You can have a feeling about a phrase but if it grammatically still means something else, then I hate to say it but you are wrong.
I could care less. Meaning you have some care, and it could be less...therefore you care about the subject being discussed somewhat. Because you have a level of care that COULD be less.
I could not care less. Your level of care is so low, it could not go lower. This is what you mean and this is the phrase you should use.
Sorry but I'm with blackdragon on this..it's a pet peave when people get this phrase wrong.
