I grew up in a household where a missed day of work meant bills were not paid, I’ve lived through the stress that confronts many South Carolina families.
People in Nigeria weren’t happy that I went to Qatar. They said ‘why did you go there of all places?’ They missed watching me on television but sometimes you have to think about yourself and your future as well.
I missed being considered an athlete and having that competitive drive, and missed having something to work for every day. I’d taken two and a half years away from the sport and was out of shape. I wanted to get back to where I was in 2008.
There are many things that I feel I have missed out on.
I was surprised to find that I missed doing the musical.
I have been dealing with back problems since 1995 when I was with the Blackhawks, and I’ve only missed part of one season because of it. That was last season in Toronto.
I took a Fear of Flying class, and I always missed the class, because I was always flying.
The first few days without a cellphone were difficult. I felt liberated from the static of Facebook and Twitter but feared that I had missed some email or call that someone had died.
Rosa Parks will be remembered for her lasting contributions to society. Her legacy lives on in the continued struggle for civil rights around the world. She will be missed.
I started doing sculpture rather than painting. I was halfway through my degree, and I hadn’t really done any introduction courses in sculpture… I’d missed all the technical stuff. I didn’t really know how to weld or forge or carve or model. I’d sort of evaded all those technique classes, so I had no technique.
When you go into a game, and there’s something that was drawn up the way it was supposed to be drawn up, and you missed the throw or the catch, as a receiver, it’s something where you feel bad about that. You can always regret just missing it, but as a football player, you have to move on to the next play.
I was a ’90s kid, so I missed ‘Jem and the Holograms.’ But once I delved into the whole world of it, I realized it’s iconic. There’s incredible dancing in the movie, too.
When it comes to the singing part, I think I missed the boat – the whole family can sing except for me. But they can’t fight, so I suppose I’ve been a bit more successful than them there.
Here’s the mark that a lot of people miss nowadays. Producers missed. They leave out the heart and soul. And that’s what I learned from Sammy Davis, Jr., from Frank Sinatra, is when you went to go see those shows, you got to know them.
He has missed the finest lesson of culture and experience who has not learned how to enjoy without owning.
I think consistency, that’s one thing that I look back over my career. You could count on me catching around 80 balls a year or whatever, almost eight, nine touchdowns. And I only missed two games out of 17 years, I’m pretty proud of that, too.
I missed a lot of school for auditions, but other than that I had a very normal childhood.
I think what most people miss, and what I missed last time, are the people that are important in your life. You know, the relationships you have with people on the ground.
I missed my homecoming for a rehearsal.
Susan Brooks is a hard-working public servant who has spent her career fighting for Hoosiers. In Congress, she was the first woman from Indiana to chair a committee, and has become one of the most effective lawmakers in Washington: her dedicated work on behalf of her constituents and our state will be missed.
Going to Charlotte and being there two years, I missed L.A., but it was good for me.
Because I never attended elementary schools of any kind, I missed most of the books that were popular with other kids my age. There was an exception, however, which was ‘Harry Potter.’ My grandmother gave me the first book when I was about 13, and I read it, then read all the rest.
What is missed when people talk about books is the moment of grace when the reader creates the book, lends it the authority of their life and soul. The books I love are me, have become me.
I was born full grown in the middle of a hurricane and an earthquake on 10 September 1954, 12.52 P.M. When I found out that I had missed lunch, I gave such a shout that the Earth stopped and spun backwards two days. That’s why I celebrate my birthday on 8 September.
Al Plastino helped redefine Superman in the 1950s. His work on ‘Superman’s Girlfriend,’ ‘Lois Lane,’ ‘Adventure Comics’ and pretty much any title in the Superman family will be fondly remembered for years to come. He will be missed.
I’m sure there have been missed opportunities, with films I’ve turned down that went on to be successful, but everyone in the industry has had that happen.
I can’t understand people missing a show because they’re sick: They’ve missed their best performance. You have an obstacle to overcome, and you reach for the heavens, and, doggone it, the heavens answer you.
I have a 4-year-old and a 14-year-old, and think I missed a recital and a graduation, and they were like ‘It’s OK mommy, we’ll take pictures.’ It was my upset, though… they were just fine! I just give them a kiss and a hug and let them know that I love them every day.
I have always loved clothes, and the opportunity to design my own line could not be missed. It’s a dream job.
I don’t know what I am. I guess you can call me a character actor in the sense that I’ll never be an ingenue. You know, that’s over. My shot was missed. I take a normal person and make them more of a character. I don’t know what that would be called.
As a lad I missed five months of sporting activity to OSD. It used to wake me up at night with pain in my knees.
Old as she was, she still missed her daddy sometimes.
My father was a great business leader and humanitarian who dedicated his life to the company and the community. He also was a wonderful family man, a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him, yet he will continue to inspire us all.
My father never saw me play ball, and I was an outstanding ballplayer. I missed all that adoration.
In period films, it always helps to have someone built to carry a sword, and Channing Tatum clearly hasn’t missed a workout for the past two years, so he fits the bill in that regard.
I think I’m bad luck for Tiger because he missed the cut in Charlotte with me. But yeah, those are two of the best players of all time. Tiger’s the best player of all time in my opinion, so when he’s not in the field, it’s a relief because he’s such a great player.
My dad was a plumber. That’s hard work. He never missed a day of work. I will never disrespect him by not showing up for an athletic competition that has a maximum duration of 25 minutes. There should be forfeiture if you have to pull out of a fight. If you don’t show up, it should be a loss on your record.
We don’t have time to wait for President Bush to change his mind. How many breakthroughs have been missed as a result of this policy?
There are a lot of reasons why guys can miss – it isn’t always just black and white – but you just have to learn to move on from it. That’s just the approach I take. I’ve missed plenty of kicks before.
Living a 24-hour news life has come at a personal cost. I still wake in middle of the night to check the stream to see if something is breaking, worrying whether I missed some news.
I’ve missed the association with players and coaches but haven’t missed the recruiting and the travel.
Collaboration is something I missed at one point in The Shins. I really wanted to have that experience again, you know, not having everything rely on me. I wanted to have a partner.
I missed a lot of important milestones in my children’s lives to pursue this sport.
Self-esteem doesn’t come simply from dressing well, but they are both something we can control. It’s a missed opportunity when women say they don’t have the money, figure, etc., because style is such a way to help cultivate the way women feel about themselves.
Sometimes, I actually have missed my trainee days. Because, back then, we were surrounded by music all the time.
I was born too late and missed the dream of empire. Its shadow, the Commonwealth, coincides with my life but rarely connected with it.
We spent too much time attacking Gordon Brown and Labour rather than setting out our own plans. People had decided they wanted change – the thing they were not sure about was the alternative we were offering, so going on and on about Labour missed the point.
All of us make mistakes and the majority of us have missed a day’s work for whatever reason.
I studied political science, and when I fell into acting in college – it was just a total fluke that I became an actor. I ended up changing my degree and went for a double major and missed political science by two classes.
My dad had to work for everything in his life; so did my mum: she cleaned people’s houses and looked after old people. You can be complacent and sit on the couch and complain about the dreams that you missed. Get off the couch!
I wonder how often in the past I may have missed the good in people because I pre-judged, based on the differences?
When I reach the line, I just know I’m going to dribble the ball twice, and when I shoot, I know it’s going in. I get there and relax. I’ve put more in than I have missed, so in my head, I know they’re going in.
