Default Just my luck, "brakes"

Well, today I'm pulling out my drive way to go pass by John's house(LS1fever) to go pick up a valve cover for my car and while im in reverse I slow down by pushing in the brake pedal(duh)...and next thing i know, i get tossed around in my car cause my brakes locked up...its almost as if i pulled the e-brake up hard/fast as hell...So I trying moving back forward and nothing...car wont move...almost as if i have the e-brake on...i give it a few mins...and wam, i can move forward and reverse again, but as soon as i tap the brake pedal....yup, you guessed it...freaking brakes lock up like if I were about to engage a head on collision or something...Any ideas as to what this might be guys???

also, everytime i push in the clutch pedal it makes this weird, not that quiet "woosh" sound....

Could you get it to the meet this sunday? We're pulling an engine and doing other stuff anyway, maybe somebody could help you figure it out. I personally haven't done much with brakes, so I don't know how much help I can be, but we might be able to figure something out.

maybe if I drive doing 40mph and only downshifting and using the e-brake to stop, than maybe...I live off of hillsborough ave and habana ave (tampa, for those of you who live elsewhere)
