Can't help but see, MLIABO, AIAQC as an initial-ism of My Life Is All But Over, And I Am Quite Content, or some permutation therein.
Likely false.
Also interesting how that sideways '<' shape with an X through it appears to be the first character of the last line(rotated ninety degrees, much smaller and without the x).
Actually there is decided inconsistency with how he writes his "M's", "W's", and "I's".... And they all happen to be the first character... In the second to last line, there's a clearly written W, but the 'W' and 'M' from the first and second line respectively both appear to have the same symbol overlain as the final line starts with, albiet, once again, rotated...
If I were a wagering man, I would say that the X on the symbol (which is directly above an 'O') marks a ROT-value somehow, and that the first letter of each line references that symbol(or doesn't in the case of the second to last line) and the orientation of the symbol shifts the ROT value in some pre-determined manner.
If the X in that symbol is indeed referencing the "O" of the line below, it could make sense that that is the only line which isn't character rotated and therefore doesn't have the symbol appear at the beginning of the line in some manner.

^That "I" is the rotated shape I'm talking about.
