Tripping With Geoffrey Odell Donaldson

Michael is a bored, middle aged insurance clerk who thinks his life sucks. His customers bitch bitch bitch. He's not rich, he does not have a super-model girlfriend, and he feels like a nobody. His life is very blah. Michael, was raised in a religious family and while he does not attend church, mostly out of guilt, he says a morning prayer which turn into a self-pity party. Suddenly, during these prayers, the new mail clerk from work, Geoffrey Odell Donaldson, starts showing up. Michael keeps kicking Geoffrey out of his house but he keeps coming back. Michael complains to authorities at work but they say there is no Geoffrey Odell Donaldson. During one of these prayer visits, Geoffrey reveals to Michael that he is God and wants Michael to do more in life and quit complaining about his finances and used car. Geoffrey says Michael is better off than half the world. Michael is not 100% sure about Michael, a bored, middle-aged insurance clerk who thinks his life sucks. His customers bitch. He's not rich. He does not have a super-model girlfriend and he feels like a nobody. His life is very blah. Michael was raised in a religious family and while he does not attend church, he says a morning prayer which turn into a self-pity party. Suddenly, during these prayers, the new mail clerk from work, Geoffrey Odell Donaldson, appears in his bedroom. Michael complains to authorities but they say there is no Geoffrey Odell Donaldson. During one visit, Geoffrey reveals that he is God. Geoffrey tells Michael that he has it good and to quit complaining. He tells Michael he needs start living. Michael finally agrees that Geoffrey may be right so starts by going on a date with a co-worker. The date is a disaster because Geoffrey joins them (she can't see Geoffrey) and Michael is distracted. Afterwards, Michael is falsely arrested for stalking an Amish woman and the responding police mistake Michael for a notorious criminal, The Blah Robber. Geoffrey, acting as a lawyer, clears Michael. Now, an AWOL-from-work Michael is almost fired and then has a near near melt-down. Geoffrey pushes Michael into a road trip to the Grand Canyon for mental health purposes and because Geoffrey has an undisclosed mission-from-God for Michael. The trip's stops include the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, (Yes, Brenda Lee should be out, the composer Franz Liszt should be in), a Chicago bar where all the women start appearing as the famous actress, Jessica VanSaunders, a Tulsa soup kitchen where where Michael denies knowing Geoffrey, Amarillo where Michael is saved from an upset cowboy by MMA-loving librarians, outside Amarillo where Michael disarms a mugger by finally admitting to knowing Geoffrey. Once they get to the Grand Canyon, Michael is kidnapped by sight-seeing members of a Mexican drug gang because they think he is the rival gang leader, El Blah. They drive him him across the state in Michael's stolen and the-radio-will-only-play-Liszt car to deliver him to their leader. Michael tells the gang members that he is just an insurance clerk from New York and they can change their life if they just turn to Geoffrey. However, the message is not being received. Michael is taken out into the desert to be executed. Michael escapes the execution because of a lucky encounter with rattlesnakes and captures the gang leader by techniques learned from the MMA librarians as well as a well-placed kick to the leader's nads. Just as Michael gets the gang leader into his car, a Russian gang exchange student, gun drawn, jumps into the front passenger seat. She asks Michael questions that indicate Michael's message has gotten through. Satisfied, she gives him a big, romantic kiss and they haul the gang leader to the police. (At the police station, Geoffrey is helping out as the desk sergeant.) With the gang leader in custody, Michael realizes he has done mighty things that he would not have thought he could do weeks earlier. However, Michael finds out his mission was not to fight crime, or feed the poor, or save damsels in distress but to do something that will have a lasting effect on mankind and change world history, take a certain truant kid with great potential to school. “You almost get me killed just so I can take a kid to school?” Michael dutifully arranges that and returns to work where Geoffrey and three other mail clerks show up at his desk. Uh oh.....
