I just bought a nikon d5000 and when i turn the settings to manual all of my photos are black. Do i need to change something else or could there be something wrong with my camera?

When you set the exposure mode to Manual, you then have to set the shutter speed and aperture yourself. That's the whole point of the manual setting: the camera does none of the work for you.

You should be able to use your SB-22 with your D5000, however you can only use it in the manual mode since it is not a TTL speed light. That means you will need to manually set both the camera and the flash unit. I have done that successfully with an SB-25 on both my D800 and D90 in a pinch, but you should consider investing in either an SB-700 or SB-910. They are allot more versatile.
There is no way to say what went wrong, a digital camera is a very complex machine, lots of very tiny circuits and components that can malfunction. The best thing do here is just replace it or have it exchanged for refurbished camera. Information on getting it repaired is in the user manual for the camera.
You should still be able to see the aperture through the regular viewfinder. When you say 'blue', you mean the whole thing is just blue? No writing? If that is the case, try a fully charged battery, full reset and if no change, I hope it's still under warranty. Get it to a Nikon service point.
The Nikon D5000 must be set in "Live View" mode before you can use the rear monitor to take photos. There is a button that says "LV" to the right of the LCD screen that sets Live View to on or off.
