xmonad is showing a 'x' by default instead of a pointer, I have set the default cursor in Xdefault but its not working, its working for some apps but not for all.

Add the following to .xinitrc:
xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr

I added xsetroot -cursor_name Premium & to my xinitrc but it didn't work.

Add exactly what I wrote above to .xinitrc.
Then add the following to .Xdefaults:
Xcursor.theme: Premium

Following is the output of my xinitrc:
xsetroot -cursor_name Premium &
nitrogen --restore &

You were already told what to do.
Change "xsetroot -cursor_name Premium &" to "xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr"

But if they tell you that I've lost my mind, maybe it's not gone just a little hard to find...

That's because there's no cursor named "Premium". That the theme you're using. You want left_ptr, which is the normal cursor. Currently you're getting X_cursor. "boat" is another good choice.
