Phew I solved the problem, my brakes are working fine now. I guess I just overtightened the front right screw on my brakes. It looks like that screw holds both of the pivoting arms together. Boy, I hope I didn't cause any long term damage on my brakes though. I'll start riding around tomorrow morning, if I don't post again I might be dead.

Thanks for your efforts nfmisso and painkiller.
