Hi Koonce, I may take this weekend to update everything.  Kinda busy with life.  But will do, thanks for the concern.

Hi :)

Did your phone ever work?  Did you ever get to the "slide for emergency" screen?  I would try restoring your phone with iTunes.  You can do this by holding the power and home button for about 20-25 seconds (you will see an iTunes cable and logo).  Now, in iTunes, click "Restore and Update".  If at the end of this, you get a "slide for emergency" screen, your phone is fine.  The jailbreak might have not worked correctly and you just need to restore the phone again.  Just post again with results and I'll try to answer.

Install SBSettings from Cydia (using Wifi).  From SBSettings, you can completely turn off:  WiFi, Edge, 3G (which you don't have), and turn down the brightness.  I believe (from my experience), those are the three that drain the most battery - apart from playing games.  So, let me know :)
