How come I lose more with white than with black in Blitz?

It's not even close. I don't understand. I mostly play the same openings with white and black in Blitz as well as in Rapid, in which I don't have this issue.

I really can;t come up with any explanation for it, maybe one of you people might?

I don't know but I saw this and hope you can provide an explanation.

5 Ke2?  Was that a mouse slip?

It was.

Also, I have days that I play well, and days I'm playing like a donkey, depends on my mood really. The first few games are always tough, I need to get in the groove or something.

It doesn't explain why I lose more games with white in the long run though.

Perhaps you have a stronger opening repertoire with black, and not so much with white.

Possibly because when some players are white, they tend to play more aggressive and seek space in the position. This isn't a bad thing, but it could lead to mistakes from certain types of players.

     This happens to a lot of low and medium rated players. As white you will try to make aggressive moves and carry the game to your opponent, but are not yet a strong enough player to do this successfully often enough. As black, you get to see what white is trying to do and look for a way to respond. This is easier, and many times your opponent will be the first to make a mistake.
