Default I am an Effin tard.

*Monday, i fixed my coolant leak, and i replaced the alternator.*

I wake up this morning, start my car, like the night before it seemed to start slow. i had work today, so i was just gonna wait until i was off tomorrow to see what it was.
I go to 7-11 about 1 mile away from home. turn the car off, go inside. i come back out, car wont start for shit. nothing. nada. no ding ding, no lights, no bells, no dash, no radio clock....nothin!
im thinking alternator...new one could be bad!
i call a tow, free pick up) so i have it dropped off at my uncles house so i can use his tools. i get there, car off the flatbed, for shits and giggles i go to start the car, and it started right up! i turned it off and then it was dead again!
so i proceed to take the alternator off, belt off, the battery out, drain coolant (had to mix it with more water since it was all coolant.).
i take batt and alt to autoparts store, they check it out, they say both are good....now im baffeled. i go to chevy to pick up a new belt (didnt need it but said fuck it, if its off i may as well change it.) and a coolant level sensor since the last one was shot to shit.
i get back home, thinking about what it is....so i change a few hoses out, change the oil, replace the sensor, put that shit back together, close up a vaccum hose that i found that fell off, cleaned some stuff off the bottom end, bought a K&N air filter, and come to find that...

THE FUCKING BATTERY TERMINAL WAS CORRODED!!!!!11!!!

that was my fucking problem!!!11!! after all that extra shit i did that was why my fucking car would not start!!!! DAMMIT to hell!

now i feel stupid.
