Who is better looking?

Okay readers. I need your participation on this one. I constantly need reinforcement telling me I’m more handsome than my striking older-brother Nelson. I promise you I’m not self-conscious about such shallow things, but I just want to know—you know curiosity . . . yeah. So please leave a comment voting on whom of the Brothers Bruggeman was the better looking 15-year-old, Rory or Nelson. Be honest. I’m hoping for a record-breaking 4 comments!!!

Nelson’s hair is a little off-color. I remember coming into our backyard one lovely summer afternoon to find Nelson spraying this crazy liquid that I’d never heard of in his hair. His friend Mike had just discovered what hydrogen peroxide does when you put it in your hair. I was jealous. I wanted to be cool and progressive with my hair too. To help you understand and appreciate my credibility at this time, this is a phase in my life where I wanted some JNCO jeans (this is a good six months before JNCO got so played out, stupid posers). As you can imagine, my parents were very happy to come home to their oldest son with the most repulsively colored hair possible. Actually—it kind of looks like my hair color—so never mind about that ugly color thing.

The only thing I have to report about my picture is that this is a time in my life where I wore headgear. I know how much you love my masculine jaw line now, so you can thank my headgear for that one.
