Well instead of crying about "my frames screwed blah blah blah" I called up a buddy of mine who is a professional welder and he said he can weld aluminum. Gave him my frame 2 days later he welded it and said everything went really well the aluminum cooperated and he said it should be nearly as strong as it was new. Sure now my bike doesn't look as sleek but I really only care about function. I also repacked the crank bearings with grease and cleaned everything no more creaks and rides like a dream. I also spray painted over the welds and the paint blended really well. This is how you have a can do attitude instead of cry and be set back by a tiny crack in a frame.
