I don't want to belittle my opponent, so I've blanked out the name. But I played this on blitz just now and I have absolutely no clue how to respond. Can anyone offer advice?

[Event "RHP Blitz rated"]
[Site "www.redhotpawn.com"]
[Date "2007.12.8"]
[Round "?"]
[White "Pallando"]
[Black "***************************"]
[Result "1-0"]

1. e2-e4 e7-e5 2. Ng1-f3 d7-d5 3. e4xd5 Qd8xd5 4. Nb1-c3 Qd5-e6 5. Bf1-e2 Bc8-d7 6. d2-d4 Nb8-c6 7. d4-d5 Qe6-d6 8. d5xc6 b7xc6 9. Qd1xd6 O-O-O 1-0

For those of you who can't be bothered to go through, it is
1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 d5

I've never played this and wish to improve on such a great site.
Thanks very much

This looks like reasonable play from white at first glance.

Try not to get too distracted and continue developing. Nf6 or Bb4+ if you feel like checking.
