yah I typacally do the sicilian, but for some reason, I did horribly this time. Maybe because I wasn't feeling to good during the game.
Can I have help analyzing this game?

You made strange decisions.
For instance, 5... b5 ??
What do you even gain with that move? It only weakens the position. Doesn't even looks good because it attacks something,
What the hell? It was suposed to start as 1.e4, not 0.e4.
How did you put that zero anyway?
By the way, you said you were missing somethings in the begining.
I guess I found the problem.
Not taking the g7 knight I think was the deciding factor in your loss. if u took that then moved the rook behind it, maybe get a check with the bishop and take the queen /w your rook, I don't really see why u did not take that knight, it is what cost you the game.
Also, I think u were perhaps a little pawn happy in the begining moving to many pawns and not developing your pieces fast enough
Why no ...nc6 early? Bd3 is early and overcommittal, so you might as well take advantage of it and challenge his strong d4 knight. You might even have time for g6 and bg7, again pointing out your opponent's interference with his control of d4.

was this a blitz game? u should know not to put your king behind a discovery check. if you do, make sure that you know what pieces you might lose. n e ways. before that, is there some reason you didn't take that knight as soon as it checked your king?
If I hadn't put myself in discovery check, he would have played Qg7 checkmate, and if I had taken the knight immediately, he would have played exd5+ winning my queen
lol...
Personally, I would have played 6... g6. I think black would have been better off fianchetto-ing the bishop, which would have translated into the dragon variation.

Instead of 5...b5, you may have wanted to try some kind of central push like e6 or e5 to stake out some territory before commiting to the fianchetto.
FYI -- He had a simple mate in two at the end with 22.Qxh8+ Qe8 23.Qxe8#...
I completely agree with PaulGottlieb about 11...d5, there's a lot to not like about that move. You've got some undeveloped pieces and an uncastled king and the light square bishop is attacking that e4 pawn -- why move d5? it's a positional error and wasted a tempo, IMO. You left your king in the center and neglected development -- that's a recipe for giving your opponent winning tactics. And he found them. His 16.Nxg7! was a wonderful move.
BTW, I don't think 17...Bxg7 would have saved your bacon. Your position is tailor made for "sacrificial attack" .. consider that after 17...Bxg7 White nearly mates you immediately with Qd8+ where only Qe8 prevents mate. That doesn't mean much except to say -- your position is hanging by a thread. So after 17...Bxg7 he might have played 18.Rxf7+! Kxf7 (forced) 19.Rf1+ ... and I think he has a mating net or will win back his material with interest. *edit... oh, I just noticed Paulgottlieb looked at something similar!*
