down a rook and a piece and with the re8 ready to penetrate is
too much even though black's development is lagging....
How can I improve from here?

good game 
Try playing against people rated 1500-1600 for a better challenge
I agree with hicetnunc. You played much better than your rating IMO. But you want some comments, ok why not :p

most impressed with your thinking in terms of competing for particular squares.
3. ...e6 I think your reasoning for this move is faulty. While it is a reasonable move, he could have moved his Q (prematurely) to f3 threatening mate on f6 before you need to make a prophylaxis move like e6 or Qf6.
8. ...Nd4 careful about moving a piece a second time in the opening without first finishing your development.
11....Qc5 again moving a piece twice. He could have moved Qb3 (a developing move) or Bb3 in response rather than move a pawn although Bd3 protects e4.
Suggest you improve your tactics.

The moves you used in the game were effective. Your opponent played some very sloppy moves. You punished him for it. It is difficult to answer "How could I improve from here?" when you were dominating a weaker opponent. Play another game, but this time against a person 100-200 rating points above yourself. Then you come back when you actually had to fight(and not just shoot fish in a barrel), and then get an analysis on that game. Your level of play appears to be that of a 1500 and not a 1400.
While I appreciate that you think my level of play is that high I find it funny that you say I dominated a weaker opponent. LOL. A few weeks ago I got blown out by a 950ish player and almost lost to a 600! Maybe I'm getting better, but that much better? I do thank you for your reply and will try playing a higher rated opponent. And trust me I will definitely post the game because I'm not good at analysing them yet and it helps me to see what you guys are finding.
Thank you everyone for the replies. Someone already said I need to work on tactics but do you guys see any other glaring deficiencies I should work on?
This game just ended today because of time. I was just looking for a little constructive criticism because even though I won I'm sure I could have done things much better. I'll annotate my thoughts and I would love to see what yours are. This is my first analysis of one of my games by the way. I played as black by the way.
Could he have fought back instead of timing out (resigning by not admitting defeat) or was it just too far gone for him to save?
