00.000-07:00

So, I found this map on the internet. And I thought it was dandy. Apparently, people from Pennsylvania and New York are pink, and people from Oklahoma are brown. And if you're from Alaska... you're blue. Like a fish. See that really dark part in Africa? Yeah, that's where my ancestors are from.

It's that time Again!

Hey!

So Greg put in his mission papers. Exciting. Now we all have to guess where in the world he is going to go. Since I've been home I've always wanted Greg to go to Bolivia, but that doesn't seem possible. So maybe I'll just stick with Hong Kong, because that's the closest you can get to China. Unless Taiwan is actually closer. Well I guess Mongolia touches China. Well whatever.

So yeah. Yeah for missions!

2 years?

2009-03-22T19:59:00.000-07:00

So, I keep looking at Jeramy's blog and I see that I haven't blogged in two years and I'm just tired of seeing the "two years" underneath it. Haha, so that's the entire motivation of this post. I'm bound to write something more, sometime later. Maybe.

Pop Vs Soda

2006-06-26T17:54:00.000-07:00

Here. Now we can solve another one of our word boundary quandaries.

If you can't read the map, the blue is Pop, red is Coke, yellow is Soda, and the green and purple are others.

Now if only we could solve the Reese's Pieces problem. haha.

For Every Season Turn Turn Turn...

2006-06-14T14:25:00.000-07:00

Hey! How do you say the word 'turn'? Like churn? Like lets churn some butter churn? Or do you say it like tern? Like the Arctic tern, the bird that has the longest migration of all birds? I guess the arctic tern is one thing I remember about 2nd grade.

I think I say churn. But I say turn too. Like if I'm talking fast I'll say churn, but If I say 'you want to turn up ahead' I'll say tern. And I say Re-tern of the Jedi, not Re-churn of the Jedi. Wait, no I don't . I think I just switch between those two a lot. Oh well.

This isn't that huge post either.

My Knee Is Acting Up!

2006-06-13T18:46:00.000-07:00

Must be the weather. But someother predictions I have are that there is a massive post coming along. As long as I sit down and do it. Because we all know that I have very little time, especially in the summer. Haha.

Did you know there is a place in Spain called San Frantziko? Pretty close to San Francisco, no?

So, hmm, I made it this far in terms of a post. I think I can work myself to a larger one... later.

Ciao for now.

Cake!

2006-04-20T19:06:00.000-07:00

Our family will come up with any excuse to bake and eat a cake. Albeit a short lived cake. Featured here is our traditional Easter Bunny Cake.

It isn't the best of the best, but I'm working with what I'm given. Haha.

But we also make cakes merely for numerical phenomenon. Like this year we will have a 06-06-06 Cake. Too bad we missed the 1:02.03 on 04-05-06. That won't happen for another hundred years. Yup, us Barneses sure like our cake. Did I mention it is practically blasphemy to make cake from cake mix at my house? Yup, totally true. We're more strict about that than putting ketchup on our hotdogs.

Mission Call! (sorry this was a couple of weeks ago, I'm slow)

2006-04-06T14:33:00.000-07:00

Something absolutely awesome happened last week!!!!!

I got my Mission Call!!!!!

Look!!! President Hinckley signed it! Awesome!

Going to Bilbao Spain!

I'm excited and grateful to go serve, it will be a great experience.

Here are some pictures courtesy of the grand Rob Fujiki.

Here are some of my best friends that I've made here at the ole BYU
Left to Right Savannah Steele, Kelsey Jeppsen, Mike Eddington (he got his call, going to Richmond Virginia)

Here's Me talking to my sister

James Bass showed up

Keith White and Scott Nelson, prolly betting on where I'm going.

Jeremy "My Dad" Whiting and Tanner "Last Name, I want to say Hanes though"

Greg Palmer and a overly enthused Ryan Murray

Dave Christofferson looking deathly

See, not all Stover 3200 guys are scary looking. I was amazed at the turn out I had, Thanks for all the support guys.

And what is most ironic is that my family was out to visit me for General Conference and I don't even have pictures of them.
Thanks again everybody, I really appreciated all your support.

Haha, and thanks Kelsey for being patient. haha.

Lots of pictures!

2006-03-26T15:29:00.000-08:00

Hey everybody. This is Owen, because Greg never posts. But, anyways, about a month ago to the day, give or take, we were all bored and we decided to go run around campus and take pictures. After playing a hearty game of tag. So in order to celebrate that marvelous event, I decided to upload all 136 photos on to my facebook. Don't have facebook? No problem. I will link you the albums below.

Part 1

I suggest you look at those. I commented on all of them. Haha, I sure do use my time wisely.

And just a teaser to prick your visual tastebuds (huh?) Here's a sampler photo.

The Question

2006-03-06T23:11:00.000-08:00

I went to Preference. So as soon as I get the few pictures that I have, I might put up some more of what we did. But there was the BYUSA lady that took my picture and said that she would put it on the BYUSA website. Someone from Preference in the fall told me that, but it never happened. But she said she was some official. So I hope so.

Oh, and here's the Question!

I thought this was hilarious. I really had to rack my brain to come up with a response that was nearly as good as this one.

So, coming soon! The few pictures of preference that I took, mainly because I was too busy dancing with Kelsey.

Contemplations.

2006-03-02T14:35:00.000-08:00

I have a lot of pictures. Maybe I will even let their presence grace my blog. Just something for you all to look forward to.
Preview of next week: 3 tests!

Happy Birthday: Office Supply Style!

2006-02-18T16:10:00.000-08:00

So it was Marc Phillips' birthday like several weeks ago. And James Bass and I decided to give him a birthday present, courtesy of surplus dining plus and the office supplies at the Creamery. Happy Birthday Marc. (He did like the surprise, and they're all still up in his room.)

Pictures? Doth they Work?

2006-02-14T23:35:00.000-08:00

Supposedly...

2006-02-12T20:34:00.000-08:00

Supposedly nothing has happened since the post suckers and the one before it. haha. That was like 3 months. Maybe I'll post all my crazy college adventures. that would be fun. You'd all prolly enjoy that too.

Yeah.

Have a nice day!

Thanks for all the fish.
