I know, and I know I know.

wow .... that really messed wit my mind :/

All that is certain is that nothing is certain. Now go read a book.

You always think you know, you never really know.

Knowing something is thinking something that is true. Thinking something is that it might be true, might not.

but then when you think something is true do you not doubt yourself?

The intelligent person is never 100% certain that what he is saying is correct, the overconfident person always thinks that he cannot make mistakes.

I think I don't know if I know or I think I know . . . yaknow?

That is totally true. At one time, we all truly and wholeheartedly believed that the Earth was flat. I think that the words of Socrates put it best:
"True wisdom is in knowing that you know nothing"
Brilliant.
Or should I say...is it brilliant?

i do in fact not know maybe

Socrates also said:
As for me, all I know is that I know nothing.

Epistemology ftw.

Yes?

I don't know.

Knowledge is gained through observation, proved through experimentation, and recorded with a pen. Or... something.

But who knows. Just because the experimentation goes right the first time doesn't mean a different result will come from a second experimentation.

Or something. I don't really know.
