Well there went my car...
I was driving to work, happy cuz I was finally gonna make it on time. So I pull up to a stoplight, let off the gas pedal. And my rpms shot down to 0, so I was like fawk, but It didn't die cuz i floor'd the pedal. So I was like ok w/e im taking it to the dealer this weekend so whatever.
Light turns green, I try to put it into first, and I literally have to put half my body strength into it to get it to go into gear. Then I realize it's the same with second.
Next stop light, nope, first gear isn't gonna work, at all, I'll break my shifter off before it goes into 1st. Second, I BARELY get it into, by luck no doubt.
The final stopsign before I get to work, first is a no go, cant put it in and when I try, it grinds really bad. Second, same as first, grinds like im half-way in gear and hitting the gas, when I couldn't even move the shifter to 2nd, and my foot was off the gas. So I was forced to put it into 3rd, and pretty much floor it because I was stopped....
So now Ima take it to wal mart today and see if they can figure out whats wrong, and attempt to make it to the dealer which is like 30 mins away...

I don't know much about trannies, but if the clutch doesn't disengage won't it do that? Makes sense to me that it would bog down your engine to the point of 0 rpm.

Actually the wal-marts in florida have pretty good service. in florida, wal-mart is like home depot.
hmm... flywheel went bad?
i'm sure it's not a big deal. but it's good that you made it safely.

Cuz i dont have time to go to the dealer today, and I would like to get an idea of what is wrong with it.
That and I don't know how to get there so im probably gonna (if i can drive) have someone come with me that knows how to get there since it's in the next town.

Worst case : Clutch is gone,
Best case : Your Release bearing is stuck on (like Java said) as if the clutch is still engaged in a gear. But by the way you were describing to me how to try to drive it afterwords, you've probably f'd up your clutch and flywheel....
