and i murder someone everyday but Jesus is my homeboy
would i still go to heaven when i die?
i mean after all in Christianity as long as you and Jesus are tight, you're pretty much guaranteed eternal bliss right?

God, not man, judges.

You answered your own question. It seems you don't believe that Jesus is God. If this realization is not there, you aren't "tight" enough nor is the King of kings and Lord of lords your "homeboy".
Herein lies the problem with your question. While in true Christian theology, all sin is forgivable, if you truly have accepted Jesus as your Lord and King you won't live in a way that causes intentional harm to others in such a wanton fashion.

If you -are- a Christian, you wouldn't do that. :)
Once you're saved, you are guaranteed salvation, no matter what you do, but don't forget some people may say they have been saved, but really are not. If you are truly saved, you realize what is good and what is bad, and you make your choices based on what God wants for you.
The answer is--within the confines of the question--yes. But the hypothetical situation presented in it makes the question invalid....

My goodness gracious; Jesus said "he who hates his brother walks in the darkness to this very hour."
Repent now. Turn from your sins now.
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish but have eternal life."
Confess your sins to God and accept Christ as your Lord and Savior. He will come to live in you and give you a new nature.

Modern parlances or slang terms are not befitting the sovereign God of the universe. He is not your "homeboy", your "bro" or your "pal". He is God, the sovereign Lord of the universe. And worthy of all worship and respect.
In the scenario you described, you would basically be a serial killer. It is very good odds that you are not born anew, not indwelt with the Spirit and not a child of God. This does not preclude God from saving you in the future, according to His will and good pleasure, but a continual pattern or life of sin indicates that one is not saved.

You have to repent (to turn away from) ask for forgiveness, and ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart. If you're still murdering people, then you weren't sincere.
It also says in the Bible not to test God.

Your question is only to stir people up. If you continue to murder somebody every day, sure enough you will have your question answered by Jesus himself sooner or later..

I'm afraid not - as it says in 1John 3:15; ' ... everyone who hates his brother is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.'

Wrong. You have been misinformed about Christianity. Unfortunately, it was probably Christians who told you such nonesense. But that is not correct. A life can be saved but it must be changed first. Anyone can be forgiven if they will change their lives and seek forgiveness. But perhaps you don't really care about such things.

No.
You could benefit from a little Bible reading.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 9 9Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (Webster)
Galatians 5:19-21 Or know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with men, 10nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (ASV)
