I'm going to miss
The smell when you first open up a can of coffee.
Music
The woods
The sound of nothing after a good snowfall.
The sights and smells of autumn.
New discoveries.

...and these are a few of my favourite things...
I won't miss anything because I'll be dead. I'll just be ashes drifting out over the Grand Canyon or wherever else my brother chooses to scatter them.
What would I miss if I were in a semi-conscious state, stuck in a hospital, nearly dead but still breathing enough to have a mind? Clouds, the smell after a rain, sunshine on my face, ferns, flowers of all kinds, traveling, learning new things, creating something beautiful, finding a gorgeous piece of artwork by someone else, reading a good book, the sound of the ocean, sticking my toes in a stream, and much, much more.
Dead is dead, however, if I somehow found myself in the intergalactic space with nothing but a blindfold, rad and negative pressure shield and an unlimited supply of air and nutrition, I would miss a few things...
Computer games, the smell of gasoline and asphalt, my Wheel of Time audiobook collection and cigarettes would be some examples.
I'll play along. The first thing that comes to my mind is the way the air smells after a heavy rainstorm, I'd miss that. And the comfort of getting into bed after a long day. Weirdly enough, I think it would take me awhile in this hypothetically aware state to get around to missing reading -- it would be all the little, sensual things I'd miss first. Oh, and eventually I'd miss Kevin Bacon.
Wine & cognac.
Sex.
Music, playing guitar, mandolin.
Walking in the outdoors.
Water - seeing it, smelling it, listening to it, swimming on, in and through it.
The sun on my face.
The warmth of my children in my bed on a cold weekend morning.
Cheese and Liquorice (not together)
The female form in general and Vanessa Paradis in particular.
Cycling in deserted hills on a cold morning.
Insulting the French.
Voting UKIP.
Taking photographs.

^^^ This was my first thought.
However, if I was in a position to miss things:
The adrenaline rush when catching a big clean wave on the north coast of Cornwall and riding it all the way in.
Getting mashed and jamming with my guitarist and drummer mates (I'm a bassist)
Real ale
Thai green curry
live bands
Football
Sex
Bacon
Legos
I regret missing seeing how things turn out, will we build on Mars or around distant stars?
I could console myself with the thought everything will go to shit and I'm better off out of here.

Hats. You forgot to mention hats. And babies. A baby is not a person if it's for food, so you can mention those.

Hats. You forgot to mention hats.
Are you suggesting there will be no hats in the unlife?
I've got plenty of hats puts away in my tomb.
I've filled a few spare canopic jars with hats as well, I'm hoping that will keep the dust off them.

Well, I suppose the smell is actually that of bitumen, but I do really like the smell og newly-laid asphalt concrete.
25 Burgers: http://www.25gourmetburgers.com/index.htm
I'll definitely miss Japanese curry. It's like my favorite food ever.
I'll miss dying my hair, laughing at a silly cat meme, and making costumes.
The smell of coffee, the ocean, and fresh cut grass. :)
What does coffee with ocean and grass taste like?

Kevin Bacon? Really??? LOL!
I would miss watching a clay target shatter into a thousand pieces right after the sharp punch of a shotgun in my shoulder. Nothing makes me forget stress then a round or two of trap shooting.
When I was fitter I also shot clays, but it didn't relax me. Shooting vermin, yes. Also I already miss the summer's evenings loosing arrows at the target, the whop of the arrow punching into the straw. The feeling a split second after you loose, knowing it's going in the gold.
1 Lap dances from sweaty strippers named Mercedez, Jazmine, Peachez or Sparklez.
2 Trying to explain to my girlfriend why I came home covered in body glitter and smelling like a French Whore.
3 Cheap Vodka.
4 Cheeseburgers.

I will not miss one thing. Dude...if you can not get it through you thick head that "the end is the end", then may I suggest that you visit a Hospital, or two - and see people actually ....DIE! Tee reality of watching people die explains so much!
Dude...you will not live forever, and you will eventually die. Get use to this fact and learn to appreciate the good things you encounter while you are alive. Do not live in Fear!

It's all a part of The Asmo's Courses on Offending (TACO). €29.95 can get you in as well. No Greek Euros though, because... Well, just because. ;D
Some of these already listed of course
New discoveries (especially technology and extraterrestrial or said coming out of government of ET life)
Watching ourselves colonizing other planets and destroying those too.
Never knowing if the Federal Reserve will be taken out of power.
Virtual Reality (involving video games...maybe a little porn BUT NOT MUCH!..maybe a lot)
I am a bit of a paranoid cynic as you can see but Hey I'm 21 maybe I'll get too see one of those happen...Come on virtual reality!

learn to use it for acts of great evil. ;)

I keep wanting to use religious myths to make money, but i'm not sure how.
In america, the ONLY thing you dont need a vender's liscence for are religious malarkey in the street. I can sell mugs, candles, etc of jesus and not need to pay a tax. How gross is that??

I have been practicing my evil lately, thought I would inflict this forum as a trial run before I unleash myself on the world.
Wanted to save myself some money, but maybe Asmo's TACO course might be a good idea.
Good music.
Playing my piano when it's badly in need of tuning, and fucking it up, and shouting at it as if it were personally responsible.
Tom Waits's voice. Not the man himself, just his voice, so it doesn't count as a person.
Tom Waits's dress sense. Again, just the dress sense, not the man.
Tom Waits's weird, allegorical way of expressing himself.
Tom Waits's hands, arms and legs.
Tom Waits's face.
Tom Waits's name.
Casually abusing logic. Usually to justify my abuse of everything else.
Apples. I am partial to a nice, juicy apple.

You wouldn't have to pretend to be a Christian or anything. And if people just
assume you are one then, well, on their own heads be it.

I will miss paying Taxes...and I will miss the sound of a Dentist's drill cutting into my molar, and the smell of a burning tooth. I will miss the warm rush of impending Influenza, and the heat of pneumonia.
Yeah....I will miss these things.
Actually, I will miss none of these things, for I will be dead. I've listed some negative things, but I could just as easily listed some positive things. But...I don't think it matters when you are dead.
I can handle the thought of being dead, for I have seen it happen so many times. People die. They struggle with all their might and then they cease. In fact, we all struggle with all our might, and then we die. This is the truth of things.
Do not be afraid.
