SUNNY SWEENEY

I'm Sunny Sweeney.  I'm from East Texas, and you'll know that the minute you talk to me. When I get around my friends from home or family, my accent gets thicker and you will most likely need a translator. I sing country music in a country band, and I play acoustic guitar. I'm a pretty low key person when I'm off the road, and my idea of fun is to sit on the couch with all three of my dogs beside me, a cold beer in my hand watching trash TV. I say what I mean. I love the Grand Ole Opry, and I am a country music history buff. I love the twang of telecaster guitars. I love watching guitar playin' fools that sweat when they play, even when it's only 6 degrees. I love writing songs with bad ass guitar players. Most of what moves me is old school country, but I've been branching out believe it or not. I'm attached at the knuckles to my phone. I love taking pictures...especially ones that will bring back memories months and years later. I love people that inspire me. I miss my grandma (Dotty) and my grandpa (Poppy). I love my parents. I have three sisters and a brother. I have eight nieces and nephews. I love them all so much, but I wouldn't win aunt of the year. I give gift cards for holidays b/c I hate being in the stores right before Christmas. I procrastinate - bad. Most of my friends are hysterically funny, because I enjoy being around funny people. I collect pigs. I have over 2000 pig things. I also collect spoons (the kind you get in a truck stop) of places I've been or that someone else gets me from where they've been. I have what I like to think of as a "healthy obsession" with Merle Haggard. I love chips and salsa, and I can tell from one bite of salsa if I'm gonna like the food at a Mexican Restaurant. I love sitting in a dark living room watching Coal Miners Daughter, Tender Mercies, and Almost Famous (in that order). I drive slow... like a grandpa. Johnny Cash was soooo bad ass. I like fshin' as long as someone baits the hook and I can use a BOB. I like swimming in lakes. I like...no, I take that back...I love cheeseburgers, which I have affectionately, started calling Chaburgers. I love prank calling people. Yes, still. I love Uno and Mrs. Pacman and Galaga. I think everything used to be better including video games and music. I read the thesaurus. I love personalized guitar straps. I have a wall in my house that is covered with crosses...guess I collect those too...I am not domestic at all. I do not cook. I clean a little and I'm good at it, I just don't like it. I do however love doing laundry. Is that weird? I love "Footprints in the Sand." I don't read books, except Chelsea Handler's books and biographies of people I look up to. I read trash mags. I hate lying, but I lew 29 round trips last year. I am not real fast on a computer. I would wear jeans and sweatshirt to an awards ceremony if I didn't think I'd get in trouble. I hate dressing up. I love the smell of cigarette smoke and gasoline because it reminds me of my grandpa. I don't like the extreme cold or the extreme hot, which is why I love California. Plus, there was no humidity, so my hair looked really good there haha! Candles are my thing. Smelly ones. I love iced coffee. I paint my dogs' toenails. I brush their teeth too. I eat Luden's cough drops as candy, and I wanna swim in a pool of chocolate someday. Cheese is my weakness. I love every day of the week. My favorite colors are black and blue and red. I carry a koozie with me in my purse and I drink my beer out of a bottle. I'm addicted to soft sheets. I have over 100 pairs of jeans and I have a weakness for cute boots. Anything else? Just ask...
