Sounds like a cut in your positive battery cable... I really hope you didn't leave it like that and that you did pull the negative cable off or something...
I dunno why smoke would come from the exhaust. It should've come from the cable that was burning.

thats exactly what it sounds like.. what should i do... get a new battery (even though i did just a month ago) or get new cables??? because its always sounded like it was starting slowly and usually never started on the first try... until today hwne it didnt start at all .. it sounded like it was right about to start but it never really got there!

Before you do anything else, check your ground wires. I had this issue with another car before, and the description fits perfectly. Without adequate grounding, the positive wire will get cherry red. Hope this helps....
