'''Cybertooth85''' is a Texas-based [[writer]] and [[intellectual]], generally considered by all who associate with him to be an enigmatic personality.

'''Cybertooth85''' is the online alias of Geoff Rose (born [[October 12]], [[1985]]), a [[writer]] and [[intellectual]], generally considered by all who associate with him to be an enigmatic personality. Born and raised in [[Fort Worth, Texas]], he is the son of [[engineer]]/businessman Mark Rose, Sr. and clinical project administrator June Rose. His older brother, Mark, is a lawyer in Seattle. His sister Hadi, the eldest child, is a chef, living in Austin.

==Biography==
Born Geoffrey Stuart Rose, his interaction with others was marred by his autism spectrum disorder, and he often made better friends with teachers rather than his peers (as is common in [[aspies]]). In the 3rd grade, teacher Mark Martin created a unique classroom environment for his students that allowed them individuality and exploration of their personal strengths. It was then that Rose discovered writing as a means of self-expression. Taking an interest in acting during the 5th grade, he found an outlet for his often neurotic behavior, as well as a way to learn proper behavioral responses to social interaction. During high school, in both theatre and English classes, Rose transferred his love of storytelling to films, a medium he still believes has the most impact in the art world. It would be the subject he pursued as a major in college.

In [[2002]], Rose received his first award for writing, after an entry into an English competition netted him a school and district-wide award. The piece was titled, “Signs of Courage,” after the contest theme, and recounted his experiences the day of [[September 11th]] and musings on the events then and after. Rose has stated he is personally ashamed of the piece because he earned the award in relation to a tragic event with broad effects on multiple generations, but the project was undertaken with little consideration for this at the time, largely being reactionary.

In [[2004]], Rose graduated Cum Laude from Birdville High School, in North Richland Hills.

Geoff Rose is currently attending the [[University of North Texas]], with a major in [[film]] and a minor in [[english literature]].

==Artistic inspirations==
Being part of [[Generation Y]], Geoff Rose draws his inspirations from a wide variety of media sources and cultural traditions. Of particular interest to him is the cultures of East Asia, notably India, China and Japan. The fuedal period of Japan is a favorite thematic setting of his, with Rose's personal fascination and devotion to the samurai and bushido.

Rose's interest in music is quite varied, usually drifting around based on the emotional responses he experiences towards individual songs, rather than bands. A few of the groups he follows consistently are those with well-developed careers and discographies, including [[The Pixies]], [[Daft Punk]] and [[Queen (band)|Queen]]. Most of his music collection is comprised of movie soundtracks or self-made compilations.

In literature, Rose cites authors such as [[Chuck Palahniuk]] and [[David Sedaris]] for helping develop the modern "blunt, acerbic wit," refined from widespread general sarcasm. Rose also lauds [[J.K. Rowling]]'s [[Harry Potter]] series for encouraging more children and young adults to read, as well as giving a new generation a "childhood book series" of their own.

The unconventional narrative structure, such as those featured in [[Requiem for a Dream]], [[Fight Club (film)|Fight Club]], [[Donnie Darko]] and the films of [[Quentin Tarantino]], is a point of interest for Rose, not only as a [[narrative hook|hook]], but also for "adding another theme of disorder, chaos, confusion to each story." Filmmakers with a perceived talent for international cinema, such as [[Ang Lee]] and [[Hayao Miyazaki]], are considered pioneers by Rose for "their insights into the broadest or at least most penetrating themes of the human condition, and those which will propogate longest and loudest throughout audiences' minds."

==In-jokes==
During the Spring 2006 semester, Geoff Rose and roommate Michael Smoot began using a number of in-jokes, culled from television, the internet, and also personal experiences. Some of the more prominent ones include:
*"[http://www.youtube.com/watch?search=Juggernaut&v=k4qdX6_9XgI Oh, it's the Juggernaut, bitch!]", spoken whenever entering the room.
* "You silly, boy; you silly, blue-striped boy" spoken when commenting on someone's mistake (in reference to a [[Cops]] episode where a gay man was berating the arresting officer).
* "[[Wonder Twins|Wonder Twin]] powers!" a parting gesture made by touching clenched fists at the knuckles (in reference to a moment from the [[A&E Network]] program, [http://www.aetv.com/kingofcars/ King of Cars]).
* "Well-sometimes-you-gotta-[blank]-*inhale*" with the blank being replaced by different verbs or over extended actions (in reference to Dave Chappelle's story from ''Killing Them Softly'' of a drunk friend racing the police, and Dave, being high at the time, merely assenting the idea and taking another hit).

One utilized prominently by Rose's family is the phrase, "I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'." The extended meaning being, "I'm not saying _, I'm just saying _" where the latter comment would be misconstrued as the former: "I'm not saying you're always wrong, I'm just saying you're mistaken here." The phrase is also shortened to the more common, "I'm just sayin'."

In the fall of 2006, Bob Mullins devised the "Geoff Rose theme song," primarily as a parody of Geoff's continual (and unwanted) criticism of popular film and television:

:''I'm an RTVF Major,''
:''elitist douchebag.''
:''Fuck youuuuuuuuuuu.''
