I have lots of apps I need to install and I have no idea how to put them in my menu, and I don't want to run terminal every time I want to open an App, I'm a GUI person.
So can someone help me out? Thanks. :)

IS update-menus not enough?

Well, if something like that worked, then that would be fine.
gavin@gavin-laptop:~$ update-menus
bash: update-menus: command not found

The Debian menu should take care of that (for the most part). Install the menu package:
sudo apt-get install menuThat will generate a menu for Openbox and it will keep it up to date automatically when you install new software.

Copy and past from crunchbang FAQ:
How do I go about getting an auto updated menu in Openbox?
The Debian menu is disabled in the default CrunchBang install. Follow these instructions to enable it:
*
Open the file ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml and find the following section near the bottom:
<!-- system menu files on Debian systems
<file>/var/lib/openbox/debian-menu.xml</file>
<file>debian-menu.xml</file> -->
Change it to look like this:
<!-- system menu files on Debian systems -->
<file>/var/lib/openbox/debian-menu.xml</file>
<file>debian-menu.xml</file>
Save the file and exit.
*
Install the menu package with the following terminal command.
sudo apt-get install menu
*
Add the following line to ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml where you would like the menu to appear:
<menu id="Debian" />
*
Restart or reconfigure your Openbox session.
