Let me first preface this post with a little background info. It would come as no secret to anyone that knows me, for me to say i drink too much, these days it’s only on the weekends, but i do i drink too much.

The result of a big weekend on the grog often has me in a vulnerable state on a Sunday night, alone at home with no Girlfriend. I find myself regretting the copious amounts of punishment i put my body through and beating myself up over wasting another weekend watching the world go by through the bottom of a beer glass.

It was last Sunday night when i came across the picture below that put things into perspective for me, after seeing this I’ve realised that i am actually quite normal and I’m too hard on myself.

If I get a guilt trip over drinking a bit excessively on my 2 days off then what on earth does this bloke have running through his mind when he puts his head on the pillow on a Sunday night?! It’s not like he’s just got the one lifeless companion either, he’s got 3 of them!

A week today and the 10 finalists in this years Miss Universe Japan contest will take the stage hoping to represent Japan later in the year and Miss Universe 2008.

Since attending Miss Nippon 2008 i had kept a close eye on the calendar in the lead up to next weeks event. Not close enough by the looks of it and it seems ticket sales closed yesterday. I have someone on the job as i write this and i’m still a hopeful starter at next Thursdays event, fingers crossed.

Since its founding in 1998, the Miss Universe Japan pageant, run by acclaimed French national director, Ines Ligron. It has achieved the impressive result of having three top 5 finalists and one winner at the Miss Universe pageant within a short span of 9 years.

Update -

And the eventual winner of Miss Universe Japan 2008, Hiroko Mima.
