This is nice. Black gains and keeps the initiative from the 4th move and never lets go. Beautiful.
Why you don't move your queen out early!
Sort:
Maybe White was looking at GM Nakamura's blitz games. He plays 1. e4 e5 2. Qh5 and other early queen moves. With his ability coupled with the shock value of the move, he might do OK with it. Not recommended for the average player, obviously.
Thanks Fonix. Diabeditor, yeah 2 Qh5 in that case wouldn't be so bad as it causes black some inconvenience but here since d5 was safe I could just go ...Nf6 and win free time.

Nakamura actually played it in a regular game against a 2700 (Sasikiran) and played 1.e4 c5 2.Qh5 in another regular game against another 2700 (Volokitin) and lost as well. Check out the game, he got crushed http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1361150.
Elubas thanks for showing that game, that was a very good illustration of the topic.
This very short game of mine as it turns out is another example of why you shouldn't move your queen too many times. I inevitably would gain tempos on the queen with at least equality, but as it turns out here the queen was running short of squares. It was a 40 5 live game, though it was over quickly.
