if the starter is making no sound not even a click
the method solderjunkie gave you will verify ifthe starter is geting power and the selonoidis working properly
the you can trace bacwards to find the electrical problem
if the starter works by jumping the terminals
try pulling the starter relay and swap with one of the other relays with the same part number on it

down use a screw driver to jump power across
this should engage the starter
if that has no results jump the two larger terminals
the main battery and the one going from the solenoid to the starter
if it is not turning over then your not getting power to the starter(i know you already know this but it helps me think lol) if it was me i would just start at the starter and work my way back. check all connections and play with the wires he may of bad a wire brake or something like that.
GOOD LUCK

I had my neighbor who's auto savvy come give me a hand, he helped me jump the terminal, then while he was under the car, noticed a wire had come unplugged from my distributor I believe, plugged it back in, and voila!
Thanks to you guys for the ideas and whatnot, I now feel like an idiot after working on the car for several days and he finds the problem in 10 seconds... Me =
