All i did was put seafoam in the brake booster hose but unfortuantely i did not read on how it should be done and i just got all excited and poured the whole can in. I know im an idiot. It tried starting 2 times now ive got nothing. All fuses are fine and battery is charged. Any ideas i checked the plugs also they do not look fauled out.

you hydro locked the motor up. If you read on the can it says to pour it into the cap and pour it into the brake booster hose SLOWLY. Read instructions guy. Now you have an expensive rebuild ahead of you. This has happened to a few others also because they said they just thought you dumped it in.
Hydro-lock=SEIZED UP

if oyu have power to everything and the starter isn't kicking over at all it could be your solenoid on your starter. Did you try hitting the starter with a hammer. That usually will get you at least one start up. But judging by your story you seized the motor and it may be activating the starter you just don't notice it from the car and it isn't doing anything because the starter is not going to turn over a seized motor.

yeah i hit the starter a couple of times and got my fiance to start it while under the car and the starter doesnt do anything is there anyway to jump the solenoid i know im getting power to it from the battery but its not doing anything when i turn the key
If the solenoid is already engaged and it is in fact hydrolocked it won't do anything. When you try to start it do the courtesy lights dim? If not then your starting circuit is bad. you can try to jump the connectors on top of the starter.
I'd try to turn the motor over by hand first before doing anything. Make sure it's spinning freely.
And what the hell is "Seafoam?"
