Default is this asset alloc okay or am i crazy?

i originally had 100% in vhgex, a world stock. however, i just got my 401k plans and some extra retirement benefits, with very little selection on the funds i can invest.

my proposed asset alloc is now:
vhgex (world stock): 60%
nbgix (supposedly small cap but they have low turnover so about 40% have turned into mid cap): 27%
aigyx (reit): 8%
brhyx (bond): 5%

which turns my morningstar box into:
26 15 12
8 12 12
3 7 6

and my portfolio 95% stocks/5% bonds.

i think risk i can tolerate, assuming that this has less risk than the 100%equity (vhgex) portfolio i used to have. should i put more in reit and ignore bonds? or is this whole allocation retarded and im just not thinking this through enough?

thanks in advance

without knowing what you can invest in, analyzing your allocation is difficult.
