Your first move's a horrible blunder.

Indeed, as it allows 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3?! d5! and white is on his/her/its way to getting *too* good of a center, so it gets blown up with ease.

Yeah, your mistake was to solicit criticism ... and then believe what ChessPraxis tells you [/sarcasm]

You're doin' fine. Stick with it. It's not about not making mistakes; we all make them. It's about getting beat by stronger and stronger players. Have fun!

White should find better ways of hiding from building a big center.

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.g3!! (great hiding move) Bg7 4.Bg2 d5 5.cxd Nxd 6e4?? (perhaps I shouldn't have gave sneaky bastard white any praise earlier, they went back to generic center building) Nb4!!! (flawless victory) 0-1.

I'm a coffee house player (not a book player) so I don't care about any of that stuff.

Translation: half the time I don't understand what is being said
